Jason Isaacs is not willing to talk about his genitalia, despite being asked about it in multiple interviews after his full frontal scene on The White Lotus.

The 61-year-old actor bared everything on the HBO series when his robe fell open in an episode four scene. Fans have questioned whether it was really him or if he was wearing a prosthetic, and his co-stars have confirmed the true answer.

Jason appeared on CBS Mornings and Good Day New York on Friday morning (March 14) in New York City to promote the show. He was asked about the scene in both interviews and he shut down the question both times.

Wendy Williams wants out. During an appearance on The View Friday, the former talk show host and media personality continued her campaign pushing back against evaluations that have deemed her cognitively impaired and incapacitated, which have kept her in an unwanted guardianship since 2022.

“How dare they say I have incapacitation,” Williams said. “I do not!” The 60-year-old called into The View for her segment, which ran for under 30 minutes. Earlier this week, Williams was transported from her assisted living facility in New York to a hospital via ambulance. “I needed a breath of fresh air,...

For the past month, residents of the northeast and mid-Atlantic U.S. have made thousands of reports and social media posts about supposed sightings of suspicious drones and unidentified aerial objects at night. And because government agencies have not provided an explanation as sensational as people believe their photo and video “evidence” to be, the public has begun to run wild with outlandish conspiracy theories, ranging from foreign spy operations to extraterrestrial visitation.

The FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Aviation Administration, and the Department of Defense on...

Curt Menefee announced on Fox NFL Sunday that he will co-host Good Day New York weekdays alongside Rosanna Scotto beginning Tuesday, Jan. 16.

Menefee will keep his Fox NFL Sunday hosting duties and anchor Good Day New York Tuesday through Friday during the football season.

“I’ve been a news nerd my whole life,” Menefee told the New York Post, adding he consulted fellow Fox NFL Sunday co-host Michael Strahan about adding the second job. Strahan is a veteran of ABC’s Good Morning America.

Bianca Peters, who has been co-host of Good Day New York since the summer of 2021, will transition to co-host of Fox 5’s The Noon with Chris Welch and The Fox 5 News at 6 p.m.” with Natasha Verma.

This isn’t Menefee’s first stint at Fox 5 NY. He first arrived at the station in 1995 and worked for five years as a sports anchor.

He announced his new role on the NFL pregame show Sunday.

“I’m beyond thrilled to be returning to Fox 5 as a member of the Good Day New York family, while also continuing my weekly...

Curt Menefee is dipping into Fox Sports colleague Michael Strahan’s playbook.

Fox’s lead NFL host will expand his role with the company, and will hold down a co-anchor slot with Rosanna Scotto on “Good Day New York” at Fox’s Wnyw in New York. Menefee will keep his Sunday football role, and during the NFL season, will co-anchor at Wnyw Tuesday through Friday. Bianca Peters,. who has been Scotto’s co-anchor, will co-host Wnyw’s “The Noon” and “The Fox 5 News at 6 p.m.”

Fox’s cross-media maneuver for Menefee marks the latest attempt by some of the nation’s...

The 49-year-old “Today” presenter was confident in a blue and white bandeau bikini teamed with a white cover-up as she spent the afternoon with a mystery man.

During her beach frolic, Hoda also made some time to have a snack with “Good Day New York” host Rosanna Scotto.

Sporting a big sun-soaked smile, Ms. Kotb added the caption, “Fancy meeting You @rosannascotto.”...

Bravo, Hoda Kotb. Kathie Lee Gifford's partner in Today talk may have to rise at the crack of dawn every morning, but she's obviously finding time to fit in her workouts. While in Miami over the weekend, the 49-year-old Kotb showed off tan, toned abs and legs in a blue and white bandeau bikini top and white bottoms with a short white sarong loosely knotted around her waist. And the Daytime Emmy winner wasn't enjoying her respite from the New York winter alone—an unidentified man was with her, as was Good Day New York anchor Rosanna Scotto. Kotb told People in June that she was "getting back in the groove" of dating after the end of a two-year...

Jenna appeared totally out-of-it during a live TV interview while promoting her new erotic novel, ‘Sugar.’ Watch the former porn star’s awkward video below and tell us what you think, HollywoodLifers!

