While talking with Collider’s Perri Nemiroff ahead of Rooster‘s debut on HBO Max, co-writers and frequent collaborators Bill Lawrence and Matt Tarses ​​​​​​break down the inspiration behind their new comedy series. And while, yes, Lawrence acknowledges “it’s a Steve Carell show,” the heart behind Rooster is a father-daughter relationship that the trio discovered when they bonded over their own relationships with their daughters. “This was a new stage of our lives for us,” Lawrence says, “so we thought that would be a cool thing to write about.”

Loosely based on their friend and author, Carl Hiaasen (author of Bad Monkey), Rooster is about best-selling writer, Greg Russo (Carell), who runs to his daughter’s rescue. Katie, played by Charly Clive, is going through a personal life crisis, and now her marriage and her job as a college professor are seemingly up in flames — like the house she set on fire. Enter good old, recently divorced Dad, whose status as a somewhat well-known writer could be the leverage he needs to save Katie from being fired.

In this interview, Lawrence and Tarses discuss their inspiration for Rooster, how Carell was a massive piece of their puzzle, but how it all finally came together with a strong ensemble. In the video above or the transcript below, find out which cast members became standouts on set, even changing the original character in the process, and how Lawrence and Tarses would orchestrate a multiverse crossover with Scrubs, Shrinking, and Bad Monkey.

Once Steve Carell Was on Board, ‘Rooster’ Hinged on This Character’s Story

“Yeah, it’s a Steve Carell show, but he really embraces the ensemble of it all.”

PERRI NEMIROFF: What was idea number one, the thing that started this all, but then also, did you have a break-story moment along the way, something you came up with that made you think, “This idea for Rooster really is whole and ready to go?”

MATT TARSES: We were working on Bad Monkey together, and then wanted to do something else. We had a decent enough time doing that that we wanted to try to do something else.

BILL LAWRENCE: And we haven’t been getting along today because he admitted that he has never watched the finale of Scrubs. That’s why he said “decent enough time.” He worked on Scrubs and never watched the finale. It’s no big deal. It’s not part of your story.

TARSES: There was nobody we wanted to work with more than Steve Carell. We sat down with him, and we found out that we had this shared thing, which is that we all had daughters about the same age, all who were moving off into the world, and much as we wanted to still be in their lives and control their lives, they were not as interested in that as they had been. This was a new stage of our lives for us, a parenting stage and an adulthood stage, and so we thought that would be a cool thing to write about.

LAWRENCE: There are two things that made me know, once Steve’s like, “I’m in,” that we had kind of figured out the pilot because the trick of the show is, yeah, it’s a Steve Carell show, but he really embraces the ensemble of it all, and so every character’s got a story.

The story that we had to crack to make work was the story of Charly Clive, of his daughter, becoming an autonomous, independent woman, which is kind of her series journey. To do that, you have to strip her of everything from the start. So, it took us a second, but when we came up with her burning a house down, and doing it by burning Phil Dunster’s favorite book, those are things we knew were good pieces of exposition, but they’re sometimes hard to make funny, and we were able to, hopefully, make it funny by accident because he liked War and Peace by Tolstoy, and Matt had a quote…

TARSES: From Chekhov.

LAWRENCE: From Chekhov. Matt’s booksmart. I’m not. I’m dumb. I thought Chekhov and Tolstoy were the same person.

TARSES: [Laughs] All Russians are the same people.

LAWRENCE: Well, they’re both Russian, and they’re both writers. There can only be one. And that created the scene where Steve had prepped his whole argument with his daughter’s husband based on the guy loving Chekhov and not Tolstoy, and we went with it. Watching Steve do that and make it funny, we knew we had hopefully figured out the tone of a show that could be funny and still authentically about emotional stories with some depth.

Inside the Casting of ‘Rooster’

Lawrence and Tarses discuss finding the perfect cast and dynamics for an all-star ensemble.

