Kelsey Grammer is clarifying his former falling-out with his "Cheers" co-star Ted Danson.

Last October, Grammer and Ted Danson reflected on their distance over the past 30 years and made amends.

In a recent interview with The New York Post, Grammer is sharing the reason he thinks it all started.

"It got a little blown out of proportion. There really wasn’t an argument. It was at a time in my life when I was actually going through a lot of self-doubt, self-loathing, honestly," he told the outlet.

TED DANSON THROWS MORE COLD WATER ON HOPES FOR 'CHEERS' REUNION: 'I THINK IT'D BE A LITTLE SAD'

Grammer continued, explaining it had to do with their work on "Cheers."

"It was when I was drinking a lot. Ted had just come up and said, ‘You know, I’m kind of mad at you that sometimes you don’t show up ready to go.’ And I said, ‘OK, I respect that.’ And that actually was sort of it," the 69-year-old said.

The "Frasier" star speculated, "Now, maybe what happened for Ted was he stepped away from what might have been a better friendship. Maybe he just had to protect himself. I don’t really know. But, I said, ‘Thanks.’ We were fine with that."

On the "Where Everybody Knows Your Name" podcast co-hosted by Danson and fellow "Cheers" alum Woody Harrelson, the pair seemed to make peace with each other over the past.

Danson told Grammer, "This isn’t self-deprecating, but it’s — I feel like I got stuck a little bit with you during the ‘Cheers’ years. I have a memory of getting angry at you once."

Grammer agreed, saying, "Yeah, you came and told me that one day."

"And it’s stuck in both of our memories," Danson added. "But I feel like, f---, I don’t know. I missed out on the last 30 years of Kelsey Grammer. … I feel like it’s my bad, my doing.

"I apologize to you. And [to] me that I sat back. … I really do apologize."

Grammer accepted Danson’s apologies, and they, along with Harrelson, fondly recalled a conversation from their friendship.

"You said something wonderful to me though, too, that I’ve always, I quote to other people," Grammer remarked. 

"When I turned 40, you came up and you said, ‘You know what it means, don’t you? Now that you’re 40, it means you’re finally worth having a conversation with.’"

Harrelson joined in on the laugh and chimed in, "That’s good."

"That was f---ing brilliant. I always loved that. And I’ve repeated it. And my love for you has always been as easy as the day. You know, as easy as the sunrise," Grammer said as he grinned ear to ear.

Jelly Roll is giving back to first responders who have been battling the fires in Los Angeles for over a month.

The Grammy nominee partnered with Live Nation Saturday night at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, California, for the "A Concert for All First Responders" to thank them for their efforts.

"I want you to know that you are here tonight because you are a hero or you are a loved one of a hero," he told the audience from the stage.

He continued, "And I knew the moment I was watching this go down all the way in Tennessee in my house, I thought if I got a chance to go to California I was gonna play music to everyone who worked their ass off for the last 2 months trying to keep the rest of this place safe. Thank y’all for having me tonight – this is awesome!"

The audience included almost 16,000 emergency personnel, including more than 1,000 incarcerated firefighters from across the state.

California has utilized inmates to combat fires for over a century, according to reporting from NPR.

During the two-hour event, Jelly Roll was joined by several guests, including Lainey Wilson, his "Save Me," duet partner, Nate Smith, Shinedown, Marshmello and Public Enemy.

"Music has the power to bring joy and healing, and we’re honored to partner with Jelly Roll to offer that to those who’ve served the Los Angeles community during the devastating wildfires and the rebuilding process," said Geni Lincoln, president of California, Live Nation Concerts. 

The concert for first responders came one day after Jelly Roll’s appearance at FireAid, raising funds for victims of the Los Angeles fires and featuring artists like Gwen Stefani and No Doubt, Dave Grohl, Billie Eilish, Katy Perry and many more.

Jelly Roll’s performance for first responders comes on the heels of the announcement of his acting debut on a show all about firefighters, CBS’ "Fire Country."

In a promotional video released Friday, the "Son of a Sinner" singer joined series creator Max Thieriot to deliver the news to fans.

"From the stage to the fire line, it’s time to see if I can keep up," Jelly Roll said. 

His episode will air in April, and Billboard reports that he will be playing a hospital orderly named Noah.

Jelly Roll also guest starred on "Tulsa King," in a cameo playing himself, making "Fire Country" the first time he’ll be playing a character.

Martha Stewart drove fans wild on social media with what they are calling a "saucy" and "unhinged" new video, featuring a succulent strawberry and a spool of fresh honey.

In the video, Stewart shows off a variety of products from Mac Cosmetics, though most of her followers were focused more on her delivery than the advertisement.

The comment section on the post was filled with fans marveling at Stewart, who amplified the sexiness by speaking softly.

MARTHA STEWART SHOWS OFF SKIN IN CLOSE-UP SELFIES WITH 'ABSOLUTELY NO RE-IMAGING,' GETS RIPPED BY FANS

"What gets me in the nude," she asked. "How about a strawberry, fresh picked from the garden? Best in the hot sun," she said, biting into the juicy fruit. "Honey," she said, eating the sticky goo from a spool. "Makes a mess." 

"Ok saucy Martha!!!" one fan wrote. Another commented, "Martha is unhinged these days."

One of Stewart's followers joked, "Its like an intro to her OF [OnlyFans]."

"Martha Stewart being dirty wasn’t on my 2025 bingo card," another comment read.

One person called her a "naughty girl," while another dubbed her "the hottest woman on the internet."

A resounding sentiment expressed by fans was that the 83-year-old businesswoman was an "icon" and inspiration. "When I grow up I want to be like Martha," one user wrote on Instagram. "An icon," another put simply.

Posting suggestive content is not new for Stewart, who has embraced her sexuality in recent years, even appearing on the cover of Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit issue in 2023 and reveling in her status as a "sex symbol."

"It's a good example for others, actually," she told InStyle, of being revered at an older age. "I'm a teacher. I'm trying to teach others that you can look great. There's no reason to slump around."

In a separate interview with AARP, Stewart commented on aging in general, saying it wasn't something she thought about. "How old I am, slowing down, retiring – I just don't dwell on that," she explained.

"People talk about aging successfully, but I think of it as living gracefully and living to the absolute fullest," she explained. "I’m about trying new things and learning new things every single day. Staying fresh, being interesting and interested. Staying curious, staying busy, developing new friendships."

Dick Van Dyke recently admitted that his beloved sitcom had a rough start.

When asked how "The Dick Van Dyke Show" was created, the 99-year-old actor shared that he nearly lost his famous show after facing tough competition from another Hollywood star. 

