Peacock's new 'The Office' spinoff just got an official release date — here's when you can stream it
Back in May, we got a first look at a new spinoff from "The Office" about a struggling Midwestern newspaper, the Toledo Truth Teller. With that tease, we also got a vague release window for September of this year.
Now, we know that "The Paper" will premiere on Sept. 4 with a four-episode premiere on Peacock. The remaining six episodes are dropping on the streaming service in two-episode drops until the two-episode season finale on Sept. 25.
If you haven't heard about this spinoff of NBC's iconic sitcom, 'The Paper' is set in the same universe as the Emmy Award-winning mockumentary. And like with the original show, pushing paper is important.
As previously mentioned, this show is centered around the fictional newspaper, the Toledo Truth Teller. The team at The Truth Teller is struggling to keep it afloat despite the efforts of its eager publisher to revive it.
"The Paper" stars Domhnall Gleeson, Sabrina Impacciatore, Chelsea Frei, Melvin Gregg, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Alex Edelman, Ramona Young, and Tim Key. Plus, "The Office" star Oscar Nuñez reprises his role from the original show. Eric Rahill, Tracy Letts, Molly Ephraim, Mo Welch, Allan Havey, Duane Shepard Sr., Nate Jackson and Nancy Lenehan are set to appear in guest starring roles.
If you're worried this is just a money grab from NBC, let me assuage some of those concerns. "The Paper" brings back 'The Office' co-creator Greg Daniels and adds "Nathan for You" co-creator Michael Koman to the creative team. It also features the same documentary crew who spent their time recording life in Dunder Mifflin's Scranton branch, providing some intriguing continuity from the original show.

Brent Musburger, the legendary college football announcer, has landed a new job for the 2025 season - part of it, anyway. The iconic college football announcer, who called ABC's Saturday Night Game of the Week for several years with Kirk Herbstreit, has since been calling Las Vegas Raiders games on the radio. But ahead of the 2025 college football and NFL seasons, Musburger has landed a new job. It's an impressive one. Musburger, 86, has landed a prominent NFL announcing role on the verge of the 2025 preseason, which gets underway on Thursday night with the Hall of Fame Game. Musburger will be joining NBC's booth for the Detroit Lions vs. Los Angeles Chargers Hall of Fame Game. The 2025 recipient of the Pete Rozelle Radio-Television Award will first be honored on the air. He'll do a sideline interview with Maria Taylor before joining NBC announcers Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth in the broadcast booth for the entire second half of the game. Musburger is one of the most iconic voices in all of sports media. He's perhaps best known for his college football coverage, working alongside Kirk Herbstreit at ABC and ESPN. But he also has strong ties to the NFL. Musburger, an avid gambling fan, now lives in Las Vegas. He was the original host of CBS's NFL coverage and he's been on the call for several Super Bowl broadcasts, too. The iconic football announcer has also done strong work for the NBA and college basketball, too. It'll be fun to see him back in the broadcasting booth ahead of the 2025 NFL season.

Seth Meyers Gets Karoline Leavitt to Roast Trump in Fake Press Conference
The NBC host asks about the Epstein files, funding cuts and more The Trump administration has had quite a few press briefings in recent weeks, but they haven't answered some of the biggest questions that Seth Meyers has. So, 'Late Night' had its own White House briefing on Tuesday night, in which the NBC host led press secretary Karoline Leavitt to roast her boss. It's a recurring bit on the late night show, in which Meyers pretends to be a member of the press and asks silly questions. The response comes in the form of previous clips of Leavitt, utilized as unexpected punchlines. Up first on Tuesday, Meyers tackled Republicans' recent funding cuts. More from TheWrap Josh Gad and Andrew Rannells to Star in 'Stay Tuned' TV Adaptation in Development at Hulu Jimmy Fallon Jokes the Only Reason Trump Says He 'Never Had the Privilege' of Visiting Epstein Island Was Summer Heat | Video How to Watch 'South Park' Season 27: When Is Episode 2 Coming Out? 'Watson' Casts Robert Carlyle as Sherlock Holmes for Season 2 'Tariffs have thrown the economy into chaos. Billions in funding for Medicaid recipients is being cut, and now Republicans are shutting down Congress to avoid a vote on releasing the Epstein files,' Meyers said. 'Are you doing anything we can be excited about?' 'You don't need to take off your shoes anymore at the airport,' a clip of Leavitt responded. Meyers conceded that that was indeed a good thing, but then turned his attention to Epstein once more. The host questioned who Trump would throw under the bus for the Epstein files, to which a clip of Leavitt said Donald Trump Jr. 'Oh, right. Same name, it will work with the list,' Meyers joked. He then questioned what exactly Trump has sold on his website ('$9 billion worth of crap,' Leavitt responded), what makes toucans such cool birds ('One big beautiful bill'), and more, including quizzing her on music lyrics. The 'Late Night' team even imagined Leavitt's response to 'who really killed Jeffrey Epstein?' 'Hunter Biden,' a clip retorted. You can watch the full fake press conference in the video above.

'Gwyneth: The Biography' author Amy Odell unpacks the cultural power—and cringe—of a woman who shaped what it means to be a modern celebrity, whether we like it or not.
Gwyneth Paltrow is an Oscar-winning actress, a best-selling cookbook author, and the founder of a $250 million lifestyle brand. She is also, according to at least one magazine, The Most Hated Celebrity in the World. Author Amy Odell, who spoke with more than 220 sources over three years for the recently released Gwyneth: The Biography, thinks the reason why the Goop founder is 'so triggering' to so many people is because she 'has never had an average life.' Odell sat down with The Daily Beast Podcast to provide some insight into Paltrow's regularly scrutinized wellness claims and accidental class war commentary—as well as her surprisingly savvy business instincts.
