Mary-Louise Parker (pictured) has shown up as a recurring guest star on this show recently, playing a very blunt, self-assured and assuredly sexy political operative who is vetting Paul Giamatti’s assistant district attorney for a possible gubernatorial run. Parallel to this process, Giamatti’s estranged wife, played by Maggie Siff, has just invited him back into her life, and her bedroom – and she’s another power player on every level, a very modern spousal variant on Ru

VEEP By David Bianculli

This may be the sharpest-written comedy on TV right now, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ Selina may be the sharpest-tongued comic character. But no matter how funny she is, and how funny this show is, some of the political antics and observations on this show are so extreme, and so absurd, yet so recognizable, it almost hurts to laugh.

PRESIDENT TRUMP RALLY By David Bianculli

Tonight is the night of the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington, D.C., which carries with it a lot of history. It was at that event, in 2011, that then-President Barack Obama skewered Donald Trump, who was in attendance that year. Trump also was ridiculed by that year’s host, Seth Meyers, and the one-two punch of humiliation that night reportedly stung so much that it was on that fateful night that Trump decided to get revenge and run for President himself. Now, s

2017 WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS' DINNER By David Bianculli

Even though the President of the United States is the traditional guest of honor, and final comedic speechmaker, at this annual event, President Donald Trump will not appear. Instead, he’s throwing his own event in Harrisburg, a rally celebrating… himself. But the show must go on. And tonight, the White House Correspondents’ Dinner goes on with Daily Show correspondent Hasan Minhaj as the host.

FULL FRONTAL WITH SAMANTHA BEE: NOT THE WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS’ DINNER By David Bianculli

And in the final Trump-related event of the night, since President Trump is holding his own event instead of attending the White House Correspondents’ Dinner tonight, so is Samantha Bee. She’s holding her own event… and her home network TBS, not C-SPAN, is covering it.

BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID By David Bianculli

One of my favorite movies ever, period. Made in 1969, it's going to be 50 years old soon... but it hasn't aged a day. The acting, writing, directing, it's all stunningly brilliant. Paul Newman and Robert Redford may be the best screen team since Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers -- and even when they're sharing the screen with others, the result is pure genius. Even during a knife fight...