"I was doing ‘Bye, Bye Birdie’ for a year, and the pilot came up . . . my agent told me it was between me and Johnny Carson," he shared on Ted Danson’s "Where Everybody Knows Your Name" podcast. 

MALIBU WILDFIRE SURROUNDS DICK VAN DYKE'S HOME; 99-YEAR-OLD STAR 'SAFELY EVACUATED'

He continued to explain that after working on "Bye, Bye Birdie," he took a week off, "flew out here and did a pilot with Carl [Reiner], came back . . . he called me and said it sold . . . and then the end of the first season we got canceled."

Van Dyke explained his show was up against Perry Como on NBC, and "he beat us every night."

Perry Como was one of the most beloved and successful entertainers of the 20th century. The American singer and actor was known for his popular songs, including the holiday hit, "It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" and "Catch a Falling Star."

Van Dyke said executive producer Sheldon Leonard traveled to Cincinnati to pay Van Dyke's corporate sponsor, Procter & Gamble, a visit and convinced the network to continue airing "The Dick Van Dyke" show. 

Leonard produced "The Andy Griffith Show" along with "The Dick Van Dyke Show."

"He said this show deserves another chance, and they gave us another chance. . . . Then we ran for five years."

The Hollywood actor also spoke about working with one of his "heroes," the creator of "The Dick Van Dyke Show," Carl Reiner.

"He was not only a great talent, he was one of the nicest people I ever knew. He was an angel, that guy. Loved him."

In June 2020, legendary actor, director and producer Reiner died at the age of 98. Reiner died of natural causes at his home in Beverly Hills, California. 

Throughout his legendary career in showbusiness, Reiner earned countless awards, including several Emmys and a Grammy for best spoken comedy album alongside Mel Brooks for their album "The 2000 Year Old Man in the Year 2000."

Reiner was best known for co-starring in "The Dick Van Dyke Show," which he also created. He played comedian Alan Brady on the fictional TV show.

In 2019, Reiner told Fox News that working on "The Dick Van Dyke Show" was his favorite. 

"When asked, ‘Of all the theatrical projects you’ve done in your life, what are you most proud of?’ I always say, hands down, it’s creating and producing ‘The Dick Van Dyke Show.’ It was a labor of love."

It's been nearly two weeks since Billy Ray Cyrus stumbled onstage during a performance at President Donald Trump's inauguration celebration. Since then, fans and family members have voiced concerns about the "Achy Breaky Heart" crooner, questioning his health and stability. 

On Jan. 23, Billy Ray's adopted son, Trace, wrote a message on Instagram, expressing his family's worry and asking his father to seek help. 

A few days later, Billy Ray seemingly responded to Trace's public plea, saying he continues to pray for his children and their mother. 

BILLY RAY CYRUS EXPLAINS TRUMP INAUGURAL BALL PERFORMANCE THAT CONCERNED FANS

"Let this moment be the start of healing for us all," he wrote on Instagram. 

The public feuding is nothing new for the Cyrus clan. As a prominent family in the music industry, each member, including Billy Ray, ex-wife Tish, and their children — Trace, Brandi, Miley, Braison and Noah, — have experienced various forms of betrayal and heartache, all while navigating the chaos in the public eye. 

Here's a look at the Cyrus family and the drama that has unfolded throughout the years. 

From allegations of abuse to public rifts with his children, the patriarch of the Cyrus family has had his share of ups and downs. 

Billy Ray married Tish Cyrus in 1992. The musician adopted Tish's children, Trace and his older sister, Brandi, at the time. The couple later welcomed children Miley Cyrus, Braison Cyrus and Noah Cyrus before their divorce in 2022. The singer is also father to Christopher Cyrus with ex-wife Kristin Luckey.

After announcing his divorce from Tish in April 2022, Billy Ray got engaged to Firerose, whose real name Johanna Rosie Hodges, that August.

BILLY RAY CYRUS CLAIMS ESTRANGED WIFE BEGGED HIM TO TAKE HER BACK AFTER NASTY SPLIT

"Everyone knew that that relationship was over a long time ago," Billy Ray told People magazine of his split from Tish. "Everybody's turning the page. It's been a lot, but everyone knew that it was time for a change."

Billy Ray and Firerose married in October 2023. The following May, Billy Ray filed for an annulment, citing "irreconcilable differences" and alleged "inappropriate marital conduct" in documents obtained by Fox News Digital at the time. 

Toward the end, both claimed they were victims of abuse in their marriage. 

Earlier this month, Billy Ray sparked concern after a confusing performance at Trump's inauguration celebration Jan. 20. 

In a statement to People magazine the next day, he said, "I wouldn’t have missed the honor of playing this event whether my microphone, guitar and monitors worked or not. I was there because President Donald J. Trump invited me. 

"I had a ball at the Liberty Ball last night, and I’ve learned through all these years when the producer says, 'You’re on,' you go entertain the folks even if the equipment goes to hell. I was there for the people, and we had a blast. That’s called rock n' roll!!!"

Tish's relationship with Billy Ray had its flaws throughout their marriage. The Cyrus family matriarch and Billy Ray had previously gone through two divorce filings before officially calling it quits in 2022. 

In April 2022, Tish filed for divorce, citing "irreconcilable differences."

"It is after 30 years, five amazing children and a lifetime of memories, we have decided to go our separate ways — not with sadness, but with love in our hearts," Tish and Billy Ray said in a joint statement to People at the time. "We have grown up together, raised a family we can be so proud of and it is now time to create our own paths.

"We will always be family and look forward to a continued and loving shared experience as friends and parents. We have not come to this decision lightly or quickly, but with so much going on in the world, we wanted to provide some clarity and closure, so we can remain focused on what is important, With Love and Hopec… Tish and Billy Ray Cyrus."

Tish, who has been daughter Miley's manager for years, tied the knot with actor Dominic Purcell a year later. The wedding sparked rumors of a family feud when fans noticed her children, Noah and Braison, weren't in attendance. 

Noah, who was reported to have casually dated Purcell before Tish, and Braison allegedly spent their mother's wedding day together at Walmart, where Noah wore a Billy Ray shirt and posted a cryptic message about loving her father to her Instagram story. 

Miley, 32, and Billy Ray starred on the Disney Channel teen sitcom "Hannah Montana" for four seasons, from 2006 to 2011. 

In a 2011 interview with GQ, Billy Ray said the show "destroyed" his family. 

"I'll tell you right now — the damn show destroyed my family. And I sit there and go, 'Yeah, you know what? Some gave all.' It is my motto, and guess what? I have to eat that one. I some-gave-all'd it all right. I some-gave-all'd it while everybody else was going to the bank. It's all sad."

