Netflix has rolled out the trailer to Tires, the comedy series featuring stand-up and actor Shane Gillis.

The comedian famously hosted Saturday Night Live this season after being fired from the show before he even appeared on in it in 2019 over some offensive jokes.

Here he plays Shane, the screw-up employee of his cousin Will's failing auto repair chain. Steven Gerben plays the heir to the Valley Forge Automotive Center, who in the trailer is constantly exasperated with Shane's antics, which include day drinking on the job, hanging up on customers, and befouling the customer restroom.

However, for all his goofing off, by the trailer's end, Shane does his best to rescue the company -- which, on-brand, includes a bikini car wash fundraiser.

Co-created by Gerben and Gillis, the show that also stars Chris O’Connor, Kilah Fox, and Stavros Halkias, premieres May 23 on Netflix.

James Gunn is making good on his promise to interlace the projects under his umbrella as co-CEO of DC Films.

Fighter and notorious gym rat Grillo then joked of the show's star, "@Johncena better start lifting weights. oh wait."

Two NCIS favorites are getting their own spinoff. Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo, who respectively played Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David on the series, took to social media to announce "Tiva," as the fans dubbed the couple, will be back in Paramount+'s NCIS: Tony & Ziva.

"It makes it really easy because the fans will know exactly what the show is. It's about Tony and Ziva in Europe," de Pablo joked.

Weatherly, who bowed out of NCIS in season 13, added that the show will shoot in Europe over the summer. 

According to the streaming service, the show finds the couple raising their daughter Tali in Paris, but the NCIS veterans are forced to go on the run when Tony's company is attacked.

"I expect intrigue, romance, a background of Europe, impossible situations that will make our life very complicated but somehow a little something about love," said the actress. Her character left the show in season 11, and was once rumored to have been killed in a bombing -- but popped back up in season 16.

In a statement from the streamer, the pair, who will executive produce the show with John McNamara said, "We've been talking about this story for many years, and now with John McNamara at the helm, we are ready."

The actors promised "an action-packed roller coaster fueled by love, danger, tears and laughter," and also thanked the fans "who supported the 'TIVA' movement for years."

They added, "To this day, they say hello in grocery stores and on the street to tell us how much these characters mean to them and ask what Tony and Ziva are up to now. This is for you!"

While rumors persisted that The Conners' sixth season would be its last, the Roseanne reboot will get a proper goodbye to fans with a shortened seventh season.

"You've been part of this family for years," a title card reads in a video just posted by ABC, as flashbacks from the original Roseanne play, folding into clips from The Conners, which debuted in 2018 after Roseanne Barr was fired from her own self-titled reboot.

"After 6 seasons, be there to say goodbye!" the video continues, before another title card reads, "The Conners: The Farewell Season."

The final installment will be a shortened 10-episode swan song for the sunsetting show, Deadline reports.

According to the trade, the cast shot a special segment designed as a capper for the show in case season 6's season finale on May 22 turned out to be a series finale, but that ending will no longer air.

Ahead of NBC's two-hour on-air celebration on Tuesday, May 14, Jimmy Fallon and the leader of his house band, The Roots' Tariq "Black Thought" Trotter, looked back at 10 years of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon at a special celebration.

On Thursday evening, June 9, at the Roxy Cinema in New York City, Jimmy and Tariq screened a highlight reel of the forthcoming anniversary show and participated in a Q&A, with The Roots' head emcee moderating.

One of the questions Jimmy fielded was how he sees The Tonight Show in another decade, to which he joked the host will be an AI-generated version of him.

The festivities continued at an after-party at the city's Oyster Bar, which has incidentally hosted after-parties for Fallon's pre-Tonight Show gig, Saturday Night Live.

At a screening event on Thursday night, Red, White & Royal Blue novelist Casey McQuiston and the hit Prime Video film adaptation's writer and director, Matthew López, revealed that a sequel is on the way.

According to video of the event moderated by Entertainment Weekly's Gerrad Hall, the second López confirmed the news, a screen behind the assembled cast and filmmakers changed to Prime Video's teaser image — which reads, "Fancy another slice?" — and the audience went wild.

The film followed fiery first son of the United States, Alex Claremont-Diaz (Taylor Zakhar Perez), and buttoned-up British prince Henry (Nicholas Galitzine) as they fall into an enemies-to-lovers romance that threatens to upend their prestigious families’ carefully curated public image.

During the same post-screening Q&A, the pair also revealed the original cast, including Galitzine and Perez, will return for the follow-up.

McQuiston, on whose 2019 bestseller the movie is based, will be co-writing the sequel's screenplay with López; a release date was not revealed.

