It was a long night for Tom Brady at his live Netflix comedy roast, as it was for the rest of us watching from home.
Starting with a bloody Oj Simpson jersey and ending with Brady smashing an iPhone on stage, the Netflix live event, “The Greatest Roast of All-Time: Tom Brady,” honored the seven-time Super Bowl champion. The modern-day legend faced his biggest challenge yet: being roasted by comedians and his former NFL teammates.
At times hilarious and at others a bit cringe-worthy, the unedited live event was a lengthy affair that made one truly appreciate the editors of the Comedy Central roasts. Their task was to condense the content into a concise, entertaining 60-minute presentation. Here, bits went on far too long, and former football players had glazed looks in their eyes in the background. The comedians who do this for a living performed incredibly well, while the others…...

The Baltimore Ravens host the Houston Texans in the AFC Divisional Playoffs from M&t Bank Stadium on Saturday, Jan. 20 with kickoff at 4:30 p.m. Et. The Ravens (13-4) should be well-rested from their bye week, while the Texans (10-7) are coming off their Wild Card win against the Cleveland Browns by a score of 45-14. This is the second meeting of the season between these teams, with their first game coming all the way back in Week 1. The Ravens took that game 25-9, on the back of two scores from Justice Hill after J.K. Dobbins was lost for the season with a torn Achilles tendon. That’s old history for both teams now, and you can watch them look to write a new story when they meet on ABC and ESPN, which you can watch with a subscription to Directv Stream.

Exclusive: Mark Wahlberg is the latest Hollywood notable to be added to the guest list of ESPN’s Manningcast, the alternate Monday Night Football telecast hosted by Peyton and Eli Manning.
The actor and producer will appear tonight, with former NFL quarterback Michael Vick and Iowa basketball standout Caitlin Clark also on the docket. The game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs is a rematch of last February’s Super Bowl.
Although Wahlberg’s loyalty to the New England Patriots remains intact, one of his acting credits makes him a logical person to weigh in on tonight’s contest. In the 2006 film Invincible, Wahlberg portrayed Vincent Papale, a real-life figure from Eagles lore. Papale became a local sports legend after managing the unlikely feat of winning a chance to play for the Eagles after impressing coaches at an open tryout in 1976.
This is the third season of Omaha Productions’ Manningcast.

The View paid tribute today to the late Bill Geddie, the show’s co-creator with Barbara Walters and longtime executive producer who died July 20 of coronary issues.
In addition to clips featuring Geddie’s usually comic appearances on the show, View moderator Whoopi Goldberg and current and past panelists remembered their old boss with affection and candor.
“He was 68 years old, really cranky and really funny,” Goldberg said at the start of the segment.
Watch clips from the tribute below.
Both Goldberg and former co-host Sherri Shepherd recalled how Geddie offered words of support and encouragement during times of controversy and backlash.
For Shepherd, the controversy came early in her View tenure when, in 2007, she suggested she didn’t know if the earth was round or flat. “I’ve never thought about it.” Shepherd said at the time, but today said that after the episode, she told Geddie she knew...

FX's "Atlanta" is known for throwing viewers a curveball or two, but the show's reputation for unpredictable twists is why many will miss it after it concludes its final season this fall. Over the course of four seasons, the critically acclaimed series has turned itself into must-see TV for its bold innovation and sharp comedy, but the show's surprise guest appearances every now and then have also become a fan-favorite trend.
Though some episodes of "Atlanta" have faked viewers out with teases of appearances from folks like D'Angelo and Tupac and even made big moments out of its signature characters like Donald Glover's Teddy Perkins, the actual stars who have been seen in the series are always a real treat. Even those who were originally slated to guest-star on "Atlanta" have been a surprise for viewers.

ESPN shocked the basketball world late Wednesday night when its Senior NBA Insider Adrian Wojnarowski reported that Boston Celtics head coach Ime Udoka was likely to face a lengthy suspension for having an intimate relationship with another team employee. The Athletic similarly confirmed that the affair was completely consensual, but because it involved a subordinate, it was a violation of the Celtics’ organizational policies and could likely result in a season-long suspension.
The story, which broke during the middle of the week when there is often a lull in the football news that’s the cabler’s greatest source of interest this time of year, dominated ESPN’s Thursday morning news coverage.
Still, many felt like the coverage of Udoka’s personal life has been excessive, especially considering the other, arguably larger stories of ethical lapses currently being discussed in the sports world. Former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre...

