The Challenge’s Zach Nichols has seen some of the best all-time participate in MTV’s competition series.
His castmates have included legends such as Ct Tamburello, Johnny Bananas, Jordan Wiseley, Cara Maria Sorbello, and Laurel Stucky.
Many of those champions showed up for the recent Battle For a New Champion season, which featured Horacio Gutierrez returning for his second campaign.
While Horacio reached the final on Ride or Dies in his first season, he failed to do so a second time.
He went into back-to-back eliminations and ultimately lost to his girlfriend, Nurys Mateo, in a three-person event just before the Season 39 final.
During the recent season reunion, he even called himself overrated because he had not truly proved himself in the competition yet.
The former show winner Zach agreed, calling the young star “overrated” thus far on The Challenge.

Saturday Night Live wasted no time after its short hiatus in tackling some of the biggest news from the last month or so: football and George Santos.
Castmembers Kenan Thompson, Molly Kearney, Mikey Day, Devon Walker and James Austin Johnson took the stage for Fox Sports’ NFL on Fox, where they touched on the dangers of football, with some help from their robot, Cleatus.
“Why do humans make other humans play football?” Cleatus asked during the cold open for the Jan. 21 episode. “Does it not seem barbaric?”
“Oh, don’t love that,” Day’s Howie Long replied, adding. “I guess we gotta go back to making the robot dance instead.” To which Cleatus replies, “Just wait until the uprising, I’ll make you dance, you weasel.”
Walker’s Michael Strahan then jokes that he didn’t catch all that because it went in one tooth and out the other.

First time host Aubrey Plaza returned to her NBC Page roots giving a backstage tour of the show, with a surprise cameo from former “SNL” cast member and “Parks and Recreation” star Amy Poehler and President Joe Biden.
“Wow, it is great to be here hosting ‘Saturday Night Live.’ This is a dream come true and yes I mean that,” she said.
“People think I’m weird because of the characters that I play,” she said. “My real family is here including my Grandma Margie. They all came up here from Delaware. I was voted most famous person from Delaware, I beat Joe Biden.”
“That’s a fact and he was pissed, he was livid,” she said.
The President then appeared, saying, “Aubrey, you’re the most famous person out of Deleware and there’s no question about that. We’re just grateful you made it out of ‘White Lotus’ alive.

The Nintendo Entertainment System is the most important console in the history of home gaming. After the video game industry crash of 1983 and several years of arcade success, many still wondered whether video games still had a place in homes everywhere. Then, almost out of nowhere, Nintendo and the Nes rescued our favorite hobby from the abyss and put it on the fast track to becoming the cultural cornerstone we know it as today.
The main reason for the Nes’ massive success story was its enormous library of great titles. Many of Nintendo’s long-standing franchises got their starts on the Nes, and while some of the console’s games have aged better than others, all of them deserve our love and respect for helping reignite the industry and kicking off the fun that would ensue for decades to come.

Much like the life of the mammoth pro wrestling personality it profiles, “Nature Boy” is both a celebration and a warning siren for would-be aspirants to fame and fortune. The latest installment of Espn’s “30 for 30” documentary series is under no delusion that Ric Flair didn’t enjoy (or at many points, bask in) his popularity as one of the biggest pro athletes in the world. But Rory Karpf‘s film also provides some helpful and needed context for the man that he was when he wasn’t landing pile drives. Those two figures may have eventually blurred together to the point of being unrecognizable, but the film does an admirable job of trying to distinguish between the two.
In true biographical fashion, “Nature Boy” charts Flair’s upbringing in an adoptive home, through his less-than-stellar academic career, to the origins of his wrestling superstardom. Eventually embracing a career that he initially shied away from,...

Remember “Tecmo Bowl?” Sure ya do. Remember the time you tackled Bo Jackson in the Nintendo Entertainment System game? Trick question, that never happened, liars. Jackson’s Nes avatar was completely unstoppable in the classic 8-bit video game, something Kia brilliantly capitalized on in a new ad for its 2017 Sorento. In the TV commercial, Bo bails on the game to go and grab his small SUV from the parking lot. He then uses it to bowl over the defense, scoring a 99-yard driving — err, rushing — touchdown. Fortunately, no one was vehicular-ly manslaughter-ed in the process. Also Read: Look How 'Pokemon.

“I thought it would be much more uplifting,” Apatow said during a Q&A after a screening of the Espn Films “30 for 30” movie in New York on Wednesday. “As it went along, I think we became more and more aware of how recent some of their troubles were, so it changed the documentary in a big way.” Apatow first got involved with the project after Espn Films Manager of Development Jenna Anthony tweeted at the director asking if he had any ideas for “30 for 30,” to which he said, “How about Doc and Darryl?”

The North Pole is abuzz with activity as the big guy and his reindeer team are about ready to roll. But I think we can all remember one particular Christmas when a certain Pumpkin King made Santa's trip a little difficult. Today's Slay… The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Easily one of the most beloved holiday films for horror fans, not only has the exquisite vision that is The Nightmare Before Christmas become iconic, it also kept Hot Topic in business until Harry Potter and Twilight came along. It's a beautiful love story that is appropriate for everyone from children to adults, and the best part…it's all about horror! However, in the gentlest of ways.
From the two-faced Mayor to the werewolves, vampires and (my personal favorite) the Tor Johnson-esque guy with the axe in his head ("Bunny!"), everyone has their most beloved Nightmare Before Christmas character. Danny Elfman's music is brilliant,...

One of the great strengths of Espn's "30 for 30" documentary series is the way that each installment seeks to provide context and narrative drive for stories that might not otherwise have inherent appeal to non-fans. These are docs about sports, but they're (usually) films first, ones that present their subjects as a whole and pick out interesting historical or personal angles on familiar or unfamiliar topics. Whether looking a pros, amateurs, others working in the industry or fans, with a few exceptions, these aren't just worshipful TV features about legends in their field. Well, "You Don't Know Bo" is. But that's part of its point -- it's as much about lost potential as it is about what its subject actually achieved. Closing out fall's "30 for 30" slate tonight, Saturday, December 8th at 9pm Et on Espn, the film is a profile of Bo Jackson, the professional baseball player who played pro football...
