George Santos, the New York Republican elected to Congress in November, is facing more allegations of major discrepancies in his resume.
An article published by the New York Times previously revealed that his claims of his employment and education history couldn’t be substantiated.
This is Santos’ second run after losing to Democratic Rep. Tom Suozzi in 2020. He brought Republicans to a narrow majority in the House after defeating Robert Zimmerman in a newly drawn district encompassing parts of Queens and Long Island.
Santos painted himself as a “seasoned Wall Street financier and investor” who worked for multiple firms including Citigroup and Goldman Sachs. Both companies told the Times they found no record of his employment. Both Baruch College and New York University, where Santos claimed to have attended, could not find records of him ever being a student.
The incoming representative is also under fire for allegedly lying about his philanthropic work.

On Aug. 5, Comedy Central announced a reboot to the classic 1991 cartoon The Ren & Stimpy Show. The show’s initial airing, as one of the three original Nicktoons (alongside Doug and Rugrats), was a milestone in cartoon television history, with its purposely crude yet dynamic visuals and heavily exaggerated animation and aesthetics. It also had a deeply complicated run. Ren & Stimpy was controversial both in public and behind the scenes and its sordid history includes creator John Kricfalusi’s inability to complete episodes on time, episodes Nick edited down or refused to air, and the criticisms of the show’s most disturbing aspects. Nevertheless the show was able to cement itself with a passionate, dedicated cult following.
That sordid history, however, reached an impassable point in 2018 when Buzzfeed reported a grotesque expose on Kricfalusi, and his grooming and dating of a 16-year-old girl during the show’s production. Before this point,...

After 20 years of floating in space with but a single VHS tape of their favorite cartoon to keep them entertained, America’s premier wallaby-cow-turtle trio returns to Earth — albeit a slightly different version than the one they remember — in the new Netflix special Rocko’s Modern Life: Static Cling, which hit the streaming service on Friday.
Unfortunately, not all of the classic Nickelodeon characters acclimate to their new surroundings with ease. While Heffer and Filburt immediately embrace this strange world of cell phones, energy drinks and 3-D printing, Rocko suffers from a bout of culture shock, desperate to regain any...

“Rocko’s Modern Life,” the animated children’s television show that aired on Nickelodeon from 1993 to 1996, will add a prominent transgender storyline to its upcoming 45-minute Netflix revival, according to EW.
“Rocko’s Modern Life: Static Cling,” picks up up 20 years after the series finale and finds Rocko, the exasperated wallaby, and his friends Heffer (an exuberant steer) and Philbert (an anxious turtle) returning to an Earth that’s very different than when they left. Suddenly, their hometown is awash with coffee shops, food trucks, cell phones, and many other modern conveniences. One other change: Their friend Ralph, the child of Mr. and Mrs. Bighead, has now become Rachel.
Since floating around in space for 20 years, Rocko is mourning the loss of his favorite show, “The Fatheads,” which Rachel created. He discovers Mr. and Mrs. Bighead have lost touch with their daughter since she left on a journey of self-discovery.

Creator Joe Murray answered some of our questions about the imminent Rocko revival movie.
Over twenty years since its last episode, the Nicktoons’ classic Rocko’s Modern Life will return to Netflix with the revival movie, Rocko’s Modern Life: Static Cling. We’ve seen the movie and it’s awesome. It looks and sounds just like it did in the old days but, as creator Joe Murray told us via email, he didn’t want to bring Rocko back just to retread old ground:
“The story that I came up with showed that we could do something interesting. At first, I didn’t know if we could add to the Rocko legacy. I didn’t want to do a reboot or one-off that was a watered-down version of Rocko. I wanted it to push it further with the characters and the story.”

If you grew up in the '90s (or raised '90s kids), then you know that this was a decade of hilariously strange cartoon characters. From CatDog to Aaahh!!! Real Monsters to SpongeBob SquarePants, the '90s (and Nickelodeon in particular) introduced dozens of cartoons that made you think, "Who in the world comes up with this stuff?," and one of the best (and weirdest) was definitely Rocko's Modern Life.
Created by Joe Murray, the series revolves around the titular Rocko, a talking Australian wallaby who lives and works in the fictitious O-Town with his dog Spunky and his friends Heffer and Filburt (a nervous turtle). The show may have ended after four seasons and 52 episodes in 1996, but we have some good news for you, '90s babies: Rocko is returning, and his life really is about to get modern.

