Subway Takes host Kareem Rahma is trading public transportation for a studio set in his latest YouTube talk show. The catch? It’s a branded program that Rahma is hosting for Toyota: Pit Stop Tonight. Rahma, of course, is no stranger to conducting hot-button interviews: Subway Takes has attracted the likes of Cate Blanchett, Woody Harrelson and Halsey. His latest original series Keep the Meter Running sees him hop into a cab, ask the cabbie to take him to their favorite place, and, yes, keep the meter running in the process. Pit Stop Tonight shares some connective tissue with those shows, but it is also its own thing (and, Rahma notes, it is the only talk show with a pit crew, who build the set each episode in mere seconds). Each episode features Rahma interviewing and playing games with Toyota drivers like Bubba Wallace, Christopher Bell, Jade Avedisian, and Chase Briscoe. “When they asked me to do it, I said, respectfully, ‘I know nothing about NASCAR,’ and they were like, that’s actually great, because we’re looking for someone who can be the conduit to people that aren’t necessarily interested in NASCAR,” Rahma says in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. “It

Late-night hosts covered Donald Trump’s unpopular presence in New York and his viral interview tantrum. Jimmy Kimmel On Jimmy Kimmel Live! the host spoke about game three of the NBA finals, which has caused excitement in New York due to the unusual involvement of the Knicks. Trump was “too busy with the war to go to his son’s wedding but had no problem carving out time to swallow nachos at the Knicks game tonight”. Kimmel said the president was able to attend such a late event as he was “able to squeeze in a nap in every one of his meetings” yet is “about as popular in New York as pineapple on pizza”. His attendance comes after he traveled to Wisconsin to speak to farmers who “are going through a lot right now” so he decided to brag about the size of his reflecting pool in DC, showing off images of the project. “Looks like grandpa figured out how to print off his iPad,” Kimmel said. He didn’t offer help on how to get farmers out of “the hole he put them in” but decided to once again share his “latest and maybe greatest routine”, which has him refer to

James Lowe of Leinster during last week's URC quarter-final in Dublin Alamy Stock Photo Internet Diaries Our FactCheck editor details the internet trends seen by a thirtysomething-year-old man. Stephen McDermott THE STORMERS WEREN’T the only ones looking to exploit Leinster’s injury crisis this week. On Tuesday, a Pakistani YouTube channel called Every Moment Updates reported that the Irish provincial rugby side were monitoring the fitness of seven players ahead of their URC semi-final. “This Leinster versus Stormers clash? It isn’t just a game of strategy any more,” an American voice in the video said over a simple animation of a crutch and rugby ball. “We are talking about an absolute battle of attrition between two heavyweights. Because, you know, when you hit the knockout stages of professional rugby, the physical demands just go entirely off the charts.” It may not have been immediately obvious to anyone who saw it, but when you see the script written out like that, it’s probably easier to recognise that the content was pure unadulterated AI slop. The video was recommended by YouTube’s algorithm to a colleague, who immediately clocked another giveaway: none of the players shown in the preview thumbnail were actually Leinster players

Share Entertainment Hollywood producers are rethinking their strategies around what films to green light, who to cast, and how to market, after two low budget films from YouTube creators outperformed big budget franchise films. CNBC's Julia Boorstin talks to Peter Chernin, former Fox studio chief, about how he expects YouTube creators’ presence to grow in Hollywood, as they become a new kind of established brand for studios. 03:06 4 hours ago Julia Boorstin Stephen Desaulniers

Published Sat, Jun 6 2026 9:00 AM EDT Hollywood is scrambling to recreate the success of "Backrooms," a low-budget psychological horror directed by YouTube creator Kane Parsons.

The industry is scrambling to figure out how to replicate the phenomenon of "Obsession" and "Backrooms," low-budget psychological horror films directed by YouTube creators that have dominated the box office over the past two weeks.  View the full site
