Earlier this week, we lost George Segal, who died at the age of 87 of complications from bypass surgery.
One of the most memorable roles of the versatile actor, whose credits range from the Oscar-nominated performance in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? to his final role on ABC’s The Goldbergs, was on the hit NBC comedy series Just Shoot Me!, created by Steve Levitan. Segal played fashion magazine publisher Frank Gallo on the show, which aired for seven seasons from 1997-2003. “This was a happy seven years,” Segal said of his run on the show during a June 2020 reunion.
Here is what Levitan remembers about working with Segal on Just Shoot Me!, which also starred David Spade, Laura San Giacomo, Wendie Malick and Enrico Colantoni, and what he will miss about him the most.
What I’ll miss most is his laugh. There was simply nothing better than the guffaw...

David Spade rolled up on his fellow “Just Shoot Me” series regulars Wednesday night on his new late-night talk show “Lights Out.” The series of drop-ins was an attempt to reboot their late 1990’s/early 2000’s sitcom, which was created by Steve Levitan (“Modern Family”).
While the Comedy Central host was the one who referred to his pitch as a “reboot,” what Spade was actually proposing would technically be considered a sequel series. The 17-years-later reunion came complete with a new, self-centered title: “Finch & Friends.”
Spade played Dennis Finch on each of the NBC sitcom’s 149 episodes.

You could do a lot worse than The Goldbergs, the new ’80s-set comedy following ABC’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. It’s got a cute premise, the cast is hilarious, and underneath the flashy fashion throwbacks and All The Yelling, a strong and realistic family dynamic is cropping up.
Sure, I’m a sucker for a solid father-daughter coming-of-age TV moment like the one we got at the end of tonight’s episode 2, but whatever. Sometimes that’s all it takes. My heart has been warmed! Wendi McLendon-Covey’s absurdly hot roller rink moves have inspired me to wear more off-the-shoulder sweaters this fall!

A new anthology film is on its way all the way from Italy, and it's home to many a ghastly horror trope such as zombies, demons, and all-around general mayhem. Read on for the full trailer for The Pyramid.
Written by Alex Visani and Raffaele Ottolenghi and produced by Visani, The Pyramid is an anthology divided into four episodes strictly connected to an infernal object - a bizarre pyramid that came into our world to spread madness, death, and destruction. Much like Hellraiser's Lament Configuration, the pyramid has been passed down from owner to owner over the centuries until the present, when it is found by an unfortunate guy who unwittingly uses it to open a doorway to a series of terrible and unstoppable events.
Francesco Rossini, Emilia Verginelli, Antonio De Matteo, Andrea Napoleoni, Cristina Buoninfante, Raffaele Ottolenghi, Mauro Celaia, Viktorya Tori, Maria Spelta, Jack Gallo, and David Power star.
