The main one being, where do Noah Wyle’s Dr. Robby and Patrick Ball’s Dr. Langdon stand after their huge falling out over the past two seasons?Their rift began near the end of Season 1, when Robby discovered that his protégé had been stealing prescription painkillers from his patients and kicked him out of the ER until he sought help for his addiction. After Langdon returned from his stint in rehab in Season 2, Robby was less than thrilled to see him back at the hospital, leading to a rather awkward holiday shift that ended with the two still on bad terms.Between Robby’s disappointment and Langdon still getting the cold shoulder from his former mentor, there’s no telling how the two will begin to repair their friendship in Season 3. But as Wyle told Vanity Fair in a recent interview, he’s eager to explore what’s ahead for the duo, especially with his distressed character returning from his months-long sabbatical, hopefully, in a better state of mind.“You wanna bring those characters together somehow in Season 3,” the actor said, “and yet it’s gonna be flipped. Robby’s coming back now to an environment he hasn’t been in for a couple months. We don’t know what kind of ring rust he has as a physician or what type of shame or embarrassment. He’s walking back into an environment that he wasn’t acting as best self at the last time he was in.”“That’s one relationship I’m really excited about exploring,” he added.Read more at Vanity Fair.Tina Fey Recalls The Will Ferrell ‘SNL’ Sketch That Was So Bad It Never Made It To AirTina Fey knows that even the most talented comedians can still bomb every now and then.On a recent episode of Jason and Travis Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast, the “Saturday Night Live” alum shared the best example she could think of — not from her own experience, but from fellow former cast member Will Ferrell, who once had a sketch flop so hard it never even made it to air."One time Will Ferrell had a sketch that we thought was so funny, that was about a guy who looked exactly like Gabe Kaplan, the ‘Welcome Back, Kotter’ guy," Fey explained, referring to the stand-up comic who portrayed the title character in the hit 1970s NBC sitcom.Kaplan’s curly hair, thick mustache and trademark sweater vests made him instantly recognizable during the show’s four-season run. However, Fey recalled that the “SNL” audience at the dress rehearsal didn’t seem to get the reference in Ferrell’s sketch, as the joke fell completely flat."It was like, a guy who looked like Gabe Kaplan and who works at an accounting firm, and then he comes over, and they're like, 'Oh, you just missed it. Gabe Kaplan was here.' And he's like, 'You didn't call me. No one came to get me. You know I'm obsessed,'" Fey said on the podcast."It was so funny at the table read, and then death,” she added.The sketch was reportedly yanked from the “SNL” lineup after it crashed and burned in rehearsal. Though it was a pretty embarrassing experience for everyone involved, Fey said she still came away with a valuable lesson about comedy."To see it happen to Will, who, everyone loves Will, the audience,” she said. “That even Will face-planted was almost reassuring.”Read more at Entertainment Weekly.Steven Spielberg Says This ‘80s Icon Was Supposed To Play Indiana Jones — Not Harrison FordHarrison Ford may be synonymous with Indiana Jones today, but according to director Steven Spielberg, the role in his film franchise was originally destined for another ‘80s icon: Tom Selleck.During a recent appearance on the “IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson” podcast, Spielberg revealed that he and co-creator George Lucas initially selected Selleck to lead 1981’s “Raiders of the Lost Ark” before circumstances forced a change."He came in, and he read for the part. He was good," Spielberg said of Selleck. "His test was good. I loved it.""But that's where the strings of destiny didn't cross with Tom,” he continued. “We wanted Tom. We gave Tom the part, and then he had, which we didn't realize, an outstanding contract with CBS network to do ‘Magnum P.I.’”Selleck went on to star as the titular private investigator in “Magnum P.I.” throughout the show’s eight-season run from 1980 to 1988. Although he was enthusiastic about the first “Indiana Jones” script, he ultimately had to pass on the opportunity because his crime drama had already been picked up by CBS and was preparing to start shooting.“When they heard we wanted Tom, they immediately put ‘Magnum P.I.’ into production, preempting Tom from being in ‘Indiana Jones,’" Spielberg explained on the podcast.Had Selleck landed the role of Indiana Jones, Spielberg joked that the actor’s signature mustache wouldn’t have made the cut, saying, “Maybe if the films were as successful, he could have demanded the mustache.”Read more at People.Meet The Director Of 'Backrooms,' The Youngest Filmmaker To Nab The No. 1 Movie At The Box Office"Backrooms," the sci-fi horror film starring Chiwetel Ejiofor, Renate Reinsve and Mark Duplass, dominated the box office over the weekend, pulling in $81.5 million.It has the highest-grossing opening weekend for indie film studio A24. Behind its success? Twenty-year-old filmmaker Kane Parsons, who became the youngest filmmaker to nab the No. 1 movie at the box office with his feature length directorial debut.Josh Trank, who directed "Chronicle," previously held the record at 27."Backrooms" is based on the viral YouTube series Parsons created called "The Backrooms (Found Footage)." He told Indiewire he chose the A24 deal over attending college during his senior year of high school.Written by Will Soodik, the film follows Clark (Ejiofor), a furniture store owner goes through a doorway that leads to a strange set of never-ending rooms. Dr. Mary Kline (Reinsve) sets out to find him.“It very much felt like, boom, suddenly there's a new avenue that is still risky,” he said. “[Hollywood's] not stable at all. And I was assuming this will come and this will go, this will be over quickly. This is just what happens, and this is neat, but I'm going to try not to get too caught up in it.”"Backrooms" is now playing in theaters.Read more about Parsons at People Magazine:‘Euphoria’ Creator Addresses Major Character’s Tragic Death In Series Finale: ‘An Honest Story About Addiction’It’s officially the end of the line for “Euphoria,” especially now that its main character is (spoiler alert) dead.After Sunday’s finale, creator Sam Levinson confirmed that the HBO drama would not return for a fourth season, making Season 3 its last. It’s arguably a fitting place to conclude the series now that Zendaya’s Rue is no longer at the center of the story. The final episode saw her character’s long battle with addiction finally end after Alamo (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) tricked her into taking fentanyl-laced Percocet, resulting in her death.During a post-show segment on HBO, Levinson defended his choice to have Rue die, saying, “It felt like an honest ending. The honest ending is people like Rue don’t make it.”In a way, Rue’s ending echoes the real-life death of Angus Cloud, the “Euphoria” breakout star who died in 2023 from an accidental overdose. During Rue’s overdose sequence in the Season 3 finale, she shares an emotional moment with Cloud’s character, Fezco, through previously unseen footage.“I wanted to tell the story for Angus and for people who weren’t granted a second chance,” Levinson explained of the scene, also tearing up over his past struggles with addiction.“I can say with absolute certainty that if I was going through what I went through when I was younger now, I wouldn’t be here either, so… there’s no reason to sugarcoat it,” the creator added beforehand.Although Rue’s self-destructive tendencies throughout the series always seemed to suggest a tragic outcome, many “Euphoria” fans were still stunned by her shocking ending in the series finale.See some of the reactions to Rue’s death below.yes rue has done oxycontin, percs, coke, xans, ketamine, heroine, molly, liquid valium, fentanyl, nitrous oxide, lsd and jack in the box BUT DAMMIT. SHE. SHOULD. STILL. BE. HERE. pic.twitter.com/twnlFC2bup— amaya (@grosherie) June 1, 2026
