You can celebrate the 20th anniversary of ‘It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' with the cast
On Tuesday, July 1, at 7:30pm, the Paley Center for Media will fete the longest-running live-action comedy series in TV history during its latest PaleyLive program: It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia 20th Anniversary Celebration! That's right, the audacious dark comedy has been around for 20 years now—that's 170 episodes and counting—and you can get a sneak peek at the newest episode alongside the cast and executive producers.
Rob McElhenney (Ronald 'Mac' MacDonald), Charlie Day (Charlie Kelly), Glenn Howerton (Dennis Reynolds), Kaitlin Olson (Dee Reynolds) and Danny DeVito (Frank Reynolds) will all be on hand for a conversation after a screening of the 17th-season premiere inside the theater. (McElhenney, Day and Howerton additionally serve as executive producers on the show.)
That means you'll be seeing the episode eight days before it premieres on FXX July 9, and hearing firsthand the stars' insight on the show's remarkable run. The episode in question, 'The Gang F***s Up Abbott Elementary,' is the second part of a highly anticipated crossover with the Emmy-winning ABC mockumentary.
'Since 2005, 'the gang' from Paddy's Pub have entertained legions of passionate fans with their high-spirited antics, and we look forward to a fun-filled evening that is sure to be as hilarious as the show itself,' says Maureen J. Reidy, president and CEO of the Paley Center for Media.
If you need to brush up on your South Philly history before the new season drops, the Paley Archive in the Beverly Hills Public Library now boasts past episodes of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, thanks to FX (or, you know, they're on Hulu). But the archive is well worth a visit—it boasts 160,000 titles all in one place, from history-shaping news broadcasts to some of the most popular TV shows of all time. (And, unlike Hulu, it's free.)
Tickets for the PaleyLive event go on sale to the public this Friday, June 6, at noon on paleycenter.org, and they're expected to sell out quickly. Paley Center members get access a day early, though, so if you want to make sure to reserve a spot, you could always spring for a membership (starting at $75).

Period drama dubbed 'magnificent slop' finally streams all 8 episodes
Fans are obsessed with the third season of The Gilded Age after hailing it 'everything they could have hoped for'. The show, from Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes, immerses viewers in the upper echelons of New York society at the turn of the 19th century, where wealth, status and scandal ruled supreme. The Emmy-nominated series has had a rocky time since it was first announced in 2012. Almost eight years later, it had to shut down production just days before filming the first season when the pandemic started. Then, in 2024, one of the lead stars Carrie Coon (The White Lotus) admitted there was a strong sense that the HBO show may not even return at all – ultimately she credited the fans with saving the show. Reflecting on the time before season two, the actor told Deadline: 'We were on the bubble. We really didn't think we were going to come back. Our options had lapsed. It looked very unlikely, but it was the streaming. 'It was the number of people watching the show and loving the show.' Then, in February 2025, she reiterated that the show had been in perilous waters. 'The gays saved it,' Coon joked with Entertainment Tonight. 'Thank you, right now, you saved it. We would not have a season three without you.' After a one-and-a-half-year wait, fans finally sank their teeth into a brand new season and, with its rejuvented success, can look forward to a confirmed fourth season as well. As usual, we will see tensions boil as old and new money clash with Coon's character Bertha returning alongside Christine Baranski, Cynthia Nixon, Morgan Spector, Louisa Jacobson, Denée Benton, Taissa Farmiga. The synopsis for the third season reads: 'Bertha sets her sights on a prize that would elevate the family to unimaginable heights while George risks everything on a gambit that could revolutionise the railroad industry — if it doesn't ruin him first. 'Across the street, the Brook household is thrown into chaos as Agnes refuses to accept Ada's new position as lady of the house. As all of New York hastens toward the future, their ambition may come at the cost of what they truly hold dear.' Aka… salacious drama, what's not to love? The eighth and final episode landed on Sunday night, with viewers who have been holding out until the end finally switch their brains off and binge all the episodes. And, you're in for a wild ride. 'It's slop, but it's magnificent slop,' Han T wrote in a five-star review for Rotten Tomatoes. 'This show continues to get stronger with each season. Aside from the excellent writing, the show's authenticity to the time period through production design, sets, and costumes is a nice touch. Many plot seeds that were planted before finally come to fruition,' Eddie S shared. 'The Gilded Age writers' room after writing line after line of impeccable dialogue for every single actor in today's episode… Absolute masterclass,' X user ShreyaPahwa wrote. 