(AP Photo/Andrew Harnik, File)LOS ANGELES – “Saturday Night Live” went political with a parody of this week’s presidential debate, Chris Rock's jab at President Donald Trump and Megan Thee Stallion's message supporting Black people during her performance. The NBC late-night sketch series on Saturday night jumped into the reenactment of the recent debate between Republican President Donald Trump and Democratic challenger Joe Biden. The series opened its 46th season, returning to the studio this week after the coronavirus pandemic halted production. Alec Baldwin returned to play Trump before the president’s COVID diagnosis, while Jim Carrey made his feature debut as Biden. “President Trump is in the hospital from COVID, and I just want to say that my heart goes out to COVID,” he joked.

NEW YORK – Drew Barrymore is setting a high standard for herself as she joins the world of daytime talk show hosts on Monday. “We’re all human beings on this planet going through our lives and our journeys and there’s a way to connect through that,” Barrymore said. I’ve never lived in that space.”“The Drew Barrymore Show,” retrofitted for the coronavirus era, is being distributed by CBS Television. Bill Carroll, a veteran television consultant and expert in the syndication market, said he’s impressed that Barrymore is shooting high. Yes, some may regard Barrymore as slightly loopy and hippie-dippie (“we’re all human beings on this planet”), but it’s more endearing than annoying.

When the trailer for Uncut Gems came out in fall 2019, many people (including this writer) were skeptical of the movie. And then the movie finally hit theaters, and all the skepticism of Sandlers ability to play a serious role was quickly wiped away. He owes a lot of people a lot of money, and we get to watch Ratner make deal after deal, just waiting for it all to implode. Were used to seeing him play bumbling buffoons who barely have their lives together, but after youve watched Uncut Gems, you realize that Ratner isnt that much different from Billy Madison or Happy Gilmore. We can only hope Sandler got a boost of acting confidence with this role in Uncut Gems. Not that any of his latest project are that bad, but do we really need another Grown-Ups movie?