When asked if he "wished ‘Hannah Montana' never happened," he said, "I hate to say it, but yes, I do. Yeah. I'd take it back in a second. For my family to be here and just everybody be OK, safe and sound and happy and normal, would have been fantastic. Heck, yeah. I'd erase it all in a second if I could."

Miley found success as an award-winning recording artist, winning her first Grammy in 2024. However, the family drama continues to affect her in various ways. 

"The divorce between her parents has put a strain on her relationship with her dad, and it's been hard to connect with him in the last year," a source previously told E! News. "She hopes they can eventually work on their relationship."

MILEY CYRUS' FAME FROM BILLY RAY'S DAUGHTER TO DISNEY, ‘PUSHING SEXUAL BOUNDARIES,’ TOPLESS PHOTO DRAMA

In her Hulu special, "Endless Summer Vacation: Continued (Backyard Sessions)," Miley made a rare comment about her dad and explained how fame affected them. 

"I think that’s where me and my dad’s relationship to fame and success is wildly different," she said. "Him feeling loved by a big audience impacted him emotionally more than it ever could me. When he feels special or important, it’s like healing a childhood wound, and I’ve always been made to feel like a star. It makes me emotional [to think about]."

Trace, a musician who lives in Nashville, has had his share of public struggles with addiction. Now over a year sober, Trace made a plea to his father after his inaugural performance sparked concern. 

"Since my earliest memories all I can remember is being obsessed with you and thinking you were the coolest person ever," he wrote on Instagram after Billy Ray's performance. "I wanted to be just like you. The day you adopted me was the happiest day of my life. Sadly the man that I wanted so desperately to be just like I barely recognize now. It seems this world has beaten you down and it’s become obvious to everyone but you."   

Trace continued, saying he and "the girls have been genuinely worried about you for years but you’ve pushed all of us away.

"We haven’t talked in a while but I’m over a year and half clean from alcohol. Guess what? I feel amazing," he added. "I don’t know what you’re struggling with exactly but I think I have a pretty good idea & I’d love to help you if you would open up and receive the help. You know how to reach me. Till that day comes I will continue to pray for you."

Noah, the youngest of the Cyrus family, has never been one to shy away from speaking her mind. 

In 2022, shortly after her parents' divorce, the singer-songwriter released a song titled "Noah (Stand Still)" with the help of her father. 

Billy Ray expressed his joy at his daughter's strength and resilience after releasing the song, and Noah responded by calling her dad "my hero and inspiration."

Noah's relationship with her mother, Tish, has not been as smooth.

Noah was seemingly caught in a love triangle after Tish married Dominic Purcell, who Noah reportedly had a casual relationship with before he began dating Tish.

Noah is now in a new relationship, engaged to fashion designer Pinkus.

Braison Cyrus has mostly stayed out of the public eye. However, recently he's been in his dad's corner. 

"I've spent this past year getting to know my dad better than I ever have," Braison, who is working on his dad's forthcoming album, said in a press release. "I’ve heard stories, jokes and songs that I don’t think anyone else has.

"It’s an opportunity to tell my dad’s story through music, and I’m fortunate to be able to take it. Music, stories and family are the most important things to my dad, so to bring the two together is a full-circle endeavor."

MILEY CYRUS SAYS BILLY RAY SEES FAME ‘WILDLY DIFFERENT’: ‘I’VE ALWAYS BEEN MADE TO FEEL LIKE A STAR'

However, Trace recently called out his little brother for seemingly enabling his dad.  

One fan recently inquired about the relationship on Trace's Instagram page, writing, "Braison is posting your dad is happy and healthy. I'm confused"

Trace responded by writing, "Birds of a feather flock together."

Brandi, the oldest of the bunch, has mostly remained by her mother's side throughout the years. 

During an appearance on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast in 2024 with Tish, the two firmly disputed Billy Ray's past comments about how "Hannah Montana" ruined their family. 

"Absolutely not," Tish said when asked if she agreed with Billy Ray's assertion that the Cyrus family had been "destroyed" by the show.

"Not at all," Brandi agreed. "I mean the family’s not destroyed, first of all. We’re doing great."

"No, I just think he was having a moment," Tish said. 

Post Malone's gone country, and it's challenging "traditional country stereotypes," according to one music expert.

The star's genre shift landed him five of eight Grammys nominations. The artist is up for best recording package with his album "F-1 Trillion," and best country album. 

His song featuring Morgan Wallen, "I Had Some Help," was nominated for best country song and best country duo/group performance. Meanwhile, the rapper's country collaboration with Beyoncé, "Levii's Jeans," was nominated for best pop duo/group performance.

"F-1 Trillion" also features a handful of big-name country artists, including Wallen, Dolly Parton, Tim McGraw, Blake Shelton, Brad Paisley, Chris Stapleton, Lainey Wilson and Jelly Roll.

RAPPER-TURNED-COUNTRY ARTIST POST MALONE CREDITS DAUGHTER FOR SAVING HIS LIFE

The singer's decision to align himself with country stars already at the top of the charts "generally fast-tracks" a transition, according to branding expert Doug Eldridge.

"When compared to 'country western' of 40 years ago, modern country is more up-tempo and pop-infused but still built around a core group of relatable issues: love, loss, faith, family and America," Eldridge told Fox News Digital. "It's arguably never been a better time for Malone — or anyone else — to dip their toes in the warm waters of country music."

COUNTRY MUSIC WORLD STANDS BY MORGAN WALLEN DESPITE ROLLER-COASTER YEAR

Post Malone debuted his country album, "F-1 Trillion," Aug. 16, days after he performed for the first time at the Grand Ole Opry. The singer was introduced by country star Brad Paisley, who is featured on Post Malone's single, "Goes Without Saying."

However, Post Malone's country reinvention has been "in the making for years," according to industry expert Lyric Mandell, co-founder of artist development and media management firm Tutti Agency.

"Since 2015, Post Malone has hinted at his eventual dive into country and folk music, once tweeting that he would fully embrace the genre by the time he turned 30," Mandell explained to Fox News Digital. 

"Now, just under 30 and true to his word, he continues to lean into personal narratives that have always defined his music, like struggle and nostalgia, while leaning into country music’s emotional core and killer collaborators. The transition doesn’t feel forced because it isn’t; it’s a logical next step rather than a trend-chasing pivot that has been in the making for nearly a decade.=

"From a media theory perspective, Post Malone’s shift mirrors the shifting landscape of country music, where artists like Jelly Roll and now Post Malone are challenging traditional country stereotypes," she added. "The genre is embracing a rawer, more diverse group of artists who blur the lines between country, rock and hip-hop. This shift creates the perfect conditions for Post Malone’s crossover to feel both innovative and organic."

