Radcliffe Urges: Let New "Potter" Cast Thrive!

Late-night talk shows are facing potential censorship, and the FCC's concerns about the equal-time rule have led to CBS preventing Stephen Colbert from interviewing Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, according to multiple sources. This development comes amidst a flurry of news, including Daniel Radcliffe's comments on the upcoming HBO "Harry Potter" series, the announcement of Brian Tyree Henry's new animated series, and the ongoing use of Bitcoin in a missing person case.

According to Ars Technica, the FCC's concerns stem from Chairman Brendan Carr's warning that entertainment talk shows might lose their exemption from the equal-time rule. This rule could potentially require talk shows to provide equal airtime to opposing candidates. Colbert's interview was reportedly blocked due to these concerns.

In other entertainment news, Daniel Radcliffe recently spoke to ScreenRant, where he addressed the upcoming HBO "Harry Potter" series. According to Variety, Radcliffe urged the press not to constantly ask the new cast about the original movie actors, stating, "Just let them get on… It’s going to be different."

Brian Tyree Henry is also making headlines. Variety reported that Henry is set to star in and executive produce the adult animated series "Bass x Machina," which will debut on Netflix on October 6. The voice cast includes Janelle Monáe, Tati Gabrielle, and Cree Summer.

Meanwhile, other developments are also unfolding. As reported by Variety, the Social Security trust fund nears depletion, and Fifth Season appointed Peter Traugott as President of Television. Bitcoin is central to the search for a missing person, with a GoFundMe campaign and ransom demands involving the cryptocurrency. Additionally, Variety reported that Kunal Nayyar, a "Big Bang Theory" star, used GoFundMe to pay random families' medical bills.