'Just finished the episode — it was so intense and uncomfortable. Some were happy, some were heartbroken. Such a powerful start. Now I can't wait for the next one. Every single scene had me hooked!' jxsecrett said. 'The Season 3 premiere of The Gilded Age was everything I could've hoped for. The emotions, the one-liners, the setup—all of it. We're in for such a ride for the next seven weeks,' Gissane Sophia added. 'The Gilded Age is back and it's still amazing,' Grumpyduck declared. 'The Gilded Age is truly terrific. Egos grow & power shifts in 1880s New York high society,' Anthony Shannon echoed. The new season had already raked in rave reviews ahead of its premiere. Variety has praised it as the 'best season yet'. 'The Gilded Age no longer feels torn between ogling the past and honouring its flaws. Three seasons in, it's on firmer footing than ever,' the review continued. Roger Egbert said the new season 'dazzles and delights', and Slate said the 'new season is peppered with twists and scandal, heartbreak and horror – and, of course, more extravagant hats than Churchill Downs has ever seen.' For those still needing to catch up, there are plenty of glowing reviews of seasons past from fans as well. 'Awesome interweaving of real-life events and characters make this show exceptional and the acting is stellar. The most sumptuous costumes and sets I have ever seen top it off; it is a veritable feast for the eyes,' Google reviews user Fleur Purdeu said. 'If you're a fan of Downton Abbey, Selfridges, or Poldark then this is absolutely a must-see. One of my favorite things about this show is the world-building and how it offers an intricately detailed glimpse into a period of American history that seems long forgotten, yet was an undeniably defining turning point in society,' Michael Swenson added. More Trending 'This show has a great build-up and gets so juicy!!' Angel Russell teased. Although some have also called it 'amateurish' and 'predicatable' so be warned that this may not be to everyone's taste. The Gilded Age seasons one, two and three are available to stream in full on Sky and NOW. A version of this article was first published on June 23, 2025. Got a story?

New TV footage analysis appears to reveal the TRUTH behind Hannah Hampton's water bottle claims after Spain's goalkeeper accused her of LYING
Footage of England's European Championship-winning penalty shoot-out with Spain has come under scrutiny after Spanish goalkeeper Cata Coll disputed Hannah Hampton's claim that she had thrown her opponent's cheat sheet into the crowd. The England international was near-pitch perfect from the spot, saving two penalties from Mariona Caldentey and Ballon d'Or winner Aitana Bonmati. Salma Paralleulo missed her attempt to confirm England's successful trophy defence, with Hampton one of the standouts of the campaign. In the wake of the victory, Hampton shared that she had noticed that her opposite number's guide for where England players might place their penalties was taped to her water bottle, and subsequently disposed of it. But after the interview surfaced, Coll took to X to mock the claim, writing: 'Okay, okay, calm down, calm down. At least if it were true...' Now, a Spanish commenter has posted on social media a theory defending Coll's statement, circling what they believe to be the Spain No1's bottle wrapped in a towel present throughout the shoot. 'Well, I've watched the replay of the penalty shootout and...' the account began, before labelling images in a carousel which appeared to show Coll carrying the bottle wrapped in a towel. Something which appeared to be the towel was present to the right of goal for the duration of the shoot-out. But there were additional unwrapped bottles in the back of the goal and to the left of it, close to the advertising hoardings, and it was unclear as to whether Coll had the bottle wrapped in the towel after reaching the goal itself before the shoot-out. Fans commenting on the post suggested that the account was perhaps taking the revelation from Hampton a little too seriously, wondering if Hampton had made the comment as a 'joke'. Another account suggested that Hampton may have thought she was throwing the correct bottle out of reach, but instead selected one of the other branded bottles to toss out of harm's way. Sitting down with talkSPORT, Hampton had explained: 'The Spanish keeper had it (the penalty information) on her bottle, so I thought when she was going in goal, I'd just pick it up and chuck it into the English fans so she can't have it. 'I don't ever put it on a bottle because anyone can do that so I put it on my arm.' An incredulous Sam Matterface replied: 'Picked up her bottle and threw it?' Hampton cleverly concealed her information on the Spanish takers by writing on her arm 'Yeah, it wasn't hard,' Hampton continued. 'When she's gone in the goal, it's on its own isn't it? It's in the towel.' When Coll returned to her towel, she was visibly confused to find a replacement bottle - which Hampton had put there - but no notes, and was left searching for her original one. 'She was walking back to take the penalty and I was walking the other way and she was so confused, and I was just trying not to burst out laughing, being like, "I don't know what's happening!".' Hampton's heroics between the sticks have since earnt her a nomination for the Yachine Trophy at this year's Ballon d'Or ceremony.

