A new public service announcement featuring likenesses of celebrities including Michael Douglas, Chris Rock and Amy Schumer aims to warn voters about AI deepfakes, including those that could be unleashed on Election Day to try to suppress the vote.
The spot is from RepresentUS, a nonpartisan anti-corruption organization that includes figures like Ed Helms and Jennifer Lawrence on its board.
The central aim of the spot is to warn voters of messages that seek to dissuade people from voting. Before the New Hampshire primary, a robocall deepfake of Joe Biden’s voice was sent to voters that tried to discourage them from casting a ballot.
Others likenesses featured in the spot include Laura Dern and Orlando Bloom, while the real Rosario Dawson and Jonathan Scott appear at the end.
According to RepresentUS, the likenesses of the celebrities were used with permission.

There’s no denying that the US version of The Office has maintained its popularity, even after decades, since the show’s finale. So much so, that the series now sparks dubious talk of a reboot every other month. But while the majority of the show’s popularity was based on characters like Michael Scott, Dwight Schrute, and John Krasinski’s Jim, a few have related to characters like Ed Helms’ Andy Bernard.
Ed Helms in The Office | image: NBC
Introduced in the third season of The Office, Ed Helms’ Andy Bernard joined the Dunder-Mifflin Paper Company, and immediately came off as a doofus and a jerk, rubbing his Ivy League education in people’s faces. However, although Andy outraged a number of fans, the actor behind the character was deeply pleased by his role. So much so that Helms even admitted to relating with his character and aspired to be more like him.

It would be weird for fans to see Todd Phillips back to direct the Wolfpack members on another adventure gone wrong. The Hangover was a film that worked on a particular formula, that has been used over and over again in its sequels and other similar comedy films. While Bradley Cooper may want to go down his comedy roots again with a fourth film, it just doesn’t make any sense at this point.

The original film starred Cooper, Ed Helms, Zack Galifianakis, and Justin Bartha as the four protagonists who always end up in a hangover mess when they get together. While the first film became the highest-grossing R-rated comedy at the time, the two sequels failed to live up to the original.

Amazon MGM‘s Voltron movie got a significant update today after confirming that The Witcher and Man of Steel star Henry Cavill is joining the live-action adaptation. Cavill lends some impressive star power to the Rawson Marshall Thurber-directed feature, also starring Daniel Quinn-Toye.
Thurber also co-wrote the script with Ellen Shanman. The general premise of Voltron centers around five young pilots whose vehicles join together to form the mega mech known as Voltron. The show was edited together from several Japanese anime series, including Beast King GoLion and Armored Fleet Dairugger Xv, and originally ran in the mid-80s. Voltron spawned several sequel series, including Voltron: Legendary Defender, which spanned eight seasons on Netflix.

There was a time when fans of popular movies were actually thrilled about sequels. Given the directors used to handle the same with care without jeopardizing the already established story arc. However, recently, the production of sequels has begun to feel more like a money grab than an effort to enhance the cinematic experience for audiences. In light of this, a past interview with director Todd Phillips has resurfaced.

NBC’s Dateline correspondents Keith Morrison, Andrea Canning and Josh Mankiewicz are staring at me via Zoom for a rare joint interview, and the effect is initially unnerving. It turns out, this kind of reaction isn’t unusual. Canning recalls visiting the Today show with Morrison where they bumped into The Hangover actor Ed Helms. “You people scare me,” Helms blurted.
Yet when the correspondents turn their attention to the victims and suspects of sensational crimes on Friday nights, they become downright soothing — law-and-order comfort food for true crime fans and couples without end-of-week plans. For three decades, NBC’s longest-running primetime series has been a compelling and smartly produced always-there mainstay. It’s not what the critics call “appointment TV,” but it’s exceedingly reliable. Dateline knows how to tell a compelling story, complete with misdirects, twists and grabby narration.

Stewart returned to The Daily Show earlier this year, striking a deal with Comedy Central to host on Monday nights, with members of the show’s team hosting on other nights. Ratings have improved for the program, and not only on nights where Stewart hosts.
While the Covid production protocols that had been in place since 2020 have largely been loosened, the virus has still kept some talent off the air in recent months. Late last year, for example,...

When fans got their first peek at the lives of the employees of Dunder Mifflin Paper Co., Scranton, little did they know how much they would fall in love with the show. And initially they didn’t. While the first season has its own fanbase, it still received a lot of flak. But how the turntables.
Over the course of the next few years, the series mesmerized fans, who couldn’t help but fall in with the characters overtime. And Ed Helms has the perfect rationale for explaining how the writers got the character development right.

What made The Office the success it was, was how well it could make us fall for, and hate at the same time, characters who were total pricks.

A group of comedians are signing on for the latest Zoom call to benefit Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign, with Ben Stiller, Jason Bateman, Cecily Strong and D.L. Hughley among those signed up to participate.
The Monday evening event, to start at 8 p.m. Et, was inspired by a series of virtual calls that have raised huge sums for the Harris campaign since it was launched on July 21. A White Dudes for Harris call on Monday raised more than $4 million, and featured celebrities including Jeff Bridges and Joseph Gordon Levitt, and political figures including Gov. Tim Walz (D-mn) and Gov. Roy Cooper (D-nc).
Also on that call was Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-ca), who said that he was inspired to reach out to friends and contacts in the comedy world for a standup-oriented virtual event. He said that he reached out to Dani Zoldan, owner of Stand Up New York, and producer...

