Note: The following story contains spoilers from “Curb Your Enthusiasm” Season 12, Episode 10. As many suspected, Sunday night’s series finale of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” replicated the wildly divisive 1998 “Seinfeld” ending, in which the main characters were found guilty — essentially for being terrible people — and sent to jail. It was either “impressively meta” or a reason to turn off the TV for fans. In the “Curb” finale, Larry David was sentenced to a year in jail for violating Georgia’s voting law. The jury was swayed to convict by the endless stream of anecdotes about Larry behaving badly,…

Kristen Wiig had plenty of possible characters she could resurrect while hosting “Saturday Night Live” this week, but the first one she chose to bring back was none other than Aunt Linda. And yes, she had some choice words for the biggest movies and TV shows of last year. The character returned once again during Weekend Update, first greeting Colin Jost as previous host Seth Meyers. “Someone’s gotten some work done,” Linda said bluntly. Once pleasantries were out of the way, she started in on the stuff she’s been watching. First up was “Barbie,” which Aunt Linda simply couldn’t stomach….

Jimmy Kimmel told his audience on Thursday’s episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live” that he really hopes Donald Trump’s closest upcoming trial might finally be the one that takes him down. That would be the trial over the hush money he paid to former porn star Stormy Daniels set for April 15. “I feel like we all want to see him taken down by the porn-star one. Right?” Kimmel said. “Grab him by the mushroom, Stormy!” Kimmel got there by talking about how Trump has had some legal setbacks this week. “Oh man do I feel for him,” Kimmel said as…

What are you seeing? That question drives “Ripley,” the eight-episode limited series made for Showtime but premiering on Netflix on Thursday, April 4. This third filmed adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s 1955 novel “The Talented Mr. Ripley” looks like more of a character study than a crime spree or Italian travelogue, but when viewed from different angles it’s those things too. We spend more time just hanging with sociopath imposter Tom Ripley here than in any of the previous, shorter-by-definition feature film productions (the 1999 “Talented Mr. Ripley” and 1960 “Purple Noon” from the same source, “The American Friend” and “Ripley’s…

The serious financial setback Donald Trump experienced this week in the form of a massive drop in value of his media company didn’t come as a shock to Stephen Colbert. What did come as a shock to “The Late Show” host was that the drop happened at all. “I’m actually surprised that Truth Social had value,” Colbert joked during his monologue Tuesday night. Of course, what Stephen Colbert was talking about is the massive losses incurred by Trump Media & Technology Group, the company created essentially to manage Trump’s unsuccessful Twitter clone, Truth Social. The parent company (which trades on…