Post Malone hasn't completely changed his tune. He worked alongside pop star Taylor Swift in 2024 to release "Fortnight," which has also been nominated for multiple Grammys. The duet is up for song of the year, record of the year and best music video.

"Genres suck," Post Malone previously told The New York Times. "It’s easier to catalog music that way. But at a certain point — and the cool thing is that it’s moving towards this — why can’t you mix all this together and make something that’s truly unique to you?"

The move "reflects a broader trend of genre-bending" in today's music industry, Mandell said.

"For him, this transition doesn’t feel like an abrupt evolution or total reinvention, but rather a natural shift. His music has always been rooted in the storytelling traditions that are fundamental to both genres."

Post Malone's country reinvention began in his personal life. The rapper moved from Los Angeles to Utah in 2019.

"I love living here in Cottonwood Heights," Malone previously said in a video shared by the city. "It’s the most amazing place ever, and I have had such a great time over these years, and I love you guys, too."

The singer has become a part of the community, performing at the NBA All-Star Game in Salt Lake City in 2023. Post Malone also helped design a Raising Cane's restaurant in Utah's Midvale.

Tom Selleck was spotted on a solo outing to McDonald's the day before the actor celebrated his milestone 80th birthday.

The "Magnum P.I." star was photographed in his car while picking up fast food at a drive-thru in Thousand Oaks, California on Tuesday. 

On Wednesday night, Selleck was seen holding hands with his wife Jillie Mack after enjoying a birthday dinner with family and friends at the upscale Italian eatery Tuscany il Ristorante in Thousand Oaks.

The couple, who have been married since 1987, were joined by their daughter Hannah, 36, for the celebration. 

TOM SELLECK RISKS LOSING CALIFORNIA RANCH WITH CANCELATION OF 'BLUE BLOODS'

Selleck was casually clad in a dark red button-down shirt under a light brown blazer with a tan jacket, blue jeans and olive green sneakers. 

Jillie, 67, wore a black and beige striped maxi-dress with a light brown leather jacket, a black cross-body bag and black ankle boots.

Selleck carried a cigar box while Jillie held a gift bag as they strolled hand in hand down the street.

In a December interview with Parade, Selleck said that he had given little thought as to how he planned to celebrate turning 80.

"I’m trying not to count," he said. "I stopped celebrating birthdays a while back. I intend to keep working. I’ll probably have dinner with maybe my brother and my sister and Jillie, just go out to dinner, kind of be quiet and not make a big deal of it."

While speaking with Parade, Selleck said he was looking toward the future after his hit show "Blue Bloods" came to an end.

The Emmy Award winner played Commissioner Frank Reagan in the crime drama for 14 seasons from 2010 to 2024.

Selleck explained that he is not planning to retire anytime soon and expressed his hopes to make a return to the Western genre in a project led by "Yellowstone" creator Taylor Sheridan.

"A good Western’s always on my list," he said.  "I miss that; I want to sit on a horse again."

Selleck, who lives with Jillie on a 63-acre ranch in Ventura, California, previously starred in seven Westerns, including "The Sacketts," "Concrete Cowboys," "The Shadow Riders," "Quigley Down Under," "Last Stand at Saber River," "Crossfire Trail" and "Monte Walsh."

While Selleck quipped that offers for new acting roles aren't "pouring in," he added that "some people are thinking of me."

"I don’t know where my next job will take me," he said. "People ask, ‘What do you want to do next?’ I’m not sure. I don’t want to do Frank Reagan II."

Selleck later shared his thoughts on starring in a potential "Blue Bloods" spin-off, saying "I’m open to suggestions because I love Frank Reagan, but nobody’s really asked."

"I don’t see him retiring and going off somewhere," the actor added. "If he goes off to a small town, I’d rather do more ‘Jesse Stone’ movies."

Selleck played police chief Jesse Stone in nine TV movies from 2005 to 2015. The films were based on Robert B. Parker's "Jesse Stone" novel series.

During his interview with Parade, Selleck told the outlet that he wasn't aware of plans for another "Jesse Stone" movie but didn't rule out reprising the role in the future.

"It would be an interesting challenge because Jesse is older now," he said. "There’ve been quite a few years between shows. That doesn’t mean he isn’t a viable character. Everywhere I go, one of the things I get asked is, "When can I see another 'Jesse Stone'?"

At the time, Selleck admitted that coming to terms with the end of "Blue Bloods," which aired its final episode on Dec. 13, had been difficult. 

"The hardest part for me is we had the ‘Blue Bloods’ family and we had the actors’ family," he said. "They’re all my pals. I miss them. It’s going to take a lot of getting used to."

Justin Baldoni's team has launched a new website amid his ongoing legal battle with "It Ends With Us" co-star Blake Lively.

The website, thelawsuitinfo.com, which was published Saturday, featured a landing page with links to two PDF files, including a copy of a newly amended complaint that the 41-year-old actor filed against the 37-year-old actress and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and another document with a 168-page "timeline of relevant events" that showcased new emails and texts related to the case. 

Both documents were filed Friday in New York federal court ahead of the case's first hearing, which is scheduled for Monday.

Lively has claimed she was sexually harassed on the set of "It Ends With Us" and filed a lawsuit against Baldoni, his Wayfarer studio and former PR representatives in December. The same day Lively filed her suit, Baldoni filed a $250 million suit against The New York Times for a December article about Lively's lawsuit and the alleged smear campaign Baldoni attempted to run against his co-star.

Weeks later, Baldoni then named Lively and Reynolds in a separate $400 million defamation lawsuit in which he accused the Hollywood power couple of attempting to hijack "It Ends With Us" and create their own narrative. 

Baldoni's amended complaint alleged Lively had been working with The New York Times weeks before the article was published in December. 

The documents stated that metadata embedded within The New York Times article indicated the outlet "had already begun building its defamatory Article no later than October 31, 2024." 

The lawsuit claimed that "careful observers reported that viewing the HTML source code for the Article revealed references to a 'message-embed-generator' that referred [to a] date of ‘2024-10-31.’"

According to the documents, The New York Times created a tool to display Lively's texts in the article Oct. 31, which Baldoni's legal team suggested was evidence the story was first generated on or before that date.

"It may seem unsurprising and even respectable that a news organization should work for weeks or months before publishing a purported investigative report," the documents say. 

"But the significance of the timing of these elements of the defamatory Article is that they strip away the legal shields that Lively, the Times, and the other Lively Parties were likely relying on to protect their malicious acts of defamation, such as the litigation privilege and the fair reporting privilege."