On May 12 at 10 p.m. ET, ABC airs TIME100: The World's Most Influential People, filmed at the publication's star-studded annual gala on April 25. Hosted by Taraji P. Henson, it includes appearances by many of the 100 honorees, plus musical performances by Dua Lipa and Fantasia Barrino. At the gala, Henson told ABC Audio she's been told she's personally influenced people by "speaking her truth."

"I'm honored. I'm amazed, and I'm grateful for that," Henson told ABC Audio. "You know, when my celebrity started to rise, I didn't want to fumble the ball because I know it's a blessing to be in this position. And I made a pact with God, and I was like, 'I'm going to share this gift with the world, but not just on the screen ... I want to go out and try to bless others.' So that's what I try to do, because this thing called art is bigger than me."

Another of this year's 100 honorees, Oscar nominee Colman Domingo, told ABC Audio he's very aware that he's an influence on people — young people especially, including his former theater students.

"I know they're watching ... what I say, how I talk about being an artist, how I talk about the work," he said. "I actually am very conscious that people are listening, so I know the microphone and the platform that I have."

TIME CEO Jessica Sibley says the 100 most influential people were chosen for their "impact" and also whether or not it was "their year."  

Also during the event, you'll see Michael J. Fox receive the Impact Award, given to "global leaders who have done extraordinary work to move their industries forward over the course of their careers."

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes swings into theaters this weekend. The 10th film in the sci-fi franchise is set 300 years after the events of 2017's War of the Planet of the Apes.

This time around, Wes Ball takes the reins as director from the previous trilogy's helmer Matt Reeves, and Ball tells ABC Audio Kingdom is more than your usual summer movie fare.

"We started writing this thing right as COVID hit, right? And so we were thinking about that a lot. And so we kept talking about treating knowledge like a virus," Ball says. "How you can catch it, you can spread it ... It can change you for better or worse, you know what I mean?"

He adds, "Yeah, it's a lot of stuff to chew on, I think, in the movie."

Owen Teague stars as the main chimp Noa, with Freya Allen playing a mysterious human called Nova. Allen describes what she was looking at on set while all the ape actors were in their motion capture outfits. "A big stick coming out the head, the camera on it, a lot of dots and nipples," she recalls.

Allen explains that last one a bit more, "Basically they had very tight suits on, and they had all these things on them which had, you know, circle and then a ball in there and it looked like nipples."

Teague says of the mocap get-up, "I mean I think the first day when you're aping for the first time, it can feel a bit silly, but ... we were all so into it and so committed ... We all just bought into it instantly."

Prime Video revealed the first looks at its new animated series Batman: Caped Crusader on Thursday, May 9.

The Warner Bros. Animation project was produced by The Batman's director Matt Reeves, Star Wars: Episode VII filmmaker J.J. Abrams and Bruce Timm, one of the legends behind the beloved and Emmy-winning Batman: The Animated Series.

Along with the 10-episode series' release date of August 1, Prime Video has dropped teases of the looks of the show's cast of characters, of course including Batman/Bruce Wayne, as well as Selina Kyle/Catwoman, Dr. Harleen Quinzel/Harley Quinn, Clayface and Commissioner Gordon.

The streaming service also debuted a tease: "Welcome to Gotham City, where the corrupt outnumber the good, criminals run rampant and law-abiding citizens live in a constant state of fear," it begins. "Forged in the fire of tragedy, wealthy socialite Bruce Wayne becomes something both more and less than human -- the BATMAN. His one-man crusade for justice attracts unexpected allies within the GCPD and City Hall, but his heroic actions spawn deadly, unforeseen ramifications."

Netflix's recent The Greatest Roast of All Time, the all-star send-up of football legend Tom Brady, was a hit for the streaming service, notwithstanding some of the jokes about the controversy having to do with Kim Kardashian's appearance.

When the reality star and entrepreneur was first called to the podium Sunday, May 5, to take her shots at the star she was once rumored to be dating, Kim was met with boos from the crowd loud enough for host Kevin Hart to intervene.

After the live, three-hour presentation, however, the boos were silenced in post-production. To The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix's Vice President of Comedy Content Robbie Praw insisted Kim didn't demand the change.

"Post edits are standard practice for comedy specials and happen in live broadcasts, whether that's subtitles, adding things or removing things that we can't do when it's streaming live," Praw said, adding, "It's part of, quite frankly, the fun of watching it live to not miss those things."

He added, "But I will just say this, in addition to that, that no talent were [sic] consulted as part of that."

Praw also revealed that despite some scathing comedic attacks — Praw called Nikki Glaser's scorching set "exceptional," in fact — Brady was a good sport.

He called the reaction from Brady's camp after the event "positive," adding, "It was very clear that it was a very special night, both in the football world and in the comedy world, and the mood after the show was pretty jubilant."

The replay of the Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady is now available for streaming — even if the boos are not.
