The finale of Stephen Colbert’s beloved late-night show wasn’t a cliffhanger, but a blockbuster, as Paul McCartney stopped by The Ed Sullivan Theater for an interview.

In doing so, the Beatles great completed the full circle. It was here, in the same glorious New York City building back on Feb. 9, 1964, when the legendary British band made their historic first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show. When the screaming had subsided, the world had changed. The Fab Four’s U.S. TV debut shook America’s teenage population, gathering an estimated 73 million viewers, a record for its time and a wake-up call for pop culture.  

McCartney, 83, is perhaps the most famous living pop star on earth. And the two-time Rock And Roll Hall of Fame inductee can still command screams wherever he goes, as was evident on his final appearance Thursday night, May 21 on The Late Show. How often does that still happen, Colbert asked his famous guest. “Often,” was the response. True story. Check out the proof below.

Colbert’s final broadcast of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert draws curtains on an 11-year run. CBS announced the cancelation in July 2025, citing financial losses. Many observers, however, aren’t buying it, with figures like Senator Elizabeth Warren claiming the axing was political censorship, coming just days after Colbert publicly criticized CBS’s parent company, Paramount, over its $16 million legal settlement with Trump, a moment when Paramount was on the brink of a merger deal that U.S. authorities could block.

“We’ve had so much fun in this theater, so many great segments,” Colbert remarked in his last, opening monologue. The gags, they flowed as usual. Once backstage, Elvis Presley used the bathroom and didn’t die, Colbert insisted. And those regular dry observations of current affairs and Trump’s administration, they were barbed, as expected.

Special occasions require special guests, and this final episode was no different as Bryan Cranston, Paul Rudd, Tim Meadows and others popped up for fun cameos, while an extraordinary line-up of special guest questioners did their bit, including Billy Crystal, “Weird Al” Yankovic, Josh Brolin, Martha Stewart, Mark Hamill, Ben Stiller, James Taylor and Robert De Niro.

At the top, Colbert reminded the audience that, despite the show disappearing from the airwaves, “we were lucky enough to be here for the last 11 years. You can’t take this for granted.” Watch his final monologue, the McCartney interview and his show-ending performance of “Jump Up/Hello Goodbye” with Elvis Costello and Jon Batiste below.

With the sanctioned Michael biopic racking up more than $600 million in global box office and sending the late King of Pop’s catalog surging up the charts, Netflix announced its own Michael Jackson project on Wednesday (May 20), the three-part documentary series Michael Jackson: The Verdict.

The series, which will premiere on June 3, looks at Jackson’s 2005 criminal trial on child molestation charges involving a teenage boy. “In 2003, Michael Jackson — arguably the most famous and beloved figure in pop culture of all time — was charged with multiple counts of child molestation, setting off a media firestorm and courtroom proceedings that captivated millions,” reads a description from the streamer. “His acquittal on all counts only further stoked public interest in the larger-than-life celebrity at the center of the trial, interest that continues to persist long after Jackson’s death in 2009.”

Jackson was charged with molesting 13-year-old cancer patient Gavin Arvizo at his Neverland Ranch estate in the trial, which came more than a decade after Jackson was first accused of child abuse in 1993; in the latter, Jackson also denied the allegations and settled with the accuser for a reported $23 million in a civil lawsuit. During the 2005 trial, the defense called a number of celebrity witnesses, including former child actor Macaulay Culkin, Chris Tucker, Jay Leno and George Lopez, to testify on Jackson’s behalf before the jury delivered a not-guilty verdict on June 13, 2005.

In revisiting the trial, The Verdict will focus on key players in the saga, including new interviews with jurors, eyewitnesses, media figures, accusers and the defenders who were in the courtroom, dissecting the case against Jackson from the perspectives of both the prosecution and the defense. Director Nick Green and executive producer Fiona Stourton said in a statement that 20 years after the trial in which Jackson — who vehemently denied the charges — was found not guilty, the controversy over the courtroom drama is still with us.