In a statement to Fox News Digital, Baldoni's lawyer, Bryan Freedman, addressed the amended complaint. 

"The decision to amend our lawsuit was a logical next step due to the overwhelming amount of new proof that has come to light," Freedman said.

"This fresh evidence corroborates what we knew all along, that due to a blind pursuit of power, Ms. Lively and her entire team colluded for months to destroy reputations through a complex web of lies, false accusations and the manipulation of illicitly received communications.

"The ongoing public interest in this case online has ironically shed light on the undeniable facts pertaining to The New York Times and how heavily Ms. Lively and her representatives were not only deeply involved in the attempted takedown and smear campaign of Mr. Baldoni, Wayfarer Studios and their teams but that they themselves initiated it."

In a statement to Fox News Digital, The New York Times Company's representative, Danielle Rhoades Ha, pushed back against claims made in the amended lawsuit.

"The Baldoni/Wayfarer legal filings are rife with inaccuracies about The New York Times, including, for example, the bogus claim that The Times had early access to Ms. Lively's state civil rights complaint," she said.

"Mr. Baldoni's lawyers base their erroneous claim on postings by amateur internet sleuths, who, not surprisingly, are wrong. The sleuths have noted that a version of the Lively state complaint published by The Times carries the date 'December 10' even though the complaint wasn't filed until more than a week later. The problem: that date is generated by Google software and is unrelated to the date when The Times received it and posted it."

Representatives for Lively did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

Karla Sofía Gascón, the first openly trans actor to be nominated for an Oscar, apologized and ditched X after multiple controversial tweets were resurfaced.

Gascón, who is currently a contender for the Academy Award for "Best Actress" after starring in the movie "Emilia Pérez," faced backlash for old social media posts about Islam and George Floyd. 

In one 2020 post that was reportedly viewed and translated from Spanish by Variety magazine, Gascón shared a photo of a Muslim family in a restaurant, and wrote, "Islam is marvelous, without any machismo. Women are respected, and when they are so respected they are left with a little squared hole on their faces for their eyes to be visible and their mouths, but only if she behaves. Although they dress this way for their own enjoyment. How DEEPLY DISGUSTING OF HUMANITY."

This was not the only post from the performer criticizing Islam, however, as Gascón also proposed in 2020, "Until we ban religions that go against European values and violate human rights, such as Islam, under the protection of freedom of worship, we will not end part of the huge problem we face."

The performer slammed other religions by name, writing in a 2021 post, "I am so sick of so much of this sh--, of islam, of christianity, of catholicism and of all the f---ing beliefs of morons that violate human rights."

In a post from 2020, shortly after the death of George Floyd, the performer wrote, "I really think that very few people ever cared about George Floyd, a drug addict swindler, but his death has served to once again demonstrate that there are people who still consider black people to be monkeys Without rights and consider policemen to be assassins. They’re all wrong."

The Academy Awards nominee had also criticized the Oscars in 2021, "More and more the #Oscars are looking like a ceremony for independent and protest films, I didn’t know if I was watching an Afro-Korean festival, a Black Lives Matter demonstration or the 8M. Apart from that, an ugly, ugly gala."

Since then, Gascón appears to have ditched the X platform and apologized for the controversial statements, telling The Hollywood Reporter in Spanish, "I’m sorry, but I can no longer allow this campaign of hate and misinformation to affect neither my family nor me anymore, so at their request I am closing my account on X." 

The performer also claimed to have been "threatened with death, insulted, abused and harassed to the point of exhaustion."

"I want to acknowledge the conversation around my past social media posts that have caused hurt," Gascón said in a statement provided by Netflix. "As someone in a marginalized community, I know this suffering all too well and I am deeply sorry to those I have caused pain. All my life I have fought for a better world. I believe light will always triumph over darkness."

Fox News Digital reached out to Gascón's management and did not receive an immediate reply.

Meghan Markle has plenty of support in her corner. 

Weeks after a scathing Vanity Fair report not only described the Duchess of Sussex as "cold and withholding" to her staffers, but dubbed her and Prince Harry as the "local villains" of their ritzy Montecito neighborhood, actress Abigail Spencer, who has been close friends with Markle since their reign on "Suits" in 2011, said that the negative press can sometimes be difficult to read for those closest to the mom of two. 

"It’s very painful as a friend," she told Page Six at an American Heart Association event in New York City on Thursday. "But she is the most glorious human being on the planet, and so we just have to get behind her and support her."

Markle is no stranger to negative press. 

Last month, the Duchess caught heat for postponing her new Netflix series, "With Love, Meghan," amid the LA wildfires. 

"It would have been wrong to launch her new show while the wildfires continue to rage through L.A.," royal photographer Helena Chard recently told Fox News Digital. "I have to say it’s a first, her giving some thought to the release date of her series. She usually releases her work at the most inappropriate time, to the dismay and wrath of the general public."

"The public have understandably constantly berated her for being tone-deaf. She is hoping the public see her in a new light as a caring, helpful and kind person, thus changing their current perception of her."

Spencer said Markle's new show will highlight the person she actually is. 

"What I love about it is, you know, Meghan is one of my best friends, and I feel like the whole world is going to see, like, an authentic, very cool, very lovely insight into who she actually is as a person," she teased. "You’re also going to learn a lot! I’ve learned a lot from her myself."

MEGHAN MARKLE'S 'SUITS' CO-STAR ABIGAIL SPENCER SPEAKS OUT AGAINST BULLYING 'UNTRUTHS'

In 2021, the actress penned a lengthy description of Markle, two days after Buckingham Palace confirmed in a statement that it was launching a probe into accusations that Prince Harry's wife had bullied a staff member.

"She’s modeled nothing but generous professionalism on sets and an even more generous friendship in private. And on that night, she took my friends as her own. I've learned so much from Meg. The power of a handwritten note. The loveliness of surprise flowers. That she has a perpetual Rolodex in her brain of recommendations for the heart, soul, & body," Spencer wrote.

The "Rectify" actress went on to share her memories of Markle supporting her through good times and bad, and specifically recalled a time she "physically held me in my darkest hours after my dad died."

"After a gut-wrenching break up she brought me into her home & nursed me back to health. Soup & salad waiting in the kitchen, just, if I needed it. She’s taken my son in as her own. I can’t tell you the value of having another working mother I can lean on when with the pressures of visibility & child-rearing woes become overwhelming," Spencer continued.

She referred to Markle as a "safe harbor" and "someone I can fall apart in front of."

Jennifer Lopez shimmered as she walked the red carpet at the premiere of her latest film, "Kiss of the Spider Woman," at the Sundance Film Festival, wearing a sheer black gown with a sparkly spider web design on it.

