Patrick Gottsch, who dedicated his life to promoting and growing the rural and western way of life, died on Saturday, May 18, at the Fort Worth Stockyards. He was 70 and no cause was given.
Gottsch founded The Cowboy Channel in 2017, which became the Official Network of ProRodeo. Since Tuesday, The Cowboy Channel has been broadcasting a nightly 30-minute special on Gottsch’s life and career, with a one-hour telecast planned on Friday evening.
Yellowstone and 1883 creator Taylor Sheridan issued a statement.
“Patrick Gottsch was a pioneer and visionary in every sense of the word. He created a central entertainment and information outlet that became an essential tool in the lives of all who work in agriculture and live in rural America. He brought horsemanship into the living rooms of America through exposure to clinicians such as Clinton Anderson, Chris Cox, and Ken McNabb. He was a tireless and stalwart protector...

Jeremy Jordan, a seasoned Broadway performer who ventured into other projects, has returned to the stage to star as Jay Gatsby, a millionaire driven by a mysterious past and an unwavering desire to reunite with his former love, Daisy, in an adaption of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s iconic novel The Great Gatsby.
The brand-new musical has a score composed by Kait Kerrigan, Jason Howland and Nathan Tysen.
As Jordan steps into the shoes of Gatsby, he acknowledges the inherent challenge the role poses as he follows in the footsteps of actors like Alan Ladd, Robert Redford and Leonardo DiCaprio, who have portrayed the character on screen. His determination to create his interpretation of Gatsby drove him to the understanding of the character.
“What kind of person would literally go to the ends of the earth and somehow become the richest person in Long Island over the course of a very...

‘Tis the Broadway season of reinvention. Shaina Taub smartly retooled half of Suffs’s score since its off-Broadway premiere in 2022, allowing her jam-packed historical musical to shed some weight and soar. Branden Jacobs-Jenkins revisited the text of his 2014 play Appropriate, his subtle, meaningful edits transforming the work into a monster hit on Broadway. But he had a decade to do so and the play was already great.
Not so great, in contrast, was The Great Gatsby’s inauspicious world premiere at the Paper Mill Playhouse in Millburn, New Jersey, last October. Crafted initially as an international commission intended to be performed in translation for South Korean audiences, The Great Gatsby’s first soiree was kind of like the man himself, an impotent facsimile hiding behind pretty faces and loud voices. Even the gilded sets wobbled in New Jersey.
A hasty Broadway transfer was commercially understandable in a competitive landscape but artistically insane.

“I really wanted to discover what wasn’t there,” explains Jeremy Jordan when asked about his portrayal of the titular figure in “The Great Gatsby.” The actor is embodying the enigmatic Jay Gatsby in a Broadway musical adaptation of the classic F. Scott Fitzgerald novel. The actor is interested in exploring the “romanticism” and “mania” that exist in this confounding figure who enchants Long Island in the 1920s. Watch the exclusive video interview above.
The musical follows Nick Carraway (Noah Ricketts) who befriends the uber rich Gatsby after receiving an invitation to one of the socialite’s lavish Long Island parties. Gatsby isn’t just an extravagant host, however. He has his sights set on reclaiming his long lost love Daisy (Eva Noblezada), who happens to be Nick’s cousin. Gatsby machinations successfully lure Daisy back to him, but his secret misdeeds threaten to unravel the life he has so carefully created.

Once the hottest writer in town, Truman Capote also was a master at self destruction.
Cut to The Bistro, Beverly Hills circa 1973. Cradling his cocktail, Capote was at once amiable and petulant. I was sitting across from him at the elegant café to discuss his new screenplay, but the discussion soon became an argument.
Capote, always theatrical, finally turned to strangers at the next table. “I wrote a brilliant screenplay and this man from Paramount is telling me that I didn’t write it, I simply typed it,” Capote complained, an edge to his high-pitched voice. “What should I do to him?”
The strangers smiled. “Order another martini,” said one. “Better make it a double.”
A superstar writer and raconteur, the late Capote needed more than a drink at this point in his life, and our meeting was not helping him. I thought of him this week as his “character...

