The Neighborhood Will Introduce First Spinoff Character Sooner Than Anticipated — See Photos
As previously reported, CBS is readying an offshoot of its long-running sitcom that would spin off the Butler Bros. A backdoor pilot will air as part of The Neighborhood's one-hour Season 7 finale (on Monday, May 5 at 8/7c) and introduce several new characters who would join Calvin and Tina's sons as they branch out on their own.

The March 31 episode already set in motion Malcolm's spinoff storyline: After being passed over for head coach of USC's baseball team, the assistant coach told his toupee-wearing boss to shove it. He returned home and revealed to his family that he quit his job, but he clearly didn't know what he was going to do next.
Following a one-week break, The Neighborhood Season 7 will resume on April 14 and introduce one of four new spinoff characters ahead of the backdoor pilot. In the episode, Malcolm attends an event for his creative writing program and scores a meeting with book agent Lisa, played by Life in Pieces alum Angelique Cabral. According to the official character breakdown, the 'impeccably dressed, high energy and unpredictable' Lisa 'seems genuinely passionate about Malcolm's writing talent, and hopes to take him to the top of the literary world.'
Three weeks later, in the May 5 finale, Malcolm will graduate from USC and move to a new neighborhood, Venice, roughly 45 minutes from his longtime home of Pasadena. Marty will inevitably decide to join his big brother in Venice, and the episode will introduce the rest of the prospective spinoff cast — which, in addition to Cabral, Sheaun McKinney and Marcel Spears, will include Justin Long (Mom), Kara Royster (Pretty Little Liars) and Hunter King (Life in Pieces); additional character breakdowns can be found here.
If the as-yet-untitled spinoff moves forward, it potentially would air Mondays at 8:30 pm this fall, behind the eighth and final season of the mothership. It is one of several comedies vying for the time slot, including the very-much-on the bubble Poppa's House, which wraps its first (and potentially only) season on April 28. A decision should be made by May 7, which is when CBS will reveal its 2025-26 primetime schedule.

Jimmy Kimmel Stands Up for Stephen Colbert with an Emmys Billboard Ad
"I'm voting Stephen," the billboard read in reference to the ongoing Emmy votingNEED TO KNOW Jimmy Kimmel is sticking up for Stephen Colbert amid Paramount/CBS' decision to cancel The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Jon Stewart, Seth Meyers, and more have previously come to Colbert's defense The network is facing allegations of political censorship due to Colbert's criticisms of President Trump's administrationJimmy Kimmel is standing up for Stephen Colbert amid the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Kimmel, 57, appeared on a billboard ad in Los Angeles encouraging Emmy voters to vote for Colbert, 61. The billboard features a headshot of Kimmel beside an announcement of his own Emmy nomination for Outstanding Talk Series. In large white text below, the billboard read, "I'm voting Stephen." Variety was first to report the news. The billboard comes amid Paramount's decision to cancel Colbert after 10 seasons. In a statement from CBS previously shared with PEOPLE, the network said, "This is purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night. It is not related in any way to the show's performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount." Colbert took over the show in September 2015 following David Letterman's departure. The cancellation came days after Colbert openly criticized the network's parent company for its sizable settlement with President Donald Trump. Following the network's announcement to cancel the popular program on July 17, several late-night hosts have shown solidarity for Colbert, including Kimmel and Jon Stewart, who hosts The Daily Show. Immediately following the cancellation news, Kimmel shared a clip of Colbert from the July 17 broadcast. "Love you Stephen," Kimmel wrote. He also called out the network behind the decision. "F--- you and all your Sheldons CBS," Kimmel added. In a fiery statement on July 22, Stewart, 62, said, 'If you're trying to figure out why Stephen's show is ending, I don't think the answer can be found in some smoking gun email or phone call from Trump to CBS executives or in CBS' QuickBooks spreadsheets on the financial health of late night." He continued, "I think the answer is in the fear and pre-compliance that is gripping all of America's institutions at this very moment, institutions that have chosen not to fight the vengeful and vindictive actions of our pubic hair doodling Commander in Chief. This is not the moment to give in." Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Seth Meyers weighed in too. 'For as great a comedian and host he is, Stephen Colbert is an even better person,' he wrote in a post on his Instagram Stories. 'I'm going to miss having him on TV every night but I'm excited he can no longer use the excuse that he's 'too busy to hang out' with me.' Members of the Television Academy have until Aug. 27 to cast their votes. Read the original article on People

Jimmy Kimmel erects L.A. billboard endorsing 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' for Emmy instead of his own show
The move comes two weeks after Colbert's CBS show was canceled. Jimmy Kimmel is telling everyone that he wants Stephen Colbert's Late Show to win an Emmy this year, even though his own Jimmy Kimmel Live is also nominated for the same award. The comedian has rented a billboard, at the intersection of La Cienega and Santa Monica boulevards in West Hollywood, on which he declares, "I'm voting for Stephen." The nominees in the category of Outstanding Talk Series this year are Colbert, Kimmel, and The Daily Show on Comedy Central. Though Colbert's show has been nominated for 33 Emmys in all, across various categories, since 2017, it's never won. EW has reached out to reps for Colbert and Kimmel for comment. Kimmel's show of support comes two weeks after Colbert announced on-air that CBS' Late Show franchise, which David Letterman began in 1993, will end next year. The network said its decision to pull the plug on the franchise was "purely a financial one" and that it wasn't "related in any way to the show's performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount." It continued, "We are proud that Stephen called CBS home," officials said in a statement. "He and the broadcast will be remembered in the pantheon of greats that graced late night television." Critics, however, have called out the timing of the announcement, which came in the same month that Paramount Global, the parent company of Colbert's network, agreed to pay $16 million to President Donald Trump over an interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris that aired on 60 Minutes in November. Trump has long disliked late-night hosts' jokes about his administration and, since the cancellation, has said that he's hearing "a strong word" that Kimmel will be canceled next, then The Tonight Show's Jimmy Trump has denied that he was behind the decision to end Colbert. "Everybody is saying that I was solely responsible for the firing of Stephen Colbert from CBS, 'Late Night" he wrote on social media. "That is not true! The reason he was fired was a pure lack of TALENT, and the fact that this deficiency was costing CBS $50 Million Dollars a year in losses — And it was only going to get WORSE!" At the same time, Kimmel and The Daily Show's Jon Stewart are among those who have come to Colbert's defense, with their words and even cameos on his show.
