On Thursday night's installment of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, he announced he's taking his show on the road this summer for the first time.

Colbert noted The Late Show will broadcast from Chicago’s "so creatively named" Auditorium Theatre during the week of this year’s Democratic National Convention in the Windy City.

The week of shows will kick off Monday, August 19, and run through Thursday, August 22, on CBS, streaming live and on-demand on Paramount+.

Colbert said Chicago holds "a special place" in his heart, joking, "and it's not just all the Polish sausages I ate that's still lodged in my aorta."

He "cut his teeth" as part of Chicago's famous second city troupe during his 11-year-stay, Colbert explained.

Savannah Chrisley is opening up about her life after her parents Todd and Julie Chrisley's imprisonment and sharing her hope for their future.

The couple, who became famous for their show Chrisley Knows Best, were sentenced in November 2022 to a combined 19 years in prison on charges including fraud and tax evasion. Todd was sentenced to 12 years in prison and 16 months of probation, while Julie was ordered to serve seven years in prison and 16 months of probation.

Their case is returning to court on Friday as they seek an appeal to review what they consider a court error.

In an interview with Nightline’s Juju Chang, ahead of her parents' appeal hearing on Friday, Savannah reflected on the moment she bid farewell to Chris and Julie before the pair reported to prison in January 2023.

"Just watched them stand in their bedroom, just hugging and kissing and not knowing," Savannah recalled.

"You know, at this point, you just hear 12 years, seven years. And that's a long time to be away from someone that you've been together with for 30 years, almost," she continued.

Since her parents' imprisonment, Savannah, 26, has been raising her younger family members: her little brother Grayson, 17, and niece Chloe, 11. The latter has been raised by Todd Chrisley and Julie Chrisley due to their son Kyle Chrisley's struggles with substance abuse.

Asked whether there was any doubt that she would be the one to take on the responsibilities as their guardian, Savannah replied, "Oh, I think it was just an unspoken thing that we just knew."

Tune into Nightline at 12:37 a.m. ET for the exclusive interview.

Have no fear, your reality roundup is here! Here's a look at what happened in the world of reality television this week:

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (Bravo)
Another housewife is saying goodbye. Cast member Crystal Kung Minkoff announced this week that she will not be returning for season 14 of the show. Minkoff, who has been on the show for three seasons, called the decision bittersweet and reflected on what it was like to be the first Asian-American to join the cast. “Every single year I was asked back, it was a blessing. It was an honor,” she said in an Instagram video. “Being the first Asian American on Beverly Hills was a lot of weight on my shoulders that I have since just have really understood the magnitude of what that means for people.”

The Real Housewives of the Potomac (Bravo)
Speaking of departing housewives, former RHOP star Candiace Dillard Bassett has announced her next chapter in life. Bassett tells Entertainment Tonight she’s expecting her first child with husband Chris Bassett. She had previously documented her fertility struggles on the show. Dillard Bassett announced her departure from the franchise three weeks ago.

The Valley (Bravo)
There were signs that Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright’s marriage was on the rocks, way before they officially announced their separation earlier this year. On this week’s episode of The Valley, filmed last summer, we see the tension between the two come to a head as they argue about Brittany’s drinking habits and their lack of a sex life. "You know better. Enough's enough," Jax yells during the fight. "Stop f****** drinking. You want to have more kids? Act like a mom." The two share 3-year-old son Cruz and announced their split in February after four years of marriage.

(NOTE LANGUAGE) Prime Video has renewed its video game adaptation Fallout for a second season, just days after the streaming service dropped all eight episodes of its first on April 10.

Based on the bestselling video game series, the story takes place 200 years after a nuclear event, when "the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind."

The show, starring Walton Goggins and Ella Purnell, quickly ranked among the service’s top three most-watched titles ever and boasted the most-watched season globally since Rings of Power, according to the streaming service.

The series was created by Westworld director Jonathan Nolan, who co-wrote The Dark Knight with Oscar-winning Oppenheimer director, older brother and frequent collaborator, Christopher.

Lisa Joy, Jonathan Nolan's partner on Westworld, co-produces Fallout through their Kilter Films banner.

"The bar was high for lovers of this iconic video game and so far we seem to have exceeded their expectations, while bringing in millions of new fans to the franchise," said a "thrilled" Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon MGM Studios, in the renewal announcement.

"The cast led by Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten, Walton Goggins and Kyle MacLachlan have knocked it out of the park!" she continued in part.

"Praise be to our insanely brilliant showrunners, Geneva [Robertson-Dworet] and Graham [Wagner], to our kick-a** cast," Nolan and Joy said, thanking their co-producers at Bethesda Game Studios, which developed the hit video game series, as well as Amazon "for their incredible support of this show."

They enthused, "We can't wait to blow up the world all over again."

