Exclusive: UTA has signed popular comedy band Wolves of Glendale for representation in all areas.
Founded in 2022, and boasting a sizable following on social media, the band consists of Ethan Edenburg on guitar, Eric Jackowitz on drums and Tom McGovern on keys. They got their start when McGovern moved west, after a long stint playing piano bars in New York, and linked up with Edenburg and Jackowitz, who were searching for the missing piece in their trio. The first day they sat down together, they knew they had something special, as they wrote their hit song, “Vapin’ in Vegas.”
The Wolves took off nine months in when Kyle Gass introduced their tunes to Tenacious D frontman, Jack Black, who instantly took not only to their comedic style, but also to their high-quality musical talent. Black subsequently asked them to open for Tenacious D on New Year’s Eve 2022, in front...

The first time Ethan Edenburg, Eric Jackowitz, and Tom McGovern hung out, they wrote a song. It was March 2022, and they were in Los Angeles, toying around with their instruments, when the conversation turned to what it would be like to have a midlife crisis while visiting Las Vegas.
“It’s a Sunday on the Strip. My divorced-ass moved to Vegas,” McGovern started singing as he played piano. “My wife left and took the kids. And it’s a good thing that she did ’cause they were annoying as shit.

Early on in the season finale of Sunday night’s (May 23) episode of “American Idol,” judge Luke Bryan informed fellow country singer Chayce Beckham he earned the ultimate prize: a chance for the two of them to go fishing.
“Win or lose, we’re going bass fishing,” Bryan said.
Those plans are now on hold, as the 24-year old Apple Valley, California resident was crowned the show’s 2021 victor.
“Your world is about to change,” judge Katy Perry told the now former forklift driver, who’ll release music via BMG and is Nashville bound.
Beckham was an early favorite in auditions after wowing the judges with a performance of ‘What Brings Life Also Kills” by Kolton Moore and the Clever Few, prompting Perry to remark he sounded like “the heart of America.”
Throughout the competition, Bryan repeatedly emphasized how “cool” Beckham was on stage, at one point going so far...

President Trump attacked the NBA last week, saying the league is in “big trouble” and blaming its supposedly poor ratings on the players kneeling during the national anthem to protest police brutality and racial inequality.
“It’s been horrible for basketball. Look at the basketball ratings. People are angry about it,” Trump said during an interview on Clay Travis’ radio show. “They have enough politics with guys like me. They don’t need more. There was a nastiness about the NBA and the way it was done. The NBA is in trouble. Big trouble.”
However, making a concrete assessment of the NBA ratings since re-start, or finding one single reason for their decline, is far from simple.
According to Nielsen numbers, NBA viewership (P2+) was down around 13% versus last season before the shutdown (prior to March 12). The first week of games since the re-start were down 4% from the NBA’s pre-corona average,...

All sports games have been canceled. Now Fox Corporation is trying to get a bevy of blue-chip sponsors to plan for their return.
Executives at Fox Sports have in recent days held videoconferences with some of the advertising industry’s most influential executives in hopes of starting conversations about placing ad dollars in live sports broadcasts scheduled for the third and fourth quarters. It’s one of the first signals that Madison Avenue, which has been plunged into chaos by the effects of the coronavirus pandemic on TV production, sees signs of normalcy approaching in months to come.
“I do hope that by the time we get to the last part of June, really July, you ‘ll see some of the sports back on. That’s purely conjecture on my part, but I think that’s what we are hoping and planning for,” says Seth Winter, executive vice president of sports sales for Fox Sports,...

One of TV’s oldest commercial formats is in danger of being blitzed.
Viewers who tune in to Thursday night games on Fox, “Monday Night Football” on ESPN and “Sunday Night Football” on NBC have likely seen such a maneuver multiple times over the course of the 2018 season, even if they weren’t aware of what was happening. During one recent ESPN broadcast, an announcer told viewers they were about to see “a PlayStation Vue ‘multi-view.’” The audience saw three different angles of the game on a single screen, with a logo on top telling them the experience was sponsored by Sony-owned gaming system.
The three-box extravaganza was the direct result of a new exchange set up this season by the NFL, which is allowing TV networks to run more daring placements of commercial messages – if only they drop a specific type of advertisement known in the industry as a “billboard.
