00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:15.759
Callaroga, Shark Media, Hi,
and welcome to Entertainment Daily, a short

2
00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:21.960
roundup of the top entertainment stories in
today's news. Comedy Central is reaching back

3
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:25.879
to the past to keep its long
running show The Daily Show going in the

4
00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:31.519
present. This from Variety. After
scuttling a month's long search for a new

5
00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:36.479
host, the Paramount Global Network said
it has enlisted John Stewart, who presided

6
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:40.240
over the late night's mainstay most Popular
era, to serve as its host on

7
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:44.719
Monday nights throughout the twenty twenty four
election cycle and to run the program.

8
00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:49.200
He is expected to play an oversight
role at Daily that could extend through twenty

9
00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:53.520
twenty five, and will start his
on air duties February twelfth. Various Daily

10
00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:58.119
Show correspondents will host the program Tuesday
through Thursday nights, and Jen Flanns,

11
00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:02.399
the current executive producer, will go
continue her duties on the show. John

12
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:04.879
Stewart is the voice of our generation
and we are honored to have him return

13
00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:10.239
to Comedy Central's The Daily Show to
help us make sense of this insanity and

14
00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:14.200
division royaling the country as we enter
the election season, said Chris McCarthy,

15
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:19.599
Presidency of Showtime. MTV entertainment.
In our age of staggering hypocrisy and performative

16
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:23.040
politics, John is the perfect person
to puncture the empty rhetoric and provide much

17
00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:27.519
needed clarity with his brilliant wit.
Stuart made his own announcement on X after

18
00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:32.040
the news broke, saying he's decided
to enter the transfer portal for my last

19
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:36.519
year of eligibility. Stuart is the
persona most closely identified with Daily, and

20
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:38.519
turned it from Comedy Central's bid to
be a part of the late night landscape

21
00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:44.159
into a cultural institution that became the
touchstone for much of TV's younger crowd.

22
00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:47.719
Since his exit in twenty fifteen,
Stuart has tended to other projects. He

23
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:52.280
has been an executive producer of CBS's
Late Show with Stephen Colbert and led a

24
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:57.599
weekly fora into topical humor on Apple's
streaming service, a show called The Problem

25
00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:00.400
with John Stewart that did not gain
as much as his tenure on Daily.

26
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:05.319
Comedy Center has been under intense scrutiny
over the past year as it tested out

27
00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:08.919
a wide range of potential hosts,
including Leslie Jones, Cal Penn, Sarah

28
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:13.879
Silverman, and the abrupt departure of
Trevor Noah at the end of twenty twenty

29
00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:16.840
two. Executives have been determined to
keep the program a signature series for both

30
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:23.960
the network and his parent Paramount Global, particularly in an election year. Graphic

31
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:28.159
AI images of Taylor Swift are sweeping
the Internet, showing the singer in a

32
00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:32.080
series of explicit ads themed around the
Kansas City Chiefs in the latest example of

33
00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:38.159
the disturbing rise in deep fake porn. This from dailymail dot com. They

34
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:42.400
are hosted on celeb Ghard, one
of the many deep fake porn websites and

35
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:46.439
existence that continue to outrun cybercrime investigators. Swift has been a regular at Chiefs

36
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:51.439
Games over the last six months to
support her boyfriend, star player Travis Kelsey.

37
00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:54.000
The images are the latest to be
hosted by celeb g Hard, which

38
00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:58.479
was previously wrapped up in a string
of indecent scandals. In twenty seventeen,

39
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:01.599
the website was sued by celebrities for
posting explicit images that had been hacked from

40
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:07.400
their phones and iCloud accounts. The
abhorrent sites hired in plain sight, seemingly

41
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:14.159
cloaked by proxy IP addresses. According
to an analysis by independent researcher Genevievo that

42
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:16.199
was shared with the Associated Press in
December. More than one hundred and forty

43
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:22.400
three thousand new deep fake videos were
posted online this year, which surpassed every

44
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:25.000
other year combined. There are mounting
calls for the website to be taken down

45
00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:31.800
and the owners criminally investigated. Printerry
and Megan Michael's friendship with Paramount boss Bryan

46
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:36.199
Robbins will help them as they eye
up a new TV streaming deal, a

47
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:40.240
branding expert said today the Duke and
Duchess of Sussex were invited to Jamaica for

48
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:44.680
a Bob Marley film premiere by the
family of mister Robbins, with whom they

49
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:47.199
are personal friends. The father of
three is a top Hollywood name who is

50
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:53.039
the chief executive of Paramount Pictures and
Nickelodeon, and lives with his stylist wife,

51
00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:57.439
Tracy James, in Los Angeles.
The Sussex's friendship with the Robins family

52
00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:00.599
is notable given Harry and Meghan are
likely to be searching for new forms of

53
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:04.159
income, with their eighteen million pound
Netflix deal expiring next year and their fifteen

54
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:10.319
million pounds Spotify contract having ended early
last June. It is also intriguing that

55
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:14.080
Paramount owns Comedy Central, which airs
South Park. An episode of the show

56
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:17.879
last February, entitled The Worldwide Privacy
Tour mockingly depicted Harry and Meghan on a

57
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:25.199
publicity blitz to promote Harry's book Where
Brand and culture expert nicky E told Meal

58
00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:28.040
Online that it was time for Harry
and Meghan to shop around and look where

59
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:30.560
they can land their next ratings winner. He also said they would likely be

60
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:34.519
getting tips for Archbold Productions, and
could also be pitching ideas for children's content

61
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:40.839
for Nickelodeon and scripted shows for Paramount
Plus, which is available for seven pounds

62
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:44.800
a month in the UK and six
dollars a month in the US. Mister

63
00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:47.160
Robbins is a friend of many Hollywood
stars and was seen posing the Tina Fane

64
00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:51.839
and Lindsay lowhand at The Mean Girl's
premiere in New York just a fortnight ago.

