Dark Winds Stars Geek Out Over Hollywood Icon's Secret Cameo — Grade the Season 3 Premiere
The following contains spoilers from the Season 3 premiere of on AMC/AMC+. 'George, the whole world's waiting! Make a move.' More from TVLine SNL Duet Calls for an End to 'Slay,' 'Sus,' 'Bop' and Other Overused Slang - WATCH (and Agree!) SNL Video: Lady Gaga and Bowen Yang Sing 'Wonderful Tonight' on a Chaotically Weird First Date Lady Gaga Roasts Herself in SNL Monologue With Jokes About R. Kelly Duet and Joker 2's Razzie Win - Watch Seriously, George R.R. Martin, will you get off your duff and do something…? Midway through the Season 3 premiere of AMC's Dark Winds on Sunday night, Det. Joe Leaphorn (played by Zahn McClarnon) moseyed on over to the jail cell inside the Navajo Tribal Police station, to observe two men playing chess. On one side, glimpsed first, was a man named 'George' — played by novelist (and Dark Winds executive producer) George R.R. Martin. 'George,' deep in thought, was egged on to make a move by his opponent — played by Academy Award winner Robert Redford, who is also a Dark Winds executive producer. Between sips of coffee, onlooker Joe suggested to George a move which led to a checkmate. Redford's character, beaten, peered up at Joe to sniff, 'Thanks a lot.' Ahead of Dark Winds' Season 3 premiere, as part of our spoiler-free TVLine Spotlight conversation (watch above), McClarnon teased that the 'few seconds' he shared on-screen with Redford were no less than 'a dream come true. It put a big, big smile on my face.' (In fact, he said that co-star Kiowa Gordon observed on-set, 'Zahn, you look like a little boy right now.') Following the TVLine Spotlight conversation, with the cameras off and the crowd out of earshot, TVLine invited McClarnon to freely elaborate on the very special cameos. Obviously, 'I've met them before…,' he noted of his fellow EPs. But to actually share a scene with them? 'What can you say!' he smiled. George R.R. Martin 'is a legend' as a novelist, McClarnon opined. 'In the last two or three decades, he's probably the best fantasy writer we have.' Staring at Redford through those jail cell bars, though, hit even harder. 'I mean, I grew up in the '70s, '80s, and Robert Redford was one of my heroes' — dating back to the 1970 film Little Fauss and Big Halsy, McClarnon shared. 'He was definitely one of my inspirations, and I've seen just about everything he's ever done.' Reflecting on that shoot day, the actor said, 'The moment he turns and looks at me, I was like, 'Oh! He still has the movie star looks.'' The fact that Redford has made precious few on-camera appearances in the past decade (and even fewer outside of the MCU) — he kinda-sorta retired from acting in 2018 — gave the experience added heft for McClarnon. 'I might have been in his last scene he's possibly ever gonna do,' the Dark Winds star suggested. 'I hope we see more of him,' but if not, 'it's pretty cool to be a part of, possibly, one of the last scenes Robert Redford ever shot.' Jessica Matten, who plays Dark Winds' Bernadette Manuelito, made a point to be on-set the day of Redford's cameo, even though she wasn't working — in part because she knew how excited McClarnon was, but also to witness an iconic moment herself. 'I grew up on Robert Redford's films as well, and with his age (currently 88), you never know if this is going to be the last project he's going to be in,' she told TVLine. 'So I was like, 'I've got to go, I've got to see him, I've got to support Zahn.' 'And I've got to say, whatever that 'X factor' is, he has it!' the actress raved of Redford. 'He even surprised me, once it got rolling with the way his eyes twinkle and light up. It was phenomenal.'Best of TVLine Yellowjackets' Tawny Cypress Talks Episode 4's Tai/Van Reunion: 'We're All Worried About Taissa' Vampire Diaries Turns 10: How Real-Life Plot Twists Shaped Everything From the Love Triangle to the Final Death Vampire Diaries' Biggest Twists Revisited (and Explained)

SNL Duet Calls for an End to ‘Slay,' ‘Sus,' ‘Bop' and Other Overused Slang — WATCH (and Agree!)
Not me getting called out by SNL for using 'sus' on the TVLine homepage a few weeks ago! This weekend's Saturday Night Live featured a second duet between mother host/musical guest Lady Gaga and Bowen Yang, in which their characters break up a brunch amongst friends to call for an end to the use of 'slay,' 'sus,' 'bop' and other overused slang — especially by straight white people of a certain age.

Kelly Duet and Joker 2's Razzie Win - Watch The Way Home EPs Talk Ongoing Casey Goodwin Mystery: The Finale 'Didn't Feel Like the Right Time' for Big Reveal Setting the stage for Gaga and Yang's duet is Sarah Sherman's 32-year-old 44-year-old character describing both the restaurant and her eggs as a 'slay,' then adding that her shakshuka is 'giving.' Andrew Dismukes' character snowballs onto that by heralding the mimosas as 'blowing slay chunks and vomiting into the mother bag.' Yang in that moment puts his foot down and announces, 'We have to tell you guys something so important, we have to sing it to you' — thoroughly scaring/'gagging' Ego Nwodim's character. The duet that follows, titled 'No More Slay,' suggests that instead of trotting out the overused S-word, to simply say, 'Wow, I like that!' or, 'Heather, your dress looks nice.' It beseeches people to 'flex' less and no longer put 'feet on people's necks.' And to go with a simple 'good' or 'bad' instead of 'bae' and sus.' Do you concur with the sentiment of 'No More Slay,' and feel moved to dial back on such verbal tics yourself? Watch the video above, weigh in below, and grade this week's SNL!

SNL Video: Lady Gaga and Bowen Yang Sing ‘Wonderful Tonight' on a Chaotically Weird First Date
It's springtime, and love is in bloom on Saturday Night Live… with a little help from Eric Clapton. Lady Gaga and Bowen Yang played a couple on a first date in a sketch on this week's SNL, with the two teaming up for a duet of the Clapton classic 'Wonderful Tonight.' The date got increasingly bizarre, though, as the two of them got to know each better. Gaga's character Janelle warned Yang's soul patch-sporting Gianfranco that 'if you're hoping to get me into bed tonight, you'll be disappointed.' But then she clarified: 'I'll sleep with you. You'll just be disappointed because I'm not very good at it.' More from TVLine Lady Gaga Roasts Herself in SNL Monologue With Jokes About R.

He told her he's in medicine as well: 'I do the fast disclaimers in medication ads.'
