A number of Hollywood stars are paying tribute to Alan Arkin, who died at 89.
“Our father was a uniquely talented force of nature, both as an artist and a man,” his sons Adam, Matthew and Anthony shared in a joint statement announcing his death. “A loving husband, father, grand and great-grandfather, he was adored and will be deeply missed.”
Arkin was perhaps best known for his Oscar-winning work in Little Miss Sunshine, opposite Abigail Breslin, Steve Carell, Paul Dano and Toni Collette. He also starred in Argo, which garnered him another Oscar nomination. The actor most recently was nominated for back-to-back Emmys for best supporting actor in a comedy series for his work in The Kominsky Method.
“Alan Arkin’s talent knew no bounds,” Journey Gunderson, executive director of the National Comedy Center, said in a statement. “From his early days performing improv at The Second City to his stage and film work,...

Max Meyers has at least one firm rule about his new CNBC program, and it might surprise some of the business-news outlet’s die-hards. “I told everyone, ‘No earnings,’” says Meyers, a veteran producer at the NBCUniversal-backed cable network. “I don’t want to hear that.”
No net income on CNBC? Such a dictate would be anathema on “Squawk Box,” the morning-news program that Meyers previously ran, but it might just stick on “Last Call,” a new 7 p.m. effort from CNBC executives that aims to keep business-news aficionados hanging out with the network until later in the evening. Over the past week, anchor Brian Sullivan, who is moving from a 5 a.m. roost on “Worldwide Exchange” to anchor the new evening show, has held forth on everything from Tesla to Salesforce during rehearsals, ready to give late-breaking news to CNBC’s market faithful.

Carole King is woven into the Gilmore Girls universe so much that it’s difficult to note her involvement. The singer not only cameoed, but she also was the voice behind the show’s iconic theme song. King also appeared in A Year in the Life and had a private concert with cast members.
Biff Yeager and Carole King | Saeed Adyani/Netflix Carole King asked ‘Ayitl’ cast not to film their private concert
Gilmore Girls ran from 2000 until it ended in 2007. Gg returned nine years after its ending for a special miniseries called Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life and brought back almost every cast member. Although King wasn’t a core cast member, she is still technically a huge part of it, and her appearance in an episode of the miniseries Ayitl proves that.
Lauren Graham, who played Lorelai Gilmore in the series, sat down with Sam Pancake to discuss her career.

CNBC is making substantial changes to its weekday lineup, including a new show at 7 p.m. to replace Shepard Smith’s program, which it canceled two months ago.
The new 7 p.m. show will be called Last Call and will be anchored by Brian Sullivan, currently the anchor of Worldwide Exchange. According to a memo from CNBC president Kc Sullivan, Last Call will be a “fast-paced, entertaining business show that explores the intersection of money, culture and policy,” and include newsmaker interviews, panel discussions, and debate segments.
The program effectively replaces The News with Shepard Smith, the general interest news program that was canceled in November.
But 7 p.m. is not the only lineup change Sullivan announced Thursday.

Tributes poured in on Saturday for Larry King, the beloved suspender-wearing TV show host who interviewed everyone from world leaders to Hollywood stars to ordinary Americans over the course of a six-decade broadcast career.
King died Saturday at age 87 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, where he had been hospitalized last month with Covid-19.
“We mourn the passing of our colleague Larry King,” CNN President Jeff Zucker said in a statement. “The scrappy young man from Brooklyn had a history-making career spanning radio and television. His curiosity about the world propelled his award-winning career in broadcasting, but it was his generosity of spirit that drew the world to him. We are so proud of the 25 years he spent with CNN, where his newsmaker interviews truly put the network on the international stage.”
“Just heard the awful news about Larry King,” former late-night host Craig Ferguson tweeted. “He taught me so much.

Hamilton was a massive success that was the most-watched title on any streaming service throughout July, but apart from the filmed version of the beloved musical and The Mandalorian, there’s not really been a lot of high profile titles added to the library this year.

