Antenna TV Presents The Sunday Special; Apple TV+ Comedy Loot Premieres June 24
Antenna TV Presents: The Sunday Special returns for a special showing on Sunday, June 12. This time, the Sunday Special will be a marathon of Becker. The marathon will air from 8am-1pm. The last Sunday Special marathon aired in March with a day of Bewitched episodes. In Becker, Dr. John Becker (Ted Danson) is easily annoyed -- by noisy neighbors, a ridiculous comment, a flickering streetlight, the antics of his misfit staff members. He's a talented and dedicated doctor and goes the extra mile for those in need, but he doesn't waste a chance to give anyone a piece of his mind.
Apple TV+ unveiled the star-studded trailer for its new workplace comedy Loot, starring and executive produced by Emmy Award winner Maya Rudolph (Saturday Night Live, Bridesmaids). From Emmy Award-winning creators Alan Yang (Little America, Master of None) and Matt Hubbard (30 Rock, Forever), the 10-episode comedy will debut globally with the first three episodes on Friday, June 24 on Apple TV+, followed by one new episode weekly, every Friday. In addition to Rudolph, the Loot ensemble cast is led by stars Michaela Jaé Rodriguez (Pose), Ron Funches (Undateable), Nat Faxon (Married) and Joel Kim Booster (Sunnyside).
In Loot, billionaire Molly Novak (Rudolph) has a dream life, complete with private jets, a sprawling mansion, and a gigayacht — anything her heart desires. But when her husband of 20 years betrays her, she spirals publicly, becoming fuel for tabloid fodder. She's reaching rock bottom when she learns, to her surprise, that she has a charity foundation run by the no-nonsense Sofia Salinas (Rodriguez), who pleads with Molly to stop generating bad press. With her devoted assistant Nicholas (Kim Booster) by her side, and with the help of Sofia and team — including mild-mannered accountant Arthur (Faxon) and her optimistic, pop-culture-loving cousin Howard (Funches) — Molly embarks on a journey of self-discovery. Giving back to others might be what she needs to get back to herself.
