The Masked Singer aired its season finale tonight, and Gretchen Wilson is this season’s winner.
However, that is not the story. For the first time since the mysterious celebrity singing competition began unmasking celebs in 2019, it will not be airing in the Fall. Instead, it will return in 2026.
The news is not surprising because it went from being one of the most-watched shows to “It is still on?”
It was. And it will be interesting to see if they are going to change up the judges. The only change that has happened since season 1 is that Nicole Scherzinger left for Sunset Boulevard and Rita Ora took her seat. If I were Fox, I would definitely replace Jenny McCarthy and one of the men, Robin Thicke or Ken Jeong.
Before Will Estes starred in shows like Blue Bloods, he only appeared on Highway to Heaven for a few seconds. How cute was the 10-year-old in that 1988 episode?
Earlier today, Fox cancelled Rescue: Hi Surf. However, not everyone was getting that dreaded phone call. The network picked up Joel McHale’s Animal Control for a fourth season and Going Dutch with Denis Leary for a second one.
“Animal Control and Going Dutch are proven winners thanks to signature FOX characters brought to life by Joel and Denis — two of the funniest comedic voices on TV today, giving us an ideal foundation for building our new comedy block,” said Michael Thorn, President, FOX Television Network. “With a focus on creating irreverent, fun workplace humor that’s both outrageous and unpredictable, Joel, Denis, their castmates and production teams deliver reliably laugh-out-loud moments week-after-week that will keep fans coming back season-after-season.”
As excited as I am that Animal Control is still in control, I just have one request for the upcoming season! I want more animals!!!
‘Tis the season to find out what you will be watching in the Fall. CBS got things started off today by announcing their schedule for the 2025-2026 season.
The FBI and NCIS series are switching days. So, FBI and CIA will air on Mondays, while NCIS, NCIS: Origins, and NCIS: Sydney are moving to Tuesdays. Wednesdays and Thursdays will stay the same. On Fridays, Sheriff Country and Fire Country will lead into Donnie Wahlberg’s Boston Blue.
All I have to say is that there are too many spinoffs! But it works well for them.
It has been almost 18 years since The Sopranos ended its run on HBO, and we are still talking about the series’ final seconds.
So much so that yesterday, when Lorraine Bracco was on The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon had to ask her about it.
She was sitting next to James Galdofini when he found out what the ending was going to be. He stood up, said, “That’s it,” brushed his hair back with his hand, and walked out. And she was like, “Yeah. I guess that’s it!”
She didn’t say whether or not she agreed with the fade-to-black ending. But she did say the show’s creator, David Chase, did something right because we are still talking about it. As much as we hate not knowing the family’s fate, it is one of the most talked-about series finales ever.
Bracco also discussed working with Leonardo DiCaprio in The Basketball Diaries, and she told the NBC late night host that the Oscar winner had a “very cute ass!” I am not sure that is the best thing to say about the actor who is playing your son. But you have to respect her candidness.
I just love the actress. I have adored her ever since I saw her in one of my favorite movies, Sing. Talking about movies. She was there to talk about her film Nonnas. Can you believe this is the first comedy she has done in her career that spans 45 years? Hopefully, there will be more in her future because she is funny.
