Late Laughs for the week of June 14 - 20, 2020
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
That's right, we have the "Super Duper Missile." Of course, our enemies might soon develop a "Double Super Cool Missile." Then we'd have to counter with our "Awesome Times Infinity Missile," which you would think is unbeatable, unless the Russians finally achieve "Awesome Times Infinity Plus One" technology.
Press Your Luck, on ABC
Elizabeth Banks hosts this revival of the 1980's game show in which three contestants juggle the risk of pressing their button to spin on the show's "Big Board" to earn big bucks, but risk hitting the Whammy, which could take all their earnings in one go.
Snitch, on AMC
Based on the story of a real-life DEA informant, John Matthews (Dwayne Johnson) agrees to set up a sting operation on a drug dealer in order to get his son, who was framed for drug trafficking, out of prison. Jon Bernthal and Susan Sarandon also star.
Q: What's Guy Ritchie doing next? I loved "The Gentlemen" and am glad he's gone back to proper action movies again.
If you saw Guy Ritchie's latest movie, 2019's "The Gentlemen," as a return to form, then you'll be happy with what I'm about to tell you.
Ritchie is following up his comic caper film "The Gentlemen" with another crime flick, "Cash Truck," due out next year. Indeed, this is extra-great news for old school Ritchie fans, as it reunites him with his early-era muse, Jason Statham.
Magnum P.I., on CBS
Magnum (Jay Hernandez) and Higgens (Perdita Weeks) are called in to help when Katsumoto (Tim Kang) suspects a fellow cop of stealing evidence in this rebroadcast. Elsewhere, Rick (Zachary Knighton) and TC (Stephen Hill) help football star Aaron Donald.
Young Sheldon, on CBS
Sheldon (Iain Armitage) struggles to keep himself challenged academically after Dr. Sturgis' (Wallace Shawn) university class is canceled in this rebroadcast. Elsewhere, Mary (Zoe Perry) tries to help Pastor Jeff (Matt Hobby) when he faces temptation.
Saving souls and solving crime: Cop teams up with vicar in 'Grantchester'
Tom Brittney and Robson Green star in "Grantchester"
What more do the people of Grantchester have to hide? You'd be surprised. Your favorite British crime drama is back again, and it's gaining momentum after some major changes. You can see the Season 5 premiere of "Grantchester" when it airs Sunday, June 14, on PBS.
Q: Between his role as Spider-Man and his epic "Lip Sync Battle" performance, Tom Holland seems to be pretty gifted with his acrobatics. Was he a dancer or something beforehand?
Not "or" -- he was a dancer and more.
You're right to grab on to the dancing aspect first, though. Vox did the same thing in a fawning article explaining why Tom Holland is a better Spider-Man than predecessors Tobey Maguire (in the mid-2000s series of films) and Andrew Garfield (in the early 2010s films).
Big Hero 6, on ABC
When a masked villain threatens the futuristic city of San Fransokyo, Hiro, a young robotics wiz, enlists the help of Baymax, a large inflatable robot invented by his brother. Along with their eccentric friends, they work to protect the city from evil.
