Ask Matt

@TVGMMattRoush @TVGuideMagazine TV Guide Magazine @tvguidemagazine It has been bothering me since the end of The Blacklist this season that they used the worn-out gimmick of faking Liz’s (Megan Boone) death so perfectly and then used it to introduce her father—though Ulrich Thomsen is a favorite of mine from Banshee. I think Liz should have remained dead and been replaced by her own evil sister. Thoughts? —JV MATT ROUSH: So you would have swapped one tired cliché for another? Can’t tell you how often I ducked “Is Liz really dead?” questions during Megan Boone’s absence, when what I wanted to say was, “Have you watched this show, or even this kind of show?” Of course she wasn’t actually dead! The good news: They can’t pull this stunt again. Let’s hope.…

On the Road With the Osbournes

Jack and Ozzy Osbourne set out on a major road trip this summer, visiting historically significant destinations on Ozzy & Jack’s World Detour (premiering July 27 on History). A self-described “big space nerd,” Jack was adamant about one site in particular. “I was like, ‘We’re going to NASA!’ ” he says. The father-son duo visit NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston (pictured), where Jack learns his dad is a bit of a space nerd himself. “He knew so much more about NASA and the space race than I think he even realized.” Over the course of 10 episodes, Jack and Ozzy also visit Cuba, Japan, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C. The criteria for their destinations were pretty simple, Jack says: “The trips had to be historical, had to be on our…

Meet the crew…

CELEBRITY CHEF HAROLD Dieterle is super comfortable in front of the camera—something you may recall from the first season of Top Chef in 2006, which the Culinary Institute of America graduate won. Now, Dieterle is working behind the camera on AMC’s Feed the Beast, a drama about two friends (Jim Sturgess and David Schwimmer) who open a Bronx restaurant. His job: Make sure the cooking scenes look real. Dieterle dishes about cooking on screen and the culinary skill no actor can master in front of the camera. What’s your main job on set? Getting the actors up to speed with what they are going to be doing that day from a culinary perspective. I went with them as an assistant instructor when they attended culinary school. I also choreograph the…

The Roush Review

Orange Is the New Black The big house is more crowded and compelling than ever Season 4, Available now, Netflix @OITNB EACH YEAR, WHEN a new season of Orange Is the New Black arrives, bursting with life (and occasionally death) and sucking us into the turbulent passions and heated conflicts of these colorful prisoners, we’re reminded that, while Litchfield may be a great place to visit, you wouldn’t want to work, or live, there. Although, over the 13-hour binge, it somehow begins to feel like home, and the many characters like family, so it’s almost not a surprise when an inmate reacts to the very notion of freedom by declaring, “I’ve been evicted!” No such danger for Orange fans. Netflix has already renewed its very best drama for at least…

SCOTCH ON THE ROCKS

Outlander SEASON FINALE Saturday, July 9, 9/8c, Starz @Outlander_STARZ BEFORE DAWN ON a freezing morning last winter, Outlander stars Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan, who play soulmates Claire and Jamie Frasier, arrived on set in the rugged Scottish countryside to shoot a heartbreaking scene for the Season 2 finale. The pair soon got chills—and not from the cold. “When the sun came up, there was this magical layer of snow,” recalls Heughan, who makes fans swoon as the heroic 18th-century Highlander in love with feisty time-traveling former WWII battlefield nurse Claire. “The whole place looked like a Disney set. It was perfect for such a powerful scene,” Balfe adds. But the action on Outlander, as fans well know, is far from Disney fare. This season has seen the couple challenged…

FROM A TO ZOO

SPOILER ALERT: THEY live. Zoo’s first season ended with animal expert Jackson (James Wolk, above), vet coroner Mitch (Billy Burke), safari guide Abraham (Nonso Anozie) and intelligence agent Chloe (Nora Arnezeder) nearly reuniting with their not-so-long-lost cohort, reporter Jamie (Kristen Connolly), just as an army of apes, rhinos and other mad beasties flanked their SUV. The second season opens moments later with their (trust us) great escape. And it only gets wilder: Jamie goes missing…again. The genetic mutation causing the animal attacks has genetically mutated. Mitch is still ornery. Wolk, Connolly and executive producers James Patterson and Josh Appelbaum helped us compile an A–Z of people, places and furry things key to the goings-on. Allison Shaw U.S. Deputy Secretary of Defense Shaw (Joanne Kelly) joins the fray and wants a…

Social Media: Do Fans Go Too Far?