“FX’s Atlanta is like a box of chocolates,” he wrote, considering the whitest imaginable lede for a review of FX’s Atlanta. “You never know what you’re gonna get.”
Going back to the self-named show from the grossly misbehaving comedian we don’t discuss anymore, the most intriguing part of the FX comedy brand has been half-hour shows with no discernible format and no singular tone. Your average episode of Pamela Adlon’s Better Things could sometimes be three serious vignettes or one cohesive and silly story, could focus on Adlon’s Sam or any of her daughters, could make you laugh or make you cry. Reservation Dogs is currently in the middle of a flawless second season of episodes that have ranged from rollicking road-trip installments to single-set meditations on grief.

Actor Ryan Gosling was set to guest star on season three of Donald Glover’s FX show Atlanta, but plans fell through.
The show has always been guest star heavy with folks like Migos, KattWilliams, and Michael Vick appearing on the show but Gosling is an unexpected choice I’m sure not even fans didn’t see coming.
In an interview with People Magazine, Glover detailed how he approached the Oscar nominated actor, and the reason he couldn’t participate. “I was so bummed because the part was so great for him”, Glover said. “He said he was a big fan, but he had something else, and it just didn’t work out.”
It’s no surprise Gosling turned it down as the actor has a packed schedule. He’s set to star in upcoming films including The Gray Man, Wolfman, Barbie, and a few others.

Plenty of people may have thought Whoopi Goldberg deserved the two-week suspension she received this week from ABC’s “The View” because of her recent erroneous comments about the holocaust. But on Friday’s “Real Time,” Bill Maher defended Goldberg and said the punishment was “insulting.”
Maher, who said he considers Goldberg a friend, mainly defended her on free speech grounds. But he also advanced the idea that it’s important to understand that Black people and white people in America have very different perspectives that can often be shocking, and that’s Ok.
So for those of you catching up, on Monday’s episode of “The View,” Goldberg said that the Holocaust “isn’t about race.” Now, she wasn’t denying that the Holocaust happened, nor did she deny that the Nazis first and foremost were targeting Jewish people. But, she did say, “It’s about man’s inhumanity to man.

You are allowed to disagree, Bill Maher argued during his Friday Real Time on HBO. And he brought up two instances of news this week from the world of television to underline his point.
Maher talked about Whoopi Goldberg’s crisis and suspension from The View because of her analysis of what the Holocaust was really about. Maher, who has been targeted by Goldberg in the past, said he was not in favor of her cancellation, “as much as I disagree with her crazy statements.”
He pointed out Goldberg’s show is called The View, emphasis on “The.” That’s the problem in America,” he said. “There is one true opinion, and everyone else can go sit in the corner.”
He pointed out a time where Goldberg defended quarterback Michael Vick, who was suspended from football for his role in a dog fighting ring. Goldberg was a rare defender of Vick when that situation emerged,...

“Redemption” is a tricky word. It’s one that comes up toward the end of “Vick” — Stanley Nelson’s two-part, four-hour “30 for 30” profile of former NFL quarterback Michael Vick — though it’s not brought up by its title subject.
In an attempt to provide a full accounting of Vick’s life and career, “Vick” stops short of full absolution or outright condemnation. With a person who’s still capable of inspiring equally passionate reactions — from those who argue for his superiority as a generationally influential football player, as well as those who say his role in a highly publicized dogfighting scandal should negate any athletic legacy — Nelson has made something that looks to address both as thoroughly as possible. It’s an admirable goal, but in this expansive project that winds between moments of insight and moments of redundancy, that pull between two opposite ideas doesn’t leave much room for anything else.

Updated, 2:38 Pm: ESPN said today that Vick, the two-part 30 for 30 documentary about former NFL star Michael Vick, will premiere at 9 p.m. Thursday, January 30. The second installment will bow a week later, at 9 p.m. February 6.
Previously, October 28: The past decade for ESPN has been an eventful one, to put it mildly.
The Disney-owned sports powerhouse has broadcast some of the highest-rated games in its history, re-upped with the NBA and NFL, launched new networks and entered the streaming race. But it has also coped with industrywide pay-tv subscriber declines, management changes and intense scrutiny of its relationships with league partners and the political views of its talent.
Over that stretch, arguably ESPN’s biggest creative triumph has been its 30 for 30 franchise, which is marking its 10th anniversary this month. Crowned by the Oscar-winning breakthrough of O.J.: Made in America in 2016, the banner has been attached to more than 100 feature films,...

