Sandra Oh Curses CBS For Canceling Stephen Colbert
Sandra Oh called out Paramount and CBS during her visit to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on July 21 after news of its sudden cancellation. While the network said the cancellation was "purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night," many celebrities, politicians, and fellow talk show hosts believe otherwise. The cancellation came only three days after Stephen publicly criticized CBS's parent company, Paramount, for a $16 million settlement with President Donald Trump after he accused 60 Minutes of "deceptive doctoring" in how they edited an interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris. Paramount is also in the middle of a potential merger with Skydance, which requires the approval of Trump's administration. Sandra — who is currently in Smurfs and Aziz Ansari's Good Fortune — isn't the first celebrity to share their opinion on The Late Show cancellation, but she is the first to literally curse them. "Can I just start by saying something that I feel like probably everyone here and everyone who is so supportive outside wants to say — that I am so sorry and saddened and properly outraged for the cancellation of late night here. Not only for yourself and for this entire family who are here, but for what it means for what it is of where we are in our culture and what it means for free speech," she said. "So I just want to say sorry, and also if I can have your hand, to CBS and Paramount, a plague on both of your houses," she added, grabbing Stephen's hand. Stephen added, "I am very grateful," before Sandra said she had one more thing to say. "And also a pox on all those they serve." "Thank you, Sandra Oh. That's very nice of you to say," Stephen replied. "Very kind, Sandra." Sandra's curse might sound familiar because it's a catchphrase made famous in William Shakespeare's tragedy Romeo and Juliet. In Act 3, Scene 1, a duel occurs between Tybalt on behalf of the House of Capulet and Mercutio on behalf of the House of Montague. When Mercutio is defeated, he says, "A plague o' both your houses! / They have made worms' meat of me: I have it / And soundly too: your houses!" Spoiler alert for the almost 500-year-old play: the curse comes true when a quarantine stops Romeo from learning that Juliet is not dead but asleep. In the end, Romeo ends his life, and when Juliet awakes, she ends her life too. It makes perfect sense for the award-winning, theatrically trained actor who is set to star in Twelfth Night for Shakespeare in the Park later this year to recite a line from Romeo and Juliet to call out CBS and Paramount. Watch Sandra on The Late Show below:

After Stephen Colbert's firing, here's who shines on late-night TV
Times are hard in the world of late-night TV, as evidenced by the shocking July 17 announcement that CBS's "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" will end its 10-year run in May. Declining profits and viewership, combined with rising costs (and often frequent jabs at a sensitive president), have made the late-night talk show host one of the country's more precarious jobs. Yet each week, Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, Jon Stewart and others hit the stage to comment on world events, speak to star guests, and make America laugh. Here's who's still kicking it, late-night style. 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' The Show: "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" is filmed before a live audience in New York City's historic Ed Sullivan Theater, airing on CBS four nights a week. The Run: Colbert, 61, took over "The Late Show" in September 2015 from previous host David Letterman. Earlier, he was a correspondent on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" and took his conservative-blowhard persona to a spinoff series, "The Colbert Report," which aired from 2005-14. Fun Fact: CBS might have canceled Colbert and "The Late Show" franchise, but the host still has 10 months to rock some late-night comedy. And from the looks of it, already, it's going to be wild. 'Late Night with Seth Meyers' The Show: NBC's "Late Night" is shot at Studio 8G at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York City, near Meyers' previous Studio 8H home as "Weekend Update" host on "Saturday Night Live." The Run: Meyers, 51, has been the host of "Late Night" for more than 11 years, taking over the job in February 2014 from Jimmy Fallon, who was promoted to "The Tonight Show." Fun Fact: The "Late Night" in-house band, The 8G Band, was cut due to budget reasons at the end of Season 11 in May 2024. 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon' The Show: "SNL" alum Fallon hosts "The Tonight Show" in Rockefeller Center's Studio 6B. The Run: Fallon, 50, has been at "The Tonight Show" since February 2014. Fallon is the sixth host of the storied franchise, and took over the role after Jay Leno's second tenure. Fun Fact: In 2024, Fallon was the last late-night host to shorten his week to four days, in another cost-cutting move. 