“No cameras were allowed in court, and so the public’s view of the facts at the time were filtered by commentators and presented piecemeal. It was time to take a forensic look at the trial as a whole,” they said. “Anyone interested in the Michael Jackson story should feel this documentary gives them a window into what was largely a closed event and a chance to feel closer to what happened.”

The trailer for the series opens with footage of L.A. police descending on Jackson’s Neverland home, with investigators walking through the residence asking if there are any “secret rooms.” It includes the infamous wide-eyed mugshot taken of Jackson following his arrest, testimonials from those who were there about listening to the accuser’s disturbing claims and footage of his die-hard fans supporting the singer outside the courtroom and celebrating the acquittal.

Watch the trailer for Michael Jackson: The Verdict below.

Last Friday is really happening.

We’ve covered the rumors over the last couple of years, like when Ice Cube told Flavor Flav that the fourth installment of the beloved film franchise “finally got some traction with Warner Bros.” back in 2024 and when Mike Epps told The Breakfast Club last year that he had recently gotten word that a deal was in place. Now it looks like the ink is dry and it’s finally happening.

Cube and Epps sat down with Entertainment Tonight to confirm the news and exclusively told the outlet that Last Friday will deal with the gentrification of their neighborhood. And when asked if Chris Tucker would return as Smokey, the role that made him a star, the pair seemed optimistic.

“We’re talking to him and he wants to come back,” Epps said, with Cube adding, “He’s one of the best. I think he’s going to do it.”

Cube previously told Cam Newton about a rejected script idea where Craig and Day-Day were owners of a dispensary who suddenly found themselves in jail. “I wrote a script where Craig and Day-Day, they had a dispensary. They had a flash mob in there and they caught one of the kids and beat his little a–, and they end up going to jail,” he began. “So they in jail duckin’ Deebo, they in jail duckin’ Damon, they in jail duckin’ the Joker brothers. And then they get into a rehab — and I was trying to get Chris [Tucker] back — Smokey was running the rehab, but it was a bullsh– rehab where he was taking everybody’s weed and smoking it in the basement.”

However, studio executives weren’t too fond of the idea and were worried about jail not being funny. “They were like, ‘Jail’s not funny, it’s too much time in jail. How can you make jail funny?’ And I’m like, ‘Man, y’all don’t know what the f— y’all talking about,’” he said. “Then they come out with Orange Is the New Black, Let’s Go to Prison — all these movies about that. And I’m like, ‘See, more Hollywood execs don’t know what the f— they talking about.’”

Shooting is set to start later this year, but in the meantime, you can check out The Everyday’s Friday: Lyrics, Lougin’ and Laughing show in Long Beach, California, on July 17 (a Friday, of course) to celebrate Friday’s 30th anniversary.

You can watch the clip below.

With a line like this coming out of Will Ferrell and Paul McCartney‘s mouths, the Saturday Night Live cast almost didn’t stand a chance.

On Saturday night (May 16), SNL musical guest McCartney put his comedic timing to the test starring as an auto mechanic alongside body shop co-workers Will Ferrell and Marcello Hernández in the live sketch “Mechanics.” The three are a trio of guys telling a primed to be taken advantage of couple (Mikey Day, Ashley Padilla) what’s allegedly wrong with their car during what was supposed to just be a routine oil change.

“And now… WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TALKING TO A MECHANIC,” an opening slate says onscreen ahead of Ferrell leading the way, speaking words that pass right through the blank stares of Day and Padilla — some nonsense that somehow involves a “dong rod gasket” that’s Swiss cheese, Apple Bottom jeans with the boots with the fur (that’s a Flo Rida reference, folks) and a shot “sprog box.”

Hernández hops in with support here, scratching oil off his hands on his backside before offering a handshake, a frantic description of what he saw under the hood en español, and awfully sexual sounds that are supposedly similar to the concerning noises he heard the car emit.

They recommend getting it fixed immediately and coming back every six days. Or just replacing all the parts. “Your oil is fine,” Ferrell assures them. “We keep the oil. We rebuild everything around it.”

