Season 2 of "Scream" pre-
mieres Monday, May 30, on MTV.
A laughable duo: NBC really
wants to bring the variety show
back. The peacock network is tak-
ing its second shot this season at
revitalizing the format that once
ruled the nation's TV screens,
with "Maya and Marty in Man-
hattan," premiering Tuesday, May
31.
The title refers to the show's
two hosts, Maya Rudolph
("Bridesmaids," 2011) and Martin
Short ("Mars Attacks!," 1996).
Both are "Saturday Night Live"
alumni, and they appeared to-
gether in last year's "SNL" 40th
anniversary special, where the
chemistry between them was im-
mediately apparent.
That's not the only "SNL" con-
nection here, though. "Maya and
Marty" is produced by Lorne Mi-
chaels, "SNL's" legendary creator
and producer, and the show is
aired live from New York City's 30
Rockefeller Plaza, which has been
"SNL's" home since its inception.
On top of that, current "SNL" cast
member Kenan Thompson is also
one of "Maya and Marty's" main
cast members, even if he doesn't
get to have his name in the show's
title.
Now that the duo of Rudolph
and Short are back together for
their own show, they're being a bit
coy about the exact structure of
"Maya and Marty." The show is
broadcast live from NBC's studios,
and features sketches that spoof
topical topics, such as the latest ce-
lebrity hijinks, crazy current events
and the like. There are musical
numbers, and, of course, a host of
guest stars.
Last fall, "Best Time Ever With
Neil Patrick Harris" failed to draw
enough of an audience to earn it-
self a second season, but NBC isn't
giving up on the variety show for-
mat. "Maya and Marty in Manhat-
tan" premieres live Tuesday, May
31, on NBC.
Dressed for war: Two screen
legends are finally together for the
first time ever. Sir Anthony Hopkins
("Hannibal," 2001) and Sir Ian
McKellen ("The Hobbit: An Unex-
pected Journey," 2012) are two of
the most respected actors of our
time, but until now they've never
appeared alongside each other on
screen. "The Dresser," a film airing
Monday, May 30, on Starz, is about
to change that.
Set during World War 2 in a
small English theater, "The Dress-
er" stars McKellen as the assistant
of a Shakespearean actor (Hop-
kins) who goes missing mere hours
before the curtain is scheduled to
rise on their production of "King
Lear."
Emily Watson ("The Theory of
Everything," 2014), Edward Fox
("Gandhi," 1982) and Sarah Lan-
cashire ("Coronation Street") also
star in the production, which is
based on the 1980 stage play,
which itself was adapted into a
film in 1983.