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' The Show: ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" is the last late-night show to be shot in Los Angeles, taped on Hollywood Boulevard in the building formerly known as the Hollywood Masonic Temple. The Run: Four-time Oscars host Kimmel, 57, has hosted "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" since January 2003. ( Kimmel takes summers off, and guest hosts are filling in through Labor Day.) Fun Fact: Despite its title, "JKL" has not aired live since its first season. 'Last Week Tonight With John Oliver' The Show: "Last Week Tonight" is filmed at the CBS Broadcast Center in New York City and airs on HBO Sundays (11 ET/PT). The Run: Former "senior British correspondent" on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show," Oliver, 48, has hosted the satirical "Last Week Tonight" since April 2014. Fun Fact: Oliver's weekly HBO series won the best talk show Emmy for seven consecutive years starting in 2017, prompting an awards split into two categories – talk show and scripted variety series – to give more traditional talk shows a shot at winning. 'The Daily Show' The Show: Jon Stewart serves as Monday's "The Daily Show" host on Comedy Central with a rotating cast of other hosts including Ronny Chieng, Jordan Klepper, Michael Kosta, Desi Lydic and new host Josh Johnson. The Run: Stewart, 62, replaced Craig Kilborn, serving as the "The Daily Show" host from January 1999 to August 2015, and returned as the Monday "The Daily Show" host in February 2024. Fun Fact: Stewart's return marked the first time a former long-term late-night host returned – not just for a cameo, but as an "appointment viewing" weekly fixture. 'Gutfeld!' The Show: Greg Gutfeld's "Gutfeld!" is shot five nights a week at New York City's Fox News headquarters. The Run: Originally titled "The Greg Gutfeld Show," airing on Saturday nights, Fox News Channel moved the satirical look at current events to weeknights starting in April 2021 and renamed it "Gutfeld!" Fun Fact: Late night's highest-rated show, averaging 3.1 million viewers, has one major fan – President Trump, who appeared on "Gutfeld!" in September 2024, earning the show's record audience of 4.9 million viewers.

Oscar-winning filmmaker Guillermo del Toro to receive key to the city for ‘creative relationship' with Toronto
Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro is set to receive Toronto's key to the city in a ceremony Thursday morning. Best known for films such as 'Pan's Labyrinth' and 'The Shape of Water,' the 60-year-old del Toro has received several achievements over his more than three decade career, including three Academy Awards, three BAFTA Awards and two Golden Globe Awards. 'Mayor Olivia Chow will present a Key to the City, honouring a celebrated filmmaker whose visionary work has helped shape global cinema and who has maintained a long-standing creative relationship with Toronto,' the City of Toronto teased in a media release. The key presentation will take place during a joint ceremony with Cinespace Studios, where the Marine Terminal campus sound stages by the city's waterfront will be renamed in honour of the Mexican director's contributions to the film industry and Toronto's cultural landscape. The city release did not name del Toro as the recipient, but a spokesperson with Cinespace Studios confirmed it will be him. 'The Key to the City is a traditional symbolic honour, as the city has no physical gates to unlock,' the city release continued. 'The ceremonial key and certificate represent the City's recognition of exceptional civic contributions. The Mayor selects the recipients, acknowledging those who have contributed positively to Toronto and its residents.' A post shared by Acadia Art and Rare Books Est. 1931 (@acadia_books) From filming movies in the city to advocating for an independent theatre in Roncesvalles, del Toro also has a publicized affection for Toronto. In July 2024, when the Revue Cinema was facing the threat of eviction and closure, del Toro urged Chow to save the theatre. In a followup open letter , he wrote: 'It would be tragic to lose a venue like that, which is sustained by the sheer love of its patrons and is a hub of production and many, many of the film practitioners (gaffers, set decorators, set designers, etc.) are proud and avid cinephiles. The denizens of Toronto tend to be humorously self-deprecating, but to an outsider, the city is a place that loves cinema with real passion.' Del Toro commonly refers to Toronto as his 'second home' and has shouted-out his favourite restaurants, theatres and bookstores across the city in the past.
