Get two months of Paramount+ Essential or Premium for only $2
This is not just any old discount. It applies to both the ad-supported Essential plan and the ad-free Premium subscription. This saves new users $14 for Essential and a whopping $24 for Premium over two months. I suggest going with Premium because ads suck and you can always downgrade or cancel later once the regular price kicks in.
This deal also works for the Essential plan. $2 at Paramount
Paramount+ is a decent service and made our list of the best streaming platforms. It started as a home for all things Star Trek, but that particular bonus is shrinking all of the time. It was recently announced that Star Trek: Strange New Worlds will end after a truncated season five, leaving just the forthcoming Starfleet Academy . The third season of Strange New Worlds premieres on July 17.
It also hosts original programming like the Sonic-adjacent Knuckles TV show and the dad-friendly Tulsa King . Paramount owns CBS, so subscribers can also access much of that network's programming. This includes stuff like The Amazing Rac e, Blue Bloods and several CSI entries.
This offer will be available until July 13. There's just one caveat. Subscriptions will auto-renew if you forget to cancel. Set a reminder to kick in at the end of the second month.

How ‘The Naked Gun' reboot mocks former star O.J. Simpson
The gloves are off. The new 'Naked Gun' reboot, which opens in theaters Friday, doesn't shy away from the franchise's most controversial cast member: O.J. Simpson. For three movies of the 1980s and '90s police spoof series, Simpson, who died in 2024 at age 76, played Officer Nordberg. The fourth flick, starring Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson, acknowledges — and mocks — Simpson's 'Naked Gun' history. 3 O.J. Simpson starred in three 'Naked Gun' films with Leslie Nielsen (center) during the 1980s and '90s. ©Paramount/Courtesy Everett Coll In an early scene, Neeson, who plays Lt. Frank Drebin, Jr., the son of Leslie Nielsen's 'Police Squad' character, emotionally speaks to a photo of Nielsen hanging on the station's wall. 'Hi, Dad,' the 'Taken' star begins. Then the camera pans out to reveal a long line of other officers opening up to pictures of their own fathers — including Simpson's Nordberg. 'Hi, pops,' says actor Moses Jones as Nordberg, Jr. to Simpson's mug. After a beat, Jones comically looks directly into the camera, shakes his head back and forth and makes a 'nuh-uh' noise. 3 Liam Neeson plays Lieutenant Frank Drebin, Jr. AP Better known as a football player who played nine seasons with the Buffalo Bills, Simpson also had a modest acting career. He appeared in 'The Towering Inferno' with Paul Newman and Steve McQueen and on an episode of the miniseries 'Roots,' among other titles. But his biggest part was as Nordberg in the 'Naked Gun' trilogy. In fact, his last outing on the big screen, 'Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult,' hit theaters just three months before he was accused of killing ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman in Los Angeles, California. Simpson was acquitted in criminal court in 1995, but was found liable for their deaths during a civil trial in 1997. 3 Simpson attended the premiere of 'Naked Gun 33 1/2: The Final Insult' with ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson. Getty Images He would notch one more acting credit — filmed before the murders and ensuing trial — in Disney's TV series 'Adventures in Wonderland.' However, Simpson's episode, called 'White Rabbits Can't Jump,' was pulled from the air. And it is the sole 'Wonderland' chapter that's not available on Disney+. Simpson died of prostate cancer in 2004 while he was living in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Comedians hit back at liberal critics, claim ‘Late Show' cancellation will lead to even more Trump jokes
Chicago comedians argued on Tuesday that the cancellation of 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' will lead to more jokes about President Donald Trump, not fewer, in contrast with liberal critics' concerns. After CBS announced the left-leaning comedian's show being canceled weeks earlier, several people ranging from commentators to lawmakers called out the move as authoritarian, suggesting CBS bent the knee to Trump after recently settling a lawsuit. Though some believed that this could lead to either more censorship or political capitulation, comedians from the windy city, where Colbert had trained in comedy, largely believed the opposite. 'That would go for whoever is the president,' late night host Mark Bazer told the Chicago Sun-Times. 'That's the gig. My guess is there's very few comedians or late-night talk show hosts who are going to bend the knee.' Bazer added that Colbert can now 'take the gloves off' regarding his jokes against Trump without the pressure of maintaining his show. 3 Chicago-based comedians Mark Bazer and James Dugan claim that if anything, there' be more jokes about President Trump after CBS announced 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' will end in May 2026. AP 'We've all seen late-night talk shows over the years. It's a tradition to make fun of whoever's in power, like, that's what the job entails,' Bazer said. Local comic James Dugan, who frequently performs for the Chicago improv show Whirled News Tonight, told the Chicago Sun-Times that his team largely pulls jokes from the headlines, which have heavily featured Trump recently. In fact, he described concerns about an oversaturation of Trump jokes. 'A lot of times with our show in particular, we get four or five newspapers and spread them out,' Dugan said. 3 Many commentators and lawmakers called the move by CBS to cancel Colbert's show as authoritarian, after Paramount recently settled a lawsuit with Trump. 'And there is a little bit of a sense of like, should we take out the Trump stuff? Because people are kind of sick of hearing about it.' However, some comedians are still worried about what Colbert's cancellation could mean for comedy on a larger scale. 'The fact that a sitting public official is doing so much private litigation, and that it results in this type of thing — it's dangerous,' stand-up comic Eunji Kim told the Chicago Sun-Times. 3 Bazer told The Chicago Sun-Times that Colbert doesn't need to worry about making Trump jokes since his show will be ending next year, acknowledging that he can 'take the gloves off.' Despite the timing of the announcement, CBS and its parent company, Paramount, have said that the cancellation was a financial decision, not a political one. Insider sources have also said that the decision was made days before Paramount's settlement with Trump. Colbert himself has not shied away from attacking Trump in the weeks after his show's cancellation. Last week, he told Trump to 'go f— yourself' after the latter celebrated the end of 'The Late Show.'