On Friday, FX dropped the season 3 trailer to its Emmy-winning docuseries Welcome to Wrexham, starring celebs-turned-soccer team owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.

It's set to Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger," for good reason.

"In Rocky one, he loses. In season one, we lost," McElhenney explains.

"In Rocky II, he won. In season two, we won," the Always Sunny co-creator continues, referencing the underdog team's promotion to the English Football League in the show's tearjerker of a season finale.

For the third season, however, is there the Clubber Lang equivalent of adversity ahead? "It's going to be a very harrowing, edge-of-your seat season," Reynolds teases.

There are injuries and much stronger competition ahead, following the team's promotion after 15 long years of losses.

There will be tears — both the happy and not so happy kind — and laughs, too: Chris Pratt cameos in a behind-the-scenes peek of a birthday message McElhenney sent to Reynolds last October. "Do I get to meet Ryan?" Pratt asks, only to be denied.

"Is Danny DeVito here?" he asks, cracking Rob up with the ad-lib about his Always Sunny co-star.

"People expected to see a documentary about us changing Wrexham," Ryan concludes the snippet, adding, "But I think it's about Wrexham changing everyone else."

Season 3 of Welcome to Wrexham debuts May 2 at 10 p.m. ET on FX, streaming the next day on Hulu.

Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane has teamed up with a seemingly unlikely collaborator — Oscar-winning movie legend Martin Scorsese — to save some cartoons. 

The Seth MacFarlane Foundation and Scorsese's The Film Foundation are funding The Film Foundation's first-ever restoration of a "curated selection of historically significant animated shorts" from the 1920s through the 1940s.

Included will be nine films from animation legend George Fleischer, the creator of icon Betty Boop, among many other characters.

A program of the restorations, titled Back from the Ink: Restored Animated Shorts, will premiere during Turner Classic Movies' 2024 TCM Classic Film Festival at its Hollywood Boulevard location on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. PT, with an in-person introduction by MacFarlane.

Seven shorts directed by Dave Fleischer will be screened, including Koko's Tattoo from 1928; 1935's Little Nobody; The Little Stranger and Greedy Humpty Dumpty from 1936; and 1937's Peeping Penguins.

Also screening will be a 1939 Terrytoon production called The Three Bears and 1944's Two-Gun Rusty from animator George Pal. 

Oddly, the former came to a new audience a few years back thanks to the Spaghet meme.

"I'm so grateful to Seth MacFarlane for his enthusiasm and his support on these restorations," said Scorsese in an announcement.

"What an astonishing experience, to see these remarkable pictures that I experienced for the first time as a child brought back to their full glory," the filmmaker added. "The films now seem as fresh as they did when they were newly made."

MacFarlane expressed, "The work Martin Scorsese and his Film Foundation have been doing is essential cinematic preservation. I'm honored to partner with them in restoring their first-ever collection of storied animation."

Netflix announced Thursday that the fourth season of The Witcher is now underway, and the streamer has renewed the sword and sorcery series for a fifth — but that will be it. 

The new seasons of the show will feature Liam Hemsworth succeeding original star and fan of the source material Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia. He departed the show after rumblings of creative differences behind the scenes began to surface. 

Cavill had told The Hollywood Reporter that he'd stay with the series "as long as we can keep telling great stories which honor [author Andrzej] Sapkowski’s work," as seen in his beloved books and related games — of which Cavill counted himself a devoted fanboy.

As for The Witcher's new direction, the streaming service says seasons 4 and 5 will be shot back to back, "and will be the final chapter in Geralt’s story," centered on the author's books Baptism of Fire, The Tower of the Swallow and Lady of the Lake.

The final seasons will offer "an epic and satisfying conclusion," producer Lauren Schmidt Hissrich insists.  

Netflix teases of the penultimate installment: "After the shocking, Continent-altering events that close out season three, the new season follows Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri who are faced with traversing the war-ravaged Continent and its many demons apart from each other."

The streamer adds, "If they can embrace and lead the groups of misfits they find themselves in, they have a chance of surviving the baptism of fire and finding one another again."

Henry Cavill is James Bond and Margot Robbie the femme fatale in a new trailer that has attracted more than 2.6 million viewers on YouTube since it dropped Saturday.

The problem is, it's fake. 

Its creator, KH Studio, says it was made "solely for artistic and entertainment purposes"; a cinephile can see from which movies certain scenes were cribbed — including previous James Bond adventures Quantum of Solace and No Time to Die, and the spy adventure Cavill actually was in, 2015's The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

But the creator also used AI to turn Cavill into the hero that many fans want him to play and to make the Barbie star break bad.

Sure, it's not perfect — Robbie's lip-synch is way off for one of her on-camera lines — but it still got some fans psyched. 

Indeed, fan-made trailers are nothing new, but this one shows the audience is out there. 

"Hopefully this shows the studio people want henry cavill as james bond," one commented.