Comedies have been a staple of the cinematic landscape dating back to the earliest days of Hollywood, when guys like Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton were the biggest stars in the world. Yet, these days, comedies don't often break out as true blue blockbusters. In the 2000s, "The Hangover" became one of those rare breakthrough hits, becoming arguably one of the most successful films the genre ever produced. Part of that can be chalked up to the commitment of the cast and crew. Case in point, Ed Helms literally yanked out one of his teeth for the sake of a joke.
In 2013, The Hollywood Reporter documented the history of "The Hangover" as the third film was getting ready to make its way to theaters. As viewers will surely recall, after waking up in Vegas after a drunken night for a bachelor party, Stu (Helms) discovers that he is missing a tooth,...

Image Source: Warner Bros What happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas, as the antics of The Hangover proved. Released 15 years ago, the movie struck a chord with both audiences and critics alike. In fact, fans made it the top-grossing R-rated comedy film of all time, a record it still holds today. One of the things people loved about the film was the genuine feeling of brotherhood between the film’s stars: Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, and Zack Galifianakis. In terms of characters, though, Galifianakis’s Alan was — at least initially — the outsider, the brother of the bride who was shoehorned into the bachelor party hijinks. And he was the weird one. While Galifianakis wouldn’t go so far as to call himself typecast for the role, he did admit to us that he loved playing “the weird guy,” especially when he and the others were given so...

"The Office" is one of the greatest television comedies of all time, which is probably why it's still one of the most popular streaming titles (with rights previously costing $500 million) nearly a decade after it premiered on NBC. Despite a few rough seasons in the back half of the show's run, the series still stands tall as a pinnacle of small screen hilarity. Those low points came after showrunner/creator Greg Daniels left the series at the end of season four to focus on "Parks & Recreation," and they got worse after Michael Scott left Dunder Mifflin (something Steve Carell didn't exactly choose to do).
With both of those pillars of "The Office" gone, the writers struggled to fill the holes left in the show, both comedically and narratively, by making Andy Bernard (Ed Helms) the new manager and leaning more into the family drama of Jim (John Krasinski) and...

The Hangover was a monumental success upon its release, which was lauded by critics and fans and launched Bradley Copper, Zach Galifianakis, and director Todd Phillips into the limelight. Moreover, it made a blast at the box office, racking in $469 million on a budget of $35 million, which meant a sequel was inevitable, and two years later, The Hangover Part II opened in theatres.
Much like its predecessor, the sequel became a huge box-office hit, becoming the highest-grossing entry in the trilogy, but unlike the first one, the second one hasn’t particularly aged well.

Showrunner Greg Daniels’ sequel to hit sitcom The Office has been commissioned for a series at Peacock. Domhnall Gleeson will lead the ensemble cast.
There have been repeated talks of a revival of the American version of The Office revival in the years since it concluded. Given the success of the show, it seemed to be a question not of if, but when. We now have the answer.
Greg Daniels, who developed the American remake and served as showrunner for the majority of its nine seasons, has co-created a sequel series with Michael Konan.
Described as being “set in the same universe” as The Office, the description, via Deadline, reads as follows:
The documentary crew that immortalized Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch is in search of a new subject when they discover a dying historic Midwestern newspaper and the publisher trying to revive it with volunteer reporters.

Peacock has officially ordered the Untitled Greg Daniels and Michael Koman comedy mockumentary series set in the same universe as The Office. Domhnall Gleeson and Sabrina Impacciatore (The White Lotus) will lead the ensemble cast of the show, which is set to begin production in July.

It's a busy old time for Paul Walter Hauser – with good reason, since he's been putting in excellent, memorable and award-winning performances in a variety of films and shows. He's now attached to another big title, joining Liam Neeson in the cast of Paramount's new spin on The Naked Gun.
The 1988 original saw David Zucker, brother Jerry, Jim Abrahams and co-writer Pat Proft turn their short-lived comedy series Police Squad! into a movie. It was an instant comedy hit, Leslie Nielsen's iconic central performance cementing his transformation from dramatic actor to comedy legend as Detective Frank Drebin.
Two sequels followed to diminishing returns (though there are still good gags to be enjoyed in both), but we started to hear rumours of a remake in development years ago. That went through a few versions — Ed Helms was attached to star for while — and more recently, Seth MacFarlane has been involved,...

In spite of almost two decades having passed since the release of the first episode, The Office’s legacy still lives on in fans’ hearts. Millions of them constantly recall the favorite sitcom’s cultish moments and catchphrases, doing parodies and allusions.
Pranks have always been one of the most remarkable aspects of the show, with many of them being repeated around the world. These obviously include Jim Halpert’s pranks on Dwight Schrute, the office’s main fighter for justice and pain in the neck.
It resulted in Dwight's actor, Rainn Wilson, often getting pranked in real life too, during the public events and reunions he visits. However, some of Jim's antics follow him even when he doesn’t expect it, and he has recently seen another joke made on him.
During a trip to Florence, Italy, the actor ordered room service and was surprised to find his cutlery encased in red Jell-o.

Andrew Bachelor has signed with CAA as the social media star-turned-actor and producer partners with the talent agency for representation.
The Canadian-born comic and actor, also known as “King Bach,” has in all around 75 million fans online, especially on Vine, the shortform video-sharing platform. Vine’s limit of six seconds per-movie makes for creative challenges, but Bachelor leveraged his NYU Film School training to pack full dramas into each short Vine post to amass a giant following.
Bachelor then crossed over to film where his credits include Netflix’s comedy Coffee and Kareem, where he starred with Taraji P. Henson, Ed Helms and Betty Gilpin, and the streaming giant’s horror film The Babysitter: Killer Queen, which also starred Jenna Ortega, Samara Weaving and Bella Thorne.
Bachelor also appeared in the Netflix romantic comedy Holidate and the Gerard Butler-led thriller Greenland. He will also appear in STX’s sport...
