Serena Williams will be the host of the 2024 Espy Awards.
ESPN announced the pick of the tennis legend as this year’s Espys host during Disney’s upfront presentation to advertisers Tuesday, with American Idol host Ryan Seacrest breaking the news on stage. The event will be held July 11.
The Espy Awards are ESPN’s annual awards show celebrating the best of sports. Last year Patrick Mahomes and LeBron James were among the big winners, and for the first time the program went without a host (due in part to the ongoing Writers Guild strike).
Williams, of course, retired from professional tennis nearly two years ago.
That being said, she has kept busy, with media being one of her top priorities. Williams inked a two-book deal with Random House Publishing last year, beginning with an “intimate” memoir.

The year’s second major, the PGA Championship, takes place at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky, May 16-19. Defending champion Brooks Koepka (pictured above) aims for his fourth PGA Championship title. He’ll face tough competition in Masters champion and world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm and reigning U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark. After a disappointing performance at the Masters, Tiger Woods hopes to show some improvement in his game. “I think every one of the majors he plays he’s got a better chance,” says ESPN analyst and reporter Andy North. “I think they all become easier walks for him as we get into the season. But I think he’s played well at Valhalla. He’s got some great memories there. He’s got a lot of great shots he can step up on tees and remember hitting. I think that’s really important.

Dog toys and roving Regency-era balls. Small-artisan hand-etched mirrors and allergy medicine. “Bridgerton” has become so much more than a TV show. Heading into Season 3 of Shonda Rhimes’ massively popular period romance series, Netflix has found that viewers aren’t just invested in the love story of new leading couple Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) and Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) — they want to invest in the brand itself.
That means a fandom spending its dollars on a growing merch and events business that helps them celebrate each new season of the show, which is based on Julia Quinn’s romance novels.

Christina Hall and her ex-husband Tarek El Moussa will be competing against one another – and each other’s spouses – in a new HGTV series called The Flip Off. The show is set to debut in early 2025. The new series will feature Christina and her new husband Josh Hall competing against Tarek and his wife Heather El Moussa to see who can find, buy, renovate, and flip a house for the biggest financial gain – “and the chance at bragging rights,” per the release. The formerly married couple previously co-starred in the HGTV hit reality series Flip or Flop for 9 years until the show ended in 2022, though both were able to remain in the HGTV universe with each of their own series having run on the network. Flip or Flop, which led the charge for a mass of HGTV show starring couples, came to an end shortly following their very public divorce...

Prepare to have some potentially mixed feelings about the upcoming Season 2 finale of Will Trent, titled, “Do You See the Vision?” At Tuesday’s Disney Upfronts presentation, TV Insider caught up with series star Erika Christensen on the red carpet to find out what might be ahead in the episode, and it sounds like we’re all in for some mixed emotions. “I honestly think it’s going to be very polarizing.

The official description for the episode, which airs next Tuesday, May 21 at 8/7c on ABC, is: “Will [Ramón Rodríguez], Faith, and Angie [Iantha Richardson] find themselves embroiled in a series of cases where a similar marker links the murders of several sex offenders.

Gotta love a Texas ranger with a vocal range! In the Wednesday, May 15, episode of Walker, entitled “Hold Me Now,” badass-in-a-big hat Cassie (Ashley Reyes) and smokin’-but-maybe-suspicious Det. Luna (Walker Independence alum Justin Johnson Cortez) take a breather from the ongoing Jackal case with a stop at what appears to be Austin’s nicest karaoke bar. Commiserating about the emotional toll of tracking down the serial killer, Luna opens up to Cassie about how he first found a way to shake off the bad energy: by singing in front of a bunch of strangers. Rebecca Brenneman/The CW Now, even though the two of them are seriously vibing, the clip ends before either of them can step up to the mic. Still, we can’t imagine the powers-that-be behind the scenes would stage this cozy lil’ hang in such an environment and not unleash their secret weapon: Reyes’ singing voice!

Welcome to Nobody Wants This — a very, very good place brought to you by Erin Foster. The comedy stars Golden Globe nominee Kristen Bell and SAG nominee Adam Brody as Joanne and Noah, an unlikely pair that are bound to make you giggle. The first photo from the series (above) proves the duo will also make you swoon. If the romance feels real, that’s because it was inspired by Foster’s own love story.
“This show is based on the only good decision I ever made: falling for a nice Jewish boy,” Foster, who created Nobody Wants This, tells Tudum. “But I realized that being happy is way harder than being miserable (there’s nothing to complain about). So, I created this show based on all the ways that finding the right person can be so hard. Nobody Wants This, but we do, and that’s all that matters.

CNN and Max will host a presidential debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump this summer. The debate will air live on CNN and stream simultaneously on Max as the two oldest presidential candidates in history go toe-to-toe. CNN is already putting controls in place to make the most of the allotted time for the debate. Here’s everything we know about it. When Will Biden & Trump Debate Take Place? The 2024 presidential debate between the Democratic and Republican candidates will take place live on Thursday, June 27 at 9/8c.
