I ATTENDED MY first presidential convention in 1964 as Walter Cronkite’s gofer, and since then, I have covered 17 more. This time, I’m going to be a “wise man,” and along with Brit Hume will help put the Republican convention in perspective for viewers. We’ve seen a lot of conventions, so if we say we’ve never seen something before, it hasn’t happened in a very long time. As an NBC floor reporter in 1980, I was party to one of the most dramatic moments at a convention, when it was very much up in the air who would be the vice presidential running mate for Ronald Reagan. He was trying to work out a deal for a kind of copresidency with former President Gerald Ford. When that fell apart on…

THINK 11 MONTHS in a federal penitentiary might’ve turned this outspoken Garden State gal into a shrinking violet? Fuhgeddaboudit! Teresa Giudice—fresh off a stint doing time for her mail, wire and bank fraud conviction—is back on The Real Housewives of New Jersey, and as usual, the reality-TV vet isn’t taking any prisoners. (Her Season 7 castmates: bestie turned adversary Jacqueline Laurita, sister-in-law Melissa Gorga and newcomers Dolores Catania and Siggy Flicker.) Still, the 44-year-old mom of four, whose husband, Joe, began serving his 41-month sentence for related charges in March, insists her notorious temper has been rehabilitated. Here, Teresa opens up about lessons learned and the grudge that’s too big to be kept under lock and key. “I don’t know if it’s because I’ve started doing yoga—or everything I’ve been…

The Last Panthers Miniseries, Sunday, July 17, Hulu David Bowie wrote the opening theme to this modern European noir—and it just gets better from there. Shot in three countries (and multiple languages), Panthers follows the dark aftermath of a thrilling jewel heist in Marseilles as Serbian crooks, French cops and British insurance investigators (including John Hurt, above) desperately try to outwit each other. East Los High SEASON PREMIERE Season 4, Friday, July 15, Hulu Pack your sunscreen (and your condoms). East Los High’s Bomb Squad hip-hop crew is heading to dance camp, and it won’t be all s’mores and jazz hands. Latino pop star Prince Royce makes his debut as Vincent, the coach of a rival team who has a bit of a thing for Bomb’s leader, Ceci (Daniella Vega).…

IF CLEVELAND CAN do it, are the Chicago Cubs next? The Cavaliers ended a citywide 52-year championship drought with their NBA title—hardly a dry spell compared to the 108 years Cubbies fans have yearned for another World Series ring. Going into the All-Star Game, Chicago is on fire, but Fox playby-play man Joe Buck says, “This is not the team you’re going to see in October. They have the arsenal to go get somebody, maybe two, to help them be even better than they are right now.” Buck says the Cubs, who lost last year in the NLCS, secured a major offseason win by acquiring second baseman Ben Zobrist (right), a free agent “other teams are salivating over.” He also credits manager Joe Maddon with doing “such a good job…

@damianholbrook LOVE IT! Cheers to Game of Thrones for an ironclad ender. Cersei (Lena Headey) took a seat, Jon (Kit Harington) took the North, and Dany (Emilia Clarke, left) was on a boat! If they weren’t blown up or exiled, the key players of HBO’s epic killed it (many literally) in the fanfriendliest season finale ever. Cheers to Andrea Parker for being the nastiest little liar. As the late Jessica Di-Laurentis’s revenge-minded twin sister, the long-underrated Pretender vet has been bringing some seriously sinister camp to PLL with a wonderfully wackadoo turn. “A” would be so proud. Cheers to John Oliver for showing Brexit the door. Honestly, we still don’t entirely understand Britain’s decision to leave the E.U., but Oliver’s fiery on-air diatribe—which included allegations of pig relations—made us feel…

@TVGMattRoush TV Guide Magazine @TVGuideMagazine @tvguidemagazine Your article “Emmy Contenders” (June 20) disappointed my wife and me immensely. We feel that Orphan Black’s Tatiana Maslany (above) is consistently overlooked for the amazing job she is doing, giving each of the clones clearly different identities. I would like to hear why you felt she did not deserve a spot on the ballot. —BJ MATT ROUSH: That was never meant to be a comprehensive list. My intent was to spotlight several new breakout shows and stars, while championing those who have yet to make the cut. Maslany was nominated (finally!) for an Emmy last year, and I certainly hope she is again. But I’d be even more jazzed if anyone, or everyone, from the chronically underappreciated The Americans got their due when…

JILL KARGMAN Odd Mom Out Mondays, 10/9c, Bravo The funniest person on TV is John Oliver. I think he is pure genius, and his writers are like surgeons who cut to the heart of each matter so perfectly. My guilty pleasure Award-show red carpets. So superficial and cheesy, but I oddly love it! The shows I miss most Mad Men and Six Feet Under. Both were so dif erent but compelling in a way I had never experienced before. What I eat while watching Cheese and red wine for Game of Thrones and Pipcorn during awards shows. The first thing I watch when I wake up The Today show The last thing I watch before I go to bed I fl ip between all the late-night shows, but I always…

Concussion (2015) Saturday, July 16, 9/8c, Starz Will Smith was famously snubbed by the Academy for his powerful and emotional turn as real-life forensic pathologist Bennet Omalu, who discovered traumatic brain injuries in several deceased football players and fought for years to get the NFL to take preventive action. Spectre (2015) Saturday, July 23, 8/7c, Epix Until it’s official, we refuse to believe the rumors that Daniel Craig has taken the Aston Martin out for his last spin. As the second-best James Bond (after Sean Connery), Craig’s Casino Royale and Skyfall easily rank as the most impressive recent 007 films. In his latest outing, the U.K. spy tracks down Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Christoph Waltz), the leader of the criminal organization SPECTRE, who has adopted-brother issues. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay—Part 2…

T he Game of Thrones season finale is usually a calm affair, a recovery period for fans after an always-action-packed penultimate episode. This year, the Game changed. The Season 6 ender, which drew a recordbreaking 9 million viewers, delivered one jolt after another. What does it all mean for the endgame? CERSEI GOES NUCLEAR Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) made good on her declaration to the Faith Militant earlier this year: “I choose violence.” Instead of appearing for her scheduled trial at the crowded Sept of Baelor, Cersei had it blown to bits in a massive explosion of green wildfire. She killed hundreds of innocent citizens, along with her nemesis the High Sparrow (Jonathan Pryce) and most of House Tyrell, including rival Queen Margaery (Natalie Dormer), the wife of Cersei’s son,…

CELEBRITIES, GIRD YOUR egos. No movie, meme, literati or Twitterati is above a ribbing on Difficult People, Hulu’s showbiz comedy about two wisecracking thirtysomethings, blogger Julie (creator Julie Klausner) and waiter Billy (Billy Eichner), who are desperately seeking stardom. Here, Klausner gives us a sneak peek at what gets roasted this season. PRETTY WOMAN In a parody of the Julia Roberts (above) film, Billy gets a sugar daddy. “We had to do the famous bubble bath scene with that stupid Walkman,” Klausner says. “We were in a house with a cat and said to Billy, who’s allergic, ‘Will you take all your clothes off, get in this tub where this cat has been hanging out all day and dunk your head underwater?’ He said, ‘Let’s do it.’ ” THE ICE…
