Jimmy Kimmel Proves That There Are Too Many Republican Candidates Right Now

Posted: 17 Sep 2015 09:16 AM PDT

With so many Republican candidates vying for a 2016 nod, it’s hard to keep track of everyone who has the potential to become the next president of the United States. Wednesday’s GOP debate even had to be split into two different sections to accommodate all the contenders.

On the episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! that aired following the debates, Kimmel sent his team to the streets to prove that point.

In the clip, regular people play a game called “Which of These People Is Running for President?” in which they are shown photos of three different people and asked to identify which one is a presidential hopeful.

Spoiler alert: they can’t.

Every participant shown gets the question wrong, incorrectly choosing TV personalities such as Jorge Ramos, Tony Goldwyn and Robert Guillaume.

One contestant thinks that it’s a trick question.

“It’s none of them,” he says, before the host of the game points candidate Marco Rubio out.

Kevin Spacey Reveals Who Frank Underwood Is Really Talking to on House of Cards

Posted: 17 Sep 2015 09:06 AM PDT

On The Late Show With Stephen Colbert Wednesday night, actor Kevin Spacey, who plays the conniving President of the United States on the hit Netflix drama House of Cards, explained who his character is really addressing during his monologues on the show.

“I’m talking to one person, and one person only,” he said, “and that is, Donald Trump.”

He also did an impression of Jimmy Stewart that moved fellow guest Carol Burnett.

The next and fourth season of House of Cards is expected to premiere in early 2016.

This Couple Recreated the 101 Dalmatians Opening for Their Engagement Photos

Posted: 17 Sep 2015 08:58 AM PDT

Forget Cinderella and Prince Charming. This couple used their engagement shoot to recreate one of Disney’s most adorable moments: Anita and Roger’s first meeting from 101 Dalmatians.

The happy couple, Corinne Jones and Tony Collier, told BuzzFeed that they met in college, and post-graduation, they even worked at Walt Disney World together. So when it came time to shoot engagement photos, they knew they wanted to include something Disney — and they wanted to make sure their beloved dogs were on hand, too. “Izzy and Mookie, although a bit older and pudgier, and sans spots, are the greatest family pets and we wanted to make them an indelible part of our memories,” Jones told BuzzFeed.

Collier posted the final results on Imgur, and they quickly went viral. Check out a few of the photos — and the original scene — below.

The ‘Hot Guy’ in the GOP Debate Audience Has Been Found

Posted: 17 Sep 2015 08:34 AM PDT

On Wednesday night, some Twitters users were fixated on a man sitting behind moderator Jake Tapper during the second Republican primary debate hosted by CNN at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. His looks transcended party lines, apparently. An example of the commentary:

CNN interviewed the man and found out he is 24-year-old Los Angeles native Gregory Caruso.

He told CNN that he is a fan of Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush, but is still not sure who he is going to vote for. He did tell CNN that he thought former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina did a “great” job and that former Governor of Florida Jeb Bush “improved.”

Caruso is a filmmaker who has attended the School of Cinematic Arts at the University of Southern California. He also looks up to Alfred Hitchcock, Billy Wilder, Frank Capra, Howard Hawks and John Ford. One of his recent projects is a documentary about American masculinity as told through manufacturers of products for men.

His relationship status, however, remains a mystery—he would not reveal it to CNN.

This Couple Turned Their Pregnancy Announcement Into a Horror Film

Posted: 17 Sep 2015 08:13 AM PDT

If there’s one thing that horror movies and pregnancy announcement videos have in common it’s that everyone always seems happy—at least at the beginning. That’s when things in horror films generally take a sharp detour into pure nightmare material while typical pregnancy announcements stay incredibly, nauseatingly chipper. Not so for Judy and Gavin Holt’s announcement. The couple took a page out of the horror genre and made a downright frightening birth announcement.

“I can feel it grow inside of me,” whispers Judy, while extreme camera angles and ominous music set the scene. A voiceover darkly announces: “There’s something in the oven!” Could it be a bun?

After a frightening trip to the doctor (“What’s happening to me?” Judy pleads) and an extreme close-up of a jar of Prego pasta sauce (get it?), soon enough, the message becomes clear: there’s a baby on the way. Hopefully one that doesn’t mind having extremely goofy parents.

Though a lot of viral pregnancy announcements come under fire for seeming (or actually being) fake, this video is so out there and unexpected it should still earn the creative couple a foot in the door in Hollywood’s horror community.

