Vikings visit Bears for Week 1 showdown
The NFL closes out its 2025-26 opening weekend by pitting two NFC North rivals against each other. The Minnesota Vikings head to Soldier Field in Chicago to face the Chicago Bears Monday, Sept. 8, on ABC and ESPN, in a prime time Monday night showdown.
For Minnesota, this game marks the long-awaited debut of J.J. McCarthy, the Vikings’ 2024 first-round draft pick who enters his de facto rookie season after suffering a knee injury that cost the 10th overall pick his entire first season. He has shown flashes of his potential, however, having thrown for 188 yards and two touchdowns in his only NFL game played to date.
Now healthy, McCarthy steps into a Kevin O’Connell-led offensive scheme that features a quarterback-friendly system revolving around quick throws and play action — not to mention being surrounded by a stellar cast of receiving targets that features Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison and T.J. Hockenson.
On the other sideline, Chicago is banking on growth from sophomore quarterback and last year’s first overall pick, Caleb Williams, who
threw for 3,541 yards, a 62.5% completion rate and 20 touchdowns for an impressive rookie campaign. For a franchise that has long searched for stability at the quarterback position, the Bears have positioned Williams for continued success this season, acquiring head coach Ben Johnson with the hopes his offensive creativity continues to further tap into Williams’ potential. Minnesota’s ability to protect McCarthy against Chicago’s defensive pressure will be key during this NFC North divisional matchup, while the Bears and Williams will need to prove to themselves they can finish drives consistently down the stretch.

More than ‘Murders in the Building’: Leoni joins expanding mystery series
After four complete seasons of Manhattan-based murder and mayhem, one has to wonder if perhaps the residents of the Arconia should just move. Nevertheless, Charles (Steve Martin, “Cheaper by the Dozen,” 2003), Oliver (Martin Short, “SCTV”) and Mabel (Selena Gomez, “Emilia Perez,” 2024) have stuck it out this far, and when their doorman turns up dead, the crime-loving trio knows better than to accept it as an accident.
Thus begins Season 5 of Hulu’s “Only Murders in the Building,” premiering Tuesday, Sept. 9, on Disney+ and Hulu.
When “Only Murders” first appeared on the streamer in late summer 2021, it immediately garnered a 100% rating on the RottenTomatoes.com Tomatometer, a metric used to quantify critics’ opinions regarding various specific films and TV series. Forty episodes and seven Primetime Emmys later, “Only Murders” still holds an average Tomatometer reading of 97% across all four seasons.
Hoping for another hit season as it crosses the 50-episode threshold, Season 5 of “Only Murders” continues its longstanding tradition of packing bigname talent into the cast. This year’s big addition — teased, as most new cast members are, during the previous season’s finale — is “Madam Secretary” and “Spanglish” (2004) star Téa Leoni.
“I think she’s the great tease at the end of the finale and a little bit of an intriguing bump forward,” co-creator John Hoffman (“race and Frankie”) told Deadline of Leoni’s role in the Season 4 finale.
“She’s an extension of the little news report in Episode 9 that Mabel makes
PUZZLE
note of at the hospital,” Hoffman elaborated, adding that Leoni’s character, Sofia Caccimelio, “is the wife of the Dry Cleaning King of Brooklyn, and maybe a couple of dry cleaning outlets in Manhattan, as well.”
And while dry cleaners are not typically considered to be dangerous, the Caccimelios do have ties to organized crime within the Big Apple and are particularly intertwined with the Caputo crime family mentioned at least once throughout the series to date. As for whether the Caputo family has any further connection to previous murders in the series, that remains to be seen, but we wouldn’t rule anything out just yet.
As is always the case for “Only Murders in the Building,” however, Hoffman reiterates that much of the risk is simply “involved in helping” to solve the crimes, but he made sure to add that “there are some moves that might come in Season 5 that change the whole equation.”
A major component of that equation this season is the death of beloved Arconia doorman Lester, played over the course of 20 episodes by Teddy Coluca (“The Blacklist”). To add insult to injury (or death, as the case would have it), the fountain where Lester’s body was dumped was the very same one he had decreed as lucky during his own Arconia terrace wedding decades before the building’s growing reputation for murder.
As described by Hulu Press, Charles, Oliver and Mabel’s newest case “plunges them into the shadowy corners of New York and beyond — where the trio uncovers a dangerous web of secrets con-
necting powerful billionaires, old-school mobsters and the mysterious residents of the Arconia.”
