With Righteous Gemstones ending on Sunday, I thought it'd be a good time to go deep with DANNY MCBRIDE and his whole crew about his life and career. "The funniest person I’ve ever met." -Walton Goggins www.theringer.com/2025/05/01/t...

If you need a fun distraction this week, I went deep with Tim Robinson and Sam Richardson about their friendship and their Lions fandom. www.theringer.com/2025/01/16/n...

I spent some time with Jim Downey, the guy who has some of the best lines in Billy Madison, One Battle After Another, and The Chair Company. Oh, and he was the longest-tenured writer in SNL history. www.theringer.com/2025/10/21/t...

RIP Kimberly Hébert Gregory, who played Belinda Brown in Vice Principals. If you want to know how funny and smart she was, I talked to her for this story back in the spring. www.theringer.com/2025/05/01/t...

A prophecy foretold.

Happy 77th birthday to the late, great Phil Hartman, The Simpsons' skeleton key.

Robert Redford's supernatural charisma perfectly summed up in this anecdote from Sam Kashner's Vanity Fair story about Mike Nichols casting The Graduate. www.vanityfair.com/news/2008/03...
