Guy Fieri was introduced to viewers through 'Next Food Network Star' in 2006, transitioning from a successful restaurateur to a television icon. He has hosted shows like 'Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives' and 'Guys Grocery Games.'

Probably the threesome was the most standout moment. I remember being like, 'Oh, my mom's going to call me after this one.' The scene was teased in racy promotional ads and immediately sparked protests, with the Parents Television Council expressing concerns about the content.

I think everybody understood that it was the last season of the show. If it isn't, then I've completely blown it.

To see the 12th series of Home of the Year flutter on to our screens is sort of reassuring. Television has its seasons - or used to - and the return of the RTÉ favourite is a constant in a churning world.

Although the works of Gilbert and Sullivan have gained a reputation for being chummy, collegiate and a little pompous, For He is an Englishman is in fact a bitingly satirical piece of faux-patriotism. Although it sounds like something to be bellowed by tipsy Last Night of the Proms poshos, the song speaks to the kind of blind nationalism that bases exceptionalism purely on the location of one's birth.

Fans of "The Great British Bake Off" have come to know and love Prue Leith, but it appears her run is coming to an end. In an announcement shared on social media, Leith (or should we say Dame Prue Leith), revealed that she will be stepping down as one of the two main hosts of "The Great British Bake Off," a position she shared for nine of the show's 15 seasons with Paul Hollywood.

LOS ANGELES -- The NAACP has announced its list of "57th NAACP Image Awards" nominees.

Every epic romance needs its stage, but the Canadian phenomenon Heated Rivalry built an entire global arena. The television series, which has quickly moved from queer TikTok to just about everywhere beyond and spawned a thousand "meeting at the cottage" memes in the process, follows rival hockey stars Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov as they navigate a narrative that's part coming-of-age saga, part fever dream in which Toronto masquerades as Manhattan, Hamilton doubles for Russia.

"Well, luckily it does have a future, so I can confirm that Black Mirror will return, just in time for reality to catch up with it," Brooker said.

LOS ANGELES -- The Directors Guild of America (DGA) has announced television and film nominees for the 78th Annual DGA Awards, with nominees such as "The Bear," "Andor" and "Dying for Sex" marking another tough year of competition. DGA President Christopher Nolan remarked, "On behalf of the entire Guild community, I extend my congratulations to these directors on this achievement, and we look forward to celebrating your work at the DGA Awards."

The Academy pulled a complete one-eighty last year. They honored an incredibly unsexy film as the 2024 Best Picture winner (Oppenheimer), only to award a sex-work comedy-drama (Anora) in 2025 that featured multiple scenes of Best Actress winner Mikey Madison working it for the camera. I can't tell you what changed in between each Oscars ceremony, but I certainly wouldn't mind if 2026 continued to rock these awards presentations by awarding Michael B. Jordan for getting it on with a vampire in Sinners.

Since she reëmerged as a star in the 2024 film " The Substance," Demi Moore has been very busy. She has a major role in the current season of Taylor Sheridan's " Landman" series, and she has two highly anticipated films coming out this year: a science-fiction film directed by Boots Riley, and "Strange Arrivals," alongside Colman Domingo, about a couple who claimed to have been abducted by aliens.

To succeed in the long term, any business needs to refresh itself continually with new talent and new ideas. The Food Network is no exception. Unfortunately, bringing in new talent means that some familiar favorites end up getting squeezed out or simply move on to other ventures. Of course, the shoe is often on the other foot as well. Some chefs and hosts might move on for reasons of their own.

When Disney announced a TV show all about Cassian Andor from I remember barely caring at all. "Cool, I guess that dude from gets a show, too." Then I watched Season 1 in 2022 and was completely enthralled by its depiction of rebellion and fascism. This year's season two was even better, featuring more moments than I can count that made me sit up in my chair, hold my breath, and wait for the next scene or piece of dialogue

Storylines about abortion and conversations about it showed up on television 65 times this year, on prestigious dramas like The Pitt and Call the Midwife, on reality shows such as W.A.G.s to Riches and Love is Blind and on lowbrow animated comedies like Family Guy and South Park. That's about the same as last year. In 2024, TV shows featured 66 such plotlines.

The plucky young heroes of Hawkins, Indiana, have done many extraordinary things. One thing they can't do in Stranger Things 5 (Netflix, episodes 1-4 now streaming), though, is halt the hands of time.

The eight-episode series, titled "The Hunt" (Traqués in French), had been set to premiere on Apple TV next Wednesday, December 3, with a two-episode launch followed by weekly installments through the end of the month. But then last week, Apple quietly removed all the trailers, listings, and other promotional materials for the show from its app and website without explanation.

Sarah Paulson is getting her own star on The Hollywood Walk of Fame and like pretty much everyone on social media is saying, it's about damn time! The American Horror Story actress, 50, will be honoured in a ceremony on Tuesday 2 December, becoming the 2,829th star on the legendary Los Angeles walk. A star of stage and screen, Paulson is being recognised in the television category. The other categories are motion pictures, recording, radio, live performances and sports entertainment.

At first, Padilla was overjoyed to see her father (played by the night's host, Glen Powell, who threw himself into every sketch) smiling and waving, looking young again. But it wasn't long before things went wrong, as the next photo animation found Padilla's mother (Veronika Slowikowska) smoking a hot-dog-like a cigarette while Powell tried to roast Sadie, the family dog (which, incidentally, didn't have a head) on the grill.

Is Kim Kardashian's legal drama All's Fair really the worst TV show of all time? What are the best (and worst) vegan cheeses? And 20 years after they first hit the shelves, five-toed shoes are apparently having a big fashion moment. But what is it like to wear them in public? As the year draws to a close, Guardian Live invites you to a special event with columnist Tim Dowling, film and TV writer Stuart Heritage, and cook and author Meera Sodha.

There's a reason legendary former Liverpool manager Bill Shankly once proclaimed football was 'the people's game' - and that's because it belongs to the fans. Today's supporters spend enormous amounts of their hard-earned money buying season tickets, and shirts for their children, and on travelling up and down the country to support their team. That's why, when I was asked to give my views on what I would change to improve football today, I have not tried to reinvent anything.

The family of Quentin Willson, television presenter and producer, motoring journalist, author, and campaigner, wish to announce that he passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on Saturday 8th November, following a short battle with lung cancer. He was 68. A true national treasure, Quentin brought the joy of motoring, from combustion to electric, into our living rooms. He helped shape the original Top Gear as one of its first hosts, working alongside Jeremy Clarkson and the team who took the pioneering show global.

Yes, the faux documentary format is overdone, and where "Stumble" hits wrong notes, it's because of its chosen format. We don't need to blur out dolls because the fictional toymaker doesn't give permission, or pretend like Courteney's own college cheer coach is refusing to participate in the show because of ill will between them. That's just manufactured silliness, and it reads as such.