Halle Berry's ex is skewered by fans for saying he left her because she didn't cook, clean, or seem 'motherly'
Halle Berry 's ex was slammed by fans of the actress after he revealed the reasons why he 'decided to leave' her back then. Berry, 58, was previously married to David Justice for four years from 1993 to 1997. Justice, a former baseball outfielder, said that he ended their marriage because she was not as 'motherly' as he had expected. The MLB star, 59, said on the All the Smoke podcast with co-host Matt Barnes while reflecting on how his private life became highly publicized because of his past romance with the Catwoman star. On the recent podcast episode, he admitted that he used to think: 'If we have kids, is this the woman I want to have kids with and build a family with? And at that time, as a young guy, she don't cook, don't clean, don't really seem, like, motherly.' He said that eventually he 'realized this isn't the person I wanted to spend my life with' but added that he later began to understand that the marriage could have been saved if he 'knew about therapy.' However, his comments still sparked outrage as Berry's fans appeared to be appalled that he once wanted her to take on a stereotypical housewife role amid her busy acting job as her career in entertainment was taking off at the time. 'It's just that I, because I was young, had only been in honestly one real relationship before her. My knowledge and my understanding and my wisdom around relationships just wasn't vast.' Many fans slammed Justice, a three-time MLB All-Star and two-time World Series winner who played with the Atlanta Braves and the New York Yankees during his 14 seasons in the league, for the 'audacity' of wanting the Oscar-winning actress to 'cook and clean.' 'Motherly? She was his partner, not his mom,' one social media user wrote on X as a slew of fans came to Berry's defense when Justice's comments went viral online. 'Imagine expecting Halle Berry, the first Black actress to earn $20m for a movie, the #1 most desirable woman in the world for decades, the first Black woman to win an Oscar, to stay home to cook and clean. Men and audacity,' another person tweeted. 'David Justice tryna make HALLE BERRY cook & clean is CRAZY work. TF was he thinkin,' a fan added alongside a GIF expressing their dismay. 'Halle Berry, a household name, was supposed to take time away from her breadwinning career to 'cook and clean' for a man I've never heard of?! LMAOOOO! 'According to their net worths, he needed to be the one throwing the apron on and cleaning the house too,' one person wrote about the MLB star and the famed actress. Another person tweeted: 'David really expected THEE Halle Berry in her prime to be a stay at home housewife. Talk about an all-time fumble for Mr. Justice.' 'Motherly? She was his partner, not his mom,' one social media user wrote on X as a slew of fans came to Berry's defense when Justice's comments went viral online 'Men and audacity,' another person tweeted in response to the clip of Justice saying he 'couldn't see [Halle Berry] as the mother of his kids' One person tweeted a laughing emoji and wrote: 'David Justice dead a** married Halle Berry and wanted her to fold clothes. Catwoman pushing a vacuum?' Another fan tweeted: 'David's Justice comment about Halle Berry says more about his preferences than her worth. Plenty of great moms don't fit the "cook, clean, motherly" stereotype. Sometimes it's just a mismatch, not a measure of value.' At the time of publication, Berry has not yet responded to his public comments from the recent podcast appearance. In the same episode, Justice also said that he was upset with his ex-wife for not clarifying that he was not the ex she had that once physically abused her. He also conceded that he deeply hurt her by leaving her suddenly rather than 'massaging' it or seeking 'therapy' in an attempt to mend their relationship. Back in 1996, Berry told People that she had an abusive, unnamed ex, who once struck her in the head and ended up puncturing her eardrum, causing her to suffer from hearing loss. 'She let the world think it was me,' Justice said in the podcast episode. 'I thought she was dead wrong for that.' He later added about their marriage, reflecting on their split decades later: 'I look back on that situation, and I'm like, that girl really did love me.' 'Halle Berry, a household name, was supposed to take time away from her breadwinning career to 'cook and clean' for a man I've never heard of?! LMAOOOO,' one person wrote about the MLB star and the famed actress Another fan tweeted: 'David's Justice comment about Halle Berry says more about his preferences than her worth. Plenty of great moms don't fit the "cook, clean, motherly" stereotype. Sometimes it's just a mismatch, not a measure of value' 'And I can see why she would be so mad at me. Because imagine if you really love somebody and they tell you they want to break up, and there's nothing you can say to get them back. That had to have been tough on her. 'I didn't ease out,' he added before explaining that he was just 'gone' and 'could have massaged that better.' Justice has been married to wife Rebecca Justice for 24 years and shares two children with her; meanwhile, Berry has been in a long-term relationship with Van Hunt for five years. She was previously married to Oliver Martinez from 2013 to 2016 and also to her first husband Eric Benet from 2001 to 2005. She is a mother to two children — daughter Nahla, 17, whose dad is Gabriel Aubry, and son Maceo, 11, with Martinez.
