We Can All Thank Dan Levy For Shedding Light on This Sweet Saturday Night Live Tradition

-

When Dan Levy hosted Saturday Night Live on Feb. 6, he not only made his SNL debut, but he restarted a sweet host tradition. "It's interesting because I feel like I didn't start it, I simply restarted something," Dan exclusively told POPSUGAR. "Backstage there was a little note from Woody Harrelson to Phoebe Waller-Bridge and I asked what it was and they said, 'Oh, it was just like a little note of encouragement that Woody left for Phoebe.' And I thought, 'What a lovely gesture, why not pick it up and run with it?' So I asked if I could leave one for Regina. I think, technically, I simply restarted what I hoped would become a lovely little chain reaction. It took a year and a half in between, but we got it going."

Knowing that Regina King would be hosting next, Dan passed the baton by leaving her a note of encouragement in her dressing room. "Regina! You got this! Much Love, Dan," he wrote on a Post-it note. Regina then followed suit by leaving one for Regé-Jean Page when he hosted the following week, and of course, he did the same for Nick Jonas when it was his turn to host. This weekend, Daniel Kaluuya will be taking over as host, and we're hoping Maya Rudolph kept the sweet gesture going. Guess we'll find out soon enough!

A 20-year-old astrophysics and economics student from New Haven, CT, Jack Atkins made quite the first impression in The Circle season two premiere. He tells viewers straight off, "I'm honestly down to go down as the biggest villain in Circle history. I don't really care." I mean, an intro package doesn't get much better than that. Kudos, Jack! Or shall we say . . . Emily? In the first episode, we learn Jack is here to play a "very strategic, manipulative, cutthroat game." Being a college student, Jack says he's a self-declared nerd but with a wild, goofy side. Nervous his authentic personality (and BDE) might cost him the $100,000 prize, he enters The Circle group chat as Emily, a girly girl from the Windy City, who also happens to be a close friend of his IRL. Jack explains in his confessional that he wants fellow competitors to look at his profile and go "'That's a face I can trust.'" "When it comes to strategy ther...

What Selling Tampa Tells Us About Diversity in Real Estate and Selling Sunset

-

When it comes to reality TV on Netflix, Selling Sunset is prime real estate (pun intended). Season four dropped on Nov. 24 , and a brand-new spinoff, Selling Tampa , followed on Dec. 15. Unlike Selling Sunset , which follows the drama behind the elite real estate brokerage firm The Oppenheim Group , Selling Tampa spotlights a Florida-based, women-led, Black-owned business, Allure Realty. The show adds much-needed representation to Netflix's real estate reality TV lineup. But Selling Tampa 's creation compels us to take a hard look at Selling Sunset and the representation among its agents in an industry that lacks diversity. In its first season, the cast of Selling Sunset was all white. Agents like Amanza Smith (a mixed-race Black woman) and Vanessa Villela (who is Mexican) joined The Oppenheim Group in seasons two and four, respectively, but most of the nine women dishing the drama on screen on Selling Sunset remain white. Looking at the numbers, this isn't too far ...
