Sandra Oh on Paramount, Skydance and Colbert cancellation: ‘A plague on both your houses'
Actress Sandra Oh condemned the cancellation of 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' during an appearance on the program Monday. 'I am so sorry and properly outraged for the cancellation,' she told Colbert. 'Not only for you … but for our entire culture and what it means for free speech.' CBS announced last week it was canceling 'The Late Show,' citing financial constraints, though the move is being met with widespread skepticism about the motives of the network's parent company. Paramount, which owns CBS, Comedy Central and a number of other linear broadcast assets, is attempting to secure a multi-billion dollar merger with Skydance, a deal that will need approval from the Trump administration. Paramount agreed to pay Trump's foundation $16 million earlier this month to settle a lawsuit he filed against CBS News over a '60 Minutes' interview with former Vice President Harris last fall. Oh, appearing on 'The Late Show' on Monday, took Colbert's hand, addressing CBS and Paramount directly. 'A plague on both of your houses,' she quipped. Colbert, who himself earlier in the evening ripped the network, thanked the 'Grey's Anatomy' star and said 'you're very kind.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Sandra Oh Knows What's Great About Middle Age
During the Los Angeles fires in January, the actor Sandra Oh, like many of her neighbors, had to make a decision: What would she pack in her car if she had to evacuate? Her first thoughts were about her journals. 'There's a lot of them,' she told me when we spoke last month onstage at the Tribeca Festival, 'and I thought: I can't take them all! Do I take the first ones? Do I take the past 10 years? It just makes you think, What are the things that are very, very important to you?' Oh has kept diaries since she was a young girl growing up as the daughter of Korean immigrants in Canada. She wrote about her big feelings as a little kid, the discrimination she faced when she landed in Hollywood in her early 20s, the ups and downs of her 10 years playing Dr. Cristina Yang on 'Grey's Anatomy' and her thoughts around her more recent roles, like the intelligence agent Eve Polastri in 'Killing Eve.' The diaries, she once wrote, are a place where she is 'putting together all the clues of my life.' That life has been a trailblazing one. None of the characters Oh is most famous for were originally written for an Asian actor, including her upcoming stint as Olivia in Shakespeare in the Park's 'Twelfth Night, ' which opens in August in New York City. Now in her 50s, she is reflecting on what it took to get where she is and how she's still growing in this ' rich middle' of her life. It is rare to be able to see a person processing the events in her life even as they are still happening. So it was wonderful when, onstage at Tribeca, Oh read from her diaries for the first time publicly. Then we spoke again, this time not in front of an audience. Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon | iHeart | NYT Audio App We're going to be reading from some of your journals. I want to start with an excerpt from a momentous day in your career: your last day on 'Grey's Anatomy,' which you were on for 10 seasons. Ten seasons. It was amazing. April 25th, 2014. Yesterday was my very last day of work on Grey's Anatomy. It was joyous. I waited for my call time. I felt excited and jumpy to get to work. I had my hug from Laura and my first-last makeup from Norm. Desiree and I danced to Michael Jackson in the trailer. It was fun. I passed everything out and wrote some more cards. Grabbed a lousy lunch at the screening. Took lots of pictures. Lots of hugs. Then after lunch they surprised me with the ceremony-thingy for me. Tony and Joan — cake sheet and cider. Very lousy and cheap and wonderful. I'm interested in you saying that it was joyous. This was the end of the biggest thing in your career. Why were you so happy? I'm still figuring out what that decade of my life was. Not everyone gets to know that they're leaving a show. I was in a very, very fortuitous position, and I took advantage of it fully, meaning that I wanted to leave well. And I think that for me, one of the proudest things that I have in my life is how I left the show. I was as conscious as possible with all the crew members and actually even with the public. It was basically to help people say goodbye as I was saying goodbye. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Indigenous fashion designer with northern Ontario roots celebrates success