The singer and actress accessorized the Valdrin Sahiti gown with black velvet high heels, a black velvet clutch and a few rings on her fingers. Her makeup included a nude lip with dark eyes, including bold eyeliner and lashes, paired with an elaborate updo reminiscent of old Hollywood glamour.

She posted multiple photos from the evening on social media, sharing with her fans in one of the captions that "this project has been such a labor of love" and that she's excited for her fans to see it.

"You really looked so beautiful!" one fan wrote on a different post featuring the red carpet look. "I have never thought of spiders as being beautiful, and yet, here we are. Wow," another wrote, while a third told her "you never miss."

She also paired the look with sheer black high-heeled shoes, a few rings and small diamond hoop earrings. The star wore her hair in a low bun with a few strands left out to frame her face.

While co-hosting on "Today with Jenna & Friends," Ballerini gave some insight into her relationship with her boyfriend Chase Stokes.

"I often hear, ‘They make me a better person.’ I like ‘bigger,’" Ballerini said. "I feel like when you get into a relationship, when you’re really ready for it, you’re already better. You should be a really healthy, good, whole version of yourself going into it."

Danica McKellar looked stunning as she celebrated her 50th birthday with a ballroom dancing-themed party, wearing a sparkly disco-ball inspired sequined mini dress with a halter neckline. 

"Dancing truly lights up my soul and gives me a powerful motivation to stay in shape. I really think it keeps me young in mind, body and spirit!" McKellar said in a statement.

She posed for photos with many of her guests, which included fellow '90s child stars, friends and other Great American Family actors, including Candace Cameron Bure and Jesse Hutch.

Bure was all smiles as she posed in a sequined two-piece set composed of a long sleeve top and a matching high-waisted skirt. Hutch kept it casual in jeans, a black shirt and a black suit jacket over it.

Weeks after Ryan O'Neil's home was destroyed in the LA fires, his son, Patrick O'Neil, is reminiscing about the sentimental memories made at the beachfront home in Malibu. 

Patrick, the son of the late Academy Award nominee, spoke with Fox Business Network about how the sudden loss of the home — which Ryan shared with longtime partner Farrah Fawcett — has impacted his family and explained why they may not be able to rebuild the "legendary' house. 

"The house that my dad bought and built from 1972 on created so many wonderful memories for me and my family," Patrick said. "My sister Tatum, my brother Griffin, my younger brother Redmond, my dad, Ryan and Farrah. I mean, we're talking about, I met Steve McQueen in that house. Van Morrison walked up the house. Brad Pitt, beat him in pool in that house. I mean, it was legendary. We had some great times playing frisbee with my dad on the beach. I'm going to keep all these memories. I lost a lot of mementos. Those are just things. But I'm going to keep the memories. And I pray for all these people that are suffering right now. I really do."

O'Neal and Fawcett lived together in the Malibu home for several years before the actress died in 2009. The "Paper Moon" actor died from congestive heart failure in 2023.

While Patrick's memories are forever with him, he's unsure if he'll be able to rebuild the family home. 

"I'm not sure I'll be able to afford to live here," he admitted. "I don't know about insurance. How much is it going to cost to rebuild a house there? … We had two, you know, original houses that were smaller next to us. Are they going to build giant big houses? And it's just, you know, I just don't see how, I don't see that I have the means and the ability to rebuild and live in Malibu anymore, sadly."

Despite the unfortunate circumstances, Patrick said his dad would have most likely used humor to push through. 

"My dad had a wicked sense of humor, so he might have made a joke to find a way to get a laugh out of the most tragic situation," he admitted. "He was very, very strong. He probably would have been one of those that wanted to stay in the house. And, you know, we would have had to drag him out, literally."

"He was very strong. He would have been resilient. He would have found a way to rebuild for sure," he added.

Contributing to the saturation of wives-focused television series in the 2010s was "Mob Wives," a docu-series following the lives of Italian women married to men serving prison sentences for mob-related crimes.

The reality show starred main protagonists Drita D'Avanzo, Carla Facciolo, Karen Gravano and Renee Graziano, daughter of infamous Bonanno crime family consigliere Anthony Graziano, and detailed tumultuous friendships and marriages, chaos and brutal banter.

"I received a call from a producer," Kelly Gorsky, a specialist in therapy, psychology and anger management, told Fox News Digital. "He said, ‘I have a complicated situation, a complicated potential client. Can you handle a difficult person, and would you be open to possibly treating them on a TV show?"

'MOB WIVES' STAR RENEE GRAZIANO SPEAKS OUT AFTER ARREST, CAR CRASH: ‘GRATEFUL TO BE ALIVE’

Since 2007, Gorsky has treated clients through her private practice.

With over 1 million viewers per episode, Season One of "Mob Wives" aired recorded sit-down sessions between Gorsky and Graziano.

"I learned to be challenged," Gorsky said. "I actually learned composure, self-filtering, self-control, self-regulation, even when a client attempts to place you in very uncomfortable circumstances."

Season One offered viewers a look into the stages of grief as a major story line unfolded in Graziano’s life. Her former husband, Hector "Junior" Pagan, was revealed as an FBI informant who wore a wire and snitched on her father. Graziano detailed her struggles to Gorsky during weekly sessions.

She acknowledged one key takeaway was learning how to support a client through the most challenging and unusual circumstances.

"Whatever they wanted to use out of that 50-minute session, it was out of their discretion," she said. "They got to use whatever content they wanted."

Unsure about the value of sessions recorded in an industrial building for viewers’ entertainment, Gorksy didn’t sign on for additional seasons.

The show aired for six seasons. The final episode aired one month after beloved "Mob Wives" cast member Angela Raiola, known as "Big Ang," died from complications of lung cancer.

Gorsky authored the book "Anger Management: 101," providing insights on how individuals can avoid engaging in or propelling arguments. She details coping skills, tools and information for an alternative to anger, which she initially applied to her own life.

"I had a tremendous amount of anger, friction, yelling, screaming, arguing, and it was just a roller coaster," she said, describing her childhood. "It wouldn’t stop."

"Anger is a pretty healthy emotion that provides you with a cue that something is wrong," Gorsky said.

The court-approved book is written in short chapters, and clients are encouraged to work through them gradually.

"The end goal is to make better decisions because you have better skills to resolve conflicts," Gorsky said.

"Even if you’re the most reactive individual, most of the time, everything is preplanned," she said. "All your plans, situations, people, events, gatherings; you know whom you’re with. You know who the people are. You know what the usual conflicts are."

Gorsky recommends planning management of expectations and responses versus flying blind and welcoming the alternative.

"Usually circumstances are predictable," she said.