Jenna Jameson, 39, is known to make a raunchy splash — but we were shocked when she seemed to be under the influence of drugs during an interview! Jenna slurred her words so badly that her TV segment was reportedly cut short — but you’ll never believe the reason that Jenna gave for acting so disoriented!

Jenna Jameson’s Live TV Interview Reportedly Cut Short Because Of Bizarre Interview

Jenna was a guest on Good Day New York on Oct. 21, and hosts Greg Kelly and Rosanna Scotto were excited to ask her about her new fictitional erotic novel, Sugar.

However, it was apparent that Jenna was loopy from the start, stumbling over her words. She acted totally disengaged about her book,...

Everybody has those days! In an Oct. 21 interview with Good Day New York, adult film queen Jenna Jameson looked entirely out of it, slurring her words and making little sense.  TMZ originally reported the novelist's segment with co-hosts Greg Kelly and Rosanna Scotto was cut short after her bizarre behavior became too intense. But when cameramen approached Jameson, 39, on Oct. 22, she told the gossip site the interview was not cut short. Looking much more coherent, the mother of twin boys, Jesse Jameson and Journey Jette, [...]...

We're guessing Jenna Jameson isn't a morning person. Turning up on Good Day New York Monday to plug her new erotic novel, Sugar, the former porn star turned author gave a rather bizarre interview that was apparently cut short out of concern for her well-being. In the interview, the 39-year-old Jameson slurred her speech a couple of times when she talked with co-hosts Greg Kelly and Rosanna Scotto about retiring from the adult film business a decade ago. She then followed that with somewhat distracted, almost unintelligible answers about her book, which is based on her life. "It's about me," she said about Sugar, seemingly out of it and forming her words very slowly.  "I...

Richard Belzer's interview on "Good Day New York" went off the rails Wednesday when the comedian and "Law & Order: Svu" actor made a series of off-color jokes that culminated in a "Heil Hitler" salute aimed at Fox News.

The trouble started when Rosanna Scotto asked if "Law & Order: Svu" might be able to find a role for her co-host David Price. After a brief pause, Belzer said, "A thought, a thought ... if he gets molested and banged in the ass, maybe." As the interview ground to an awkward halt, Belzer asked, “Do we have the five second delay?” Price, slightly under his breath, responded, “That’s the end of Belzer and the end of me."

The live TV weirdness escalated to another level at the end of the interview when Scotto, still reeling from Belzer's previous comment, tried to gracefully end the segment. Belzer, who is Jewish, raised his...

Richard Belzer doesn't mince words—or gestures—when it comes to his feelings about Fox News.

We guess someone forgot to tell him Hitler jokes are verboten? As the segment came to a close, the 68-year-old actor-comic was asked by Good Day cohost Rosanna Scotto whether her on-air partner Dave Price might resemble him enough to play his brother on Law & Order.

Comedy is social commentary. In a totalitarian regime, what’s the first thing to go? Comedy. Because comedy is, by its nature, subversive.

Susie Essman

Many comedians and fans alike, consider the comedy stage a sacred place, where the dark, offensive, sacrilegious and even stupid can and should remain uncensored.

But in the age of smart phones and YouTube, where something said on stage in front of a few hundred people can suddenly become national news, how do comedians continue taking the risks (and making the mistakes) that make live comedy so thrilling?

Moreover, is apologizing for your material, however dark or upsetting, the antithesis of being a comedian? Is it the comedian's job to go too far?

These are some of the ideas we're exploring in HuffPost Comedy's series, "Crossing the Line".

Through interviews with top comedians and writers, we're looking at how these bastions of free speech are necessary parts of our culture,...

The morning after Lou Ferrigno was fired on "The Celebrity Apprentice," he stopped by "Good Day New York" (weekdays, 7 a.m. Et on Fox) to defend his controversial performance on the show. Ferrigno has had his share of critics this season, including Dee Snider and Lisa Lampanelli, who the former "Hulk" actor got into an argument with in Sunday night's boardroom.

Lampanelli was mad about last week's eliminations, and called Ferrigno and Dayana Mendoza "useless" and said they had "five brain cells between them." When they got into another argument in the boardroom, Ferrigno said, "Lisa's lucky that she's not a man, because if she was I'd throw her right through that window."

