CBS Delivers 2 More Shocking Show Cancellations, Reveals 1 Spinoff Will Not Be Moving Forward
CBS has delivered another shocking blow to the TV lineup amid the ongoing list of the network's cancellations and show renewals.
On Tuesday, April 22, it was announced that Poppas's House has been canceled. The show, starring Damon Wayans Sr. and Damon Wayans Jr., only lasted for one season.
Damon Sr., 64, spoke out in a post shared on Instagram after the news was made public.
'Creating poppas house was such a beautiful journey,' he penned in a lengthy caption. 'My heart is full as I say thank you to every single person who made Poppa's House such a meaningful experience. To the incredible cast you brought so much heart, soul, and joy to every scene. It was an absolute honor to share the screen with you and create something special together. To the writers, producers, directors, and the entire crew you were the heartbeat of this show. Thank you for your dedication, your passion, and for showing up every day with love and commitment. You made the set feel like home.'
'A very special thank you to my son, Damon Jr. working beside you has been one of the greatest joys of my life,' he continued. 'And to my incredible family, siblings, children and grandchildren, nieces and nephews, who showed up as writers, guest stars, and creative forces you made this journey even more meaningful. It's such a blessing to have so much love on one set and to be able to create and laugh with family and friends.'
He concluded the post by saying, 'Though Poppa's House is coming to a close, I'm walking away with deep gratitude, lifelong friendships, and unforgettable memories. This show gave me more than I could've ever imagined,' adding, 'To everyone who watched, supported, and believed in us thank you. Your love means everything. On to the next chapter, with nothing but love in my heart.'
Poppas's House was not the only show to get the axe in the latest batch of cancellation announcements. It was also reported that the network will not move forward with the reality competition series The Summit, canceling the show after just one season.
Additionally, the untitled spinoff of The Neighborhood about characters Malcolm and Marty will not be moving forward at the network, per TVLine. The second half of The Neighborhood season 7 finale was reportedly supposed to serve as the backdoor pilot for the spinoff, which is now defunct.
However, another spinoff of The Neighborhood titled Crutch was previously greenlit. The show is set to star Tracy Morgan and is still moving forward.
'Crutch will be navigating the ups and downs of having his kids and grandkids back under one roof, and you know if I am doing this, there will be plenty of laughs along the way. I am so happy to be able to do this with my brother Cedric the Entertainer, [series creator] Owen Smith, and the rest of the amazing crew we have put together,' Tracy said in a previous statement. 'Get ready for your new favorite show!'
CBS previously announced that The Neighborhood would be ending with season 8, which is expected to air during the 2025-2026 broadcast season. Season 7 is currently airing on TV.

From film sets to sports stadiums, Bollywood actors are changing the game
When it comes to ambition, Indian film stars are no strangers to reinvention. And now, a growing number of them are making headlines not for their roles in films, but for their strategic forays into the high-stakes world of professional sport. This isn't about a passing passion or publicity stunt — it's a savvy business decision that's reshaping how India consumes both entertainment and sport. Of course, it helps that today's sports presentation is slicker than ever before. Anchors, presenters, and commentators have evolved into celebrities in their own right. Nikita Anand, who first made her mark as Miss India Universe and an actor, has emerged as the most articulate and celebrated presenter in Indian sports broadcasting. She has been a part of major shows like the Indian Super League on Star Sports and Cup Tak on Star News. Her work consistently garners appreciation on Instagram, where fans praise not just her fluency but also the emotional intelligence she brings to her presentation. 'Presenting sport isn't just about stats and scores,' she says. 'It's about capturing the moment, connecting with the energy, and giving the audience something real to hold on to.' Which is exactly what India's actors-turned-sports-investors are doing. Whether it's a stadium full of fans or a streaming audience at home, they're building experiences. They're building brands. And more than anything, they're betting on the future of Indian sport. This shift has taken centre stage over the past decade. It began, unmistakably, with the Indian Premier League. Cricket has always been more than just a game in India — it's religion, celebration, and business rolled into one. When Shah Rukh Khan picked up ownership of the Kolkata Knight Riders in 2008, alongside Juhi Chawla and Jay Mehta, it wasn't just a glitzy endorsement. It was a business masterstroke. 'Sport is no longer operating in a silo. It's entertainment, it's performance, and it's powerful storytelling. Those familiar with cinema instinctively understand these elements — which is why the connection with sport comes so naturally,' says Nikita. Take Preity Zinta, who made headlines as the co-owner of Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings). Or Shilpa Shetty, whose involvement with Rajasthan Royals gave the team an extra sheen of stardust in the early IPL seasons. Their investment was financial, sure, but equally emotional and promotional — the fans followed, and so did the sponsors. But cricket is only one chapter. The new story is being written in football, kabaddi, and beyond. Abhishek Bachchan jumped into the action with Jaipur Pink Panthers in the Pro Kabaddi League. John Abraham made his move with NorthEast United FC in the Indian Super League, showing a genuine commitment to building football in a region rich in sporting potential. Ranbir Kapoor took co-ownership of Mumbai City FC, which has gone on to make impressive strides on the pitch and off it. 'There's real involvement here — participating in team decisions, engaging with strategy, meeting fans, and promoting sports at the grassroots. It's star power and substance,' Nikita explains. What's emerging is a pattern. Indian actors are no longer waiting for scripts — they're writing their own, and sport is proving to be an exciting new plotline. The shift is being driven by more than just passion. Sport is one of India's fastest-growing industries. With a young population, increasing urbanisation, and rising media consumption, the commercial upside is vast. Ticket sales, merchandise, broadcasting rights, streaming content — it's a complete entertainment ecosystem. 'Understanding audience psychology plays a huge role — knowing how to build loyalty, how to sell a moment, and how to turn emotion into energy. That's what great sport is all about too. The synergy is undeniable,' adds Nikita. From cricket fields to kabaddi courts, from football turf to business boardrooms, these stars are stepping into new arenas. Not to perform, but to participate — to shape what comes next. As Nikita Anand puts it, 'The stage has changed, but the showmanship, the intent and drive remain.' And now, it's game on.