I’ll highlight how well-cast this show is a little more. Can you guys tell me which role was the easiest to cast, where it was like the right person just magically appeared, but then also the character in your show that took the most legwork to find the perfect fit for?

LAWRENCE: There are a billion easy ones, and I’ll rattle them off. The show started because of Steve. We just wanted to work with him, so getting him was a huge, monster home run. Getting John C. McGinley, we almost had to do it because we stole his life, because he has a weird sauna he built himself, and when you talk to the guy, he makes you get in it, and he’s way too comfortable with his body, and he makes you get in a cold plunge pool. It’s very, very weird. Rory Scovel, who plays the cop, has been in one of my shows before, and Matt and I both think he’s one of the funniest untapped comic voices out there. Phil Dunster, I had worked with him on Ted Lasso, and I’m still tricked by accents, so I thought he was really like Jamie Tartt, and he showed up talking in a different accent. I was like, “What’s going on?” He’s like, “Oh, that one was fake.” So that was very confusing. But those were all very easy. I didn’t take your hard one, did I?

TARSES: You didn’t take my hard one. We wrote this character of Cristle, Walt’s assistant, for an actor who would be sort of buttoned-up and kind of a little bit of an executive assistant trope.

LAWRENCE: Almost like Radar, who knew things before they happened, etc..

TARSES: And Allison Jones brought us Annie Mumolo, and we said, “No, that’s not who we’re thinking of.” We were really resistant to her.

LAWRENCE: That’s good that you let her know that publicly.

TARSES: Just because we had this idea of her in our head. I only say this because we gave her the part, and we changed the part a little because she was so different from it, and she became so much better and bigger than that part was ever meant to be, and one of my very favorite things in the show.

Image via Warner Bros. Discovery

LAWRENCE: People don’t give props enough. We make an art of taking credit for other people’s work.

TARSES: Especially him. [Laughs]

LAWRENCE: How dare you! Allison Jones is an icon in casting circles. I’ll tell you, she put Charly Clive in front of us to play Steve’s daughter, who you had to believe is Steve’s daughter, and had to be able to do pathos and comedy at the same level Steve does, and we had never seen her before. So, from main roles like that, and then she also is like, “Hey, here’s one of your best students. You’re going to cast this guy.” And it was Maximo [Salas], who plays Tommy. I can’t believe how authentic that kid is in this dynamic of Steve.

Our burden now, because of her, is trying to keep all these amazing people, Robby Hoffman, all of them, in this world if we’re lucky enough to do more.

The pair share their ideas for crossover with Shrinking, Scrubs, and more.

Because you’ve both worked on so many other wonderful shows with A+ ensembles, if you could see one character from Rooster cross paths with one character from Bad Monkey, Shrinking, or Ted Lasso, who would you choose, and how might that scene play out?

TARSES: That’s hard!

LAWRENCE: I got some. I would want to see Steve Carell and Harrison Ford together, just because of how iconic it would be and how much fun, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen them in a scene together, so I’ll separate that.

Then my other one is from Shrinking. I would like to see my wife, [Christa Miller], as Liz, try to do a scene with Phil Dunster and not be charmed by him. Because I think it would be a challenge for her, for me to say, “You have to dislike this person because at his core, he’s the antagonist.” And I don’t think she’d be able to help herself because he has that weird skill of an actor that can do reprehensible things and yet not have you completely hate him, though we’re really pushing the boundaries as the season goes on.

TARSES: I have one. We have this fantasy of the Rooster character that Greg’s character writes of someday making that into a movie where Steve actually plays Rooster, and we get our friend Carl Hiaasen to write it, and I could see a funny crossover of the Yancy character from Bad Monkey and the Rooster character meeting in Florida somewhere.

LAWRENCE: Also, by the way, the bad guy should be — we were lucky, in Bad Monkey, the bad guy this year was John Malkovich, and spoiler alert, the dude’s hysterical.

TARSES: Oh, god. Yeah, that would be incredible. So, there you go.