65
00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:58.720
TJ. Holmes says he's now scared
to speak my mind. Following the

66
00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:01.560
release of a podcast episode in which
Holmes and Amy Roback recorded one of their

67
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:06.040
real life arguments as a couple.
The hosts responded to the backlash from commenters

68
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:13.120
a new episode of Amy and TJ
featured the couple exploring how race plays into

69
00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:17.199
Holmes's fear of being wrongly perceived.
The fifty year old began, I flat

70
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:20.920
outset to both of you, meaning
Roeback and the producer right there on the

71
00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:24.839
phone at four thirty in the morning
East Coast time, that I don't want

72
00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:28.639
to put this out because this is
going to a fear be viewed as a

73
00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:30.920
black man beating up on a white
woman. Now, if anybody took their

74
00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:34.199
time and listened to that podcast,
obviously I was not yelling, screaming,

75
00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:38.639
he continued, I wasn't doing anything. Now we are a couple who is

76
00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:42.560
having a disagreement, so obviously neither
of us are having our best moments.

77
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:46.120
Holmes was right, as some comments
did define his behavior by the fact that

78
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:48.240
he's a black man. For Roeback, it was a lesson and being in

79
00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:53.959
an interracial relationship that would never have
crossed my mind race, The fact that

80
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:57.519
you're black and I'm white would never
have crossed my mind. And that's kind

81
00:05:57.560 --> 00:06:00.480
of to your point. She said, you have to think about things that

82
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:02.079
I don't have to think about,
and honestly, it took me a second

83
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:05.120
to kind of wrap my head around
it. Once you explained it and once

84
00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:09.519
we've seen the reaction, a light
bulb went off for me in a way.

85
00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:13.519
And it's just a constant learning curve. But and I've said this the

86
00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:17.040
whole time, I don't know what
I don't know, and every day I

87
00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:23.240
learn more about what I don't know. Roback confirmed, despite fan assumptions that

88
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:28.319
their relationship conflicts are healthy, I
have never had more respectful disagreements with anyone

89
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:30.160
in my life than I have with
you, she said. Holmes and robacks

90
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:34.759
Raw podcast, which featured the argument, was focused on their relationship issues.

91
00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:40.680
The He Did conversation showed the pair
confronting communication deficits in the relationship. When

92
00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:45.519
Roback called Holmes moody, he admitted
he usually doesn't share his really bad days

93
00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:47.639
with his girlfriend. The couple filmed
the episode in their living room, and

94
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:51.920
it came as a surprise to the
entire podcast team. Holmes said, we

95
00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:57.639
ain't right you and I aren't okay
right now. Of pitching the Raw podcast

96
00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:00.639
idea, I said, you know
what, let's set up and do a

97
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:04.040
podcast. Some commenters assumed Holmes and
Roebeck would call it quits after the argument,

98
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:06.600
but they didn't. We just wanted
to check in and let you know

99
00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:10.639
that, despite what you've been hearing, we are still together, the pair

100
00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:15.720
shared on Instagram after the flood of
comments started. More entertainment in just a

101
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:21.879
Moment. Sophia Vergara has a new
dating rule. During an appearance on Watch

102
00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:26.319
What Happens Live Last night, the
fifty one year old revealed that she won't

103
00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:30.439
date someone who is more than two
years younger than her. The actress admission

104
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:33.600
came during a discussion about Puerto Rican
musician Bad Bunny name checking her in his

105
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:39.519
track Monaco. As Vigara admitted she
threw my phone when she found out about

106
00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:43.879
the shout out from the rapper twenty
nine. Fellow guest Alexi Napola noted,

107
00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:46.959
and by the way, he's single, would you ever date him? The

108
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:49.199
brill Housewives of Miami Style then asked
her, well, no, let's not

109
00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:51.800
go crazy. Let's not go crazy. He is younger than my son,

110
00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:57.360
Manolo Manola was thirty two, responded
Vigara, who shares her son with ex

111
00:07:57.480 --> 00:08:01.160
husband Joe Gonzalez. Is that the
rule? They can't be younger than your

112
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:05.800
son, asked host Andy Cohen the
Pole, also fifty six, agreed and

113
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:07.560
added, for me, that's always
been that. I've always had that rule,

114
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:11.399
but the grisoldest star took it a
step further. To me, they

115
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:15.319
can't be younger than fifty. I'm
fifty one, really asked Cohen. Okay,

116
00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:16.920
forty nine, she clarified, adding
with a laugh, I'm intelligent.

117
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:20.240
Wow, I'm screwed by that rule, joked Cohen. Vigaro, who's a

118
00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:24.959
strange husband Joe Manngelo, also shed
further light on Bad Bunny, name checking

119
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:28.639
her on WWHL and revealed that the
shout out was a surprise. I didn't

120
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:31.800
know he was going to do it, admit to the Modern Family Alum,

121
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:35.080
it was super exciting. I love
him. In Monaco, which features on

122
00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:39.039
his fifth studio album, Bad Bunny
sings, Sophia Vigara is beautiful, but

123
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:43.159
she is more beautiful in person.
Vigaro responded to the singer, showing his

124
00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:46.120
love for her on Instagram back in
octob is, sharing a clip from the

125
00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:52.000
music video with the caption You're more
beautiful at Bad Bunny, pr kiss emojis
