Andy Richter is reflecting on his weight struggles in the public eye after revealing that he’s dropped a few pounds because of Dancing With the Stars.

Richter, 59, was in conversation with Colin Hanks during the Tuesday, November 4, episode of SiriusXM’s “The Three Questions with Andy Richter” podcast. Hanks, 47, was on the show to discuss directing Prime Video’s John Candy: I Like Me documentary when the topic of weight came up.

Hanks detailed how the late Candy’s weight was always discussed in interviews when Richter lamented on the early days of his own career.

“The first thing that comes to mind is one of my standard lines about what it was like to start in 1993 on Late Night With Conan O’Brien — that being the first thing I had ever done,” Richter said. “I had acted, but nothing that had ever gotten any attention or that was out even. I had already done the movie Cabin Boy, but it wasn’t out yet.”

He added, “One of my standard lines is, ‘I didn’t know there were so many ways to call someone fat.’ Because it was just cherubic, rotund, all these different [words].”

Richter said the way he was described was “galling” to him.

“They don’t say anything about my good, strong teeth. But they have to mention that,” he continued, noting that there’s a “comedy” aspect as well. Richter even admitted to joking about his own weight struggles.

“I would always say it’s skinny and fatty,” Richter recalled. “That’s a comedy trope. It was always kind of that thing.”

Richter has been candid about discussing his recent transformation since making his DWTS debut in September alongside professional dance partner Emma Slater.

The comedian said on the “Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend” podcast last month that he initially didn’t want to be on DWTS but decided to use the show as a way to “get moving” in his daily life.

“It got me to go to the gym and do cardio, which I loathe. I started to do a lot more stretching just to kind of prepare myself,” he said. “I was terrified that I was going to get injured or that I just wouldn’t be able to do it. And then would have to pull out and be embarrassed.”

Andy Richter Nearly Didn’t Do ‘DWTS’: ‘Turn It Down and Don’t Tell Anyone’

Slater, 36, mentioned that Richter has lost weight during last week’s prerecorded package ahead of their performance.

“I was thinking I won’t be able to cut it,” Richter said in one rehearsal package. “Now I have to admit all this physical activity has made me feel better about myself.”

He added, “I definitely felt like, ‘Well, I’m older now, I can’t do as much as I used to.’ And now, I’m like, ‘Yes you can, you lazy bum.’ I just feel like a better person now. I feel more alive.”

Richter’s continued success in the competition has received mixed reactions from viewers. Some DWTS fans want him to win, while others hope the comedian gets eliminated.

“It is an entertainment show, and it is for people that have not done this before, and so it’s beautiful to watch them get a moment in the spotlight and to grow and to see improvement,” Slater told Us Weekly exclusively last month. “He, every bit, deserves his place here.”

Prince William and Princess Kate Middleton’s college classmate Ben Duncan died at age 45, multiple British outlets have reported.

Duncan, who appeared on the U.K’s Big Brother in 2010, fell about 100 feet off a rooftop bar (on the seventh floor) at London’s Trafalgar St. James Hotel. The incident took place on Thursday, October 30.

London’s Metropolitan Police confirmed that “officers responded to concerns for a man on the roof of a building in Cockspur Street, Westminster,” in a statement to the Daily Mail, who was first to report the news. The reported incident took place just after 11 p.m. local time.

“The man sadly fell from height. Despite the best efforts from the London Ambulance service, he was sadly pronounced dead at the scene,” the statement added. “His death is unexpected but non-suspicious.”

A London ambulance service also discussed Duncan’s death in a separate statement to the Daily Mail. (The publication also reported that there were high plastic screens around the edge of the rooftop bar.)

“’We sent resources to the scene, including an ambulance crew, an incident response officer, paramedics in fast response cars and paramedics from our hazardous area response team,” they shared. “We also dispatched a trauma team in a car from London’s Air Ambulance. Very sadly, despite the best efforts of our crews, a man was pronounced dead at the scene.”

Before his reality TV career, Duncan attended St Andrews university at the same time as William and Kate, both 43. It’s been reported that he was part of their friend group while at school and was around when the royal family members first started dating. Us understands that William and Duncan were not friends as reported.

Duncan previously poke knowing William and Kate during a 2010 interview.

“Because we’d had Will and Kate in our midst we had royal protection officers swarming the place,” he recalled at the time. “We knew that they had hit it off and we knew that something was happening, but they were just left alone to get on with it.”

Duncan also recalled the now-famous fashion show where Kate’s runway walk first caught William’s eye.

“’It was the end of their first year. I was there, and in person there were a lot of attractive girls,” he recalled. “She was in a very daring dress, in a sheer stocking-like dress. He was sitting front row and his eyes were like stalks.”

Duncan added, “She brushed by him on the way to the catwalk and things were never the same again — the whole history of the monarchy had been altered.”