LAWRENCE: That’s my favorite question, by the way. I just want to do this all day. It feels like a drinking game.

Image via Apple TV+

I could sit here and do it all day. I always like to have an answer in my back pocket, just in case …

LAWRENCE: What’s yours?

Well, Greg and Yancy was immediately the one I had to write down, given the real-world nature of how these stories came to screen, and also what Greg as a character is going through in this show.

LAWRENCE: We should have said that, by the way, since you knew that it was based on Carl Hiaasen. I would also be into seeing Turk cross paths with Rory Scovel, just because of how frustrated he would be by him. That would make me really happy.

Rooster debuts on March 8 on HBO Max. Subsequent episodes premiere every Sunday.

Somebody tell the internet to brace themselves because GloRilla just reminded us exactly who’s owning the spotlight. The rapper hit Instagram on Thursday with a photo dump and video that had fans doing double takes—because yes, she is indeed THICK, and she’s serving looks like only Glo can.

Big Glo Pops Out Styled Head-To-Toe

In the post, GloRilla rocked black heels with chains, leopard print leggings, and a black blouse that showed off her upper chest, all topped with striking auburn hair. She accessorized with jewelry and carried a black and metallic Chanel bag, casually pulling a book out of Tyla’s bag while declaring, “put me in Chanel.” Fans were left saying, “get ’em GLO!,” as she mixed bold style with confidence, proving once again that she’s a vibe all her own.

The Comments Turned Into A Whole Party

Fans quickly ran to TSR’s Instagram comment section to hype Big Glo all the way up. Some were quick to point out that the rapper is getting THICKKK, while others joked that her post just motivated them to hit the gym ASAP. And of course, a few folks couldn’t help but clown a little, saying Glo better not come running back to them if things don’t work out with her NBA boo.

One Instagram user @cedriciconic commented, “Dayummm😍😍”

This Instagram user @_prettyskinny_ said, “Shaaaaaaaaaaat twin u fye asf 🥵”

And, Instagram user @blackisbeautyyy_ added, “let me get in the gym lol 😂”

Meanwhile, Instagram user @dreammma_ shared, “This what u call building yourself brick by brick 🤏🏽🥰”

Big Glo’s Natural Look Still Has Folks Talking

And if there’s one thing about GloRilla, she’s going to have folks talking. Back in January, Big Glo turned heads once again after dropping a mirror selfie video on X showing off her fresh, natural face. Keeping it simple, she captioned the clip, “No lash moment…,” but the internet still had plenty to say. The video quickly racked up millions of views, with social media users flooding the replies to weigh in on the rapper’s look.

But, it didn’t take long for Glo to notice the chatter online. She eventually hit back on X with a no-nonsense clapback aimed at anyone shading her looks. “So did any of you h*** get a raise for tryna figure out why a b**** look so beautiful yesterday???? Rent paid? Anything??? Or y’all really just #THAT mad dat a b**** gorgeous for free? Lemme kno ina comments,” she fired off, leaving the internet shook.

John Wayne is the definitive Western movie star, and probably still the actor who is most closely associated with the genre. That’s not to discount other actors from the Golden Age of Hollywood, such as Gregory Peck or Burt Lancaster, who also played many gunslingers, sheriffs, and cowboys; Clint Eastwood is also responsible for creating the modern “spaghetti Western” craze with his performance in “The Man With No Name” trilogy and the many Westerns he directed.

However, Wayne is synonymous with what a Western character feels like because of the groundbreaking work he did with director John Ford, with whom he formed one of the greatest actor-director partnerships in the history of cinema. Although he’s a more versatile actor than he is often given credit for, “The Duke” will forever be known as cinema’s greatest frontiersman. Here are the ten greatest John Wayne westerns, ranked.

10

‘Red River’ (1948)

Red River is one of the darkest Westerns that Wayne ever starred in because he was playing a more villainous character in a much bleaker story. As was the case with many of the films that he made with director Howard Hawks, Red River offered a more authentic depiction of the issues that arose during western expansion, and specifically the relationships between those who chose to live the lonely lives of cowboys.

