NBCUniversal announced on Thursday that it's raising the price of its ad-supported Peacock Premium from $7.99 to $10.99 per month, while its ad-free Premium Plus plan will go from $13.99 per month to $16.99 per month. News of the price hike was first reported by Vulture.
For new customers, the price increase will go into effect on July 23rd. Existing subscribers will see the hike on or after August 22nd, depending on when their next bill is. Peacock's yearly plans will see similar increases, with Peacock Premium now priced at $109.99 per year (up from $79.99) and Premium Plus costing $169.99 (up from $139.99).

Who is... Fishers firefighter Jeff Hague? The next contestant on Jeopardy! Here's when to watch

Jeff Hague, a firefighter with the City of Fishers, is bringing the heat to the Alex Trebek stage when he appears on the popular quiz show "Jeopardy!" The Carmel resident will compete Monday, July 21, according to the show's official website. Hague faces a stay-at-home mom from Connecticut and 12-time defending champion, Scott Riccardi, an engineer from New Jersey. Here's what we know. Hague has served the City of Fishers as a firefighter for more than 20 years and was recently promoted in late April to the rank of Captain. The firefighter and paramedic has kindled a long burning ambition to appear on "Jeopardy!," according to a social media post the department put out Sunday. "We're proud to cheer on one of our own," a spokesperson said, calling Hague's appearance on the hit quiz show "living a lifelong dream." Hague's chances of success might be extinguished though depending on well he does against Riccardi, who breezed through Friday's competition. Those familiar with famed Science Fiction author Isaac Asimov might have done well during Friday's Final "Jeopardy!" question. The category was "Science Words" and the clue was: "Expanding on a word created by a Czech playwright, Asimov coined this term in 1941 for a branch of science that didn't exist then." The answer: "What is Robotics?" All the contestants got it right but it was Riccardi, with a commanding lead of $22,400, who won the game. He wagered $8,000 and ended the night with $30,400. His total winnings so far are $312,501. "Jeopardy!" airs nightly at 7:30 p.m. ET Monday through Saturday on WTHR in Indianapolis. Visit to see when and where the show airs in your area. You can stream episodes of "Jeopardy!" online with a subscription to Philo. Watch 'Jeopardy!' on Philo "Jeopardy!" doesn't stream on Peacock, but with a premium subscription, you can watch the broadcast live. Watch 'Jeopardy!' on Peacock Contestant Brad Rutter won $4,938,436 — including tournaments — on "Jeopardy!," the all-time record amount of money awarded, according to the show's website. Ken Jennings is second on the list with $4,370,700. Ken Jennings won a record 74 consecutive games, according to the "Jeopardy!" website.

Maya Jama looks incredible in tiny crotchet bikini as she shares steamy insight into Ruben Dias holiday

In case you need a reminder that Maya Jama looks absolutely fire in whatever she wears, the Love Island host just shared a series of holiday snaps from a recent trip with boyfriend Ruben Dias. And yes, she is GLOWING. Another day, another incredible Maya bikini snap. The 30-year-old, who went public with her footballer partner earlier this year, has just taken a few days off in Ibiza. To celebrate the trip, she shared a carousel of pics with her 3.2million Instagram followers with the caption, "La isla de la magia." In English, this translates to 'The island of magic' - and judging by Maya's photos, we'd have to agree. In one, she's sat on the back of a boat overlooking some crystal clear water. While in another, she and Ruben snuggle up to each other, looking completely in love. But it's her bikini pictures that fans can't stop looking at, thanks to the teeny weeny crotchet bikini, khaki combo and on-trend brown two piece she's gone for. Scroll to see the three different looks: "You 😍" one person commented, while another put, "So so much gorgeousnessss 😍😍😍" Someone else said, "Beaut babes!! ❤️" and "u radiate joy", while someone else concluded, "Cute AF babes ❤️" and "You are the most beautiful woman in the world outside & inside 😍🔥" Couldn't have said it better ourselves. This comes as Maya returns to the Love Island villa to reprise hosting duties, heading to Mallorca every time she's needed for a recoupling or a dumping. She recently called out one of the boys for his behaviour, after he made an unnecessary dig at an ex following Casa Amor. Knew we could rely on you, Maya!

Jamie Lee Curtis Crashes Bowen Yang And Matt Rogers Interview

This past week, Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers hosted their annual Las Culturistas Culture Awards in Los Angeles. Spun off from their same-name podcast, the ceremony celebrates the "most iconic and consequential moments of the year" through over 100 categories. At one point in a red carpet interview with Vulture, Bowen and Matt were asked to share a pop culture quote that lives in their heads. "You know what just jumped to my head?" Matt said. "Legally Blonde. Elle Woods. 'What, like, it's hard?'" "Mine is gonna be Julia Roberts in Erin Brockovich," Bowen answered, before giving a spirited impression of Julia's "underrated" line, "'I'm not talking to you, bitch!" Overhearing Bowen, Jamie turned away from her own apparent interview and walked over to them, miming to lower their voices while seemingly shushing them. "Whoa," she said, as Matt excitedly told Jamie, "We're quoting Julia Roberts!" Continuing to lower her hand, Jamie said, "Listen, bring the whole fucking thing down." "You're gonna hate the show then," Bowed said, as Matt added, "We'll sit you in the back." Writing underneath the video, one fan wondered, "Jamie Lee Curtis what was that." Another wrote she "better [had] been doing a bit........." "the audacity to interrupt someone's interview at Their Own Award Show just to shush them is insane" an X user wrote. Another said, "🥴😩 this made me CRINGGGGGGGEEEEEE holy shit. Wow." "This is the same as getting shushed," someone else stated, before calling Jamie's behavior "fucking triggering." "I really don't like the way she's talking to them," an Instagram user agreed. One fan wondered, "Does she know whose show she's at? Like wtf." As someone else shared, "She truly repulses me." People also praised Matt and Bowen's responses to Jamie. Yikes! So far, Jamie hasn't responded to the criticism, but we've reached out to her reps for comment. Until then, tell me what you make of the clip below.
