The porn videos had titles like "Juicy Anniversary" and "Bedroom Shenanigans." In search of a man for Wilson, Gow sought advice from his therapist, who suggested joining a swingers club. In the background, Video Gow is moaning "Oh yeah" as IRL Gow says, "I've always had some ED issues." As the video ends with the big finale — the money shot, as it's known in the industry — Video Gow stands above kneeling Video Wilson, arms outstretched. The termination letter said he had failed to properly report his income from the porn videos and had violated "prohibitions for using one's public position for private benefit."

Mostly, Larry David’s extended swan-song provides a final chance to watch him and his pals carry on like idiots, feeling a little more hit-miss in the execution. Larry David and J.B. Smoove in "Curb Your Enthusiasm." That unique dynamic alone has made “Curb” a fascinating experiment, which has lasted far longer than even David probably could have envisioned. Even with all that creative freedom, given David’s quirks, real and imagined, its longevity is frankly remarkable. “Curb Your Enthusiasm” begins its 12th and final season February 4 at 10 p.m.

On September 23, 2022, 12-year-old Esmeralda walked out of the girls' bathroom at her middle school in Tapachula, Mexico, and fainted. Mexican President Andrés Manuel Lopez Obrador began including regular updates on the government's investigation into the fainting episodes in his daily press conferences. Dr. Carlos Alberto Pantoja Meléndez, one of Mexico's few field epidemiologists, had taken an interest in the fainting episodes. News of the initial fainting episodes had been shared there, the epidemiologist, who asked to remain anonymous, told Pantoja-Melendez. Both believe that the fainting episodes in Mexico were examples of something new and alarming: mass hysteria spreading online.

Ato Essandoh and Keri Russell Photo: NETFLIXSometime during episode 3 of “The Diplomat,” a character puts the show’s entire premise in the proverbial nutshell: “Can you imagine hiring someone for a key governing position just because you think they’d be good at it?” What could possibly go wrong? The Diplomat Thursday, Netflix“Plenty” is the answer to the second question in what is a mischievously clever, amusing and absorbing eight-part Netflix series created by Debora Cahn (“Fosse/Verdon”). The answer to the first question is more complicated. Who exactly are we talking about? And to whom does “The Diplomat” even refer?