Red River is a visual achievement first and foremost that features some of the most luscious cinematography of the ‘40s, but the film is best remembered for its famous ending, which saw Wayne going toe-to-toe with Montogmery Clift in a fiery confrontation. Although he is sometimes accused of always playing the same character in every movie, Wayne showed in the concluding moments of Red River that he had the ability to transform and subvert his persona.

9

‘True Grit’ (1969)

True Grit has what Wayne considered to be the single best performance of his career, and is also notably the film that finally earned him the Academy Award for Best Actor. Although he had previously been recognized with nominations for Best Actor for Sands of Iowa Jima and for Best Picture for The Alamo (which he both produced and directed), but True Grit finally gave the Oscars the opportunity to celebrate one of the most famous stars of all-time with a prize given to him by his peers.

True Girt was a perfect role for the end of Wayne’s career because Rooster Cogburn is an older, grizzled character who has come to regret some of the choices in his life. As emotional as the film’s ending was, True Grit also features a healthy amount of humor that showed Wayne’s comedic sensibilities.

8

‘The Shootist’ (1976)

Image via Paramount Pictures

The Shootist was the last film that Wayne ever made and remains one of his most underrated performances. Although it was the story of a grizzled, older gunslinger returning to his old line of work, The Shootist was much darker than True Grit; the film was directed by Don Siegel, a brilliant filmmaker who also helmed the first installment in the Dirty Harry franchise.

Wayne has great chemistry in The Shootist with a young Ron Howard, who plays a young man who is taken under the protagonist’s wing and taught to avoid the path of violence that had become so destructive for him. The film also featured a cameo from James Stewart as a doctor who attends to the wounds of Wayne’s character; it was a heartfelt way of paying tribute to the many films that the two men had starred in together, and because they developed a friendship in real life.

7

‘Stagecoach’ (1939)

Image via United Artists

Stagecoach is the film that started it all for Wayne because it was the first film he made with Ford and is considered to be the first “modern” Western. The now iconic scene in which Wayne emerges as “The Frisco Kid” for the first time set the template for how to characterize a movie hero, and has served as an inspiration for such adventure films as Raiders of the Lost Ark and Big Trouble in Little China.

Stagecoach was ahead of its time in exploring how the Wild West drew in characters of different social classes, and what that meant for America during a checkered period in the nation’s history. It’s also one of the few action films from the era that holds up just as well today, as Ford’s techniques for creating suspense have stood the test of time.

6

‘3 Godfathers’ (1948)

Image via MGM

3 Godfathers is one of Wayne’s most heartfelt and moving films, and it also doubles as a great Christmas classic. Loosely inspired by the story of the three wise men from the Bible, 3 Godfathers tells the story of three cowboys who become tasked with protecting the infant child of a woman who dies during childbirth.

3 Godfathers showed why Ford’s touch as a director was unparalleled, as he was able to tell a powerful story of faith, redemption, and harmony that didn’t feel saccharine. While it’s a film that is sentimental in a good way, 3 Godfathers still has the rip-roaring action that one would expect from one of Wayne’s pictures; while at the time it didn’t get the same awards traction as some of Ford’s other films, 3 Godfathers has aged well because of how well-rounded of an ensemble it has.

5

‘El Dorado’ (1966)

Image via Paramount Pictures

El Dorado is quite simply one of the coolest movies ever made because Howard Hawks was interested in making a “hangout” story that wasn’t as concerned with plot. Of all the co-stars that Wayne has had in his various films over the years, Robert Mitchum is perhaps the only one who could match him in terms of gravity and pure charisma. However, El Dorado also featured a breakthrough performance from a young James Caan six years before he would become renowned for his role as Sonny Corleone in The Godfather.

