The Immortal Kevin Fitzpatrick was born and raised in New York City, and that doesn't make sense. Kevin wears many hats, including actor, editor, and writer, but never yellow.

Netflix ‘Gilmore Girls’ in ‘Preliminary’ Talks For Another Revival
We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: however arduous each TV revival proves, fans will inevitably clamor for another continuation.

‘Game of Thrones’ Season 7’s Next Random Cameo Goes to Mets Pitcher
Buried among the avalanche of death and destruction rolling through each Game of Thrones season, we can usually find one or two yearly cameos from famous musicians, athletes, or other such fans of the show.

The late-night wars have seen a surprising shift in recent months, as Colbert’s Late Show begins to overtake Fallon’s Tonight Show ratings, but might we be in for another shake-up soon? Perhaps over at ABC, as Jimmy Kimmel is apparently considering leaving Jimmy Kimmel Live! in 2019.
Even ‘The Walking Dead’ Bosses Don’t Know How Old Carl Is Supposed to Be
It’s a classic conundrum for serialized shows with child actors; younger characters invariably grow older than the story would suggest.
