Kristen Kish has had one of the most exciting years in food television, and she's not slowing down. The ‘Top Chef' host sat down with Newsweek's H. Alan Scott to talk about what makes the long-running competition series still feel so fresh, why there's no higher drama than watching world-class chefs compete and how the show authentically celebrates diversity in food and people. She also opens up about competing on ‘Traitors,' her book ‘Accidentally on Purpose' and how battling deep insecurity before ‘Top Chef' season 10, which she won, led her to finding her purpose.

Alan Scott to reflect on what it meant to play Jane, the documentarian who became the audience's eyes and ears into Valerie Cherish's world.

Plus he defends British people and their weather obsession and honestly? He's not wrong. And yes, the question was asked about his appearance on the final season of ‘The Comeback.'

Alan Scott to talk about HBO's ‘Miss You, Love You,' a dark comedy about grief, estrangement and the unlikely bond between two strangers at a funeral.

Rash opens up about the personal loss that inspired the story and the delicate balance of making audiences laugh and cry at the same time.

Plus, the queens get candid about drag's role in a chaotic political moment, why joy matters and why, as Nini puts it, we should never fully disconnect drag from the world around us.

Billy Magnussen has spent the past twenty years adding diverse roles to his resume, and ‘The Audacity' is emblematic of an actor coming into his own. Magnussen joins H. Alan Scott to talk about playing tech CEO Duncan Park in AMC's buzzy new series: why no character is a villain in their own story, how he built a man whose good intentions curdled into greed, and what it feels like to finally be number one on a TV call sheet. The fear hasn't gone away, and he's counting on it making him better.

What's going on with reality TV? Why is it so... bad right now? Newsweek's H. Alan Scott is joined by Newsweek colleagues (and reality TV fanatics) Jenni Fink and Lauren Giella to break down the state of reality television. From oversaturation and the YouTube disruption to the kumbaya effect killing our favorite franchises, they get into why reality TV is at a turning point and what it's going to take to save it.

Jace of The Comic Source is joined by Rocky from Comic Boom! for this week's DC Spotlight as they break down a lighter but still varied week of DC releases. Batman/Superman: World's Finest #50 gets discussed for its Dr. Destiny dream story, Superman's dream Supermobile, and a backup featuring Robin, Supergirl, Batgirl and Jimmy Olsen in a rivalry-fueled mystery. Batman/Static Beyond #5 continues to build around older Static mentoring a younger Batman Beyond while Failsafe and the larger Q-energy conflict move the story forward. Adventures of Superman: Book of El #7 delivers another dense chapter in the House of El saga with Otho-Ra, the future descendants of Superman and the larger science fiction mythology continuing to expand. Batman #8 is a slower setup issue centered on Bruce Wayne's conversation with Alan Scott, the threat of Vandal Savage, and Gotham's mayor Poison Ivy turning the city against Batman and Robin. Absolute Superman #18 stands out with Lois Lane confronting Talia al Ghul over her father's death, Ra's al Ghul showing the effect Superman has had on him, and the issue introducing Absolute versions of John Henry Irons and King Shazam while also hinting at the Phantom Stranger. Poison Ivy #43 continues G. Willow Wilson's character-driven run with Pamela Isley using her position as mayor to go after Gotham's corruption, while also advancing the fallout with Harley Quinn, Janet from HR and the consequences of Bob Venus. Bizarro: Year None #1 offers a different take on Bizarro through a Jimmy Olsen and Perry White focused story that sends them to Bizarro World, with the Daily Planet itself playing into that world's creation. JSA #18 wraps up the Year One material while also including more of the Search for the Spectre backup and its focus on the newer generation of Justice Society characters. Mad About DC #1 serves as a full Mad Magazine-style send-up of DC characters, creators and fandom with multiple standout gags and a tone both hosts found genuinely funny. Batgirl #18 leans deeper into the Spirit World mythology, Cassandra Cain's growing connection to the Wu clan, and the question of whether Lady Shiva is capable of redemption. The episode also includes a rundown of the week's collected editions along with rankings for the books discussed and selections for Book of the Week.

Step into assignment. Start with what's in front of you. Keep moving, and strength will come. In Week 2 of God Might, Alan traces Gideon's journey from hidden weakness to courageous obedience. What begins in fear moves toward surrender, worship, and bold action as God strips away self-reliance and reveals that His power works best through surrendered people. This message follows the movement of Judges 6–7: start with what is in front of you, don't despise small beginnings, surrender what you trust, and step boldly into what God is asking of you. Alan reminds us that assignment rarely begins when we feel ready. It begins when we respond. God gives power to the weak, increases strength to those who have none, and often calls us forward before we feel strong enough to go. The invitation is not to rely on your own ability, but to trust the Spirit, surrender what props you up, and discover how God turns weakness into strength. If you've been hesitating, waiting for clarity, or holding back until you feel stronger, this message is a call to move with what God has already placed in front of you: Step into assignment. Surrender what you trust. Let His power rest on you.

Riz Ahmed wants to make "category killers" — and ‘Bait,' his new Prime Video series about a London actor faking a James Bond audition, is exactly that. He sits down with Newsweek's H. Alan Scott to talk about the show's wild tonal range, why being brown in the West can feel like living in a spy thriller, and whether ‘Bait' is, as he puts it, his James Bond audition.

