Actor Misha Collins is best known for his performance as the angel Castiel in the long-running series Supernatural. Despite initially being a supporting character, Castiel quickly became a fan favorite and an indispensable part of the series thanks to Collins’ performance.

Despite Collins’s unforgettable role in the series, some of his other stints haven’t been as memorable. As a result, many fans may have forgotten that the actor also appeared in an episode of the long-running procedural drama series NCIS.

The Masked Singer is one of the more innovative ideas to come out of reality television. It takes the form of the typical singing competition show, but with a twist. The contestants' identities are kept secret from the judges and audience because they are actually celebrities.

The reveal at the end is always the part viewers look forward to. Recently, one of the contestants was voted off the show. Before revealing the identity of the character who called himself Ice King, everybody had their guesses. When the reveal happened, it left many reflecting on this former child star's revelations about their childhood trauma.

Actor Randal Malone, who served as president of the Southern California Motion Picture Council for two decades and played a “film star” on the MTV dating game show Singled Out, has died. He was 66. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Malone passed away on Sunday, July 28, at Valley Presbyterian Hospital in Los Angeles, California, after a long battle with kidney disease. Born on May 29, 1958, in Owensboro, Kentucky, Malone began his acting career touring with various theater companies, which included stints on Broadway. He moved to Los Angeles in the late 1980s and landed roles in several low-budget films, such as Point Dume, Alien Force, and Sunset After Dark. He is perhaps best known for his appearances on the MTV dating show Singled Out, where he portrayed various characters across the show’s three seasons. His most memorable was “Film Star Randal Malone,” who appeared as a sort of male equivalent of Norma Desmond from Sunset Boulevard.

Randal Malone, an actor and president of The Southern California Motion Picture Council, died July 28 of kidney disease at Valley Presbyterian Hospital in Los Angeles. He was 66.

His death was confirmed by H.H. Dr. Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe, a longtime friend and advisory board member of the Scmpc.

Malone played a “film star” on the 1990s MTV dating game show Singled Out and was in several low-budget films.

Born on May 29, 1958 in Kentucky, Malone toured with theater companies after graduating college, including stints on Broadway, before settling in Los Angeles in the late 1980s.

While being the caregiver for his ailing grandmother, Malone dedicated his time and resources to the Motion Picture and TV Fund and worked closely with the late “Mayor of Hollywood,” Johnny Grant, to secure stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Malone’s first film role was in Sunset After Dark, co-starring Oscar winner Margaret O’Brien and Anita Page.

Randal Malone, who showed up in dozens of low-budget movies and played a “film star” on the 1990s MTV dating game show Singled Out, has died. He was 66.

Malone died Sunday at Valley Presbyterian Hospital in Van Nuys after a long battle with kidney disease, his family announced.

Since 2004, Malone served as president of the Southern California Motion Picture Council, a charitable organization that was founded in 1936 and remains one of the longest-running groups of its kind.

While signing autographs to promote Sunset After Dark (1996), in which he appeared alongside former child star Margaret O’Brien and onetime silent-film star Anita Page, Malone was spotted by producer Keven Undergaro.

He was then hired for Singled Out, which counted among its hosts Chris Hardwick, Jenny McCarthy and Carmen Electra. He portrayed various characters during the show’s three seasons, including “Film Star Randal Malone”; he wore gloves and used a cigarette holder...

Jenny McCarthy Rejected 17 Times From Hosting MTV For Playboy Past

When Jenny McCarthy posed for Playboy, she never thought that it would hinder her opportunities so badly. This was such a big deal for her but then, a chance at MTV came up. Sadly, she was turned away because she had been a playmate and it broke her heart. According to People, she had really wanted to be the co-host on the network. They were casting for, what would be a very popular dating show, Singled Out. It ran on the music channel from 1995 through 1998 but getting there was far from easy. McCarthy...

It seems even the Roku Channel is not free from The Great Streaming Purge of the 2020s. According to a report in Variety, over 35 notable Roku Original shows are to be removed from the streaming service sometime in the near future. This comes after multiple other services have removed shows and movies, many of them high-profile releases, from their feeds in order to cut costs. HBO Max — now merely Max — infamously removed a lot of their original films back in August of 2022, while multiple TV shows and movies were taken off of Hulu and Disney+ in May of 2023 for similar reasons. One might assume that a free, ad-supported service like the Roku Channel would be free from the caprices of the streaming market, but that is not so. The line of Roku Originals will be brought to an end.