Amy Schumer once hopped on board the Ozempic trend, but the side effects were so intense she had to stop. 

During a recent appearance on "The Howard Stern Show," the comedian, 43, opened up about her scary experience trying the medication for weight-loss purposes.

"I have this gene - GDF15 - which makes you extremely prone to nausea which is why I was so sick during my pregnancy. So, I tried Ozempic almost three years ago and I was like bedridden, I was vomiting and then you have no energy but other people take it and they're all good," she explained.

"I lost 30 pounds so quick," said Schumer, who is mom to 4-year-old son, Gene, whom she shares with husband, Chris Fischer. "I looked great and I couldn't lift my head off the pillow, so what's the point?"

Ozempic, which is a semaglutide injection, was originally approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes, but the medication has increasingly been prescribed off label for weight loss, along with several other similar medications. 

TIM MCGRAW, FAITH HILL'S DAUGHTER GRACIE BLASTS TROLL ACCUSING HER OF USING OZEMPIC TO LOSE WEIGHT

The actress has been open about her Ozempic-use before and once blasted celebrities for saying they lost weight by simply eating "smaller portions" and "lying" about using the injectable drug. 

"Like, shut the f--- up!" she said during an appearance on "Watch What Happens Live!" in 2023. "You are on Ozempic or one of those things or you got work done. Just stop."

"Like, a year ago, I tried it," she said. "It's like, you know, you try it.  And I was one of those people that felt so sick and couldn’t play with my son. I was so skinny, and he’s throwing a ball at me and [I couldn’t]."

"And you're like, ‘OK, this isn’t livable for me,'" she added. 

Schumer is not the only celebrity who has opened up about her experience using the drug. 

During a recent episode of his "This Life of Mine" podcast, James Corden explained why it "didn't really work" for him.

"I tried Ozempic, and it won’t be surprising to you when you look at me now, that it didn’t really work," Corden told guest Richard Osman. "I tried it for a bit, and then what I realized was I was like, ‘Oh no, nothing about my eating has anything to do with being hungry.’ All this does is make you feel not hungry. But I am very rarely eating [because of hunger]."

"You are looking at someone who’s eaten a king size, and when I say king size [Cadbury] Dairy Milk — one you give someone for Christmas — in a carwash," the comedian added. "None of that was like, ‘Oh, I’m so hungry’. It is not that, it’s something else."

Venture capitalist and conservative activist Paul Martino credited President Donald Trump’s election win for a documentary featuring Martino's family being screened at the Sundance Film Festival.

"Bucks County, USA" focuses on two 14-year-old girls, Evi and Vanessa, maintaining a friendship despite opposing political beliefs in a bellwether county of one of the seven swing states in 2022. The five-part docu-series asks if "we can learn that it’s possible to coexist and love one another despite our differing political views" and "discover the humanity in ‘the other side.’"

"Bucks County, USA" was also one of two docu-series to feature at Sundance, where it debuted the first two episodes on Tuesday.

Martino, Vanessa’s father, took part in the documentary as a conservative perspective based on his work founding the Back to School PA PAC to elect candidates in favor of keeping schools open during the Covid-19 pandemic.

PRO-PALESTINIAN PROTESTERS SHUT DOWN SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL'S MAIN STREET

At the premiere in Utah, Martino expressed his surprise at the series being featured in general, suggesting Trump’s win had encouraged more political dialogue even in film.

"One of the things that is fascinating about ‘Bucks County, USA’ being chosen as an official selection is it really looks like, in the era of Trump being re-elected, Sundance has pivoted to the middle," Martino said on X. 

"All of the sudden, the discussions are about ‘wow, I need to listen to the other side.’ So it is satisfying to be here at Sundance, which is known to be so left-leaning, knowing that there is a new openness to dialogue."

He continued, "I think the reason there’s an openness to dialogue is Trump won, and he won pretty big. And I think people are starting to realize, ‘this wasn’t a one-time little fluke when it came down to Hillary Clinton and the weirdness in 2016.’ This guy won the popular vote in 2024, and now I think people are like ‘Okay, maybe I shouldn’t just be in the resistance for four years. Maybe I should find out what the other person down the street from me is thinking.’"

In a clip sent to Fox News Digital, Martino addressed a theater audience at Sundance who criticized his beliefs after watching the series.

"Why can’t you be like your kids?" one audience member exclaimed.

Martino responded to the backlash by giving his perspective on what led him to activism.

"We were successful in the school policies around Covid, but you know what happened? The public sector’s unions decided to run ads about what an awful person I was, literally turning it into a personal battle," Martino said. "I was literally ready to take my ball and go home, but they decided they were going to make me a villain and my family. So what should I have done? Should I have just gone home? Or should I have actually gone into the fight?"

Members of the audience cheered at his response.

"You’ve clearly watched the movie then, seeing the humanity in the film is what this is about, given your response," Martino added. "But what’s crazy to me is that you attacked me. That is the start of this."

In another video posted on Martino’s X account on January 22, Martino discussed his involvement in the process after being told by the filmmakers that "nobody on the right has agreed to be in the documentary."

"[Robert May] did exactly what he promised me, that he would portray it as it happened. I didn’t want to be portrayed as good or bad. I just wanted the facts to be told. And when the facts are told, guess what? Us on the right look pretty damn rational. Our policies were the right ones. Our point of view was the right one, in particular around Covid policy," Martino said.

Up-and-coming Nashville comic Aaron Weber says we’re in the middle of a major comedy "boom" right now.

Just ahead of the debut of his comedy special, "Signature Dish," the 32-year-old Alabama native and one of the Nashville comedy scene’s biggest rising stars, marveled at the relevance of the comedy scene in pop culture, as well as the massive popularity of certain standup comedians.

"Yeah, people talk a lot about the comedy boom of the 80s, but we're in the middle of, I think, a way bigger boom now," Weber told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview, adding, "And I think the big part of that is, it's never been easier to consume comedy." 

THEO VON ATTENDS TRUMP'S 'INSPIRING' INAUGURATION, DECLARES IT'S 'TIME TO PUT AMERICA FIRST'

Fox spoke to Weber this week from inside Zanies Comedy Night Club, one of the centerpieces of the comedy scene in Nashville and the venue where he filmed his new special.

Premiering this Friday on his friend and fellow comic Nate Bargatze’s YouTube channel, "Nateland Entertainment" – the 30-minute special is jam-packed with the jokes Weber says he has had the "most fun" performing over his nine years so far in the industry. 

"It was nine years of doing standup almost every night that kind of got me to there. That was my 30 [minutes] where I was having the most fun," the comic said. 

