... as a filming location for one scene in the show. "Sterling [the actor who plays Randall in the show] was a very nice guy," Ronald Payne of Payne's BBQ said. "He was very personable, and we got to meet him and laugh with him.". “It’s a real going-home story. It feels like a real love letter to Memphis and a real love letter to William and his story," the show's creator, Dan Fogelman, told Entertainment Weekly. “They’re actually in Memphis and eating Memphis barbecue and going to Memphis clubs and hotels. It’s got a real authentic vibe to it.”. For those of you who tune in regularly, you've probably been wondering what happened in William's life to lead him to a place where he felt his only option was to leave his newborn baby boy at a fire station.

How This Is Us Is Handling Death Better Than Any Other Tv Show

... well of storyline into a montage. How to Prepare for This Is Us' Devastating Twists (Hint: You Can't, According to Milo Ventimiglia). But This Is Us is proving that death, in real-life and on TV, doesn't have to been the end of a relationship or a sweeps episode, to be meaningful. Siddhartha Khosla, who wrote the song William composed in the episode, said, "The lesson I get from the show, from the entire series, is that life doesn't really end ever, so the idea of the refrain here at the end, 'We can always come back to this,' is a play on that, just saying that you might not be here now, but I'll find you somewhere down the line.". And the episode, along with William's final day, was a mix of joyfulness and sadness, as the father and son shared stories, memories and laughs, ones that likely only came out of William's acute awareness that his time was almost up. They were getting to know each other and saying goodbye, all at once. "We tried to make it not just this sad episode, but an episode that had a little bit of sort of hope in it and a sense that life is about transitions and death is just one of those," Requa said, with Ficarra adding that this ...

This Is Us' Star Chrissy Metz Takes On Body Shaming And Lady Gaga Critics

... "I think that will happen for me, but right now I think it’s so important that we’re having those conversations because when you’re knowledgeable about something the fear goes away and so many people are afraid of fat people," she added. "It’s crazy and I hate to say that, but until we educate people and figure out what the real issue is, people are going to be afraid of it.". That "fear," however, may have less to do with others' bodies and more to do with people projecting to avoid grappling with their own anxieties about themselves. Or, at least, that’s what Metz suggested while discussing the body-shaming that followed Lady Gaga's blockbuster Super Bowl halftime show. "That made me bonkers, bananas, crazy," Metz said. "How is someone fat if they’re not fat? I want to see somebody else get on that stage and do what she damn did! I think what’s the core of the issue is we project all our crap onto other people, and if we’re genuinely happy with ourselves and love ourselves, then you can’t talk (expletive) about other people. You can’t be hateful because you love ...

It takes a special talent to out-maniacally grin a comic-book confection like the one Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon dreamt up, but Gilgun, somehow, pulls it off. Photo: Courtesy of AMC. Samantha Bee (Samantha Bee), Full Frontal. Just like Jon Stewart and, to a more extreme degree, Stephen Colbert before her, Samantha Bee isn’t being precisely herself when she stands up on TBS each Monday night to eloquently rage about the news of the week. There’s a whole team of writers who work hard to make the character of Sam Bee, self-proclaimed Nasty Woman and righteous liberal avenger. It’s not as if Bee disagrees with any of the pointed barbs she launches on Full Frontal—but we’ll call this character the ultimate version of Bee. Hers was just the voice we needed to get us through the election year, and she’ll be all the more vital in the next four years to come. Photo: Courtesy of TBS. Marcia Clark (Sarah ...
