Kelly Ripa jokes about taking ‘indecent photos' in front of David Muir's ABC portrait
Muir, who earned his third consecutive Emmy for World News Tonight, appeared on the show to discuss his career and the network's move to its new headquarters at 7 Hudson Square in New York City. Ripa and her husband and co-host, Mark Consuelos, shared laughs with Muir over his reputation as "Commander Handsome" and the larger-than-life images of anchors now decorating the ABC studio walls.
Ripa revealed that she and Consuelos have 'unfettered access' to the building and joked that they often admire Muir's portraits. The conversation took a playful turn when Ripa confessed, 'I have some very indecent photos of me standing in front of your picture that I can't show on the air because they told me it was not suitable for broadcast.'
Consuelos added to the moment by joking that 'HR was right next to her' when the photos were taken. Muir responded in kind, recalling other playful moments and teasing Ripa about prior photo offers.
Despite the laughs, the hosts also praised Muir's accomplishments. Muir said he was proud to let his team accept the Emmy in his absence, acknowledging their hard work over the past 11 years amid increasingly serious news cycles.

Keanu takes on Cadillac
Hot on the heels of Brad Pitt's recently released film F1: The Movie, another Hollywood star is set to front a behind-the-scenes series on Cadillac's journey to join the F1 grid next year, reported AFP. Canadian screen actor Keanu Reeves, a motorsport fan, is to present a multi-episode production that will focus on the team's development of staff, cars and race team through a two-year process. Cadillac was confirmed as the sport's 11th team for 2026 in March. Reeves, 60, presented the Emmy award-winning 2023 documentary on Ross Brawn's eponymous team's success in beating the odds to win the title in 2009. "Reeves rejoins the production team from North One with his own KR+SH production company for this new series, serving as host and executive producer mere months after his International Emmy-award win for the acclaimed Disney+ docuseries Brawn: The Impossible Formula 1 Story," producers said in a statement, as per The Hollywood Reporter. According to the creative team, the docuseries promises "to capture the ultimate story of sporting jeopardy in the high-octane world of Formula 1 and offer audiences a trackside seat for the whole ride." The star of Speed and The Matrix said he felt honoured and excited to tell the Cadillac story and "bring audiences into the heart of this journey and to showcase what it takes to participate in one of the most exclusive sports arenas in the world." Reeves, who has an extensive collection of motorcycles and has taken part in a professional car race, the Toyota GR Cup, in Indianapolis, is not expected to follow Pitt's example and sample the thrill of driving an F1 car. Pitt, 61, who reached a top speed of 197 mph in a test at Austin, Texas, in June, said recently that he wanted to "go back ... I want to hit 200!" McLaren boss Zak Brown, whose team supplied the car he drove, said he expected to see him return and repeat the experience.

‘X-Files' composer Mark Snow dies at 78 in Connecticut
Mark Snow, the Emmy-nominated television composer best known for creating the iconic theme for The X-Files, has died at the age of 78. He passed away Friday at his home in Connecticut, according to the Film Music Society. Snow, born Martin Fulterman, was one of television's most prolific and influential composers. Over his decades-long career, he scored more than 200 episodes of The X-Files, along with its two feature films. His eerie, minimalist theme for the series became a surprise chart hit in the 1990s, reaching the top 10 in several European countries. In addition to The X-Files, Snow composed music for hit shows including Blue Bloods, Ghost Whisperer, Smallville, Hart to Hart, and T.J. Hooker. He was nominated for 15 Emmy Awards, with recognition for his work on miniseries like Something About Amelia and Helter Skelter. Trained at Juilliard, Snow began his music career in the 1970s, transitioning from orchestral to electronic scores. He was known for creating entire soundtracks in his home studio using synthesizers and samplers—an innovation that shaped modern TV scoring. Snow also worked on French director Alain Resnais' final four films, earning a César Award nomination in 2007 for Private Fears in Public Places. His film credits include Ernest Saves Christmas, Crazy in Alabama, and The New Mutants. He received ASCAP's Golden Note Award in 2005 and a Television Academy Career Achievement Award in 2014. Mark Snow is survived by his wife, Glynnis, three daughters, and grandchildren. His legacy lives on in the unforgettable music that defined generations of television storytelling.

Neil Druckmann exits HBO's ‘The Last of Us' series to focus on new game project
Neil Druckmann, co-creator of HBO's The Last of Us, has announced his departure from the acclaimed television series. In a statement shared via Naughty Dog's official Instagram, Druckmann said he is stepping away from his creative role on the show to focus fully on upcoming projects at the studio, including directing and writing a new game titled Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. 'With work completed on Season 2 and before any meaningful work starts on Season 3, now is the right time for me to transition my complete focus to Naughty Dog,' Druckmann said. He added that co-creating the HBO adaptation has been a career highlight, praising collaborator Craig Mazin and the entire cast and crew for their dedication to faithfully adapting the beloved video game franchise. Druckmann played a central role in the development of The Last of Us video games at Naughty Dog before co-creating the television adaptation with Mazin, known for his Emmy-winning series Chernobyl. Since its debut in 2023, the show has received widespread acclaim and earned 24 Primetime Emmy nominations. Season 2 aired earlier this year, and HBO confirmed a third season in April. Druckmann will retain an executive producer credit. Mazin praised Druckmann's vision and partnership in a separate statement, saying, 'It's been a creative dream to work with Neil and bring his brilliant work to life on HBO. I'm beyond excited to play his next game.' Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet was first announced in December, with Tati Gabrielle set to star and music by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. No release date has been confirmed. Though stepping back from the series, Druckmann's creative legacy will continue to shape The Last of Us as it moves forward.
