Broadway actor Nick Cordero is still fighting for his life after being diagnosed with the coronavirus. He's been hospitalized in Los Angeles for three months. His wife, Amanda Kloots, said he's still critically ill, even though he's now COVID-negative and no longer in a coma.

This year’s installment of the music competition was canceled because of coronavirus, but you can get your annual fix of high camp via Netflix’s new film starring Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams as two Eurovision hopefuls from a small town in Iceland. “Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga” is a parody of the competition’s eccentric acts and obsessive fandom, but it’s nevertheless been praised for capturing the spirit that has helped make Eurovision one of the world’s biggest televised events (over 180 million people watched it live last year, according to the European Broadcasting Union, Eurovision’s organizer).

When was the last time that something in the background of a movie made you laugh out loud? One of the byproducts of Judd Apatow’s reign as Hollywood’s millennial king of comedy is that his casually full-frontal directorial approach—i.e., holding the camera on a group of gifted improvisers and letting them riff—has birthed an entire cycle of flat, predictably rhythmed movies and prestige television shows in which it’s always easy to tell what’s supposed to be funny.