Netflix’s upcoming revival of Nickelodeon’s “Rocko’s Modern Life” will feature a transgender character.
Entertainment Weekly reported on Wednesday that the 45-minute revival, which will stream on Friday, will see original character Ralph Bighead having transitioned into Rachel. “Rocko’s Modern Life: Static Cling,” will see Rocko, Heffer and Filburt return from space, where they have been since the series’ original finale in 1996. When they land on Earth, they have to confront a changed world.
“When I started writing [‘Static Cling’], I really started latching onto the idea of change and how society has changed and what’s gone on in the last 20 years and the development of our characters and how they would react to change,” series creator Joe Murray told EW. Murray, who voiced Ralph on the original series, will provide the voice for Rachel. “It felt natural, because it was not only about change, about somebody finding...

Nickelodeon's Rocko's Modern Life revival is now landing on Netflix with a set release date.
It's been two years since we first learned about the Rocko's Modern Life revival. Now the film is heading to Netflix and finally has an official release date. Titled Rocko's Modern Life: Static Cling, the film is set to release on August 9th, 2019.
The film picks up where the original series left off (Rocko and his friends mistakenly blasted off into space). Rocko's ran from 1993-1996 with 52 episodes over four seasons. Series creator Joe Murray will serve as executive producer of the (for now) one-off revival. You can read our behind-the-scenes feature story on the revival here.

Joe Murray, the creator of Nickelodeon series “Rocko’s Modern Life,” remembers “SpongeBob Squarepants” creator Stephen Hillenburg, who died on Monday at the age of 57.
I first met Steve through the big screen at the Ottawa Film Festival in 1992. His film “Wormholes” was in competition and, after watching it, I immediately knew we would get along well. I approached him in the lobby and told him about this show I was doing for Nickelodeon called “Rocko’s Modern Life” and asked if he would be interested in working on it. I was already in awe of his talent, and the two of us, neither having worked in television, thought it would be funny to see what kind of havoc we could bring to the medium.
Little did I know that, with SpongeBob, he would change the face of television forever.
His work on my show was top-notch. I’ll never forget staying up late,...

Some folks are chomping at the bit to see a Nicktoons movie that would integrate the lot of them, and there’s not a lot of reasons why it couldn’t happen. There’s no real way to know whether or not Joe Murray’s words on Facebook are real or are being said to throw people off the scent, but the truth of the matter is that people are likely going to be divided on the matter until it finally gets decided. Some folks would be for it obviously as they want to see a bit of the past they remember growing up

Nickelodeon went to San Diego Comic Con with Rocko, and we got our first look at the upcoming one hour special.
The one hour special marks the return of the show for the first time in over 20 years since it ended. The cool thing about the special is that it time lapses with the gap, meaning the characters have to adjust to "modern times" instead of being back in the 90's when the show aired.
The shows creators have noted that the one hour special will have a heavy message about technology and how much this world relies on it, especially compared to the generation of when the show originally aired. In order to make this work, the shows creators note that the characters have been literally drifiting in space for 20 years and have returned to a more advanced world.

Whether or not Mr Bill Murray eventually straps on the proton pack and 'Venkman' namebadge to reunite with Ray, Egon and Winston (and Dana, Louis, Janine and Slimer) again, now seems as good a time as any to scour the archives at the New York Public Library for ten nifty facts you may or may not have known about the grumpy face behind countless classic movies from Scrooged and Rushmore to Lost In Translation and The Darjeeling Limited. 1. Bill Murray was born William James Murray in Wilmette, Illinois, on September 21, 1950 to mail room clerk Lucille and lumber salesman Edward Joseph Murray II. 2. In 1970, Bill was nabbed at Chicago's O'Hare Airport with nine pounds of marijuana in his bag worth a whopping $$20,000.