Us Weekly has reached out to William’s team for comment.

Aside from his time on the U.K.’s Big Brother, Duncan also appeared on Come Dine With Me, Ladette to Lady and Celebrity Coach Trip. Duncan discussed his reality TV fame during an interview with Digital Spy in 2010.

“Someone asked me a couple of weeks ago if my life had changed. And the thing is that I’ve never done a 9 to 5 job, so in many ways it hasn’t at all,” he added. “Of course people now ask me for pictures and attention in the street, but I was always the sort of person who spoke to people in the street anyway. I’ve always liked parties and been on the London party scene, so that hasn’t changed. I pick and choose my events more carefully now, that’s one thing that has changed.”

Former President George W. Bush‘s daughter Jenna Bush Hager is offering her support to Dick Cheney‘s daughters, Mary and Liz, after his death at age 84.

News broke on Tuesday, November 4, that Cheney died from complications of pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease. Bush Hager, 43, spoke out about Cheney’s passing after he served in office alongside her father, 79.

“Of course, I think everybody is waking up and thinking about his family,” Bush Hager said on the Today show. “When you hear of a politician who passes, there’s tons of coverage about what they are like as a politician, but as a daughter of a politician, as a granddaughter of a politician, I just am thinking of his daughters and who they are missing, which is not necessarily a man who casts votes, but rather a man who raised them.”

Bush Hager issued a message specifically to Cheney’s children.

“So, I am thinking of Mary and Liz this morning, who I’m going to reach out to as well just to send my love, and I know my parents are thinking the very same,” she continued. “I think public grieving can be very difficult because there’s a lot about who the person is as a public figure, but very little about who they are as a dad, as a granddad, as a husband, and so I’m thinking of his family.”

Bush Hager noted that her husband, Henry Hager, is also close to Mary, saying, “Mary was very close, is close, with Henry, so Henry’s out of town, but I texted him this morning and I’m sure he’s going to reach out to her as soon as he wakes up.”

Cheney’s family released a statement after his Monday, November 3, death.

“His beloved wife of 61 years, Lynne, his daughters, Liz and Mary, and other family members were with him as he passed,” read the statement. “For decades, Dick Cheney served our nation, including as White House Chief of Staff, Wyoming’s Congressman, Secretary of Defense and Vice President of the United States.”

His family continued: “Dick Cheney was a great and good man who taught his children and grandchildren to love our country, and to live lives of courage, honor, love, kindness and fly-fishing. We are grateful beyond measure for all Dick Cheney did for our country. And we are blessed beyond measure to have loved and been loved by this noble giant of a man.”

Donna Jean Godchaux Dead: The Grateful Dead Singer Was 78

Cheney had a history of cardiovascular issues, which resulted in multiple heart attacks. He suffered the first in 1978 at age 37 and then had four more through the years before undergoing a heart transplant in 2012 at age 74.

“Although the former vice president and his family do not know the identity of the donor, they will be forever grateful for this lifesaving gift,” Cheney’s office said in a 2012 statement.

Cheney later opened up about the procedure, sharing on a 2013 episode of 60 Minutes, “When you emerge from that gift of life itself, there’s a tremendous feeling of emotion, but it’s very positive. I think my first words when I came out from under the anesthetic and they said it had worked great was, ‘Hot damn.’ Literally.”

He concluded: “You wake up every morning with a smile on your face because you’ve got a new day you never expected to have. And there’s a sense of wonderment. Nothing short of magical.”

…Arsenal 3-0 Slavia Prague

Arsenal continued their impressive run in both domestic and European competitions after thrashing Slavia Prague 3–0 in the UEFA Champions League group stage match played on Tuesday night .

The win further cements their reputation as one of the most in form teams in Europe this season.

The Gunners looked sharp and determined from the first whistle, with Bukayo Saka once again proving to be the difference maker. The England international opened the scoring in the 32nd minute from the penalty spot after Gabriel Martinelli was brought down inside the box. His calm finish sent the Slavia goalkeeper the wrong way, setting the tone for a dominant display.

After the break, Arsenal’s intensity rose even higher. Spanish midfielder Mikel Merino doubled the lead in the 46th minute with a precise left-footed strike from the edge of the box that flew past the helpless goalkeeper. The goal lifted the Emirates faithful who had traveled in numbers to support their team.

Merino struck again in the 68th minute, finishing off a well-worked team move involving Saka and Martin Ødegaard. The goal showcased Arsenal’s fluid attacking play and tactical discipline under manager Mikel Arteta, who has turned the North London club into a force to be reckoned with.

Arteta praised his players after the match, highlighting their teamwork and consistency. “We are showing the mentality of champions,” he said.

“Every player understands their role, and the connection with our supporters keeps driving us forward,”he added.

