Damon Wayans has been a household name since 1990, when the sketch comedy show In Living Color caught fire and launched the Hollywood careers of several of its stars, including Jim Carrey, Jamie Foxx, David Alan Grier, and even Jennifer Lopez, who was one of the show’s dancers. Of course, Damon was one of several Wayans siblings involved with the show — Keenen Ivory Wayans created it, and along with Damon, brothers Marlon, Shawn, and Dwayne and sister Kim also appeared on the show regularly. It was definitely a labor of love for the Wayans family, and Damon — who is currently starring on the CBS comedy Poppa’s House – said it was their father who gave the kids a strong work ethic, and it’s...

In the third act of “St. Denis Medical’s” fourth episode, “Salamat You Too,” a group of nurses are on break when the head nurse, Alex (Allison Tolman), interrupts to gently reprimand their previous insubordination. Earlier, the self-identified “Filipino Mafia” didn’t like when Alex split up their “clique,” so they simply ignored her orders and stuck together. Then, in an effort to reestablish her authority, Alex walks to the dry-erase board and tries to remind her colleagues that she’s the boss — a simple declaration that nevertheless requires a six-part written breakdown (including one particularly abstract acronym).
Alex is the focal point of the scene. She’s leading the meeting — issuing directives, speaking emphatically, gesticulating wildly — and Tolman’s ability to channel relatable frustrations through passive aggressive instructions is pretty funny. But even with her talent on full display, the funniest bits take place in the background. One even starts before the scene itself,...

A series like The Office or Parks and Recreation has the ability to make the ordinary, funny. Or at least help you find the humor. Last week, we were introduced to the staff at St. Denis Medical. The half hour comedy tells the tale of a small group of health care workers dealing with the inane and the insane. The cast includes the very funny David Alan Grier, Allison Tolman, and Wendi McLendon-Covey. The story of an underfunded hospital, and all the problems that go with it also includes Josh Lawson, Kaliko Kauahi, Kahyun Kim, and Mekki Lepper. You can check out new episodes on Tuesday, at 8 Pm Et.

They say laughter is the best medicine, so it’s a good thing the NBC comedy machine is back up and running this week, ready to cure those Americans currently suffering from a general sense of unease. Set at an understaffed hospital in Oregon, “St. Denis Medical” is a mockumentary seemingly constructed from the well-preserved remains of some of TV’s best and brightest workplace comedies, from “Parks and Recreation” and “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” to “The Office” and “Abbott Elementary.”
Created by Justin Spitzer (“Superstore”) and Eric Ledgin (“American Auto”), the series — the first two episodes of which are now streaming on Peacock — features a talented cast that includes Allison Tolman, Wendi McLendon-Covey, David Alan Grier, and Josh Lawson. By filtering its comedy through an issue affecting millions of Americans — the country’s broken healthcare system — “St. Denis Medical” is both topical and funny, making it the awards contender to watch this weekend.

“St. Denis Medical,” a comedy that breaks away from traditional medical dramas by showing the dull side of healthcare in an Oregon hospital that doesn’t have enough money, is set to launch on NBC. The show, which starts on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. Et/Pt, claims to look at medical workers’ daily problems in a documentary-style way.
Justin Spitzer and Eric Ledgin created the show to show the human side of healthcare, which is often ignored. Their idea came from a true story about hospital staff who tried to talk to an incompetent surgeon but were met with pushback from administrators who were worried about losing money.
Thanks to the ensemble cast, this office comedy has a lot of depth. Allison Tolman plays Alex, a kind but tired nurse, and David Alan Grier plays Ron, her cynical boss. Wendi McLendon-Covey plays Joyce, the hospital’s quick-talking executive director. The group also includes Josh Lawson,...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for St. Denis Medical Season 1, Episode 1, “Welcome to St. Denis.”] St. Denis Medical has finally arrived on NBC, and it’s delivering strong Parks and Recreation and The Office vibes as the network explores the inner workings of the titular hospital through the lens of a mockumentary. The pilot episode quickly establishes the players at the heart of this sweet series, which focuses on workaholic nurse Alex (Allison Tolman) as she tries wrapping up her duties for the day to make it in time for her kid’s musical. Every time she is about to step away, something pulls Alex’s attention back in and doctor Ron (David Alan Grier) is quick to call her out for not adhering to normal hours or work-life boundaries. Ron is more jaded, seeing patients as broken-down cars that he’s endlessly repairing and patching up. Casey Durkin / NBC Alex and Ron’s dynamic feels...