On "Gdny," Ferrigno joked about the tense moment, but still got a jab in on Lampanelli. "I'm a strong team player. And I think because Lisa Lampanelli, because she's not physically fit, I think it affects her brain,...

New York -- The New York City police commissioner's TV host son resumed his morning show duties at "Good Day New York" on Friday, telling viewers it had been a tough couple of weeks but he was ready to get back to work after being cleared of the prospect of criminal charges of raping a woman he met for a drink.

It was Greg Kelly's first day back on the job since he took a leave of absence from the show after the allegations surfaced late last month.

Sitting next to his co-host, Rosanna Scotto, a relaxed-looking Kelly said, "It's great to be back. Folks, thank you very much."

"It's was a tough couple of weeks, obviously, for a lot of people. I'm very, very grateful for all the support I got here from my friends at Fox, support from my family, friends, those I care about."

He also thanked...

Greg will be back to co-hosting 'Good Day New York' with Rosanna Scotto very soon. The rape charge against Good Day New York host Greg Kelly was dropped in a New York City court Feb. 7 after sex crimes unit chief Martha Bashford found there was insufficient evidence to charge the NYPD commissioner's son with sexual assault. "I am thankful that the investigation established what I've known all along, that I am innocent of the allegations that were waged against me," Greg says. One of Greg's Good Day co-workers tells the New York Daily News that the decision is a "big relief," adding that "those who know Greg always felt he should be exonerated. Hopefully, the headlines will be as big for this part of the story." Greg was initially accused of rape Jan. 25 when a woman claimed he raped her in her own office. He has since taken...

It's been a few years since Steven Van Zandt last played a mobster, but the man who played Tony Soprano's consigliere Silvio Dante has a new mafia project, "Lilyhammer," which premieres on Netflix Monday, Feb. 6. Van Zandt stopped by "Good Day New York" (weekdays, 7 a.m. Est on Fox) where he previewed the series, and broke the sad news that the chances of a "Sopranos" movie getting made were slim.

In "Lilyhammer," Van Zandt plays a character named Frank the Fixer, a New York mobster who rats on his boss and flees to Norway. "He was passed over, he was supposed to be the boss, and they put this other guy in who gets jealous and tries to kill him. And because everybody loves him, he's shocked by someone trying to kill him and overreacts. So instead of moving to Nevada or Arizona, he goes to Norway," Van Zandt explained.

It can be difficult for even the most ardent of "Jersey Shore" fans to keep track of whether Ronnie and Sammi are currently dating. They've split up multiple times, but have a habit of getting back together whenever the "Jersey Shore" cameras are rolling. And as a result of the lag between when the show is filmed and when it airs, TV viewers are often put in the position of watching them together on-screen while they're currently broken up in real life.

Ronnie stopped by "Good Day New York" (weekdays on Fox) to try and clear up the confusion and update viewers on the state of his relationship with Sammi. He explained that, "[In] Italy, me and Sammi did really well, Jersey we did really well. You put us in a bubble for four months, and then you put us back in a world where I go from seeing my girlfriend...

Hello Brooklyn! Jay-z plans to return home to Brooklyn, New York, after the brand-new Barclays Center arena opens in September 2012 and perform a string of concerts to celebrate.

The Daily News is reporting that Hov will perform eight shows next fall at Barclays. The rapper appeared live from the arena's construction site for an interview with local Fox 5's "Good Day New York" on Monday (September 26) to talk about the performances. He also formally announced that the New Jersey Nets will officially be known as the Brooklyn Nets when the NBA team moves into the arena next year.

"It's great," Hov said of the move to Bk. "I have a reason to come to Brooklyn often, which is fantastic for me because this is my foundation.

Vinny Guadagnino makes the fist pump look easy on 'Jersey Shore,' perhaps deceptively so. Guadagnino stopped by 'Good Day New York' (weekdays, 9Am Et on Fox) to talk about how he became a 'Jersey Shore' star, and to teach anchors Rosanna Scotto and Greg Kelly his signature dance move.

Guadagnino, who's actually a Staten Island native, decided to pass up law school to enjoy the show's success. "I want the degree, yes," he said, "but right now, I think I'm doing well." Scotto asked if Guadagnino was aware of his fifteen minutes of fame fading. "My fifteen minutes started an hour ago," he said. "This was a phenomenon and it was more than I think fifteen minutes. It took off to five seasons."
