'Big Bang Theory' Behind-the-Scenes Details You Never Knew, Including the Actor Who Hooked Up in Their Dressing Room & the A-List Star Who Turned Down a Role

It’s been a long time coming, as the musical is one of the most beloved in recent decades, but “Wicked” is finally hitting the big screen this fall. Split into two parts, the first part of “Wicked” is set to showcase the relationship between Elphaba and Glinda, as they grow into the “Wizard of Oz” characters that we know and love.

In 2001, as Scanlon prepared to retire from NBC, the New York Times published a rare profile that described him as “NBC’s Negotiator and Fixer.” Here, veteran media consultant and corporate recruiter Stuart Sucherman pays tribute to his longtime friend and colleague. Scanlon died March 17 in Naples, Florida, one day before his 90th birthday. The role that Ed played at NBC for 30 years is hard to define.

Todd Gilchrist editor In “Obi-Wan Kenobi,” Lucasfilm resurrected more with its 2022 series for Disney+ than just the eponymous Jedi Master, who’d gone into hiding after the events of “Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith.” The show also rekindled his greatest conflict — perhaps his greatest failure — with former apprentice Anakin Skywalker, transformed by the dark side of the Force into Sith Lord Darth Vader.
