Yet it almost felt that way during Stewart's return to “The Daily Show” Monday night. Neither will that night prove Stewart can regain the position of prominence he stepped away from in August 2015. He moved swiftly into the news, and up-to-date doings of President Joe Biden and his Republican rival. “The Daily Show” even found one where Trump said he couldn't remember talking about how good his memory is. The “campaign” interlude allowed Stewart, and viewers who had drifted away from “The Daily Show” after he left, to become acquainted with unfamiliar cast members.

The nominations for the 75th annual Emmy Awards were announced on July 12, 2023. The next day, the Screen Actors Guild voted to go on strike, joining the Writers Guild of America in a work stoppage that shut down Hollywood for months. As a result of the strikes, the Emmys were postponed until January. The ceremony will air on Monday — on the heels of the Golden Globes, in the midst of the N.F.L. Our TV reporter, John Koblin, joins TV editor Jeremy Egner to discuss the competitions to watch on Emmy night, and whether this ceremony might be a turning point for both the Emmys and the era of “peak TV.”

The show looms so large and Perry’s performance as Chandler Bing was so indelible that it can be difficult to think of him in any other context. But Perry had a long and varied career that included films, many other series and the occasional play. Here are some of his most memorable performances and how to watch them. As Chandler, Perry was the sharpest, funniest Friend. Perry’s well-known struggles with addiction are unavoidably linked to his time on the show — for instance, he said he went to rehab right after filming Monica and Chandler’s wedding.

The ongoing strikes by actors and writers in Hollywood mean the broadcast networks have fewer new and returning scripted series than usual this fall.

Even if you’ve never read a Hollywood trade publication, a little familiarity with TV’s recent past will serve you well. (Note: Given the ongoing negotiations and uncertainty, all schedule information here is even more subject to change than usual.)

That combination proved perfect for the darkly comic, morally murky world of “Justified.” Olyphant’s performance in the series shifted his previously hit-and-miss career into a higher gear, which in turn has made his future prospects less dependent on the success of the “Justified” revival. Premiering Thursday on Max, the gripping six-episode serial revolves around a botched kidnapping with international repercussions. “Full Circle” was directed by Steven Soderbergh, the latest on a list of talented people with whom Olyphant long wanted to work and now has. Kenneth Lonergan made him the center of his acclaimed play “Hold On to Me Darling” (2016). “You can throw Larry David on the list,” Olyphant said, referring to his appearance as a smarmy groom in “Curb Your Enthusiasm” in 2020.