Is Ziwe getting an interview with George Santos?
That was a deal seemingly agreed to on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday between Santos, the disgraced congressman, and Ziwe, the comedian/writer/interviewer.
It all started Saturday, when Ziwe responded to an X user who had posted photos of both Santos and Ziwe with the message, “This interview would irreversibly change the course of history.” Ziwe responded with “my literal dream.”

Then Ziwe messaged Santos: “.@MrSantosNY would you be interested in a pay-per-view interview? you’d be an iconic guest.”
On Sunday, the former Republican representative replied, “Let’s do it @ziwe,” with a winking emoji with its tongue sticking out. Ziwe reposted his response on her feed.

John Oliver is celebrating the end of the actors strike — sort of.
On Sunday’s Last Week Tonight, he noted that the 118-day strike had come to an end after SAG-AFTRA reached a tentative deal with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers last week (the deal still has to be ratified by the guild).
“The SAG strike finally ended, meaning that movies will be back in production,” he began in the opening segment of his HBO show. “Although to be honest, I’m not even sure that I need movies anymore since this 17-minute video was released of what I can only describe as a hamster Gatsby living its best life.”
He then showed about a minute of a video titled “The Awesome Hamster Ball Pool Maze” uploaded to YouTube by Homura Ham Pets that’s garnered 1.4 million in the four months it’s been online. (Watch the video below in its entirety.

John Oliver started off Last Week Tonight talking about the SAG-AFTRA strike ending but then questioning if movies were still needed.
“The SAG strike finally ended meaning that movies will be back in production,” Oliver said on his HBO talk show. He then joked, “Although to be honest, I’m not even sure I need movies anymore.”
The late-night show host said that he’s been captivated by a 17-minute video of what he describes as “a hamster Gatsby living its best life.” Oliver proceeds to present the video of a hamster playing around and sliding off a slide.
“It’s a complete masterpiece,” Oliver noted.
He goes on to call “Barbenheimer” as something that he liked and was “fine” adding, “To be honest, it’s just not as good as” the hamster video.
Earlier this week SAG-AFTRA reached a deal with the studios that ended a 118-day strike.

Michael Chow is meant to be in Riyadh. But as drones spell out his name in the sky above Saudi Arabia’s capital, heralding the Oct. 5 opening of the latest outpost of his eponymous restaurant, the charismatic restaurateur, artist and bon vivant is in his Los Angeles home, grounded with a positive Covid-19 test. He is in good spirits nonetheless. “My name is Gatsby,” Chow says with a laugh, invoking the name of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s tragic hero, known for hosting extravagant parties but not necessarily attending them. “When he gives a party, they always turn up.”
Of course, Chow, 84, has long been known for his hosting prowess, with more than five decades of feeding the A-list legions of Hollywood, fashion, art, politics and beyond at his Mr. Chow restaurants. Now numbering seven locations, his empire launched with a London spot that opened in 1968, followed by Beverly Hills in...

The kind of self-flaggellation the Left does is something you never see from the Right.
The Left’s fears about being in a bubble, about not doing enough to understand the other side, about their own overreach, are a phenomenon unique to liberals. There does not need to be a New York Times Pitchbot for the Right. Ben Shapiro is not issuing a blistering movie review takedown of a Dinesh D’Souza documentary that went too far and didn’t listen enough to the other side.
And now there’s “Coup!” Politically muddled at best, something Ron DeSantis would happily introduce at Cpac at worst, this populist satire from directors Austin Stark and Joseph Schuman is an Adam McKay-lite class-war confection looking to have it both ways. Its “eat the rich” message is certainly strong enough for those with an extremely niche grievance: Those who, three years later, want to...

The Osage called it the “Reign of Terror.” Once upon a time, long after they’d been forcibly displaced and sold land in the Oklahoma territories deemed barren and unfruitful, the Indigenous tribe had discovered oil under the ground. And more oil. And still more oil after that. They became rich. Like Gatsby-level rich. Then, in the early 1920s, members of the community began suffering from a mysterious “wasting illness.” And when two Osage citizens were found within a day of each other in 1921, both with gunshot wounds to their heads,...
