Netflix Tudum live host Sofia Carson has always had 'a seat at the table' with this streamer
We all know Sofia Carson is booked and busy, particularly with so many beloved Netflix projects like Purple Hearts, Carry-On and The Life List. But now she's adding live host to her Netflix resume, helming the 2025 Tudum event in Los Angeles on Saturday, which will stream live on the site. "It's been a really beautiful collaboration with Netflix and the production team," Carson highlighted to Yahoo Canada. "When they invited me to be the host of this event, it was such [an] easy yes." "We've had such a beautiful partnership over the years and this feels like a beautiful continuation of that. And so it's been a lot of creative meetings, a lot of bringing to life some exciting ideas, script writing. And then, of course, now this week we're getting into the nitty gritty of rehearsals and bringing to life some special moments." Carson is, like all of us, excited about a performance from Lady Gaga, in addition to more surprises that can't be revealed just yet. But she's also looking forward to appearances from Jenna Ortega for Wednesday, the Stranger Things cast, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, and to get an update on the upcoming season of Squid Game. But what really makes Netflix stand out amongst its competitors is that the company is bringing its fans in on the fun. Throwing an event that's open to fans to participate in-person, or stream from home around the world. "That's the beauty and the power behind Netflix is that it really is a family, and it's global, and fans are first and foremost, every day, but especially on Saturday," Carson said. "It's a global fan event. It's our love story to them, an ode to them, and a thank you to them for the love and extraordinary, endless support that they've given to us." "I hope that they feel celebrated and satiated with the information that we're going to give them, and the performances and all of the appearances." The host will also reveal more details about her upcoming movie My Oxford Year, starring and produced by Carson, who shares the screen with Corey Mylchreest. Carson plays Anna, an American who's fulfilling her childhood dream of attending the University of Oxford, but when she meets a charming local, Jamie (Mylchreest), and their lives shift. So what makes Netflix such an appealing company for Carson to continue to work with? Carson stressed that she really has felt supported as an artist, in front of and behind the camera. "It's an honour and a privilege to work for a company like Netflix and to create with them, and to be respected, not only as an actor, an executive producer, but now also a host," Carson said. "From the very first project that I did with them, where I was also a producer, which was Purple Hearts, I just really received a seat at the table, and behind-the-scenes and in front of the camera, and it's always been that way. And they really are kind of artist forward, and it's really beautiful to be supported in that way." The event will stream live on Netflix, included in all subscription plans. The event begins at 8:00 p.m. ET/5:00 p.m. PT on Saturday, May 31 If you've been wondering, what actually is "Tudum?" Yes, it's the spelled out version of the sound that plays before each TV show or movie you watch on Netflix. It's also the name given to a companion site to Netflix that houses information about all your favourite films and shows, including trailers, first-look photos and interviews. The first Tudum event was held in January 2020 in São Paulo, Brazil, which drew 50,000 fans over four days. When the event returned in 2023, there were 35,000 in-person attendees with more than 78 million views across Netflix's global social channels.

Quakes extend LA Galaxy's MLS record season-opening winless streak to 16 games with 1-0 victory
CARSON, Calif. (AP) — Substitute Ousseni Bouda scored in the 74th minute, and the San Jose Earthquakes extended the LA Galaxy's MLS record season-opening winless streak to 16 games with a 1-0 victory Wednesday night. Bouda slipped between two defenders and got his third goal of the season on a precise pass from fellow substitute Preston Judd for the Quakes, who snapped a four-game losing streak in the California Clasico rivalry. The defending MLS Cup champion Galaxy (0-12-4) are edging toward historic ignominy after dropping yet another match at the stadium where they went unbeaten in 2024 and won their league-record sixth title in December. The MLS record is 19 straight winless matches in league play by the MetroStars in 1999. Real Salt Lake also played 18 straight without a win from 2005-06. Earl Edwards Jr. made six saves to keep his third clean sheet of the season for San Jose, which is unbeaten in eight matches across all competitions in May. Quakes head coach Bruce Arena had a successful return to the stadium where he led the Galaxy for nine seasons and won three MLS Cup championships. The Galaxy nearly salvaged a draw in the final minute of second-half injury time, but Edwards saved captain Maya Yoshida's header deep in the San Jose box. Supporters chanted 'We want better!' after the final whistle. The Galaxy's woes have only compounded throughout the new season despite the return to health of stars Joseph Paintsil, Gabriel Pec and Marco Reus. All three international veterans played major roles on last year's championship team, but were limited by injury in the new year. Reus left in the 59th minute against San Jose after sitting down on the grass without contact and eventually walking off the field. Reus struggled with a knee injury earlier in the season, but had been playing well in recent matches. Disorganized in attack and lacking any crispness in their passing, the Galaxy still look lost without Catalan midfielder Riqui Puig, who orchestrated their excellence throughout the 2024 season before tearing a knee ligament in the conference final. Puig could return this summer, but LA also had to part with a handful of key contributors to last season's team due to the salary cap constraints created annually for the MLS champion by title bonuses in their players' contracts. The Galaxy's leadership has declined to panic during this mammoth skid, even extending the contract of head coach Greg Vanney two weeks ago when the winless streak was at a mere 13 games. LA's Novak Micovic had to make two diving saves in the first two minutes of play, and he finished with four saves in the scoreless first half. San Jose's Ian Harkes hit the crossbar from long range in the 22nd minute. The Galaxy host Salt Lake on Saturday night. If they don't beat Salt Lake or win at St. Louis on June 14, they could tie the MetroStars' record June 25 at Colorado. ___ AP soccer:
