But we know him now! We know him as a guy who may have [fibbed about his “Awww shucks, you want me to try out to be host?” story](s1-hn9dvN:m:1:2364960064:E0C46CA636E2CE248D41E8B061292BD4:r) and a [defendant in a discrimination suit at The Price Is Right after he allegedly fired a pregnant model on the show](s1-hn9dvN:m:1:2364960064:E0C46CA636E2CE248D41E8B061292BD4:r).

Well, here's another. You might be thinking that you've already seen The Suicide Squad when what you really saw was 2016's Suicide Squad (no "The"), the dark and violent David Ayer outing that just about disappointed everyone. This time, James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy) takes over behind the camera, allegedly adding more irreverent humor and over-the-top violence that fits the franchise, and he’s joined by a cast that includes Margot Robbie, Idris Elba, John Cena, Joel Kinnaman, and Viola Davis. [Reviews are already overwhelmingly positive](s1-hn9dvN:m:1:2364960064:E0C46CA636E2CE248D41E8B061292BD4:r), so go in expecting a good time. s1-hn9dvN:m:1:2364960064:E0C46CA636E2CE248D41E8B061292BD4:r SERIES PREMIERE SUNDAY AT 9/8C ON SHOWTIME, ENTIRE SEASON STREAMS SUNDAY ON SHOWTIME.COM [UFO will make you believe](s1-hn9dvN:m:1:2364960064:E0C46CA636E2CE248D41E8B061292BD4:r) Sunday night is also the premiere of Season 17 of Ancient Aliens, a crackpot crockumentary about the existence of aliens in ancient times that has been debunked to dust, yet still airs as entertainment. It’s fact-light shows like this, and Netflix’s recent Top Secret UFO Projects: Declassified (which has jumped up [Netflix's Top 10 rankings](s1-hn9dvN:m:1:2364960064:E0C46CA636E2CE248D41E8B061292BD4:r)), that give viewers pause whenever a UFO docuseries is released, but Showtime’s four-part series UFO comes packed with cred. It’s produced by bona fide nerd J.J. Abrams and directed by Mark Monroe (director of the Oscar-winning documentary Icarus, also very good and streaming on Netflix), and focuses on the 2017 bombshell report by The New York Times that found the government had been investigating the existence of UFOs. After a lukewarm premiere episode that establishes doubt in the government, things really heat up in Episode 2 when military members talk about their encounter with a “tic-tac-shaped object” that was covered up by their superiors. Is there undeniable proof that aliens exist within? No, but it does make you feel better about believing that there are. s1-hn9dvN:m:1:2364960064:E0C46CA636E2CE248D41E8B061292BD4:r SUNDAY AT 8 PM ET/5PM PT ON NBC, LIVE AT 7 AM ET/4 AM PT ON PEACOCK [How to watch the Olympics Closing Ceremonies](s1-hn9dvN:m:1:2364960064:E0C46CA636E2CE248D41E8B061292BD4:r) They came and went, so watch them go. The 2021 Tokyo Olympics Closing Ceremony will take place at the butt crack of dawn here in the U.S. (well, 7 a.m. ET, but that’s too early for me), but you can watch the replay at night like a normal person. Just stay off the interwebs to avoid spoilers.

Kilmer lends his own home movies he's taken over the years to the film – which includes videos from the set of Batman Forever, and footage of younger versions of Sean Penn and Kevin Bacon just hanging out – and provides a look at his struggle with throat cancer, from which he's still recovering and which has left him using a prosthesis in order to speak. It seems more revealing than the standard celebrity doc, and that's enough to get me to watch. -Allison Picurro s1-hn9dvN:m:1:2364960064:E0C46CA636E2CE248D41E8B061292BD4:r s1-hn9dvN:m:1:2364960064:E0C46CA636E2CE248D41E8B061292BD4:r s1-hn9dvN:m:1:2364960064:E0C46CA636E2CE248D41E8B061292BD4:r s1-hn9dvN:m:1:2364960064:E0C46CA636E2CE248D41E8B061292BD4:r s1-hn9dvN:m:1:2364960064:E0C46CA636E2CE248D41E8B061292BD4:r s1-hn9dvN:m:1:2364960064:E0C46CA636E2CE248D41E8B061292BD4:r s1-hn9dvN:m:1:2364960064:E0C46CA636E2CE248D41E8B061292BD4:r [Unsubscribe](s1-hn9dvN:m:1:2364960064:E0C46CA636E2CE248D41E8B061292BD4:r:) | [View online]( © 2021 TV Guide, A Red Ventures company.
