CBS' Hamilton Promo for the Tony Awards Is One of the Best 360° Videos Ever

Sure, we’ve all been seeing and hearing a lot from Hamilton, the hottest musical in years, but here’s a video that puts other clips to shame.

CBS’ Facebook promo for Sunday’s 70th Tony Awards uses 360-degree video to put you right on stage as the Hamilton cast rehearses a song. Technically it’s just part of a song—an a cappella snippet of “Wait for It”—but it’s  still downright incredible.

Most 360 videos rely on scenic backdrops or action, but this one tones things down and lets you just enjoy looking around at an unbelievably talented cast that most of us would be damn lucky to even see from the nose-bleed seats.

Check it out below, and be sure to drag the video around with your mouse or finger to make the most of it:

Bob Barker Returned to The Price Is Right in the Year's Most Charming April Fools' Surprise

Most of us were tired of April Fools’ hijinks before the day even arrived, but in addition to yesterday’s seemingly endless spree of high-profile pranks, there were a few real winners.

Chief among them, on TV at least, was Bob Barker’s return to The Price Is Right, which he retired from hosting in 2007 after more than 40 years. 

At 91, Barker’s obviously moving a bit slower these days, but he still has a singular warmth and ability to connect with both the crowd and his contestants. He hosted the show’s opening bid on Wednesday and a pricing game before handing the mic back to host Drew Carrey. 

Hat tip to Digg.



The Top 10 Things That Would Happen on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert

Today, Mashable reported that Comedy Central icon Stephen Colbert is a front-runner to replace David Letterman on CBS' Late Show. Only time will tell if there's truth to the speculation, but it's left us wondering about what would happen if such a transition came to pass. And, of course, we had to put it in the form of a Top 10 list.

10. Conan O'Brien would explode.

9. Bill Carter would get another book out of it.

8. John Michael Higgins would stand a chance of appearing on the show.

7. CBS's highest-profile employee would be a man who once told off a sitting president in front of the D.C. press corps.

6. Interns would continue to be featured prominently on the show.

5. Probably not as prominently, though.

4. #CancelColbert could declare victory.

3. The time for The Bee Buzz might arrive.

2. All of New York would agree to do Colbert spur-of-the-moment favors. Oh, wait, that already happens.

1. The show would maintain continuity in terms of the level of respect showed to Bill O'Reilly:

 




How I Met Your Mother Airs the Mother of All Promos for the Show’s Final Season

This hilarious promo for the final season of CBS's How I Met Your Mother takes the show's weird framing device to its logical and deeply unsavory conclusion. The premise of the show is that our narrator, Ted, years from now, is actually telling his kids the extremely long-winded story of how he met their mother. Thing is, the show's been on for eight years. So, if you think about it, Ted has spent all that time recounting an endless series of women he slept with while his kids were trapped on the living-room couch. In this bleep-laden promo, Ted's adorable children, now surly teenagers, point out that in the past eight years they've gone through puberty, survived by crapping in a bucket, drinking rainwater and eating spiders, and are starting to have disturbing feelings of sibling lust—and he still hasn't gotten to how he met Mom. As the series finally ends, all of us, but especially Ted's kids, are excited to hear the motherf**king ending. The final season premieres Sept. 23.

    

Filhos detonam Ted em teaser de How I Met Your Mother

Foram oito anos de histórias que pareciam intermináveis, com direito até a spoiler via Instagram. Mas parece que a história sobre como Ted Mosby conheceu a mãe de seus filhos finalmente será concluída na temporada final de How I Met Your Mother. A CBS resolveu brincar com toda essa demora no teaser da nona temporada lançado no Comic-Con, em que os filhos de Ted finalmente perdem as estribeiras e detonam o pai.

O filho reclama de ter passado pela puberdade sentado no sofá, enquanto a filha reclama de ter perdido os anos de faculdade. Oito anos sem ver a luz do sol, sem ter uma pausa para ir ao banheiro…

Dando uma olhada nos comentários do vídeo no YouTube, deu para perceber que nem todo mundo curtiu o tom do vídeo. Há, inclusive, aqueles que defendem que a série deveria ter acabado há várias temporadas. De qualquer maneira, a história de Ted finalmente tem data para terminar. Resta saber se o final vai agradar quem passou os últimos oito anos acompanhando a série.