In real life, Aaron Taylor-Johnson was reportedly approached to play Bond, and Cavill recently commented about the apparently ongoing search while promoting his reunion with director Guy Ritchie, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. 

"All I've got to go off is the rumors," he confessed to The Rich Eisen Show. "Maybe I'm too old now. Maybe I'm not. It's up to [producers] Barbara Broccoli and Mike Wilson, and we'll see what their plans are."

After audiences fell in love with the Sydney Sweeney/Glen Powell romantic comedy Anyone but You and the success of the Lindsay Lohan film Irish Wish, The Hollywood Reporter says studios are swiping right on the genre once again.

Anyone But You writer-director Will Gluck tells the trade, "There's been no dearth of rom-coms in the last 10 years. They’ve just all been on ... on Netflix and Hulu and Amazon."

He continues, "I think the quality has probably been just the same as in theaters. The problem is we do not laugh at home. You do not laugh when you're watching at your house. You do not laugh when you’re watching on a phone."

Gluck adds, "When you're in a theater with other people around you -- this is my theory based on nothing -- I just feel that you’ve given yourself up to want to enjoy something ... I think a big part of our movie was how people felt watching it with others in a theater."

Gluck may say his theory is "based on nothing," but the people are proof: Anyone but You spawned a viral trend of audiences singing and dancing to the final credits song, Natasha Bedingfield's "Unwritten."

Richard LaGravenese, who directed the upcoming romantic Netflix movie A Family Affair starring Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron, offers, "I don’t know if it's maybe just from the pandemic ... [that people are] leaning toward more fun, aspirational stories, fantasy stories, stories that you can just have a good time in."

As the saying goes, everybody loves a happy ending.

On Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Wednesday night, Jimmy revealed he may host the Oscars for a fifth time.

If he does, he has former President Donald Trump to thank.

The former president became a punchline during Kimmel's last stint as Academy Awards host, thanks to Kimmel reading Trump's mid-show pan of Jimmy's job as host.

On Wednesday, for apparently no specific reason, the former commander-in-chief went after Kimmel's "horrendous performance" again, insisting Kimmel's wife and producers "begged" Jimmy not to read the Truth Social post on air.

Trump also claimed the show ended with Kimmel suffering a "CLASSIC CHOKE" when revealing the winner of the Best Picture trophy.

Kimmel went on to fact-check Trump's Truth Social post point by point, including the fact that it was Al Pacino, not Kimmel, who read Oppenheimer's name after a bit of a stumble. "I didn't even touch the envelope," Jimmy said, laughing.

Reading the conclusion, which said Kimmel will go down in history "AS THE WORST EVER HOST OF THE VAUNTED ACADEMY AWARDS," Jimmy countered saying, "That must be why they asked me to host again next year -- which I wasn't going to do, but now I might."

Kimmel couldn't believe that Trump was "the only person still talking about this joke" from five weeks ago, adding, "My parents don't even care anymore" that he hosted the show.

Mariska Hargitay isn't a cop, but she plays one on TV. Her Law & Order: Special Victims Unit character Olivia Benson recently came to the aid of a lost, little girl who thought she was the real deal.

People reports that on April 10, while shooting SVU at New York City's Anne Loftus Playground in Fort Tryon Park, Hargitay halted production of the show for 20 minutes after a lost, little girl spotted her badge and approached her. According to the magazine, the child did not notice the film crew or her scene partner, Ice-T.

Hargitay, who is a parent to three children with husband Peter Hermann, was able to reunite the daughter with her mother, the witness told the magazine, which published photos of the incident and the happy reunion.

Although he's repeatedly said he was calling it a career with his tenth film, The Movie Critic, Deadline reveals Quentin Tarantino has dropped the project, which was set to start shooting in 2025.

Tarantino's 1970s-set project was to feature Brad Pitt reprising the role that won him his first Oscar: stuntman Cliff Booth from the writer-director's Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood.

However, after a rewrite, the trade says Tarantino "simply decided" to shelve the project.

The director and Oscar-winning Pulp Fiction screenwriter previously told Deadline The Movie Critic was to be "based on a guy who really lived, but was never really famous, and he used to write movie reviews for a porno rag ... He wrote about mainstream movies."

He explained, "I think he was a very good critic. He was as cynical as hell. His reviews were a cross between early Howard Stern and what Travis Bickle [Robert DeNiro's Taxi Driver character] might be if he were a film critic."

As for why the 61-year-old is seemingly sticking to his plan to retire from movie directing at 10 films — when, for example, 93-year-old Clint Eastwood just shot Juror #2 — Tarantino told Playboy back in 2012 he'd rather go out on top.

"Directors don't get better as they get older. Usually the worst films in their filmography are those last four at the end," he maintained, adding, "I don't want that bad, out-of-touch comedy in my filmography."
