'I am here to reveal right now — it is a song from my favorite band in the world that is objectively the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world, Foxy Shazam, here they are. They're gonna perform it for you guys — 'Oh Lord' — come on guys!' the DC Studios co-CEO said in welcoming the group.
Later on at the event, Gunn was spotted upstairs in a private terrace with a view of the stage, rocking out to the song alongside his friends and wife, Peacemaker actress Jennifer Holland.
Formed in Cincinnati, Ohio back in 2004, the pop rock band initially disbanded in 2014, but has enjoyed a comeback since its reunion in 2020. As of 2025, the band's lineup comprises lead vocalist Eric Nally, pianist Sky White, trumpeter/backing vocalist Alex Nauth, bassist Existential Youth, guitarist Devin Williams and drummer Teddy Aitkins.
Earlier this evening, Gunn told the Hall H crowd of the forthcoming sophomore installment: 'I really like TV shows where the characters don't just return every season and they're the same exact characters. I want to see growth. I want to see change and sometimes regression. And Peacemaker is a different guy this year. He's dealing with the demons he uncovered from the first season and trying to deal with them, and the world is not accepting him the way he is. They aren't accepting him as a hero.'
As fans might expect, Gunn's blockbuster triumph Superman will predate the events of Peacemaker Season 2, with the show's characters appearing as that movie's supporting cast: Green Lantern/Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion), Hawkgirl/Kendra Saunders (Isabela Merced) and Maxwell Lord (Sean Gunn). That trio, as seen in the first teaser, grill Peacemaker for an interview with the Justice League.

NYT ‘Strands' Hints And Answers For August 3
Looking for Saturday's Strands hints, spangram and answers? You can find them here: Forbes NYT 'Strands' Hints And Answers For August 2 By Paul Tassi The New York Times' Strands puzzle is a play on the classic word search. It's in beta for now, which means it'll only stick around if enough people play it every day. There's a new game of Strands to play every day. The game will present you with a six by eight grid of letters. The aim is to find a group of words that have something in common, and you'll get a clue as to what that theme is. When you find a theme word, it will remain highlighted in blue. You'll also need to find a special word called a spangram. This tells you what the words have in common. The spangram links two opposite sides of the board. While the theme words will not be a proper name, the spangram can be a proper name. When you find the spangram, it will remain highlighted in yellow. Be warned: You'll need to be on your toes. 'Some themes are fill-in-the-blank phrases. They may also be steps in a process, items that all belong to the same category, synonyms or homophones,' The New York Times notes. 'Just as she varies the difficulty of Wordle puzzles within a week, [Wordle and Strands editor Tracy] Bennett plans to throw Strands solvers curveballs every once in a while.' What Is Today's Strands Hint? Time to do the NYT hint and then my own hint after that: 'Sorry, didn't catch that.' And mine is: Take that clue literally Now we begin the answer portion of the program which is the spangram and the full list of the other answers, the spangram is: SPORTSGOOF Here it is on the page, and read on: And the answers are: FAULT FUMBLE ERROR BLOOPER BOBBLE WHIFF MUFF A funny idea for a puzzle today, all the different ways you can screw up in sports. Some of these are more official terms like FAULT, FUMBLE and ERROR, others are more colloquial, describing mess-ups in general like MUFF, WHIFF and BLOOPER. I don't think any sport tracks how many 'Bloopers' a player makes. Right? Granted I don't know all the sports. Follow me on Twitter , YouTube , and Instagram .

John Stamos jumps into Jesus Christ Superstar at the Hollywood Bowl in last-minute casting change
John Stamos has joined the starry cast of the Hollywood Bowl's Jesus Christ Superstar concert, replacing Josh Gad after he was forced to withdraw from the first performances. The Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice musical is set to be performed at the iconic Los Angeles venue this weekend, with a cast led by Wicked's Cynthia Erivo as Jesus and singer Adam Lambert as Judas. The show opened Friday and runs until Sunday. Stamos shared the news Friday on his Instagram, just one day after Gad announced he had contracted Covid-19 and would need to step away from his role as King Herod. 'This is an honor. A dream. And also a little insane because… I just stepped off a plane from @thebeachboys tour in Spain and have less than 24 hours to pull this off,' the Full House star wrote in part. 'Wish me luck. And let's rock the Bowl.' Gad had been slated to play King Herod, but shared his Covid-19 diagnosis Thursday along with the news that he would no longer be able to perform. 'Rarely have I had the opportunity to witness up close such profound brilliance and artistry," he wrote on Instagram. 'I am truly bummed that I will not be able to perform this evening with this cast. But I am so excited for all of you to witness firsthand what I have been fortunate and honored enough to experience over the past three weeks." However, by Friday the Frozen star had tested negative. Gad, who credited Paxlovid with helping his symptoms subside, then confirmed Saturday that he would return to the production Sunday. Stamos will perform Saturday night. Jesus Christ Superstar was first released as a concept album in 1970 and premiered on Broadway in 1971. It has been revived several times since. Joining Stamos, Gad, Erivo, and Lambert in the cast are Hamilton star Phillipa Soo as Mary Magdalene, Milo Manheim as Peter, and Raúl Esparza as Pontius Pilate, along with a supporting cast and ensemble filled with fellow Broadway performers. Fans have raved about the concert on social media, with many calling Erivo's performance as Jesus a 'top theater moment.' 'If you're watching Jesus Christ Superstar at the Hollywood Bowl this weekend, brace yourself for a truly unforgettable performance,' entertainment reporter Ashley Lee wrote on X. 'Most beautiful production i have EVER been to. jesus christ superstar at the hollywood bowl you will live forever in my heart !!!!' someone else wrote. 'Jesus Christ Superstar at the Hollywood Bowl was nothing short of spectacular. Adam Lambert was PERFECT. Cynthia Erivo's Gethsemane was one of the best live performances I've ever seen. If there's a single ticket left - Go!' another shared. The Hollywood Bowl is known to produce star-studded concert versions of hit Broadway shows. In recent years, the venue has produced Kinky Boots, Les Misérables, Rent, Guys and Dolls, Into the Woods, and Hairspray, among others.