Roku Originals, some may recall, were not Roku originals.

Updated, Sept. 8: Roku has removed at least 37 original shows from the Roku Channel, as part of its announced effort to cut costs.

Those include episodes of the “Reno 911!” revival of the Comedy Central series; oddball sex-doll comedy “Dummy” starring Anna Kendrick; plane-crash drama “Survive” starring Sophie Turner and Corey Hawkins; and dystopian thriller “Most Dangerous Game,” starring Christopher Waltz; “Singled Out,” a reboot of the ’90s MTV dating show hosted by Keke Palmer; “The Andy Cohen Diaries,” an animated series chronicling the life of the Bravo TV producer and personality; a remake of “The Fugitive” starring Kiefer Sutherland; “Elba vs. Block,” a stunt-racing show in which Idris Elba and professional rally driver Ken Block competed head-to-head; and survival drama “Wireless” starring Tye Sheridan.

Also pulled from the Roku Channel were “Dishmantled,” a cooking competition hosted by Tituss Burgess; “The Newsreader”; “Panhandle”; “Slip”; “Moving the Needle With Dr. Woo...

Exclusive: Roku has quickly found its new scripted boss.

The free-ad supported streaming service has promoted Brian Tannenbaum to oversee scripted content following news of Colin Davis’ departure to Sony Pictures Television. Deadline understands that he will initially take on the role on an interim basis, but sources suggest that he will likely get the job on a permanent basis.

Deadline revealed earlier this afternoon that Davis, who was Head of Scripted Originals, is joining the studio as EVP, Comedy Development.

Lydia Antonini remains Head of Creative Affairs and Morgan Pichinson remains Head of Comedy.

Tannenbaum has spent the last couple of years as Head of Alternative Originals and will now oversee all original programming for the service. It’s believed that he will become Head of Originals, after David Eilenberg was upped to Head of Content at Roku Media, following the departure of Rob Holmes earlier this year.

Roku is betting its fire-sale pickup of the shows from Quibi, Jeffrey Katzenberg’s short-lived, short-form startup, will continue to pay off for the streaming platform.

On Aug. 13, the company will premiere 23 new Roku Originals (each of them from Quibi’s library) exclusively on the Roku Channel to stream for free with ads. It’s the second tranche of Quibi shows coming to the Roku Channel, after Roku bowed 30 titles in May.

The new shows coming to the Roku Channel include “Mapleworth Murders,” a “Murder She Wrote” spoof that nabbed three 2021 Emmy acting nominations for Paula Pell, John Lutz and J.B. Smoove. Also on the slate are four previously unreleased Quibi titles: “Eye Candy” hosted by Josh Groban, a competition series in which contestants attempt to identify outrageous edible creations that look like everyday objects; cleaning competition “Squeaky Clean” hosted by Leslie Jordan; Season 2 of money-giveaway reality show “Thanks a...

“Saturday Night Live” actor Bowen Yang and stand-up comedian Joel Kim Booster will star in a modern romantic comedy called “Fire Island” set at Searchlight Pictures.

Andrew Ahn, the director behind the acclaimed indie “Driveways,” is directing the “unapologetic” feature that’s inspired by Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice.”

“Fire Island” is set in the iconic Fire Island Pines and centers around two best friends who set out to have a legendary week-long summer vacation at the gay mecca with the help of cheap rosé and a cadre of eclectic friends.

Booster also wrote the original screenplay. Filming will begin this summer in both New York City and Fire Island. Searchlight will release the film as a Hulu Original in the U.S. and on Star through Disney+ internationally.

Jax Media, the team behind “Russian Doll” and “Search Party,” is producing the film, with John Hodges, Brooke Posch and Tony Hernandez serving as producers.

Bowen Yang and Joel Kim Booster are set to star in “Fire Island,” a romantic comedy from “Spa Night” director Andrew Ahn.

Described as a modern day take on Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice,” the film will center on two best friends embarking on a weeklong vacation to Fire Island — the historic gay escape off the southern shore of Long Island — with the help of cheap rosé and a cadre of eclectic friends.

Exclusive: The Roku Channel has a job on its hands to manage its recently acquired library of Quibi shows and has hired the shortform service’s former exec Brian Tannenbaum to help on the non-scripted side.