Indigenous fashion designer Lesley Hampton, a member of Temagami First Nation, is celebrating Indigenous History Month with a featured pop-up at Holt Renfrew. Indigenous designer Lesley Hampton of Temagami First Nation has her line featured at Holt Renfrew for Indigenous History Month. Her inclusive fashion has been worn by stars like Kim Kardashian and Sandra Oh. Amanda Hicks has more on her story. Lesley Hampton, a member of Temagami First Nation, is seeing her work featured at Holt Renfrew in Mississauga as part of a three-week pop-up celebrating Indigenous History Month. The Anishinaabe artist and designer, whose inclusive and mental health-focused fashion has gained international attention, reflects on her journey from a young sewing enthusiast to a celebrated name in the industry. Lesley Hampton Fashion designer Lesley Hampton poses for a photograph in a shared fashion space at the Toronto Fashion Incubator in Toronto on February 4, 2019. The emerging designer has woven fashion with activism ever since she launched her brand. (File photo/Nathan Denette/THE CANADIAN PRESS) From early sewing to fashion dreams Hampton first learned to sew at just four years old, crafting a teddy bear for her brother. 'A few years ago, I actually found what I ended up making, way back when, and it kind of looked like a flat duck-shaped thing,' she said with a laugh. 'But I still remember to this day, the vision that I had when I wanted to create this piece.' A global upbringing with deep Indigenous roots Though deeply connected to her roots in Temagami, where she frequently visits extended family, Hampton spent much of her youth abroad. 'I am a member of Temagami First Nation. I am an Anishinaabe-quay Indigenous woman. And I also identify as a third-culture kid,' she said. 'A lot of my youth and adolescence, I actually grew up internationally. I went to middle school in Australia and high school in England, as well as a few other places in between.' Despite her early passion for fashion – sparked by runway shows on TV – Hampton didn't see herself reflected in the industry. 'Even at that young age, I only saw one skin type, one body type, and being a curvy Indigenous kid, I really didn't see myself in that space,' she said. 'So, it was a really great thing to be interested in and I love sewing. And I've always loved sewing. But I never really saw it as something that I could do as a career choice.' From art school to the runway After earning a degree in art studio and art history from the University of Toronto Mississauga, Hampton noticed a natural shift toward fashion. 'Everything I was creating for those art classes was all a conversation about the body and what you can put on the body to create a dialogue,' she said. 'So, it was almost a natural jump from there into the fashion industry.' She launched her eponymous line in 2016 at just 22 years old. Her designs quickly gained recognition, appearing at Fashion Art Toronto and Vancouver Fashion Week – with images from the latter featured in Vogue Magazine.

(Image Credit: @Cosplay) Celebrity endorsements and high-profile moments Her profile rose further in 2017 when Kim Kardashian posted a photo wearing her Fall/Winter collection. Since then, Hampton has dressed a growing list of high-profile figures, including Lizzo, Lily Gladstone, and most recently, Sandra Oh for her Order of Canada ceremony. 'It's really exciting because all these celebrities – whether we reached out to them or, in the case of Sandra Oh, her team reached out to us – are people dedicated to representing what my brand stands for,' she said. Inclusivity and indigenous representation in fashion Hampton's brand emphasizes inclusivity, mental health awareness, and Indigenous representation. 'My brand is highly focused on building community and creating space that I, as a kid, really wanted to feel included and celebrated in,' she said. 'I want to create that safe space.' She acknowledges significant progress in the fashion industry since she began. 'We really see these diverse and inclusive bodies taking up space in major celebrity moments, major runway moments,' she said. 'It's so wonderful that there's a focus on inclusive representation now, as well as Indigenous representation. It's just been kind of exploding within the fashion scene.'

(Lesley Hampton/Instagram) Inspiring the next generation For Hampton, this shift is vital for future generations. 'To have that increased level of representation is so crucial for that young kid – that young Indigenous kid, young BIPOC kid, or even young curvy kid who really wants to see themselves represented in these spaces because they are such beautiful, exciting spaces to be in.' Lesley Hampton @ Eatons Centre Indigenous fashion designer Lesley Hampton at the ᐋᓃᓐ aaniin. shop in the Toronto Eaton Centre where her designs were being showcased in November 2024. (Lesley Hampton/Instagram) Holt Renfrew pop-up and future ambitions Her current showcase at Holt Renfrew underscores her mission to make Indigenous fashion accessible. 'It's so important for customers and clients in the luxury space to understand that Indigenous fashion can be worn by everyone,' she said. 'People need to know they can celebrate our stories through fashion by wearing our designs and helping push our narratives forward.' Hampton's collection will remain at Holt Renfrew until July 4. Looking ahead, she hopes to expand her reach further – with ambitions to showcase at New York and London Fashion Weeks, bringing her inclusive vision to an even broader audience.
