Aaron Weber is a standup comedian based in Nashville, TN and is a regular performer at the world famous Grand Ole Opry. He made his debut in 2019 at the age of twenty-eight, making him the youngest standup comedian ever to step into the Opry circle. Later that year, he made his television debut on the Opry's Circle Network, hosting two episodes of Stand Up Nashville.
The Room to Improve hosts talks about his spats with homeowners, how prioritising his health in 2025 helped him lose 7 kilos and why he's turned down Dancing with the Stars numerous times but would love to be on The Traitors Here's one thing I certainly didn't expect Dermot Bannon to say: that when it comes to the way he lives his life and the way he treats people, Cilla Black has proved to be a major influence.
As Jamie is interviewed by psychologist Briony (Erin Doherty), we see him slowly reveal that he's not an innocent kid, but warped by misogyny and a twisted sense of entitlement. The episode was captivating in its acting, but it stayed with you: from Jamie's sudden switch from vulnerability to manipulation, to the moment the camera zooms in on Briony's face as she registers who Jamie really is. Horrifying.

We've built five quizzes to celebrate five BBC shows - but only those with the biggest football trivia brains can beat them all. So, is your knowledge the Strongest Link or is it more Pointless? With the exception of our Mastermind quiz, which has used past questions on the show, all these quizzes have been written by the BBC Sport team and are just inspired by the relevant BBC quiz.
Streaming platforms reigned supreme, with Netflix and Apple TV dominating our list with seven and five selections each. Genre-wise, we've got a bit of everything: period dramas ( The Gilded Age, Outrageous), superheroes ( Daredevil: Born Again), mysteries ( Ludwig, Poker Face, Dept. Q), political thrillers ( The Diplomats, Slow Horses), science fiction ( Andor, Severance, Alien: Earth), broody fantasy ( The Sandman), and even an unconventional nature documentary ( Underdogs).
Shady Sands is a place of promise, a renewal of humanity if they could only get their feet on solid ground. They've just found their balanceMaximus's father manages to unearth clean waterwhen a bomb is snuck into town and detonates, killing everyone except for Maximus. "We were just getting started," his mother tearfully says just before a radiant cloud glows right outside.
For Jujutsu Kaisen fans, Christmas Eve is a holy day of remembrance. If you're even loosely connected to the fandom, you've probably noticed it by now: the sudden return of best friends-turned-diametrically opposed soulmates, Geto Suguru and Satoru Gojo, to the timeline. Side-by-side edits. Manga screenshots. Subtle references that say everything without saying too much. The reason is simple and painful.
In the United States, it's the top-rated non-animated series HBO Max has acquired since its launch in 2020, and amongst the top five of all scripted debuts on the streaming service this year. The breakout TV series is spreading like flash frost across the nation. There's an entire TikTok cottage industry dedicated to the show (I bought my sister a shirt through it). The gay bar I occasionally work at won't stop playing "All The Things She Said" over the speakers.
Last Samurai Standing begins with a familiar premise. Desperate samurai dispossessed by the restoration of the emperor enter into a deadly game for a life-changing cash prize - all for the entertainment of anonymous elites. Unlike its inspirations Battle Royale and , however, Last Samurai Standing 's violence is chaotic, fast-paced, and kinetic, though it hides a careful choreography that makes the series a more electric proposition than its predecessors.
It was the year when Oasis finally gave us the reunion everyone wanted, 'that' couple from the Coldplay kiss cam felt the wrath of the social media morality police and the Musk/Trump bromance fell apart Meanwhile in Ireland, RTÉ radio gets a seismic shake-up, including Joe Duffy hanging up his headphones, Samantha Mumba is a sore loser - and Traitors Ireland gets the whole country talking.
A one-off Christmas special must have the following traditional ingredients to be entitled to the name. First and most vitally, it must have a grumpy character to soften over the hour. (And it must be an hour 75 minutes, tops. Anything longer and we're out of letting-the-children-stay-up-and-watch-as-a-treat territory and that disqualifies it as a contender. Yes it's a hangover from the days when television was broadcast at fixed points, instead of thrown into the digital ragbag to be pulled out at any time, but what is tradition if not such harkings-back? Come on).
Starring Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams as Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander, two rival ice hockey players who have a passionate years-long secret fling, the show is based on Rachel Reid's Game Changers novels. The show takes its name from the second of Reid's books, which focuses on Rozanov and Hollander as they start their steamy affair. Their story is continued in The Long Game, the last of Reid's six-book series.
Mr Brownlow's house is the archetype for a place that is safe, which I think is what everybody wants. It had a lasting impression on me and I have probably tried to make a Mr Brownlow's house in my own life somewhere to run back to. I like to watch that every Christmas and force the children and grandchildren to watch too.
The first time we meet Carol, she's in a Dallas Barnes & Noble reading from Bloodsongs of Wycaro, the fourth book in her wildly popular Wycaro series, which follows the adventures of the sand pirate Lucasia and the rogue who has captured her heart. The members of her audience technically aren't the living dead, but they all want a piece of the author. Carol, in turn, is barely able to mask her disdain even as she enjoys the spoils of their adoration.
For a while, Erin Doherty ignored Stephen Graham's calls. Not deliberately, she stresses with a laugh. I'm just really bad at my phone. I'm such a technophobe, and he knew that, she says. They had made the Disney+ show A Thousand Blows together, in which Doherty plays an East End crime boss in Victorian London, and Graham had talked about an idea he wanted to dramatise, about a teenage boy who is catastrophically radicalised by online misogyny.
The original Enterprise crew is nearly complete. When Strange New Worlds drops its final season in 2027, the classic crew will be complete. In a just-confirmed press release, Paramount+ has revealed that the characters of Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy and Hikaru Sulu, originated by DeForest Kelley and George Takei in Star Trek: The Original Series, will appear in the very last episode of Strange New Worlds Season 5.
When I received this assignment, my goal was to create a photo that not only mirrored the show's dystopian surrealness but also captured the intricate relationship triangle between Britt Lower, Adam Scott and Dichen Lachman's characters. Initially, it took a little time for everyone on set to see my vision, but once I shared a test image, everyone understood and was excited to collaborate. The entire shoot lasted around eight minutes, but that brief window was all we needed.