Arsenal now sits comfortably at the top of their group, ahead of European heavyweights like Inter Milan and Borussia Dortmund. Their qualification to the knockout stage looks almost certain if they maintain their current form.

Supporters have been quick to celebrate the team’s success with some fans humorously suggesting they might need “tayi ti sekilite” (seat belts) to keep up with the team’s speed and thrilling performances.

Many fans believe this could be Arsenal’s best chance in years to challenge for the Champions League trophy.

Football pundits across Europe have also lauded the Gunners for their tactical maturity and attacking flair.

Former Arsenal legend Thierry Henry described the team as “balanced, hungry and fearless,” emphasizing how Arteta’s system has finally clicked.

We are gathered here today to celebrate the lives of shows that did not make it past 2025.

As it unfortunately happens every year, many series do not get to lead the rich and fulfilling life that may have once been promised to them.

Watch With Us hates to see a good show end too soon, so we’ve curated and ranked a list of five of the best series that ended this year but deserved to keep going.

Make sure to watch them now to honor their memories.

Starz’s ‘BMF’ Canceled Despite Multiple Spinoffs in Development

5. ‘The Franchise’ (2024)

From Armando Iannucci and Jim Brown — two of the creatives behind Veep — this satirical comedy series lampoons “cinematic universes”  by providing a behind-the-scenes look at the filming of a superhero film. Titled “Tecto: Eye of the Storm,” the fictional film is a lower-tier and less loved installment of its overarching superhero franchise, and we follow characters such as a new producer (Aya Cash)  studio executive (Darren Goldstein), first assistant director (Himesh Patel), director (Daniel Brühle) and lead actor (Billy Magnussen) all involved in the chaotic production.

Loaded with funny lines and incisive banter, The Franchise is very much a show from the guy who gave us Veep. It’s another scathing industry take-down that skewers the ineptitude of the powers that be and featuring hapless characters and caricatures blundering around and just barely doing their jobs. Despite low viewership hurting this show, if you’re a fan of biting insults and sharp parody, The Franchise is for you.

Stream The Franchise now on HBO Max.

4. ‘And Just Like That’ (2021-2025)

In the two decades since Sex and the City Ended, we rejoin with our favorite New York City women as they’ve transitioned to 30-somethings to 50-somethings, still navigating the perils of love and friendship in the city while also dealing with death, marriages, children and new beginnings. Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) pursues a new relationship, Charlotte (Kristin Davis) juggles her eclectic family and Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) deals with a shocking loss (and Kim Cattrall’s absence).

While And Just Like That received extremely mixed reviews from viewers and critics throughout its three-season run, fans of the original series still tuned in for a guilty pleasure watch. While the show struggled to be current in a way that felt both insightful and fresh, its stumbles provided more humor and intrigue than the creators perhaps anticipated, and fans still loved getting to hang out with their flawed TV girlfriends.

Stream And Just Like That now on HBO Max.

3. ‘Resident Alien’ (2021-2025)

An alien sent to wipe out all life on planet Earth (Alan Tudyk) crash lands in a small Colorado town and takes on the identity of the town’s doctor, Harry Vanderspeigle. While still intent on completing his task, his mission becomes compromised when he discovers that a local boy can see his true form. Forced to assimilate with the townspeople, the new Harry finds himself becoming increasingly compassionate towards the humans he interacts with, which further complicates his deadly protocol.

An official reason for the cancellation hasn’t been confirmed, but the series was on life support when it moved to the USA Network after season 3. Regardless of why Resident Alien is leaving us, it more than succeeds as a funny blend of sci-fi and comedy with a winning performance from Tudyk.

Stream Resident Alien now on Peacock.

2. ‘The Sex Lives of College Girls’ (2021-2025)

At the fictional Essex College in Vermont, four 18-year-old freshmen acclimate to their new school and all the joy and drama that comes with it — in particular, their intimate ordeals. We follow Kimberly (Pauline Chalamet), Leighton (Reneé Rapp), Bela (Amrit Kaur), and Whitney (Alyah Chanelle Scott) as they navigate sexual relationships, friendships and the struggles of burgeoning adulthood.

The Sex Lives of College Girls tackles resonant themes about personal identity, sexuality and sexual assault with a gentle and tactful hand. The popular series didn’t get the ratings that HBO wanted, and while it was shopped around for a new home, it was ultimately unable to find one. It’s a shame, because the series is an incredibly warm, funny and truthful take on coming-of-age in a college environment.

Stream The Sex Lives of College Girls now on HBO Max.

1. ‘The Righteous Gemstones’ (2019-2025)

The Righteous Gemstones creator and star, Danny McBride, once quipped that he could keep making seasons of his popular televangelist satire for a long time, so it shocked fans when it was announced that season 4 would be the series’ last. While purported to be a voluntary and natural conclusion to the four-season series, some fans can’t help but think it got cut too soon.

