J.K. Simmons has joined the cast of Jason Reitman’s SNL 1975, and not only will the Oscar winner be playing Hollywood legend Milton Berle, but he’ll have the notable distinction of becoming the first actual SNL host to join the cast of the Sony movie.
Simmons hosted the Jan. 31, 2015 episode of Saturday Night Live, which featured D’Angelo as the musical guest. At the time, Simmons was riding high off an Oscar nomination for Whiplash, and he would go on to win the Academy Award following his SNL hosting stint.
Meanwhile, Berle hosted SNL on April 14, 1979, and Ornette Coleman was his musical guest. It’s unclear where Berle fits into Reitman’s movie at this moment in time.

Who ya gonna call? Well, if you’re one of the next generation of Ghostbusters, you can probably ring up one of the Og crew, as it turns out they’ve been more than receptive to the younger cast of Frozen Empire. Finn Wolfhard and Dan Aykroyd living together? Mass hysteria!
As Wolfhard told The Hollywood Reporter in promotion for Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (and some TV show called Stranger Things – the dude is busy!), the original cast has been welcoming to the new blood, saying, “We spent so many days together on set, and we hung out a few times outside of set as well. Dan [Aykroyd], Annie [Potts] and everyone are such open books, and you can ask them anything about their lives and their industry stories. You can ask Dan about SNL in 1975, and he just remembers it all off the top of his head. So it’s really surreal...

The NCIS writers used a familiar trope to introduce a new character on Monday night.
FBI Agent Rose began the new episode as an adversary to the NCIS team, much like how former FBI Agent Alden Parker was situated when he was first introduced.
Parker was tasked with tracking down and arresting Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon). Rose was tasked with proving the guilt of Agent Nick Torres in a murder case.
Parker eventually saw that Gibbs and how he did his job was necessary. He turned from being an adversary to becoming an integral part of NCIS.
Rose began NCIS Season 21, Episode 1, as someone at odds with the NCIS team, but by the end of the hour, she was helping them out.
In the final moments of the season premiere, Rose followed Parker to NCIS, taking on a new job for Director Vance (Rocky Carroll).

The new episode focused on Agent Nick Torres (Wilmer Valderrama) and a man who had abused his family.
Actress Johanna Cure was also there to play Nick’s sister, Aida Torres. Each character was accused of murder, and they looked guilty as they tried to protect each other.
Nick and Aida were cleared before the hour was up, thanks to the help of former FBI Agent Rose (Kim Matula).
But the final moments of Season 21, Episode 1, had fans buzzing on social media.

Jason Reitman is staying mighty busy these days. Less than 24 hours after the release of the latest trailer for "Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire," four major casting announcements were made for his next project, "SNL 1975." The film will attempt to tell the true story of what went on behind the scenes before the broadcast premiere of "Saturday Night Live" on NBC, highlighting the real-time bedlam with some of the most legendary names in American comedy. Reitman co-wrote the script with his "Ghostbusters" collaborator Gil Kenan and is basing the story on the firsthand accounts of those who were there. Lest we forget, Reitman's father is the legendary Ivan Reitman, so these comedy titans were the friends and colleagues of the family. If anyone can get serious insight, it's Reitman.
The first wave of cast announcements included some serious heavy hitters, with "The Fabelmans" star Gabriel Labelle landing the role of Lorne Michaels,...

While they've been focused on their Ghostbusters films of late, with the newest, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire less than two months away now, Jason Reitman and Gil Kenan have also been putting the pieces together for something that draws on no little amount of nostalgia (not to mention a connection to Dan Aykroyd): SNL 1975, about the fraught first night of Saturday Night Live. The duo (with Reitman directing and Kenan writing) have built the cast and are now adding Lamorne Morris, Dylan O’Brien, Cory Michael Smith and Matt Wood to the line-up.
Here's the official synopsis: "On October 11, 1975, a ferocious troupe of young comedians and writers changed television forever.

This year could have been a Christmas disaster if not for Hallmark Media's forward thinking.
They're known for bringing productions together in short order, contacting cast just before production begins on a movie.
So how did they know that this year, time was of the essence?
With the now-finished writers' strike and the ongoing actors' strike, we could have been very close to getting coal in our stockings.
But if you've been paying attention, you know that every year, Christmas productions have been getting better.
The stories are more heartfelt, carry a deeper meaning, and include all of the biggest stars, as well as introducing new stars who steal our hearts.
The most notable difference is on display with the Hallmark Channel opening Countdown to Christmas movie Checkin' It Twice, starring Hallmark hunk Kevin McGarry and the sensational Kim Matula, whose first movie, Ghosts of Christmas Always, aired in 2022.

Movies with some supernatural element are always a treat, and Ghosts of Christmas Always plays like a modern-day version of A Christmas Carol.
Kim Matula stars as Katherine, a Ghost of Christmas Present, and she and the ghosts of Christmas Past (Lori Tan Chinn) and Christmas Future (Reginald VelJohnson) are tasked with helping Peter (Ian Harding) rediscover his Christmas spirit.
But this case isn't like all the others, and Katherine has to work extra hard trying to figure out why.
I had the chance to jump on the phone with Kim to talk about the movie, and you can find our conversation, which has been edited for content, below.
I've already had the opportunity to watch Ghosts of Christmas Always, and I loved it.
Well, thank you. I'm so glad. I'm excited to watch it when it airs on Sunday.
It's just adorable. It's funny. And it's moving. I was...

Exclusive: Peter Gadiot (Queen of the South) and Kim Matula (LA to Vegas) are set as series regulars opposite Ben Rappaport and Alexandra Chando in NBC’s untitled drama pilot based on the award-winning Dutch series Adam & Eva. The pilot is written by The Village creator Mike Daniels and will be directed by Stephanie Laing.
The project, described as a funny and heartfelt drama, chronicles the epic love and lives of two complete strangers, Adam (Rappaport) and Eva (Chando), whose multiple run-ins begin to defy coincidence, leading both to believe in fate. The show breaks the mold by pairing a serialized, stand-up-and-cheer romantic comedy with the wildly diverse and often unexpected human stories of anyone who finds themselves six degrees from Adam and Eva.

A variety of celebrities came together last week in support of a federal bill to end the suffering of wild and exotic animals in traveling acts in the US.
Actress Kim Matula anchored the virtual event and also appeared in ‘Reluctant Entertainers’, a short Adi film screened during the event, of actors, musicians, and directors calling on Congress to ‘leave the entertaining to those of us who want to perform’. Actresses Chloe East and Jorja Fox also made a guest appearance, urging viewers to take action in support of the bill.
The Traveling Exotic Animal and Public Safety Protection Act (Teapspa) is sponsored in the House by Representatives Raúl Grijalva (D-az) and David Schweikert (R-az), and in the Senate by Senator Robert Menendez (D-nj), with 37 original co-sponsors, and is being championed by Animal Defenders International (Adi), which has exposed suffering in US circuses and provided evidence and assistance on the bipartisan bill.
