What’s the least amount of time someone’s been on television while still walking away with one of the industry’s biggest honors? If you guessed one minute and forty-nine seconds, you’d be absolutely correct. Claire Foy’s Emmy win for her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II in the fourth season of The Crown led to some structural changes within the nomination parameters — parameters that likely pushed ABC to ensure that Bradley Cooper’s guest spot as himself on Abbott Elementary this year totaled at least 116 seconds. The Television Academy’s revamp requires actors to appear in five percent of a show’s runtime in order to be eligible, and Philadelphia’s own nearly doubled that requirement with his appearance in the 20-minute episode.
Meanwhile, the Nintendo Cinematic Universe is coming for us. In a recent interview with Screen Rant, Chris Pratt hinted that The Super Mario Bros. Movie 2 is “just the beginning,” and that there are more storylines beyond Mario, Peach and Donkey Kong on the way. The self-proclaimed “Nintendo head” says there’s “no limit” for characters like Zelda and Link to piggyback off the smash success of the first film. If all is right in the world, a shot-for-shot remake of Challengers using Wii Sports characters will be among these NCU offerings.
Either way, Bradley Cooper and Bowser are no match for the most memorable characters on the timeline. Today’s funniest tweets include those about a pillow vampires would hate, a refreshing bidet experience and a pride flag for your high school bullies.