Acharacter on a popular TV show is killed. Heartbroken fans are enraged. They take to Twitter and bombard the shows’ writers with emotional, angry tweets. Can fan outcry change the way television is created? Every so often, yes, it can. Producers of The CW’s The 100 found themselves facing a backlash in March after they killed off clans leader Lexa (Alycia Debnam-Carey), a viewer favorite who had just consummated her relationship with Clarke (Eliza Taylor). Fans hit Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook and YouTube to vent their rage, deriding the writers. It didn’t help that Lexa was one of dozens of LGBTQ characters killed in the 2015–2016 season. One tweet: “We thought The 100 would be different. But you proved to be the same lesbophobic trash.” Lexa-related topics trended on social media…

AMERICA LOVES GAME SHOWS

Spin the wheel. Let’s make a deal. Name that tune. Who wants to be a millionaire? Who doesn’t? The password is: Press your luck. You bet your life the game show, one of the earliest formats to translate from radio, is embedded in TV’s DNA. It’s also among the most enduring, with ABC’s revivals of Celebrity Family Feud, Match Game, The $100,000 Pyramid and To Tell the Truth striking a perfect chord of join-the-party nostalgia. Truth or Consequences is credited with being the first U.S. game show to air on broadcast TV, 75 years ago, as a 1941 experiment in the New York market. (It went national in 1950.) The game show represents the earliest wave of reality TV, thrusting ordinary men and women into extraordinary situations as audiences, eager…

THE ROAD TO RIO

The 2016 Summer Olympics start on August 5, but gymnast Simone Biles isn’t looking past July 10. “I don’t want to get too ahead of myself,” says the gold-medal favorite for the women’s all-around, “so my No. 1 goal is making the team and then I can make new goals after that.” Qualifying for Team USA can be as competitive as the games themselves. “There’s been a lot of times in our history,” says 2012 Olympic backstroke gold medalist Matt Grevers, “where the third backstroker in the U.S. would have gotten an Olympic medal but wasn’t able to go.” SWIMMING WHAT’S AT STAKE From approximately 1,800 competitors, the top two to the wall in each event, plus relay swimmers, will compose a team of no more than 26 men and…

UnReal Monday, June 27, 10/9c, Lifetime TV finally has its first black bachelor—even if he is on Everlasting, the fake reality show within the soapy, sexy Lifetime drama UnReal. But as scandal-plagued football star turned suitor Darius Beck, B.J. Britt is finding out that scoring is tougher than it looks. Even though he’s doing the show to repair his image, Darius is not a bad guy. You are my new best friend! Thank you for pointing that out. He’s not a bad guy at all. He just got caught up in a bad situation and said the wrong thing to a female reporter. Will he get past his reluctance to do a reality show and embrace this opportunity? He did come onto Everlasting kicking and screaming, but now that he…

Crimson Peak (2015) Friday, July 8, 8/7c, Cinemax Director Guillermo del Toro’s spooky haunted-house flick is heavy on foreboding atmosphere and eye-popping scenic design. Tom Hiddleston (above, with Jessica Chastain) plays a broke aristocrat who has to manage a crumbling, ghost-filled mansion and keep dark family secrets from becoming public.

Five Things I Learned From Donald Trump

THIS HAS BEEN the Year of Donald Trump. Turn on the TV, tune in the radio or pick up a magazine and there he is. Well, I’ve seen even more of Donald Trump than you have, because he was my boss. OK, my TV boss. Back in 2012, I appeared on The Celebrity Apprentice, competing against 17 other celebrities to win money for charity. I did pretty well too, lasting 14 weeks before Mr. Trump looked at me and uttered those infamous words, “You’re fired.” In those 14 weeks, I got to see how reality television, and Donald Trump, work. Even though the weekly boardroom segments lasted only a few minutes in the show, we sat across the desk from Trump for hours each week to film them. I try…

THE WILDEST GAMESHOW MOMENTS!

The Quiz Show Scandal, 1956–1959 Fifty million Americans watched fair-haired professor Charles Van Doren end oddball genius Herb Stempel’s six-week winning streak on Twenty-One in 1956. But it was bunk: Both men (and several others) had been coached by producers. Van Doren finally fessed up in front of Congress three years later. Newlywed Shocker, 1974 The Newlywed Game contestant Olga Perez didn’t quite get the question when host Bob Eubanks asked, “Where specifically is the weirdest place you’ve ever gotten the urge to make whoopee?” Legend says she replied “Up the butt, Bob.” Her real answer: “In the ass.” The Dating Game Killer, 1978 Dating Game bachelorette Cheryl Bradshaw refused to see her chosen hunk, Rodney Alcala, saying he was creepy.

LOVE IT! HATE IT! Cheers to the Hamiltonys With Broadway sensation Hamilton all the rage, James Corden at the top of his hosting game and the most diverse field of nominees and winners on Earth, it’s no surprise that the Tony Awards raised the curtain on their highest ratings in 15 years. Cheers to TNT for docking The Last Ship. In the wake of Orlando’s nightclub massacre, the network opted to hold the drama’s Season 3 return—which featured a similar plot—for a week. Tom and Co. (Eric Dane with Dichen Lachman and Bridget Regan), we salute this decision. Cheers to Botched for its picture-perfect bromance. Forget the uni-boobs and blown-out butt implants (if you can).