The more they dig, the more the friends and podcasters discover that
celebrity q&a
New York is evolving into a metropolis with an entirely new identity; “one where the old mob fights to hold on as newer, even more dangerous players emerge.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger
Q: I’m disappointed that the Arnold Schwarzenegger series “FUBAR” has ended. Why?
A: As with so many programs, it was a case of declining numbers. The Netflix show’s viewership decreased substantially for its second — and ultimately last — season, with some of its momentum likely lost because it took two years to get its sophomore round ready to stream. It wasn’t the only series Netflix has canceled this year, since “The Recruit,” “Pulse” and “The Residence” also were handed pink slips.
Not only did “FUBAR” have Schwarzenegger’s star power, it also featured Monica Barbaro, who had popularity from the 2022 movie blockbuster “Top Gun: Maverick” and earned an Oscar nomination for playing legendary singer-songwriter Joan Baez in last year’s Bob Dylan biography “A Complete Unknown.”
Schwarzenegger and Barbaro played a father and daughter who each kept a big secret from each other — the same one, since they both were covert CIA agents. Of course, they ended up working together, with their personal connection inevitably interfering with their professional obligations. Familial humor was woven into the action by creator and executive producer Nick Santora (“Scorpion”) and his creative team.
Though “FUBAR” is done for them, Schwarzenegger and Barbaro should both continue to remain quite gainfully employed. Schwarzenegger actually will return to the streaming world this holiday season by playing Santa Claus in the Prime Video movie “The Man With the Bag,” while Barbaro has finished filming “Crime 101,” a drama about a detective on the trail of a jewel thief. Her fellow stars in that film include Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Halle Berry, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Nick Nolte. Barbaro also is set to star in a romance titled “One Night Only.”

Memorable music makers: Gaga dethrones Swift with most nominations for 2025 MTV Video Music Awards
Introducing two brand-new categories — Best Country and Best Pop Artist — the MTV Video Music Awards will be broadcast live from New York’s UBS Arena Sunday, Sept. 7, on CBS, with simulcasts airing on both Paramount+ and MTV.
Hosted by legendary singer-slash-actor LL COOL J (“NCIS: Los Angeles”), the ceremony marks the Video Music Awards 41st year on air, continuing the tradition of celebrating the year’s most impressive artists and music videos through onstage performances, specialized honors and more, including fan-led voting in categories such as Video of the Year, Artist of the Year, Song of the Year, Best New Artist, Best Collaboration, Best Album, Best Long Form Video and, last but not least, Video for Good, an award recognizing music videos that address current social and political issues.
This year, the event’s most anticipated category, Artist of the Year, features an impressive list of nominees, comprising Bad Bunny (“Monaco”), Beyoncé (“Texas Hold ‘Em”), Kendrick Lamar (“Not Like Us”), Lady Gaga (“Abracadabra”), Taylor Swift (“I Can Do It With a Broken Heart”), Morgan Wallen (“I’m the Problem”) and The Weeknd (“Cry For Me”).
While some of the night’s live performances have been announced — including Alex Warren (“Carry You Home”), Busta Rhymes (“I Know What You Want”), J Balvin and DJ Snake (“Loco contigo”), Ricky Martin (“Livin’ la vida loca”), Sabrina Carpenter (“Manchild”) and Sombr (“back to friends”) — the aforementioned Taylor Swift nomination has left many “Swifties”
wondering if the Eras Tour superstar will make a surprise appearance of her own, with less than a month before the release of her 12th album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” coming Friday, Oct. 3.
Despite her ongoing popularity, Swift’s two-year track record of leading the Video Music Awards with the most nominations has been broken, as Lady Gaga stuns with 12 nominations, followed closely by Gaga collaborator Bruno Mars (“Die with a Smile”) with 11 and Kendrick Lamar (“Not Like Us”), who maintains an impressive 10 nominations across categories.
Meanwhile, two hitmakers from the late ‘90s and early 2000s — Busta Rhymes and Ricky Martin, who are both performing during the ceremony — are set to receive awards of their own, earning the Rock the Bells Visionary Award and the Latin Icon Award, respectively.
Packed with pop stars, punk rockers and all-star performers, the 2025 MTV Music Video Awards air live on CBS, Paramount+ and MTV, Tuesday, Sept. 7.
