This Week In Television: Gotham News, Barack Obama on Jimmy Kimmel, and More
From declarations of love to a very special guest on Jimmy Kimmel, we’ve got highlights from this week in television. Check them out below!
Mild spoilers ahead.
Jada Pinkett Smith to Leave Gotham
Say goodbye to Fish Mooney, Gotham fans. On the morning show “Live With Kelly and Michael,” Jada Pinkett Smith broke the news that she would be leaving after they wrap Season 1, and she’s got no plans to return. Her official statement is short and sweet: “I signed for a year, and the year is up.”
Streaming Seinfeld? We Can Only Hope!
Though no official decisions have been made just yet, it looks like we might get the chance to stream the hit comedy. The show is currently evaluating bids for streaming services.
President Barack Obama Visits Jimmy Kimmel
And it’s amazing. He talks about his daily life at The White House and even reads “mean tweets.” See for yourself:
Chris Soules Joins the Cast of Dancing With the Stars
You probably heard the rumors long before it was officially announced, but as soon as The Bachelor ended, we learned he really would be joining the cast. Dancing With the Stars premieres this Monday at 8/7c on ABC.
Revenge: Jack Makes a Declaration
Jack made one of the most romantic declarations of love we’ve seen on screen in a while, but Emily turned him down. We hope she’s sure about that decision, because Jack told her he wouldn’t be waiting around.
The 100 Offers a Truly Shocking Season Finale
For starters, lots of people died. Clarke crossed a line (if you can believe she had more to cross), the war ends, and Jaha makes a surprising discovery. We’re sparing the spoilers here in case you haven’t watched yet, but you can read more about it with our review.
