Jimmy Carr hosting ‘Am I The A**hole?’ gameshow based on famous subreddit
Jimmy Carr is hosting an "Am I The A**hole?" Comedy Central reddit gameshow based on the subreddit
The notorious “Am I The Asshole?” subreddit is being turned into a gameshow for Comedy Central UK hosted by LOL: Last One Laughing UK’s Jimmy Carr. Jimmy Carr’s Am I The Asshole? will invite members of the public to come before the host and a panel of two other comedians to ask controversial questions. These questions will cover everything from jaw-dropping relationship disputes to the pettiest of family squabbles and stories of behaviors that are guaranteed to split opinion. The “Am I The Asshole?” sub-reddit is famous worldwide and uses the acronym AITA. The BBC mined Reddit in the past for its hit comedy Am I Being Unreasonable?, which is also a famous subreddit. Jimmy Carr’s Am I The Asshole? is being produced by STV Studios-owned Tuesday’s Child. The series will be filmed in late spring and is due to air later this year on Comedy Central UK. Carr said: “There are an impressive number of assholes in our country and they’re finally getting the recognition they deserve on national

9pm, Sky AtlanticAnybody else hear a clicking noise? Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey’s hit mushroom zombie drama is back for a second season. It starts with a flashback scene, signalling major trouble ahead, but, in the present, Joel (Pascal) and Ellie (Ramsey) have been settled in a thriving community in Wyoming for the past five years. Joel’s most pressing problem now is that he feels emotionally estranged from 19-year-old Ellie (Ramsey) – who hasn’t told anyone about her immunity to the virus. Catherine O’Hara and Kaitlyn Dever are top additions to the cast, and though the opener begins slowly, it inevitably has an action-packed payoff involving Clickers – with the threat of new types of monsters to come.

Doctor Who’s future looks bleak as RTD signals post-series 15 hiatus
"There might be a pause, and during that pause, the viewers of Newsround now will grow up."
Rumours have been swirling in recent months about the future of Doctor Who beyond the upcoming Series 15. From speculation about the Disney+ deal falling through, to talk of Ncuti Gatwa quitting, and questions around Russell T Davies’ own future with the show. Now, in a new interview with BBC Newsround, Davies has strongly indicated that a “pause” is on the cards.
The segment began with Ncuti Gatwa and new companion Verada Sethu being asked if there was “any news about Series 3”. Gatwa, clearly cautious, responded, “I don’t know anything.”
Then the interview cuts to Davies, and his answer is far more illuminating. Up to now, Davies had maintained that no decisions about the future would be made until Series 15 had concluded. But now, even that cautious optimism seems to have faded.
Davies stated:
“I kind of know that the Doctor’s reached the status of like Robin Hood. Sometimes there might be a pause, and during that pause, the viewers of Newsround now will grow up a fe

9pm, Sky MaxSeason four of the hit comedy arrives, and Deborah (Jean Smart) has the late-night hosting gig with Ava (Hannah Einbinder) as her head writer. Except it didn’t happen that easily – Ava had to use blackmail. Can they get the job done? With Deborah calling Ava the C-word “in that angry boomer way” and stitching her up by posting her “dirty panties” to new colleagues, that’s not likely. It’s all the better for our entertainment, though, and we’re rooting for them to pull this off. Hollie Richardson
US original’s creator Lorne Michaels will be executive producer of show that is due to premiere in 2026
cross-posted from: https://feddit.uk/post/27269746
Over the last 50 years, Saturday Night Live has become a cornerstone of US television and a conveyor belt for new comedy talent, attracting A-list cameos and launching careers. British TV executives are now hoping it can bring some of that lustre across the Atlantic in a deal to bring the show to the UK for the first time.
After numerous failed attempts to recreate the late-night comedy format that has proved so successful in the US, Sky has announced it is making a British version of the show to premiere next year. Crucially, the show’s original creator and champion, Lorne Michaels, will be an executive producer.
The broadcaster is already promising a “star-studded lineup of hosts”, adding that it will be filmed in London. It is also promising to stay true to the US show’s “live, fast-paced style” – which has included comedy sketches, a roster of comic presenters and musical guests – with a cast list of “the funni

9pm, BBC OneAfter serving time for the murder of his best friend, Ray, Daniel Brennan (Matthew Gurney) is having his pre-release interview. The officer is firing questions but there is silence – Daniel is deaf, and an interpreter hasn’t been booked. This means the officials quickly lose track of him, as he leaves prison to reunite with his estranged daughter Carly (Lara Peake) and embark on a mission of revenge and redemption. Meanwhile, Ray’s wife Christine (Anne-Marie Duff) is keeping Daniel’s release from daughter Miri (Rose Ayling-Ellis) and new boyfriend Stephen (Eddie Marsan).
