As he dances the precarious tango of being cast in Quentin Tarantino’s final film, Paul Walter Hauser knows one role he’ll definitely be taking on: that of the late, great Chris Farley. The Chris Farley Show: A Biography in Three Acts will bring the legendary comedian to a new audience with production from Lorne Michaels, who cast Farley on SNL back in 1990, a script from Tom Farley Jr. and Josh Gad in the director’s chair. 

Meanwhile, the WGA, the buzziest union in L.A., held its annual awards ceremony last night, and despite The Holdovers and The Bear claiming some of the evening’s top prizes, the biggest round of applause went to Drew Carey. The comedian-turned-game-show-host was thanked for his enormous generosity during the writers’ strike, where he stayed true to his promise to cover meals for striking writers at Hollywood institutions Bob’s Big Boy and Swingers (to the tune of at least $700k). The Price Is Right host remained modest in accepting this praise, stating, “It (was) the right thing to do.” 

Carey also gave thanks in return, adding, “​​Everybody in this room makes some actor a million, and you deserve all the money you get, all the credit you get. Thank you so much for everything you do. God bless all of you.”