The world of medical TV shows is typically filled with gorgeous people swooping in to perform dangerous and daring operations as they dart from rare condition to in-office romance. That’s not “St. Denis Medical.” NBC’s latest comedy is more likely to feature two nurses feuding over a candy bar than pulling off a medical miracle.
“Part of the genesis of this show was talking about what is the day-to-day of a non-beautiful ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ or ‘ER?'” executive producer Justin Spitzer told TheWrap during the Television Critics Association’s 2024 summer tour.
For showrunner and EP Eric Ledgin, the true heart of the series made itself known when he was talking to a doctor “friend of a friend.” In the doctor’s hospital, there was a surgeon who was performing bad surgeries and endangering patients. So the staff banded together and worked to get this problematic surgeon fired.

St. Denis Medical — Pictured: David Alan Grier as Dr Ron — (Photo by: Ron Batzdorff/NBC) St. Denis Medical tries to do for hospitals what Abbott Elementary does for schools and The Office does for, well, offices. But, although the show is done in a mockumentary style, David Alan Grier thinks the show goes much deeper than you would expect for a comedy. The emotions the show will elicit, Grier said it will be real, and they could have you laughing and crying at the same time.

“The Office,” “Parks and Recreation,” “Abbott Elementary” and now “St. Denis Medical,” the latest in a line of television workplace mockumentary comedies. Mentioning these previous titles shouldn’t be a knock against “St. Denis,” as it feels like it was designed to purposefully coast on these titles’ previously established rhythms, ensembles, dynamics and storylines. It’s a gentle, familiar-feeling show, and while it really works when it finds spiky, surprising and even uncomfortable ruffles to the formula, it plays pretty well when it’s just pulling it off too.
To describe the show’s world is as simple as saying “‘Modern Family’ but the family is doctors,” or “‘Scrubs’ but they’re aware of the camera.” The Emmy-nominated Allison Tolman (“Fargo”) leads an ensemble of medical professionals as our Leslie Knope-esque overachieving supervising nurse Alex.

The sitcom writer Justin Spitzer had his first script credit on “Scrubs,” the archetypal workplace comedy set in a hospital. Twenty years later, Spitzer returns to the genre with NBC’s “St. Denis Medical,” co-created with Eric Ledgin (“Rutherford Falls”). In between, Spitzer has developed a trademark approach that translates seamlessly to health care. A graduate of “The Office,” he makes shows set on the front lines of the modern economy: the sales floor of a big-box retailer (“Superstore”) or the headquarters of a flailing car manufacturer (“American Auto”). (Ledgin worked on both.) Spitzer characters don’t debate issues at length like Norman Lear ones did, but their everyday lives are unmistakably downstream of larger social and political forces.
“St. Denis Medical” is a worthy entrant in this larger project — and, therefore, a sharp break from the bro-y bonhomie of “Scrubs.” Our introduction to the namesake setting, a “safety-net hospital” in Oregon,...

In 1995’s Jumanji, Kirsten Dunst and Bradley Pierce discover a peculiar board game in the attic of their new home. Words appear as they roll the dice: “This will not be an easy mission. Monkeys slow the expedition.”
That scene came to life over in South Carolina on Wednesday afternoon, when the Yemassee Police Department reported that 43 rhesus macaque monkeys escaped from the Alpha Genesis Primate Research Center.
Authorities said the monkeys are very young females weighing “approximately six-seven pounds” who have not been tested on due to their age and size.

Since ABC’s hit series “Scrubs” wrapped its nine-season run in 2010, Hollywood has mostly shied away from comedies set in hospitals — at times a tough place to find laughs — though there have been outliers like Fox and Hulu’s “The Mindy Project,” Warner Bros. and Adult Swim’s absurdist “Childrens Hospital” and HBO’s critically acclaimed “Getting On.”
NBC is the latest to attempt it with “St. Denis Medical,” a new sitcom that blends this challenging setting with a popular format: mockumentary. Can Hollywood find comedy inside a hospital in 2024, especially from a show that focuses on hospital workers’ everyday lives and following a global pandemic?
To try to find out, TheWrap did an exclusive set visit in the last week of filming for the show’s 18-episode first season, which is set to premiere on Nov. 12. TheWrap spoke with the “St. Denis Medical” cast and creators about crafting the comedy series.

TV’s mockumentary genre has taken on the doldrums of office life (“The Office”), the intricacies of blended families (“Modern Family”), and the fundamentals of elementary schools (“Abbott Elementary”). But now, NBC is about to go where no series set in the comedy verite format has gone before: a hospital. “St. Denis Medical” will premiere on November 12 on NBC and will stream later on Peacock. Watch the trailer above that introduces the medical characters played by Wendi McLendon-Covey, David Alan Grier, Allison Tolman and more.
The minute-long video begins with Tolman’s supervising nurse Alex complaining, “A couple weeks ago I got a promotion. It came with a small pay bump and a large responsibility bump.” Tolman is a prior Emmy nominee for “Fargo” (2014) who most recently was seen on television shows like “Shining Vale,” “Gaslit,” and “Why Women Kill.”