Deadline understands that Tannenbaum, who was a senior content executive and programming lead in the shortform streaming service’s alternative and unscripted team, has joined the technology company to head up alternative content for The Roku Channel.

Sources have told Deadline that Tannenbaum’s priority is to handle the non-scripted portion of the Quibi content, dealing with producers and talent as it plans to roll out these shows on The Roku Channel later this year.

The majority of these non-scripted shows aired on Quibi during its brief window of operation, but there were a handful that didn’t – some that were completed before it shutdown and others that hadn’t finished production. Tannenbaum will...

Keke Palmer as signed an overall television deal with Entertainment One (eOne), Variety has learned exclusively.

“I am thrilled to be partnering with eOne to create entertaining, meaningful, fun television experiences that will deeply connect with audiences and be reflective of our current world,” Palmer said. “eOne’s commitment to allowing talent to bring their unique lens and lead the storytelling process made them an ideal partner for me.”

eOne will manage worldwide rights and serve as the studio for all projects created under the deal.

Palmer is an actress, singer-songwriter, producer, and television host. She recently wrapped filming on the feature “Alice,” in which she stars, and is set to appear opposite Daniel Kaluuya in Jordan Peele’s new film. She is also known for her role in “Hustlers” opposite Jennifer Lopez and Constance Wu. On the TV side, she has lent her voice both to the “Proud Family...

Well before Quibi debuted, it seemed inevitable that the service was doomed. Sure, it didn’t help that a streaming platform dedicated to short-form videos had the incredible misfortune to drop during a global pandemic that confined millions to their homes with way more time than they knew what to do with. But it only took a few minutes skimming through the app to understand that Jeffrey Katzenberg and Meg Whitman’s very concept of Quibi was flawed, pandemic or no. With no immediate ability to watch content on anything but a phone screen, no thought of letting viewers screenshot shows in order to share them, and no compelling answer to “isn’t this just expensive YouTube?”, Quibi didn’t have a grasp on what its audience might want until well after it launched.

In recent weeks, as the writing on the wall got clearer and clearer, it’s been...

The platform has renewed her comedy show for a second season, Variety has learned exclusively, adding to an expanding number of Quibi shows coming back for a second outing.

The series sees Richie in character as her trap alter-ego Nikki Fre$h, interacting with real life experts from the ever-expanding wellness world to learn ways to better serve our bodies and our planet. All the while, she comedically exaggerates those solutions to the edge of sanity.

“The world wants more of my voice, my garden, and my body. And I’m gonna give it to them,” said Richie of the renewal.

During a conversation with Variety to discuss the show, Richie explained that the name Nikki Fre$h is rooted in a hashtag she started using to accompany posts about her edible garden.

Quibi – allegedly pronounced “kwibby” – is the latest service to enter the streaming game, and its strategy is unique. The streamer’s mobile-only content is designed to be consumed in small chunks, or “quick bites,” but unlike its competitors such as YouTube, the shows on Quibi have big name stars and production values similar to what you’d find on a major network. Creators Jeffrey Katzenberg and Meg Whitman are betting that in our modern society of short attention spans there is an audience for well-crafted entertainment that can be watched quickly while on the go.

Quibi has released a new trailer for its upcoming comedy Dummy. This is just one of many, many high-profile shows that the upstart streaming service has coming down the pipeline. The gimmick, for those that aren't familiar, is that Quibi produces short-form content designed to be viewed on a mobile device.

Quibi’s April 6 launch is inching closer, and the mobile short-form streaming service made an aggressive sales pitch Wednesday morning at CES in Las Vegas.

The upcoming platform, created by longtime Hollywood and Silicon Valley power players Jeffrey Katzenberg and Meg Whitman, has raised plenty of eyebrows since its unveiling in 2018, and not just because the streaming service will only work on mobile devices. Episodes of each Quibi series will run under 10 minutes, and the platform, short for “quick bites,” has tapped a dizzying array of high-profile actors, content creators, and major companies to create or invest in the service. Katzenberg and Whitman told CES attendees during a keynote that the service will release roughly 175 series within its first year, which they say would equate to around three hours of new content every day. The service has already attracted $1.4 billion in investments, including from Disney and other studios

The original Singled Out ran from 1995 to 1998 with Chris Hardwick and Jenny McCarthy as hosts. Each episode featured a group of 50 singles competing for a date with one contestant. The new iteration will hook up a new generation of singles, of all genders and sexual preferences, seeking love in 20 bite-sized episodes. Reflective of today’s dating landscape, where everyone is connected, the series will bring online dating to life with a twist — the main dater is linked to the pool of diverse singles through social media.