Netflix Cancels Several Shows After Only 1 Season

Regardless, The Righteous Gemstones is a hilarious, well-written and superbly acted lampoon of megachurches and celebrity preachers that will be an instant hit for anyone who’s a fan of McBride’s previous HBO series, Eastbound and Down and Vice Principals. In addition to being sharply critical of millionaire, profiteering “servants of God,” The Righteous Gemstones is also a genuinely affecting character drama, whose awful protagonists you can’t help but love

The first week of November boasts some fantastic new streaming content on platforms.

Watch With Us is probably the most excited for Frankenstein, Guillermo del Toro’s highly anticipated adaptation of Mary Shelley’s classic novel, with an all-star cast including Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi and Mia Goth, on Netflix.

But that’s not all. The series premieres of King and Conqueror on Amazon Prime Video, Pluribus on Apple TV and All Her Fault on Peacock are also worth checking out.

We’ve got the rundown for the five best new shows and movies that you can stream this week.

New on Netflix in November 2025 — The Full List of Movies and TV Shows

‘Frankenstein’ (2025)

Genius but self-destructive Victor Frankenstein (Isaac) creates a monstrous being that has devastating consequences for both creator and creation. Attempting to adhere more closely to Shelley’s book, the film charts the life of Frankenstein from his adolescence through being fired as a surgeon for reanimating a corpse, ultimately leading to his successful attempt at bringing life back from death.

In festival reviews and reactions during the film’s brief theatrical run, critics and fans overwhelmingly praised the film for its visuals, emotional core, performances and faithfulness to the source material. It’s also been compared favorably to films like Interview with the Vampire and Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

Watch Frankenstein on November 7 on Netflix.

‘All Her Fault’ Season 1

Based on the novel by Andrea Mara, All Her Fault follows Marissa Irvine (Sarah Snook), who arrives to pick her young son up from a playdate, only to find that her son isn’t there — and the mom who answers the door doesn’t know either Marissa or her son. As Marissa and her husband Peter (Jake Lacey) search for their son, their family begins to fall apart, uncovering life-altering secrets.

This new mystery-thriller series has a killer premise and a great cast. In addition to Succession’s Snook and The White Lotus’ Lacey, All Her Fault features Dakota Fanning, Michael Peña, Sophia Lillis and Abby Elliott. It’ll be Snook’s first major television role since Succession wrapped back in 2023, and we couldn’t be more excited based on the thrilling trailer.

Watch All Her Fault on November 6 on Peacock.

‘The Alto Knights’ (2025)

Featuring the great Robert De Niro in a dual role, The Alto Knights takes place in New York during the 1950s and centers on notorious crime bosses Frank Costello (De Niro) and Vito Genovese (also De Niro). The two powerful men battle for control over their city despite having once been close friends, now bitter enemies following numerous betrayals.

Written by Goodfellas co-scribe Nicholas Pileggi, The Alto Knights is directed by Barry Levinson (Rain Man) and costars Debra Messing, Cosmo Jarvis and Kathrine Narducci. While the film received mostly negative reviews from critics, it was more well-received by fans. Plus, it’s hard to pass up on the gimmicky appeal of double De Niro.

Watch The Alto Knights on November 6 on Amazon Prime Video.

‘King and Conqueror’ Season 1

This eight-part historical epic period drama depicts a dramatized version of the events leading up to the Norman Conquest of England. Game of Thrones’ Nikolaj Coster-Waldau plays William, the Duke of Normandy, and House of Guinness’ James Norton takes on the role of Harold Godwinson of Wessex, who together meet allies at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 and eventually fall into conflict for control of the monarchy.

King and Conqueror has been praised for its performances and ambition, although many have taken issue with the creative liberties it has taken in depicting this part of history. Nevertheless, the entertainment value is high if you don’t need to treat your TV shows like high school history essays.

Watch King and Conqueror now on Amazon Prime Video.

‘Pluribus’ Season 1

From Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul creator Vince Gilligan comes this new sci-fi drama series that reunites him with his Saul star Rhea Seehorn. Carol Sturka (Seehorn) becomes literally the most miserable person on the planet when a strange illness causes everyone to be relentlessly calm and happy all the time. Seemingly the only person immune to the virus, Sturka may unlock the key to its cure.

5 Movies and TV Shows You Need to Watch in November 2025

Pluribus co-stars Karolina Wydra (True Blood) and Carlos Manuel Vesga. The series isn’t just hotly anticipated for fans of Gilligan’s work; Gilligan had been developing the idea for ten years — after Breaking Bad had ended, and around when the spinoff, Better Call Saul, started up. And after working with Seehorn on Saul, Gilligan realized he’d found his next protagonist.

Watch Pluribus on November 7 on Apple TV.
