Jack Antonoff happily hits the carpet alongside his girlfriend Carlotta Kohl while attending the opening night of Jacqueline Novak: Get on Your Knees held at the Cherry Lane Theatre on Monday (July 22) in New York City.

The 35-year-old musician and model-photographer Carlotta made their official carpet debut at the event as they supported the star of the show Jacqueline Novak.

Also in attendance to show their support was Natasha Lyonne, Amy Poehler, Abbi Jacobson, Jacqueline Novak, Phoebe Robinson, Rachel Dratch, David Alan Grier, Judd Apatow, John Mulaney, Marisa Tomei, John Early, Mike Birbiglia, Bridget Everett and Murray Hill.

Get On Your Knees, presented by Lyonne and executive-produced by Birbiglia, is part feminist outcry and part coming-of-age story – Jacqueline Novak spins her material on the femininity of the penis and the stoicism of the vulva into an unexpectedly philosophical show.

“Jacqueline is a one of a kind voice for the ages,” Lyonne said in a statement. “I’m thrilled to present her show, as she is a total original whose linguistic gymnastics took my brain topsy turvy while doubling me over with laughter. I can’t wait for people to experience her hugely relevant show and singular artistry at Cherry Lane.”

Jack and his longtime partner Lena Dunham announced their break up in early January of 2018, and he faced some untrue Lorde romance rumors in the weeks following.

The Passage and The Cool Kids have been canceled by Fox.

The network made the announcement about the respective drama series and comedy series on Friday (May 10), Variety reports.

Both shows were on the air for just one season.

The Passage was executive produced by Ridley Scott and starred Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Saniyya Sidney. It focused on a botched U.S. government experiment that turns a group of death row inmates into highly infectious vampires, and an orphan girl who might be the only person able to stop the ensuing crisis.

The first season of The Passage also starred Jamie McShane, Caroline Chikezie, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Brianne Howey, McKinley Belcher III, Henry Ian Cusick, and Vincent Piazza.

The multi-camera comedy The Cool Kids hailed from executive producer Charlie Day and starred Martin Mull, David Alan Grier, Vicki Lawrence, and Leslie Jordan, who played friends at a retirement center.

“The TV folks invited me to meet them. I wasn’t looking [to do TV], I wanted to make movies,” show creator Keenan revealed after meeting with Fox executives after showing them his 1988 film, I’m Gonna Git You Sucka.

At the Bulleit experience, the cast and crew enjoyed delicious 3D printed cocktails served over a 3D printed cocktail bar composed of 7,000+ individually printed pieces.

David Alan Grier made an appearance on Busy Philipps‘ Busy Tonight on Monday (November 26) and revealed why he turned down the role of “Bubba Blue” in the beloved 1994 film, Forrest Gump.

“My manager sent me a script and she said, ‘I want you to read this.’ Uh, the lead character is a mentally challenged man. His best friend is mentally challenged. Now already I’m funky,” the 62-year-old actor recalled.

“I’m like, listen if I’m going to be playing a mentally challenged person, I got to be the lead, I can’t be no mentally challenged side kick,” David added. “It was Forrest Gump. So I read 20 pages and I said listen man, I’m not going in on this. He’s talking about shrimp the whole damn movie, no, nuh uh. I don’t get it. I don’t get it. So uh, she called me three times, she called me three times. She’s said, ‘The director loves you, Tom [Hanks], everybody.’ So that was lesson learned, it was all on me, and I screwed that up.”
