This week's entertainment news features a preview of Connor Storrie's SNL hosting stint, backlash against Candace Owens' docuseries, and new projects for Chris Williamson and Jake Johnson.
The world of entertainment is always buzzing with new developments, and this week is no exception. From TV shows and podcasts to controversies and new projects, here's a roundup of the latest news.
First up, Connor Storrie is set to host Saturday Night Live (SNL) this week, and a new promo clip has been released showcasing his impressive Russian accent. Storrie, known for his character Ilya Rozanov in Heated Rivalry, will appear alongside cast members Ashley Padilla and Marcelo Hernandez in the promo. The clip starts with the trio discussing Heated Rivalry, with Padilla sharing that she was "completely dehydrated" by the finale, to which Storrie replies, "You're welcome."
In other news, Candace Owens is facing backlash after releasing a trailer for her new docuseries, Bride of Charlie, which targets Erika Kirk, the widow of Charlie Kirk and current CEO of Turning Points USA. The trailer has sparked outrage among some right-wing conservatives, who have labeled Owens "evil." Owens has been vocal about her thoughts on Erika Kirk since Charlie Kirk's assassination last year.
Meanwhile, the BBC is under fire for airing a racial slur during the BAFTA Film Awards on Sunday. UK culture secretary Lisa Nandy has expressed her "serious concerns" to BBC boss Tim Davie, stating that the incident was "unacceptable and harmful."
In more positive news, Chris Williamson, host of the popular podcast Modern Wisdom, has signed with CAA for representation. The talent agency will help Williamson secure new media formats and global audiences for his podcast, which features conversations with celebrity guests on topics such as masculinity, self-improvement, and fitness.
Finally, Jake Johnson has been tapped to star in NBC's new single-camera comedy from Brooklyn Nine-Nine co-creator Dan Goor and executive producer Luke Del Tredici. Johnson will play the lead role of Mickey, a private detective, in the untitled comedy.
These are just a few of the latest developments in the world of entertainment. With new projects and controversies emerging every week, it's an exciting time for fans of TV, podcasts, and more.