Cue the laughter — or, at least, the laugh tracks! The U.S. broadcast networks are hoping to bring the levity with this fall’s slate of new TV comedies. Only five are debuting before the end of the year — with Variety reporting that the networks are introducing a record-low number of scripted shows this fall — but the newcomers should tickle a wide variety of funny bones. After getting to know these freshman series, here’s what we’d recommend for whom. If you wish there could be a hospital-set Abbott Elementary, check out St. Denis Medical. NBC calls St. Denis Medical “a mockumentary about an underfunded, understaffed Oregon hospital,” much like how ABC’s Abbott Elementary is a mockumentary about an underfunded, understaffed Philadelphia school. Wendi McClendon-Covey, David Alan Grier, Allison Tolman, Josh Lawson, Mekki Leeper, Kahyun Kim, and Kaliko Kauahi star in this series “where the dedicated doctors and...

Created by Keenan Ivory Wayans, the sketch comedy series In Living Color was a smash when it first aired. It nabbed the Emmy in its category for its debut season, beating out the likes of SNL, David Letterman, and Tracy Ullman. But that would only last so long, as the key players behind the show—the Wayans Brothers—had a falling out with the network, ultimately leading to a short run.
As Marlon Wayans recounted on the Club Shay Shay podcast (via People), In Living Color found themselves being hoodwinked by Fox, who had put the show on the syndication market without making proper compensation for its creator. “I remember when we left In Living Color because Fox was syndicating the show and it was hurting Keenen’s pockets. Keenen was like, ‘Nah, you ain’t gonna do this to me. My family said, ‘F*ck this money.’ And we all left In Living Color.

NBC is giving a new workplace comedy a whirl with St. Denis Medical, a series meant to give us that medical based storytelling we crave with a side of laughter. We'll be taken along for the ride with the staff of an emergency department located in an underfunded and understaffed Oregon hospital.
They're managed by an Executive Director who has big dreams for the medical center. Lofty ones. Enamorous. Joyce (Wendi McLendon-Covey) wants to take their "safety net" hospital--which provides care to anyone who walks through their doors regardless of whether they have insurance and no matter their financial status--into an international medical destination. She's got the large scale model to prove it.
But given what we can see in the first four minutes of footage that NBC has released, there's no way she's making her 5-10 year goal of reaching this achievement though this isn't because of a workforce that lacks dedication.

The debut feature from writer-director Kobi Libii, this blackly comic fantasy comedy has a solid central idea, but never quite gets to grips with its own satirical intent. Ultimately, it works better as an offbeat romantic comedy, thanks to an engaging central performance and charming chemistry between the two leads.
Justice Smith stars as Aaron Mbondo, an artist in Los Angeles whose yarn sculptures aren’t quite cutting it with the art gallery crowd. After a painful show, during which he’s mistaken for a waiter, insult is added to injury when he’s nearly beaten up by some white guys who think he’s a mugger. However, he’s rescued at the last minute by Roger (David Alan Grier), a server he recognises from the gallery.

It’s been quite a long wait, but the Television Critics Association’s annual TCA Awards returns to an in-person event this year for the first time since 2019. After the Covid-19 pandemic and last year’s Hollywood strikes turned everything virtual for five years, the 40th annual TCA Awards takes place at the Langham Pasadena on July 12, during the half-way point of this summer’s TCA press tour.
And looking to get things back on track is host and critics’ fave Wendi McLendon-Covey.

Who says 1994 was a classic year for cinema? Netflix begins today to make that argument, curating a release of 17 films that turned 30 this year. The streamer has its list below. I have mine, and with the exception of the seminal Farrelly Brothers-directed Dumb & Dumber with Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels, and Luc Besson’s Leon: The Professional, the film that stars Jean Reno and a sinister Gary Oldman and introduced the world to the outsized talent Natalie Portman, and maybe Ron Howard’s The Paper, there’s a lot missing. How about Forrest Gump, The Shawshank Redemption, Pulp Fiction, The Lion King, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Clear and Present Danger, Sicario, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Interview With the Vampire, Speed, Ed Wood, and the other two films in a starmaking year for Jim Carrey, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and The Mask.

Martin Mull, who played Colonel Mustard in Clue, Roseanne’s boss Leon Carp in the ABC comedy Roseanne and starred on Norman Lear’s Fernwood 2 Nite, died Thursday at his home. He was 80.
The news was revealed by his daughter Maggie Mull, an exec producer on Family Guy.
“I am heartbroken to share that my father passed away at home on June 27th, after a valiant fight against a long illness. He was known for excelling at every creative discipline imaginable and also for doing Red Roof Inn commercials. He would find that joke funny. He was never not funny. My dad will be deeply missed by his wife and daughter, by his friends and coworkers, by fellow artists and comedians and musicians, and—the sign of a truly exceptional person—by many, many dogs. I loved him tremendously,” she wrote.