Quibi has tapped actor Keke Palmer and comedian Joel Kim Booster to host its remake of the MTV dating show “Singled Out.”

“Singled Out” originally aired on MTV from 1995 to 1998, and was recently revamped for MTV’s YouTube channel. The reimagined version will seek to show that “anyone and everyone can find love no matter their sexual preference,” bring online dating to life by linking the main dater for the episode to the pool of diverse singles through social media.

“I am thrilled to be hosting ‘Singled Out’” said Keke Palmer. “To be able to reimagine this show for my generation and on a new platform is so exciting. Can’t wait for you guys to see what we have in store!”

Your new favorite hosting duo is Keke Palmer and Joel Kim Booster. That's just a fact. Palmer, who can currently be seen hosting GMA3: Strahan, Sara & Keke with Michael Strahan and Sara Haines and in social media feeds with her "Sorry to this man" meme, has signed on to host the new version of MTV's Singled Out for mobile-first platform Quibi.

Hollywood’s landscape has changed dramatically since Viacom and CBS were last married in 2005. Now that the two media giants seek a Wall Street reunion, there are endless possibilities for the future of its shared content pie.

Huge action franchises like “Mission: Impossible” and “Transformers” from Paramount Pictures could explore new origin stories or exploit quirky side-characters for streaming series on the CBS over-the-top platform All Access. All Access is also currently building out the “Star Trek” TV universe, with three shows under the franchise’s umbrella set to be on the streaming service in 2020. Signs of synergy are already cropping up as well. CBS, which owns the TV licensing rights to “Star Trek,” gave its blessing for a cartoon take on the sci-fi classic at Nickelodeon this year.

Not only would a flurry of development that leverages the well-known intellectual property of Viacom and CBS pacify shareholders in both companies,...

Quibi will crown nature’s “Fierce Queens” with a series about female animals. The project comes from the BBC Studios Natural History Unit, which is behind blue-chip natural history shows including the “Blue Planet” and “Planet Earth” series. It is BBC Studios’ first commission for Quibi, the short-form streaming service founded by Jeffrey Katzenberg and Meg Whitman.

“Fierce Queens” will look at animals including hyenas, fireflies, meerkats, and humpback whales from a female perspective. Nat Geo also recently greenlit a global series about matriarchal societies in the animal world called “Queens.”

“We are delighted to have won our first Quibi commission and be part of this innovative and unique broadcasting initiative,” said Jo Shinner, executive producer, BBC Studios Natural History Unit. “We can’t wait to reveal the astonishing behavior of the powerful Fierce Queens of the natural world.”

Mobile-only streamer Quibi is set to launch April 2020. Katzenberg and Whitman...

The short-form video service Quibi just scored another A-lister: Liam Hemsworth is set to star in an action-thriller series from Scorpion creator Nick Santora.

In the still-untitled project, Hemsworth will play the terminally ill Dodge Maynard. Desperate to take care of his pregnant wife before he dies, Dodge accepts an offer to participate in a deadly game, where he soon discovers he’s not the hunter, but the prey.

Santora will write and executive-produce the series alongside Phil Abraham (Orange Is the New Black), who will serve as Ep and director.

Hemsworth previously appeared in several Australian series, including Neighbours,...

Of all the TV shows to get a reboot or spinoff, Daria might be the one I'm most excited about. I was obsessed with the show growing up - I was just 12 when it premiered - and it reminds me of a time before Teen Mom and Teen Wolf, when you could watch shows like The Real World and Singled Out between a string of actual music videos. I could close my bedroom door, settle into my beanbag chair, and spend my evening chuckling at sarcastic, biting one-liners while I probably should have been doing my homework.

So, there was Daria. The show was a spinoff of MTV's other massive hit cartoon Beavis and Butt-Head, in which she appeared as a running character. It followed Daria Morgendorffer and her family's move to Lawndale, where the 16-year-old would begin her sophomore year in high school. In a 1999 New York Times article,...