The Comeback is back, and Michael Patrick King is here to talk about it. The co-creator and director joins Newsweek's H. Alan Scott to break down how he and Lisa Kudrow arrived at the idea of Valerie Cherish being cast in the first sitcom written by AI, what it means to finally see Valerie in the real world without cameras, and why they only return to the show when there's a seismic cultural shift worth exploring. He also gets into the origin of his creative partnership with Lisa, what makes her performance genuinely one of a kind, and why, after 21 years, this feels like the right moment to say goodbye to Valerie Cherish. Spoiler: it's a party, and you're invited.

Dan Bucatinsky has been in Valerie Cherish's corner since the very beginning, and he's here to make the case for why she's always been a heroine, not a punchline. The actor and producer behind Billy, Valerie's manager, joins Newsweek's H. Alan Scott to talk about what makes this final season of The Comeback so emotionally satisfying, how the show manages to tackle AI without an agenda, and what it really means that Valerie is finally going head-to-head with the one person who knows her best. He also opens up about his decades-long creative partnership with Lisa Kudrow, the beautiful way season three honors the legacy of Robert Michael Morris (Mickey), and why, even as the cameras stop rolling on Valerie Cherish, he's not entirely ready to call it goodbye.

She's back, and she needs to be heard. Lisa Kudrow joins the Newsweek's H. Alan Scott to talk about The Comeback season three, the one we didn't know we were waiting for but absolutely needed. We get into an evolved Valerie Cherish navigating AI, a gut-punch tribute to Robert Michael Morris and what it means that Val is suddenly the one in the room who has it most together. As Kudrow puts it, "everybody is in that place that Val was 20 years ago"—and she's not wrong. Plus: that ‘Friends' moment, and why Stage 24 will finally have its hit TV show. This one is heartfelt, funny and essential listening for any fan of the show.

Happy Wednesday EIConversationalists. This week we ask, should everything be content?As of early February 2026, there are at least seven major television and streaming documentaries specifically focused on the case of Lucy Letby. The latest documentary The Investigation of Lucy Letby landed on Netflix earlier this month, featuring, in their words ‘never-before-seen footage as well as interviews with case investigators, a friend of Letby, and one of the victims' parents.'The words “digitally anonymised” popped up every time the grieving mother, or Letby's college friend, “Maisie”, appeared on screen, because although the documentary used their real voices, and real words they used Ai generated humans to represent them.In a piece for Newsweek H. Alan Scott writes, ‘On paper, the logic is sound. In practice, it is deeply unsettling. The closer you look, the more the illusion unravels. They are talking FaceTuned images—avatars trapped in the uncanny valley, mimicking sorrow without any of the soul, Instead of honoring the victims and grappling with the incomprehensible horror of Letby's crimes, we are left debating the ethics of a visual effect.'Netflix defended the decision to Esquire, stating the technology was used "to protect the anonymity of the contributors at their request." The evening standard said it was 'a morally egregious use of AI slop'Aside from the AI issue which we go into, we can't stop thinking about how many documentaries are popping up, seemingly constantly, about things that have just happened or are still happening.Do true crime documentaries need to have such a big place in our culture?Thank you so much for all of your opinions and takes on this topic, we love being in conversation with you all. O, R, B xxoxoThe Investigation of Lucy Letby review – this sensationalist take isn't what this awful case needsWhy The Investigation of Lucy Letby's 'Digitally Anonymised' Documentary is Causing ControversyLucy Letby's parents: Netflix show is an ‘invasion of privacy'Netflix's Use of AI Deepfakes is a Betrayal of True Crime Hosted on Acast.

Stephanie and Ashley from Plus Size Park Hoppers join Newsweek's H. Alan Scott to discuss how their viral Instagram and TikTok accounts help plus-size Disney fans navigate theme parks with confidence. "We've all had those experiences where we go to get on a ride and we aren't able to fit and it doesn't feel good," Stephanie shares. The duo opens up about handling online hate, the loneliness epidemic driving parasocial relationships, and defending Disney adults. "Walt did not build Disney World for children," Ashley notes. "The whole message behind it was so adults can go and feel like children again." They also discuss Universal's restrictive policies and their mission to show that "you don't have to wait until you fit a certain mold to go enjoy yourself."

Sims discusses the nerve-wracking pitch to get into Sephora, raising $15 million in six and a half weeks, and creating clinical skincare specifically for the 35-plus woman who felt forgotten by the beauty industry. She also shares why her eye cream became the number two bestseller at Sephora and her philosophy on product development.

This week on Out on the Lanai, we're joined by writer Hiko Mitsuzuka for a deep dive into the career of Herb Edelman, the man behind Dorothy's delightfully insufferable ex-husband, Stan Zbornak. We discuss their favorite Stan episodes, how Edelman elevated Bea Arthur's Dorothy and made her funnier, and the wild story of how his career took off after Mike Nichols happened to get into his cab. It's a celebration of one of The Golden Girls' most memorable recurring characters and the actor who brought him to life.Follow Hiko Mitsuzuka: https://www.instagram.com/thefirstechoSave $50 off LifeRX and join H.

What happens when the ultimate reality TV strategist decides to turn the camera on the genre itself? This week, we're joined by two-time Survivor legend Stephen Fishbach to celebrate the release of his propulsive debut novel, Escape! Stephen pulls back the curtain on reality TV production, exploring the psychological toll of being turned into a television character and the thin line between fame and humiliation.

Yes, Asher Grodman is a two-time Critics Choice nominee for his performance as Trevor on CBS' Ghosts, but he knows what you (and host H. Alan Scott) really wants to talk about: his legs.