This Supercut of Movie Phone Calls Is The Best Game of Telephone Ever

Posted: 17 Sep 2015 07:54 AM PDT

There are certain tropes in movies that never make much of an impression until some Internet genius cuts and pastes a bunch of them together into one great supercut. Take for example the on-screen phone call. It rarely warrants a second thought as a stand-alone moment in a film, but when Burger Fiction puts them all together it plays like the best game of telephone ever.

From Drew Barrymore answering the phone in the opening moments of Scream to Harrison Ford as the president desperately calling for assistance in Air Force One or Napoleon Dynamite simply wanting a Chapstick delivery they are all connected via the telephone. In the supercut the phone calls blend together almost seamlessly with Michael Douglas in Wall Street calling an unfortunate soul trapped in Jigsaw’s basement of horrors in Saw who demands to know who he is talking to (it’s George Clooney in One Fine Day!)

Jeopardy! Contestant Tricks Alex Trebek Into Saying ‘Turd Ferguson’

Posted: 17 Sep 2015 07:34 AM PDT

If you don’t know the answer in ‘Final Jeopardy!’ it’s probably a good idea to give it your best guess. Or, alternatively, you can do one what one contestant did Wednesday night: sneak in a well-placed Saturday Night Live reference.

The category was Oscar-nominated songs, and this was the clue: “This song from a 1999 animated film about censorship had a word censored from its Oscar performance.” The contestant, Talia, had no idea so she wrote, “What is the Love Ballad of Turd Ferguson” and added a “hi Mom.”

Turd Ferguson, of course, refers to the fake name Norm Macdonald used while playing Burt Reynolds on SNL. (Turd Ferguson popped up again in the show’s recent 40th anniversary special.) It was pretty special to finally hear the real Alex Trebek (not the fake one played by Will Ferrell) say this name aloud.

Talia may have technically lost the game, but we’re pretty sure she was the true winner of the evening.

Watch Taylor Swift Sing ‘If I Die Young’ With The Band Perry

Posted: 17 Sep 2015 06:19 AM PDT

Taylor Swift continued her 1989 World Tour with another guest star in Indianapolis when The Band Perry joined her on stage.

Swift sang the hit song “If I Die Young” and posted a clip to Twitter and Instagram. The band was also excited to be there, calling it a “magical night.”

They weren’t the only stars in attendance, though. The Fault In Our Stars author John Green broke his recent “no social media” rule to reveal that he was in the audience, too.

The Band Perry joins a trove of other celebs who’ve joined Swift on her world tour, including Wiz Khalifa, Justin Timberlake, Julia Roberts, John Legend and many more.

Watch the Cast of Modern Family Dress Up Like Breaking Bad

Posted: 17 Sep 2015 05:46 AM PDT

Eric Stonestreet and Jesse Tyler Ferguson, who star as a married couple on Modern Family, dressed up as Jesse Pinkman and Walter White for a photo shoot with The Hollywood Reporter.

Leading up to the Emmy Awards, all eyes are on Modern Family, which could earn the record for most consecutive Emmys for best comedy.

Stonestreet and Ferguson start out looking tough, like the meth-making-drug-dealers they’re portraying, but then they shift into their flamboyant Modern Family characters, flicking a cigarette and gun with the casual nature of a gay California couple, making it that much more fun to see.

The rest of the Modern Family cast recreated other hit shows, with Julie Bowen dressing as Mary Tyler Moore, Sarah Hyland as I Dream of Jeannie and the ensembled as the cast of Cheers. Ted Bundy also got back into his old Married with Children character Al Bundy with his on-screen wife Sofia Vergara dressed as Peggy Bundy.

25 Classic Photos of Emmy-Winning Actors and Actresses

Posted: 17 Sep 2015 05:00 AM PDT

Correction appended, Sept. 17. 2015.

The last 15 years or so—at least since the world met Tony Soprano in 1999—are often described as a new Golden Age of Television. There are more shows than ever before, and movie actors who once graduated from TV to the big screen are flocking back to the small one for coveted roles. With the 2015 Primetime Emmy Awards coming up on Sunday night, LIFE.com looks back at the stars of the original Golden Age of Television—which began around the time the first Emmys were awarded, in the late 1940s—and the decades that followed.

From the 1950s era of Red Skelton and Lucille Ball to the ubiquity of Carroll O’Connor (All in the Family) and Peter Falk (Colombo) in the 1970s, Emmy’s leading men and women benefited from the stunning portraiture of LIFE’s photographers, who documented television history as it unfolded.

Liz Ronk, who edited this gallery, is the Photo Editor for LIFE.com. Follow her on Twitter @lizabethronk.

Correction: The original version of this story misstated the name of the TV show for which Carroll O’Connor won four Emmys. O’Connor starred in All in the Family.
