Like parents, like kids. Will Arnett opened up about how his sons, Archie, 13, and Abel, 12, have picked up a lot from their parents — starting with their humor.

Will Arnett and Amy Poehler's sons inherited their sense of humor, according to the 52-year-old actor. Arnett stopped by on Tuesday night and dished on how hilarious the former couple's 13-year-old, Archie, and 12-year-old, Abel, are.“I have really funny kids,” Arnett told Kimmel, who agreed, calling the boys “extraordinarily funny.”Reflecting on his kid’s humor, Arnett recalled a story from when Abel was only seven and he joked with one of the podcast host's friends, and told them, “You just got burned by a seven-year-old who is still learning how to tie his shoes!”“I was like, ‘Wow, that’s so layered, he used his own inability to tie his shoes as a burn on the other person.”Arnett went on to share a more recent story, where Abel had a hilarious response to his brother’s criticism. “Archie said, ‘God, Abel just spews all this nonsense and he just says all this stuff that’s a completely conversation killer,'” to which Abel replied, “You know who is a conversation killer?

Jennifer Maas TV Business Writer Netflix has set a third installment of Joe Berlinger’s “Conversations With a Killer” docuseries, this one focused on serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, Variety has learned exclusively. Titled “Conversations With a Killer: The Jeffrey Dahmer Tapes,” the three-part series will launch Oct. 7 on the streamer. Here is the official description for “Conversations With a Killer” season 3, per Netflix: When Milwaukee police entered the apartment of 31-year-old Jeffrey Dahmer in July of 1991, they uncovered the grisly personal museum of a serial killer: a freezer full of human heads, skulls, bones and other remains in various states of decomposition and display. Dahmer quickly confessed to 16 murders in Wisconsin over the previous four years, plus one more in Ohio in 1978, as well as unimaginable acts of necrophilia and cannibalism. The discovery shocked the nation and stunned the local community, who were incensed that such a depraved killer had been allowed to operate within their city for so long. Why was Dahmer, who had been convicted of sexual assault of a minor in 1988, able to avoid suspicion and detection from police as he stalked Milwaukee’s gay scene for victims, many of whom were people of color?

Jennifer Maas TV Business WriterThis year marks the 30th anniversary of Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky’s “Brother’s Keeper,” which, as Berlinger says, is “one of the granddaddies of the true-crime docu movement.”It’s true that the 1992 film about the bizarre murder trial of Delbert Ward, who was accused of the “mercy killing” of his brother in rural upstate New York, was an early entrant in our collective societal obsession with the unscripted true-crime format, which in recent years has crossed over to the scripted side.As one of the founding fathers of the format that has piqued our interest in true crime to the point where limited series including “Impeachment: American Crime Story,” “The Staircase,” “The Dropout,” “Inventing Anna,” “Dr. Death,” “A Very British Scandal,” and several more are all competing in the same Emmys’ cycle, Berlinger has some unique insight into the nonfiction-to-dramatized evolution.