Of all the judges’ dumb guesses during Fox’s reality TV show “The Masked Singer,” this one may go down as the dumbest.
After Monster was revealed as the winner of Season 1, each panelist made their final prediction for who was hiding inside the one-eyed teal costume.

A version of this story about “Atlanta” first appeared in the Down to the Wire issue of TheWrap’s Emmy magazine.
The second season of the Emmy-nominated FX show “Atlanta,” which was dubbed “Robbin’ Season,” features an alligator, a gothic horror encounter with a Michael Jackson look-a-like, a spiritual journey through the woods and a drunken foot race with Michael Vick.
And yet somehow, the show’s creators think this season is a little less weird and experimental than its first.
“We knew we didn’t want to do it exactly the same way. I think by doing it with a more linear type of story line, that will subvert our weirdness a little bit,” executive producer Stephen Glover told TheWrap. “Our weirdness is still there. It was just us trying to find new ways to just be weird.”

“Atlanta” won two Emmys for Donald Glover last season, but the Outstanding Comedy Series trophy slipped through his fingers. This year, the show is looking to take home more statuettes after garnering 16 nominations, leading the comedy category. There’s stiff competition, ranging from returning nominees “Black-ish,” “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” “Silicon Valley,” and “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” to first-timers “Barry,” Glow” and “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.”
But with incumbent winner “Veep” out of the race this year, “Atlanta” is a frontrunner.
The FX comedy is pinning its hopes on six episodes that have been submitted to Academy members to watch, according to GoldDerby. While 11 episodes comprise Season 2, these six have been singled out to present specific, special elements, in addition to creating an overall impression of the year’s offering. How well do these episodes succeed? Here’s a breakdown of each with additional insights from the cast and crew interviews with...

“Atlanta” is nothing short of a cultural achievement with the awards and critical acclaim to back it up. In Season 1, Donald Glover wanted viewers to feel what it’s like to be black, while in Season 2, his brother Stephen Glover emphasized that the show would attempt to capture the essence of life in Atlanta.
While the FX series has tackled those goals narratively and thematically, with deft insight and biting humor, “Atlanta” also brings home the feel of the town on a more visceral level as well. Shooting on location at familiar haunts but through a filmmaker’s eye gives the city of Atlanta the spotlight in a way that hasn’t been seen before. Working in concert with the visuals is the show’s soundtrack that represents the diversity of musical influences in the city.

[Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers from the “Atlanta” episode “Money Bag Shawty.”]
“Atlanta” continues to blow us away week to week with its insight into today’s culture, brand of danger-comedy, gorgeous cinematography, and layers of meaning all packed into a half hour. Thursday’s “Money Bag Shawty” kicked off that episode’s tone with a direct reference to a viral video.
White Tears
In the spoof, a blonde white woman with the username “lilysmom_11” addresses the camera, distraught over her daughter listening to Paper Boi’s (Brian Tyree Henry) latest song on the radio. The mom proceeds to read out loud the song’s lyrics, which include profanity and liberal use of the N-word. As she becomes increasingly upset, she’s particularly disturbed by the rapper voicing a disdain for college and referencing Colin Kaepernick. She eventually breaks down crying, and later, Earn and his friends toast to her “white tears” for giving Alfred’s song even more exposure.

In 2001, Michael Vick was selected as the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft by the Atlanta Falcons. Not only that, but he was the first African-American quarterback to be taken with the top pick, after registering the fastest 40-yard-dash speed of any Qb in the history of the NFL combine.
In other words, he’s a hugely popular figure in Atlanta who’s well-known nationwide for his quick feet. And if that’s all there was to the retired athlete’s story, the third episode of “Atlanta: Robbin’ Season” would’ve gone off without a hitch. Up until Vick’s cameo in the final minute, Episode 3, “Money Bag Shawty,” is an exemplary illustration of institutionalized racism — with Donald Glover’s Earn spending an entire night trying to stunt on people, only to end up getting shut down time and time again.