El Dorado was a decidedly old-fashioned Western that came out in an era in which revisionist and spaghetti films were beginning to take a hold of the genre, which made its traditionalist perspective feel like such a breath of fresh air in comparison. It also may, line for line, be the most quotable film Wayne has ever been in.

4

‘Hondo’ (1953)

Image via Warner Bros.

Hondo was a groundbreaking Western in many ways because of its eye-popping visuals and stylized approach to the genre, as it even earned a select release in 3-D. The film also marked one of the rare occasions in which Wayne had a female co-star who was just as awe-inspiring as he was; Geraldine Page gave such a memorable, feisty performance that she actually earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress, an honor that is not often bestowed upon Westerns.

Wayne has the capability to be a compelling romantic lead, but most of his best love stories have been in non-Westerns like The Quiet Man. With Hondo, he was able to merge the two aspects of his career with a unique film that proved there were still ways to innovate with a genre that was just beginning to show its age for the first time in its history.

3

‘Rio Bravo’ (1959)

Image via Warner Bros.

Rio Bravo is a bonafide classic that is well-respected among famous directors, as both John Carpenter and Quentin Tarantino count it among their favorite films of all-time. It’s another Western adventure that doubled as a “hangout film” because the most important aspect of Rio Bravo is the undeniable chemistry between Wayne, Dean Martin, and Ricky Nelson.

Rio Bravo was produced in response to High Noon, a film that Wayne and Hawks hated because it depicted the main character played by Gary Cooper as being sensitive and reticent to fulfill his responsibilities as a sheriff. High Noon is a masterpiece in its own right, but Rio Bravo’s depiction of three rugged, brave lawmen who survived against incredible odds was a fun alternative that became a great character study in its own right. Even before the terrific final shootout, Rio Bravo is a dialogue-driven story with the intimacy of a stage production.

2

‘The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance’ (1962)

Image via Paramount Pictures

The Man Who Shot Liberty Vallance was a powerful response to the end of the Western era that reflected on the decline of gunslingers in favor of more traditionalist justice. Wayne starred as a no-nonsense lawman who is tasked with the protection of an idealistic politician, played by Jimmy Stewart, who has been tasked with helping a small town grow to be part of the established Union.

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance examined why Western mythology had become engrained as part of American culture, and showed why these ideals are still clung on to by people who have abandoned the ways of the Wild West. The film’s shocking plot twist, and the iconic final line that accompanies it, were a thoughtful challenge to the history of Westerns that served as a great summation of the work that Wayne and Ford did together.

1

‘The Searchers’ (1956)

Image via Warner Bros.

The Searchers is one of the greatest films ever made and features what is likely Wayne’s best character in Major Ethan Edwards, a former member of the Confederate Army that begins a ruthless search for the Native American tribe that kidnapped his niece (Natalie Wood). Although it starts off as a rip-roaring adventure with very clear morals, The Searchers becomes a dark character study because Ethan is an obsessive, dangerous psychopath who has used the disappearance of someone he cares about as an excuse to fulfill his violent fantasies of xenophobic conquest.

The Searchers was a condemnation of racism and manifest destiny that utilized Wayne’s star power to make a searing statement about how the cycle of violence continues. While the film is admired for its gorgeous visuals (including one of the best closing shots of all-time), it was Wayne’s performance that solidified its place in cinematic history.

Britney Spears’ first husband Jason Alexander is coming to her defense in the wake of her DUI arrest.

Posting via his Instagram account on Thursday, March 5, Alexander who was married to Spears, 44, for 55 hours in January 2004, urged everyone to “slow down” when discussing the pop star’s most recent run-in with the law.

“If reports are accurate that she blew a .06, that’s below the legal limit in most states. And if the only substances in her system were legally prescribed medications, that changes the narrative completely,” Alexander, 44, wrote.

He continued, “At most, what’s being discussed right now could potentially amount to minor misdemeanor charges — things like reckless driving or simple possession if a substance was found in the car.”
