Scandal's Joe Morton on the Hit Series' Final Season
The final eleven episodes of ABC's hit series "Scandal," kick off on Jan. 18, and one of the juiciest parts on the show has been played, for 6 of the past 7 seasons, by Joe Morton, aka Papa Eli Pope. The Emmy winner joins us now to tell us what to look out for as the series winds down, as well as his many other projects on the stage and screen.
Morton is currently appearing in DC Comics' Justice League, and also just finished a stage run playing the late comedian and civil rights activist Dick Gregory.
Morton obviously won't tell us what's in store for Scandal's series finale. Before he leaves, however, he delivers an intense Eli Pope-style monologue (that he just threw together in the car.)
Over 500 restaurants are taking part in New York Restaurant Week, which concludes on Aug. 20. Cheddar News checks in from Dagon Restaurant in the city's Upper West Side to discuss some of its delicious Mediterranean-inspired dishes with Chef Ari Bokovza.
Wondering what to watch this weekend? We suggest Mario & Luigi, Meghan Markle before royalty, a bust out of jail guide and perhaps the greatest musician ever!
A new study shows different strategies may be effective at motivating people to donate, apart from all that “sadvertising.” The study from Nathan Chan, assistant professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and Casey Wichman, assistant professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology, found that people in good moods are more likely to donate to a charitable cause.
Actor Randall Park is making his feature debut as a director with the upcoming film, "Shortcomings," and spoke with Cheddar News about the movie. Other cast members also joined to talk about the film.
