John Mulaney actually fought three teens on TV — and lost

Express Tribune29-05-2025
Comedian John Mulaney followed through on his absurd promise to fight three teenage boys during the finale of his variety-style talk show Everybody's Live With John Mulaney, as originally reported by Bethy Squires for Vulture. Known for blending sketch comedy and satire, the show's outlandish premise culminated in a staged brawl that delighted fans and viewers alike.
After weeks of buildup and mock promotional hype, the fight took place on-air around 8:04 p.m. PST. Mulaney, suited up and ready, squared off against three teen boys in coordinated attacks. The teens used clever tactics — one repeatedly attempted to trip him — and eventually overpowered the comedian. As Mulaney tapped out, the crowd cheered and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony performed 'Tha Crossroads,' marking the teens' hilarious victory.
Celebrity guests including Joe Mande, Adam Sandler, Sean Penn, Richard Kind, and Saymo looked on from the sidelines as the chaos unfolded. One of the show's writers even brought a babysitter to witness the spectacle. Despite being a father of two, Mulaney didn't hold back — but the combined energy of the teenagers proved too much.
The surreal ending to Everybody's Live, which has blended offbeat stunts with musical numbers and sketch humor, was both comedic and bizarre. While there's no official word yet on the show's renewal, fans are already calling the finale one of the wildest moments in late-night comedy this year.
If this truly was the series finale, it's a memorable sendoff — a ridiculous, joyful punchline to Mulaney's unconventional talk show experiment.

Salt-N-Pepa accuse UMG of blocking masters ahead of Rock Hall induction

Hip-Hop pioneers Salt-N-Pepa have filed a lawsuit against Universal Music Group (UMG), accusing the label of withholding their original master recordings and removing their music from major U.S. streaming platforms. The group claims the actions are an attempt to undermine their upcoming Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction, scheduled for November 8, 2025, at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. According to the complaint, UMG has refused to return the two-inch physical master tapes containing the highest-quality versions of their albums and singles, despite multiple formal requests. The tapes remain in UMG's possession in a secure facility. Salt-N-Pepa argue these masters hold significant artistic and financial value. The dispute reportedly escalated after the group sought to reclaim their copyrights under Section 203 of the Copyright Act. The lawsuit alleges UMG responded by halting U.S. exploitation of their sound recordings, effectively removing hit tracks such as 'Push It' from streaming services. The group says this action has reduced their revenue and public visibility just months before their induction. Attorney Heidi G. Crikelair, representing Salt-N-Pepa, stated that UMG 'does not have the power to unilaterally decide when an artist is entitled to termination' and described the label's actions as pressure tactics. Salt-N-Pepa are seeking damages and the immediate return of their masters, accusing UMG of conversion and federal copyright violations. Known for breaking barriers as the first female rap group to go platinum in the U.S., they will become only the second female Hip-Hop act inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The case highlights ongoing tensions between artists and labels over ownership rights and control of music catalogs.

Machine Gun Kelly shares details about diet including water fasts: "I'll eat a couple times a week'

Machine Gun Kelly has drawn concern from fans after revealing details about his current eating habits. In a video interview posted by Instagram account HipHop-N-More, the 35-year-old said, 'I don't really eat. I just do water a bunch.' When asked by a group of men if he fasts, the artist confirmed with a nod. He explained, 'Like, I ate that burger 'cause we're streaming, and it's my man's s–t, you know?' When asked what he would have eaten otherwise, he replied, 'Probably water.' MGK then clarified his regular routine: 'Yeah, sometimes. I'll eat, like, a couple times a week.' He elaborated that his meals typically consist of 'bone broth with kimchi and sauerkraut,' citing their probiotic content. He added that he occasionally drinks celery juice and coconut water, and also stated, 'Coffee and cigarettes' are part of his daily intake. Kimchi and sauerkraut are fermented foods known for containing probiotics but are low in essential macronutrients. Bone broth is often consumed for its mineral and collagen content but is not a complete source of nutrition. MGK, who shares two children with Emma Cannon and Megan Fox, also celebrated one year of sobriety in August 2024. Reactions to his remarks online included comments expressing concern around disordered eating and malnourishment.

Stephen Colbert to appear as fictional late-night host on CBS series Elsbeth

Former Late Show host Stephen Colbert will make a guest appearance in Season 3 of CBS's crime‐comedy series Elsbeth, where he will play Scotty Bristol, host of the fictional show Way Late with Scotty Bristol. The role was first reported by Vulture and later confirmed by Variety. The appearance was pitched during a 2025 interview when Elsbeth star Wendell Pierce visited The Late Show. During their exchange, Colbert joked that he wanted to guest star, perhaps even playing a corpse, and Pierce teased, 'I can make that happen.' The third season of Elsbeth is set to premiere on October 12, 2025, and production reportedly began before CBS announced the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert (which will end in May 2026 for financial reasons). CBS declined to comment on the appearance, and Colbert's representatives have not issued a statement. His role on Elsbeth marks a continuation of his late-night persona, but in a fictional setting, despite the news that his real-world talk show is ending.
