RELATED STORIES HBO’s six-episode social satire The White Lotus wrapped Season 1 on Sunday with an episode that resolved the series’ central “Who’s in the Coffin?!” mystery, while also bringing some degree of closure to many of the show’s in-limbo relationships (read our full recap here). But questions remain, and we went straight to the source — series creator Mike White — for answers. TVLINE | You kept us guessing until the very end about who was in the coffin. How much did you wrestle with the decision as you were mapping out the story?It was kind of baked in [from the start]. I knew how it was all going to play out when I started writing. I wanted to give Armond a good send-off. He had the best seating ever and then he had the greatest act of defiance ever — taking a crap i...

Murray Bartlett stars in The White LotusPhoto: Mario Perez/HBO This post discusses plot points from the season-one finale of The White Lotus. The White Lotus’ six-week journey comes to an end in “Departures” with its status quo mostly intact—the guests have concluded their pantomime of wrestling with privilege and are ready to get back to their lives on the mainland. That is, except for Quinn (Fred Hechinger), who makes a sprint for freedom in the final moments. There’s also a notable absence in the group of employees bracing themselves for the new arrivals. After nearly two months of speculation, The White Lotus answers whose human remains are being loaded onto the plane.

John Oliver isn’t too pleased about the new host of Jeopardy! either. The HBO Max host noted his disgruntlement on today’s episode of Last Week Tonight while discussing school mask mandates. Early in the episode, Oliver played a clip of an angry mob accosting a school board member over mask mandates with a man screaming, “We know who you are.” “It is genuinely hard to imagine a five word phrase less welcome than ‘we know who you are’ aside from obviously ‘new Jeopardy host Mike Richards,'” Oliver quipped. The news of Mike Richards and actor Mayim Bialik succeeding the late Alex Trebek has been the focus of much internet scrutiny after fan favorite LeVar Burton was ultimately passed for the hosting gig. Richards boasts a solid game show-laden CV. He served as the exec...

Debra Winger has set the record straight over why she quit her starring role in director Penny Marshall's beloved 1992 baseball film, "A League of Their Own." The two-time Oscar-winning actress Winger, 66, told Britain's Daily Telegraph she objected to Madonna's casting because it made the project "an Elvis film" and was not what she signed up for.

"In other words, I collected my pay even though I did not play, and that’s very hard to get in a court." Geena Davis: The actress spills 'League of Their Own' secrets on film's 25th anniversary In one of her m...
