I know most people wouldn’t automatically think of me when they’re thinking who should be making the great hip-hop drama. But I didn’t respond to Empire as a “black show.” I responded to it as a great story that I was sucked right into, and in that sense I felt that it was very much my world and my genre.

[This story contains spoilers for “New Beginnings, Part 2,” the series finale of NCIS: Los Angeles.] The Office of Special Projects wrapped up one final case in Sunday’s series finale of NCIS: Los Angeles — but that was really not the core of the episode.

John Travolta has a spotty history when it comes to presenting at award shows. Remember when he famously butchered Idina Menzel’s name at the Oscars? He even made fun of himself at the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards, when he refused to read the name of the Video of the Year winner, asking Queen Latifah to do it for him.    When Latifah announced Taylor Swift’s “You Need to Calm Down” as the winner of Video of the ear, the pop superstar brought her entire posse of performers on stage, including many of the drag queens featured in the video, who joined her for her opening performance at the VMAs.
