  3. Q&A: Seth Meyers

    The spotlight on Seth Meyers has been shining so bright these days that he probably feels like reaching for his sunglasses. This spring, he's been all over the news not only for landing the gig as Jimmy Fallon's 2014 replacement on NBC's "Late Night," but also for speculation as to who will replace him as "Saturday Night Live" head writer and "Weekend Update" anchor. And of course, for marrying "Weekend Update" correspondent character Stefon during the show's season finale. So what's next?

  4. Why the Red Wings have already lost

    So the Blackhawks forced Game 7 against the hated Red Wings, and in the process completely demoralized Detroit. I'm not sure if you saw Game 6 on Monday, but if so you might have noticed Detroit fans in Joe Louis Arena streaming for the exits. With more than a minute to play. In a hockey game.

  5. How to be a Chicago sports fan in L.A.

    After working on his comedic chops at both ImprovOlympic and Second City, Chicagoan Joe Nunez moved to L.A. in 2001 to pursue an acting career. You might know him as Manche Sanchez in “Prison Break,” the guy who hit Will Smith with his car in “The Pursuit of Happyness,” the unhappy liquor store employee in “Superbad” or as Lupe’s brother who takes Buster with him to work in “Arrested Development.”

  7. 'Epic Rap Battles of History' creators met in Chicago

    As two of YouTube's most successful rappers--their "Epic Rap Battles of History" channel has more than 1.2 billion total video views and almost 5.4 million subscribers--Nice Peter and EpicLLOYD (Peter Shukoff and Lloyd Ahlquist to the historical record) met while freestyle rapping.