In a galaxy far, far away (aka Hollywood), Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford had to audition for Star Wars: A New Hope without even reading the script, and I'd expect nothing less from two of my favorite adventure-seeking space travelers. Yep, Hamill shared this Star Wars fun fact on Sunday, after news anchor Carl Quintanilla shared a video of the audition on Twitter, and we can't get over how incredible their acting was!
"My screen-test for @starwars w/ Harrison on the 1st day I ever met him," Hamill captioned his retweet of the clip, which fans of the intergalactic film series are now calling "legendary." "Neither 1 of us had read the script at this point, only this 1 scene. I asked George what kind of movie it was - 'Let's just do it, we'll talk about that later.' We never did talk about it later - we just did it.

The idea for 1984's Splash was originally conceived during a late night drive in 1977 after producer Brian Glazer was left wondering what would happen if he met a mermaid and fell in love. Cut to seven years later -- after many in Hollywood rejected the concept -- and the film Splash was born, starring Tom Hanks as a lowly everyman who falls for a mermaid (Daryl Hannah) while also trying to protect her from nefarious individuals out to capture her. Oh, and John Candy is awesome as Hanks' best friend. Now cut to 2016 and Glazer seems to be back in the Splash game, telling CNBC's Carl Quintanilla (during Quintanilla's new show Binge) that he's remaking the '80s classic, only this time they're switching it up by making the film follow the point-of-view of...

Almost any movie, especially from the 90s on back, is bound for a remake at some point but I can't say this one would have immediately come to mind. Producer Brian Grazer is working on a remake of mermaid rom-com Splash. Directed by Ron Howard, Brian Grazer helped write the romantic comedy along with Bruce Jay Friedman, Lowell Ganz, Babaloo Mandel, and Bruce Jay Friedman. It starred Tom Hanks as a co-owner of a fruit and vegetable business along with his older brother, played by John Candy, and Daryl Hannah as Madison the mermaid who gains legs when she's on dry land. Eugene Levy plays on overeager scientist looking to study her. (There was also a made-for-tv sequel titled Splash, Too but it's probably best for everyone involved if we forget about that.) It was silly, like lots of 80s films, but cute nonetheless. /Film posted an interview Grazer did...

Hollywood has already proved that it has no qualms about rebooting films that are 10, 20 or even 30 years old. In 2016 alone, we’re going to see reboots of Pete’s Dragon, Ben-Hur, The Magnificent Seven and Ghostbusters, the latter of which has especially led fans to react rather uproariously. So it shouldn’t surprise anyone that producer Brian Grazer is developing a remake of his 1984 classic Splash. However, Brian Grazer has insisted that there will be one major change to this version, as it will come from the mermaid’s point of view. Brian Grazer made this revelation while talking with CNBC’s Carl Quintanilla about his hugely impressive CV as a producer, which saw him pick up the 2002 Best Picture Oscar for A Beautiful Mind. Brian Grazer was actually also nominated for the Best Original Screenplay of 1984 after he co-wrote Splash. Still, Grazer& ...

Fox has ordered Fatrick for next season, a comedy by Don’t Trust the B—- in Apartment 23 creator Nahnatchka Kahn. The series follows a man who was fat as a child and is now looking back at how trying to survive being a chubby kid affected him in adulthood. After the genius of Apartment 23, I think I’d be willing to sample a show called “Kardashians Reading Phonebooks” if Kahn wrote it.
With Matt Lauer‘s contract ending on 2015, The Hollywood Reporter says that NBC is evaluating potential replacements for him. THR says that Willie Geist,...

This could be a blow to The New York Times' mergers and acquisitions coverage, even though the author of Too Big to Fail will continue to write a column there and oversee its DealBook site. Sorkin is one of the best-known and well-sourced reporters on the deal beat. But his frequent appearances on shows including MSNBC's Morning Joe suggest that Sorkin has been bitten by the showbiz bug -- and Squawk Box had an empty chair since Monday, when Carl Quintanilla left to host Squawk on the Street. Here's the note that Svp Nik Deogun sent to the staff: Joe Kernen, Becky Quick and Carl Quintanilla made Squawk Box must-watch television thanks to their chemistry, creativity and, above all, content expertise. Every morning, Squawk distills oceans of information on global markets, companies and politics so that the nation's most affluent and influential viewers can start their day smarter.

Comely "Squawk Box" co-anchor Becky Quick is ruffling some feathers.
Quick, 36, who hosts the early-morning CNBC show with Carl Quintanilla and Joe Kernen, quietly married the show's executive producer, Matthew Quayle, a few months ago - which has drawn grumbles from co-workers regarding the ethical ramifications.
