Here's something we definitely didn't see coming, in light of the fact that she has publicly called him some things we won't repeat here: it seems Janet Hubert and Will Smith have patched up their differences and will be reuniting for an upcoming Fresh Prince of Bel-Air reunion. (NY Daily News)
Speaking of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, that dramatic reboot of it that we mentioned a few weeks ago? It's been picked up by Peacock. (TVLine)
The Doogie Howser, MD reboot (Doogie Kameāloha, MD is the title, actually) has been picked up by Disney+. (Deadline)
Bill Maher did something last night that no talk show has done in months: a live audience and guests in studio. (Deadline)
Here's some good news: Saturday Night Live plans to return to the studio next month for the 46th season, meaning we (hopefully) won't get to miss out on whatever election season gold is waiting for us (more Maya Rudolph as Kamala Harris, we presume!). (Hollywood Reporter)