When the cost of this all sounds a bit much, chief mechanic Nigel (McCartney) walks in to confirm the diagnosis and give them a payment plan option.

“Listen, your tipsy-whipsies are all dangly-doodly, and the spriggly-wiggly’s gone crumpet,” McCartney says, letting loose a high-pitched squeal and pointing out, “Plus, the steering wheel’s on the wrong bloody side.”

The room mostly keeps a straight face up until Ferrell and McCartney each calmly explain the one way out of this unexpected debt: “You can pay in ass.”

Watch SNL‘s “Mechanics” to see how it all plays out below. McCartney also appeared in Ferrell’s monologue and performed three songs on Saturday during his fifth time as musical guest on the late-night sketch comedy show.

After two weeks trailing The Devil Wears Prada 2, the Michael Jackson biopic Michael reclaimed the No. 1 spot at the North American box office with $26.1 million in ticket sales, according to studio estimates Sunday (May 17).

The Lionsgate movie is in rarefied territory, having brought in $703.9 million worldwide and counting. It still has a way to go to surpass the current reigning champion of musical biopics: Bohemian Rhapsody. The Queen movie grossed over $910.8 million worldwide.

There were also several newcomers in the mix this weekend, including the relationship horror movie Obsession, the Guy Ritchie action pic In the Grey and the revenge saga Is God Is, but the holdovers continued to draw the largest crowds. The power dynamics are poised to shift when Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu hits theaters next weekend.

Disney and 20th Century Studios’ The Devil Wears Prada 2 took second place in its third weekend with $18 million, bringing its domestic total to $175.9 million and worldwide earnings to $546.2 million.

Obsession topped the newcomers, exceeding expectations with an estimated $16.1 million from 2,615 theaters. YouTube breakout Curry Barker wrote and directed the thriller in which a hopeless romantic gets more than he bargained for when his crush returns his affections. The film received positive reviews from both critics (94% on Rotten Tomatoes) and audiences (A- CinemaScore). Perhaps more notable is that Barker made the film for $750,000. Focus Features acquired it out of the Toronto International Film Festival last fall for around $15 million.

Lisa Bunnell, president of domestic distribution for Focus Features, attributed some of Obsession’s success to audiences craving fresh, original voices at the movies. It’s also getting an infusion by word-of-mouth, with younger audiences making plans to go back with friends. Horror movies don’t often get CinemaScores in the A- range, but Obsession is in good company with another recent hit: Weapons.

“I’m expecting a really strong holdover,” Bunnell said.

Fourth place at the box office this weekend went to Mortal Kombat II, which fell 65% in its second weekend to $13.4 million in domestic ticket sales. Globally, it has made $101.2 million from 80 markets.

Amazon MGM Studios had three movies in the top 10, including The Sheep Detectives in fifth place, Project Hail Mary in seventh place and Is God Is rounding out the top 10.

The Sheep Detectives enjoyed a slim 33% drop from its first weekend, taking in an additional $10.2 million and bringing its running total to $30.5 million. Project Hail Mary, which is now available to rent or buy at home, brought in another $3.4 million in its ninth weekend in theaters. Is God Is, Aleshea Harris’s adaptation of her Obie-winning play about twin sisters (Kara Young and Mallori Johnson) on a quest to find and kill their abusive father made $2.2 million in its first weekend in theaters. It has a 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Meanwhile, the action caper In the Grey, released by Black Bear, made $3 million from 2,018 locations. Henry Cavill, Jake Gyllenhaal and Eiza González star in the film about a team of elite operatives on an impossible mission. It currently carries a 44% on Rotten Tomatoes and a B CinemaScore.

There were also several high-profile re-releases in theaters this weekend, including Top Gun, which made $3.1 million, and Shrek, which earned $1.3 million.

Paul Dergarabedian, head of marketplace trends for Comscore, noted that Prada, Michael and Top Gun all making the top 10 show “nostalgia is on full display.”

“What’s old is new again and audiences clearly love it,” he said.