Showcasing the earnest yet self-deprecating style he brings to his comedy routines, Weber told Fox that he’s "pretty proud" of the new special, while describing it as a set that’s about "kind of nothing."

"So I'm excited for people to see that. It's a bunch of nonsense. I'm asked all the time, like, what do you talk about on stage? Kind of nothing."

ROB SCHNEIDER’S NEW BOOK CALLS ON ALL AMERICANS TO DEFEND THEIR FREE SPEECH: 'STAND UP’ OR ‘WE’LL LOSE IT'

Hinting at a bit of the nonsensical material covered in "Signature Dish," Weber mentioned how one of the jokes is a riff on everyone’s favorite candy-flavored antacid.

"I talk about Tums for quite a bit on this special, so there's definitely not a lesson that I'm trying to teach anybody. We're just trying to have fun and hopefully people do that."

When asked about the special’s title, the comic said it’s a reference to a bit in there about food, which is a major theme of his standup.

"The special is called ‘Signature Dish,’ which is a line in one of the jokes. I like that. It's food. I like food."

Weber, who was born and raised in Montgomery, Alabama, before graduating from Notre Dame and then moving to Music City to pursue standup, told Fox just how "excited" he is that he gets to be a comedian, even on "the bad nights."

"But on the whole, like this is a crazy thing to get to do for a living. Standup comedy’s so much fun. It's so much fun to perform for people."

Comedy may appear to have been an abrupt turn for Weber, who majored in marketing and minored in philosophy at his alma mater, but he told Fox that he’s always loved the art form and finally took a chance to really pursue it after college. 

"I was a fan of standup comedy for a long time, watched it all the time, had routines memorized. I would perform for the family as a kid, but never thought about doing it until I was in college, and I realized there's no barrier to entry. Anybody can show up."

He mentioned how he started doing open mics "every night when I could" during his post-college job, stating that within a "few months I was taking it pretty seriously."

Eventually, he quit that job and comedy’s "all I’ve been doing since."

Despite the obstacles and rejection that fledgling comics often face, Weber told Fox that he was committed to making it in the industry, noting that he understood throughout his journey it might be a long and bumpy road. 

"I went into this knowing it's going to take some time. I'm going to make a lot of decisions that make no financial sense. You know, I'm going to leave work early and drive three hours to do a 5-minute spot and make no money. So, you have to do a lot of that before any of this makes sense."

"But the thinking was, ‘I want to do this. I want to get good at this,’" he recalled, mentioning that he "never thought about quitting."

Weber did admit that had he been a bit older and had more responsibilities, he might not have pursued a standup career, stating, "I had no responsibilities at the time, really. So it was a good time to do it."

"I think if I had a daughter like I do now and a family that depends on me, I would have been a little more cautious."

The comedian spoke to Fox News a bit about the Nashville comedy scene, describing it as a "really good place" for a budding comedian to cut their teeth. "I think there are a lot of opportunities to get quality stage time quickly," he said.

However, he also said it’s become a great place to have a standup career in general, whereas in the past, a comic looking to make it would have to "move to L.A., you had to move to New York. Now Austin's up there, too."

"I really don't think that's the case anymore. I think a lot of guys have proven that, guys like Dusty Slay," Weber said, mentioning the Nashville standup star and his co-host on Nate Bargatze’s podcast. The comic added that his colleague has "basically only been in Nashville for his career and is now a theater act with Netflix specials."

"It is possible to have a good career in comedy out of Nashville, and I remember thinking, ‘Well, if I can do that – I love the city. I got a house here with my wife, I want to raise my daughter here,’" the comic said, adding, "’If I can do comedy out of Nashville, that's the dream.’"

'CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD' STAR SAYS THE CHARACTER SHOULD NOT REPRESENT AMERICA

Part of what has made Nashville so special for the young comic and family man is Zanies comedy club. The venue is low-lit, intimate, and has a modest stage framed by a blue-curtain background and a large "Zanies" sign. The venue seats only around 300 audience members, though Weber told Fox that's a large capacity for a comedy club.

Along its walls are rows upon rows of headshots belonging to each of the comedians who have ever headlined the club – a roster that includes comedy giants like Eddie Murphy, Bill Burr, Dave Chappelle, and the late Sam Kinison.

"To me, there's no more prestigious stage in this city than this one," Weber said, referring to Zanies. "Every comedian I've ever cared about, every person I've ever idolized, looked up to, modeled my career and my thinking after, they perform right there on that stage behind me. And I get to touch that stage pretty regularly here, and that's not lost on me at all."

That's high praise coming from someone who maintains that he was the youngest standup comic in history to perform at one of the world’s most renowned stages, the Grand Ole Opry, at the age of 27.

About that, he quipped, "I've done limited research on this, but I think I'm the youngest to ever perform there and nobody's called me out on that yet. So, I'm going to keep saying it till somebody, somebody younger than me does it."

Weber’s other claim to fame is his guest co-host slot on "The Nateland Podcast" – started in 2020 by Bargatze, a standup phenom who had the highest earning comedy tour in 2024, according to Billboard.com.

Weber told Fox that the podcast has been "huge" for his career, saying that much of his standup audience is introduced to him through it. 

"The overwhelming majority of people that come to see me live, that's how they first got to know me," he said. 

"It's almost like a home base for my career. That's what the podcast feels like, and it's just a ton of fun. I mean, I love all three of those guys," he said, mentioning Bargatze, Slay and co-host Brian Bates. "I have a blast recording it every week, so it's yeah, it's a huge part of my career for sure."

When asked about the standup success of his fellow co-hosts, like Bargatze – who broke the attendance record for Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena during his 2023 tour – or the massive prevalence that other podcasters and comedians now have in media, Weber said it’s evidence of the comedy "boom" that’s being driven by social media.

Mentioning how simple it is to get content to the masses, he told Fox, "Like, I can tape a set tonight, put it up on TikTok and get a million views. And it used to be you had to wait till a network or somebody would offer you a special, and then that special would air on TV for an hour once, you know, and then you hope somebody saw it."

"Comedy’s never been bigger," Weber declared. He pointed to another superstar comic and his massive success as evidence of the medium's relevance. "They're in the mainstream in a way that they haven’t in a while. Shane Gillis is like an A-list celebrity now. Like, he's everywhere… It’s only a handful of comics that have been like that."

As far as his own vision for success goes, the comedian told Fox that he has more modest ambitions than breaking massive attendance records or being an A-lister.

"Five years from now, if I'm still doing comedy as a full-time job, that'll be a win for sure," he said. "But I've already done more than I set out to do when I started, which is just to be able to only do this. So that's a win."

Weber’s "Signature Dish" on the "Nateland Entertainment" YouTube channel is streaming now.