Jennifer Garner reveals her secrets to being 53, flirty, and thriving in candid interview
Jennifer Garner feels she's 53 going on… 53. The actress got candid on self-love and why at this stage in her life, she's not looking to be any younger. When asked by Harper's Bazzar in an interview published on Friday, what age she feels like in her head, Garner quipped: 'I don't know!' Advertisement 7 Jennifer Garner. 'Part of me is, like, really 53 because I've really earned every minute of every day of every year. I don't want to be younger,' she confessed. 'I'm very grateful to be exactly this age. I'm trying to soak it up. I feel like I'm living in my power. I'm living in my wisdom. I'm living in my joy and my capacity to do and get things done. So I'm just very aware of my luck and the grace that's been shown to me.' Garner, who is mom to kids Violet, 19, Seraphina Rose, 16, and Samuel, 13, with ex-husband Ben Affleck, added that as she's gotten older, there are more aspects of her physical appearance that she loves. Advertisement 'Part of the gift of being my mother's daughter is that I haven't spent a lot of time stressing about my physical appearance,' the '13 Going on 30' alum admitted. 'I don't spend a lot of time in the mirror. Sometimes I could spend more time in the mirror; I'm sure I've had things in my teeth or a bump in my hair.' 7 Jennifer Garner smiles in nature. Instagram/@ 'So there are pluses and minuses to it. If you look through, like, the last 20-plus years of paparazzi pictures of me, you would see images and say, 'You would be best served by spending more time thinking about what you look like.'' As the years go by, Garner, who's been in front of the camera since landing a part on the drama 'Felicity' in 1998, has given herself grace. Advertisement 'But the flip side of that is that I'm not really that stressed about aging or things changing,' she stressed. 'I have my moments, of course, where I'll look in the monitor at work and be like, 'Who is that? Ah, that's me!' But I think less is more, as far as focusing on yourself too much in that way.' 7 Jennifer Garner poses in overalls. Instagram/@ 'What are you going to do?' Garner continued. 'I want to age. I want to live to be 100. I don't expect to look at 100 like I look today. I want to wear every single bit of those 100 years and feel great about them. But what do I like better about myself? Well, I don't know that I used to think about it at all, but I'm more friendly to myself in general.' As for what the 'Family Switch' star swears by, she says: sunscreen. Advertisement 'Sunscreen ages well,' said Garner. 'My dermatologist friend Doris Day says nothing looks better in your 50s than sunscreen in your 20s. And as someone who was not a sunbather in my 20s—I just didn't have that patience—I luckily did wear sunscreen. I can tell you, the products have only gotten better, every single iteration, every single year, and I'm grateful for them now that I'm in my 50s.' 7 Jennifer Garner in a flower field. Instagram/@ One thing Garner isn't diving into for the time being is cosmetic procedures. Instead, she's opting for good skincare – much like products from her longtime partnership with Neutrogena. 'Well, I don't judge whatever makes anyone look or feel their best,' she told the outlet. 'I haven't needed it yet, but I can't say that I haven't said to doctors before, 'Do I need to do this?' And I've had really nice doctors who have just been like, 'No.' So, God only knows 10 years from now what the conversation will be. I'm not there yet.' Garner added, 'But as far as injectables go, I think just find somebody fantastic and proceed with caution. I don't do a ton, and Botox doesn't work very well for me; that's why I wear bangs a lot. I like to be able to move my forehead, and it's such a big part of my face. I have, like, a five-head.' 7 Jennifer Garner swimming in a pool. Instagram/jennifergarner These days, what keeps the 'Alias' vet feeling good in her skin is 'working out with people who are younger and more fit than I am.' And the best part of aging is simple for Garner. As she put it, 'Growing older is the best! It's like you're more confident and you worry less. I had no idea how much I was going to love having teenagers. They're just so smart and funny. They make me laugh, and they're so sweet. ' Advertisement Although sometimes, there are those every day teenage tifs. Last month, in an academic research paper that Violet wrote for Yale University's Global Health Review, the college student detailed some opposing views she has with Garner. 7 Jennifer Garner picks apples. Instagram/@ The mother-daughter duo had different reactions to the Pacific Palisades fires, with Garner being stunned and Violet feeling that due to climate change, it was inevitable. Advertisement 'I spent the January fires in Los Angeles arguing with my mother in a hotel room,' Violet penned. According to the essay, Garner 'was shell-shocked, astonished at the scale of destruction in the neighborhood where she raised myself and my siblings.' 'I was surprised at her surprise: as a lifelong Angelena and climate-literate member of generation Z, my question had not been whether the Palisades would burn but when,' Violet wrote. 7 Jennifer Garner. Instagram/@ Advertisement During the wildfires, Garner volunteered with the World Central Kitchen and revealed that a friend who she knew through church died in the blaze. 'I feel almost guilty walking through my house,' she said at the time.
