Today's dominance was virtually unchallenged by the other networks until the late 1980s, when it was overtaken by ABC's Good Morning America. Today retook the Nielsen ratings lead the week of December 11, 1995, and held onto that position for 852 consecutive weeks until the week of April 9, 2012, when it was beaten by Good Morning America yet again. In 2002, Today was ranked #17 on TV Guide's 50 Greatest Television  Shows of All Time.

overview:
Total Request Live was a television series on MTV that featured popular music videos. TRL was MTV's prime outlet for music videos as the network continued to concentrate on reality-based programming. In addition to music videos, TRL featured daily guests. The show was a popular promotion tool used by musicians, actors, and other celebrities to promote their newest works to the show's target teen demographic.

TRL played the top ten most requested videos of the day, as requested by viewers who voted online for their favorite video. The countdown started with the tenth most requested video and ended with the most requested. As of October 22, 2007, TRL's countdown was based on votes, charts, ringtones, download, radio airplay, and streams, meaning that the most user requested video might not have been the number 1 video. The show generally aired Monday through Thursday for one hour, though the scheduling and length of the show fluctuated over the years. Despite the word "Live" in the title of the show, many episodes were actually pre-recorded.

It was announced on September 15, 2008 that TRL would be shut down and replaced with FNMTV. The special three-hour finale aired on November 16, 2008, at 8 p.m.

Skavlan

overview:
Skavlan is a Norwegian-Swedish television talk show hosted by Norwegian journalist Fredrik Skavlan. It premiered in Sweden on Sveriges Television in January 2009, and the first guests to appear on the show were former Prime Minister of Sweden Göran Persson and his wife Anitra Steen. On 8 May 2009, it was announced that Skavlan had been renewed for a second season. It was also announced that the show would no longer only be produced by SVT in Sweden; Skavlan would now be partly produced in Norway by the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation. The first twelve episodes of Skavlan's second season were produced by SVT in Sweden, and the remaining twelve by NRK in Norway.

Skavlan speaks Norwegian and his dialog is therefore subtitled in Swedish in Sweden, even though the two languages are quite similar and mutually intelligible. If the persons being interviewed by Skavlan are Swedish, he often tells them to let him know if they do not understand what he is saying. Swedish novelist Jan Guillou has criticized SVT for subtitling the program, stating "there is no need for that. If the host had been Danish, subtitling would have been necessary, but with a Norwegian host it does not make any sense."

Il est devenu rapidement célèbre en tenant le rôle-titre de la série télévisée Le Prince de Bel-Air et a joué dans plusieurs grosses productions hollywoodiennes comme Bad Boys, Independence Day et Men in Black.

Deutsch

biography:
Willard Carroll „Will“ Smith Jr. (* 25. September 1968 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) ist ein US-amerikanischer Schauspieler, Filmproduzent und Rapper.

Smith gab am Anfang seiner Karriere als Musiker viel Geld aus und zahlte zu wenig Einkommensteuer. Die US-Steuerbehörde verhängte schließlich eine Steuernachzahlung von 2,8 Millionen US-Dollar gegen Smith, so dass er dadurch einen Großteil seines Besitzes verlor und sein Einkommen gepfändet wurde. Smith war 1990 fast bankrott, als Benny Medina, ein Manager von Warner Brothers, auf ihn aufmerksam wurde. Er fand, dass die Geschichte vom „naiven, vorlauten Will aus Philadelphia“ in der Ortschaft Beverly Hills etwas Witziges und Fernsehreifes hatte. Dadurch wurde, basierend auf Smiths Werdegang, die NBC-Fernsehserie Der Prinz von Bel-Air konzipiert, die erfolgreich von 1990 bis 1996 produziert wurde. Obwohl Smith bereits 1993 ein bemerkenswertes Leinwanddebüt in Das Leben – Ein Sechserpack hatte, wurde er erst in dem Buddy-Movie Bad Boys – Harte Jungs einem breiten Publikum als Leinwandschauspieler bekannt. Der endgültige weltweite Durchbruch gelang ihm mit den Filmen Independence Day (1996) und Men in Black (1997).

Die Matrix-Macherinnen Lilly und Lana Wachowski boten ihm 1999 die Hauptrolle des Neo in der Matrix-Trilogie an. Smith jedoch lehnte die Rolle ab, um stattdessen in Wild Wild West mitzuspielen. Dadurch verhalf er Keanu Reeves zu dessen bisher erfolgreichster Rolle. Smith äußerte später zu Wild Wild West, dass er sich „schlecht dabei fühle, dass die Werbung den Film als guten Film verkauft, obwohl es ein schlechter Film ist“.

Der Film Ali zeigt den Lebenslauf der Boxer-Legende Muhammad Ali alias Cassius Clay. Die Rolle brachte Smith eine Oscar-Nominierung ein. Im Film Das Streben nach Glück agierte er an der Seite seines Sohnes Jaden. Für seine darstellerischen Leistungen wurde er dafür zum zweiten Mal für den Oscar nominiert, den er aber wiederum nicht erhielt. 2004 lieh er dem Winzlingsfisch Oscar in Große Haie – Kleine Fische seine Stimme.

Am 5. August 2016 kam David Ayers Comicverfilmung Suicide Squad in die amerikanischen Kinos, in dem Smith die Rolle des Scharfschützen und Attentäters Deadshot übernahm.

Im Juli 2017 wurde bekannt, dass Smith in der Realverfilmung des Disney Films Aladdin die Rolle des Dschinni verkörpern wird.  Zwischen Juni 2007 und Juni 2008 erhielt Smith Gagen in Höhe von 80 Millionen US-Dollar, wodurch er laut dem amerikanischen Forbes Magazine noch vor Johnny Depp (72 Millionen US-Dollar), Eddie Murphy und Mike Myers (je 55 Millionen US-Dollar) zum am besten verdienenden Hollywood-Schauspieler avancierte. Gleichzeitig galt Will Smith zu dieser Zeit auch als einer der sichersten Publikumsmagneten überhaupt. So wurde er von amerikanischen Kinobesitzern zum „kassenträchtigsten Star des Jahres“ 2008 gewählt. Seit 2009 sind ihm allerdings – mit der Ausnahme von Men in Black 3 – keine großen Kassenerfolge mehr vergönnt gewesen.

biography:
Willard Carroll «Will» Smith, Jr., (25 de septiembre de 1968, Filadelfia, Pensilvania, Estados Unidos), mejor conocido como Will Smith, es un actor y rapero estadounidense que ha tenido éxito en sus dos facetas artísticas: ha sido nominado a cuatro Premios Globo de Oro y a dos Premios Óscar, y ha ganado Premios Grammy. A finales de los años 1980, alcanzó una modesta fama como rapero, con el nombre de The Fresh Prince. En 1990, su fama aumentó drásticamente, cuando protagonizó la serie de televisión The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, que se transmitió durante más de media década (1990 - 1996) en la NBC y se ha retransmitido de forma permanente en diversas cadenas. A mediados de los 90, pasó de la televisión al cine, y actuó en numerosas películas que lograron un gran éxito de taquilla. También recibió un premio especial por su aportación a la música dentro del cine, en la Gala de los Premios Principales del 2007.

Es el único actor de la historia que ha actuado en ocho películas consecutivas que hayan generado más de 100 millones de dólares en la taquilla nacional, y también el único actor que ha participado en ocho películas consecutivas que han alcanzado el número uno en su estreno. Sus películas de mayor éxito financiero han sido Bad Boys, Bad Boys II, Independence Day, Men in Black, Men in Black II, Men in Black III, Yo, robot, En busca de la felicidad, Soy leyenda, Hancock, Wild Wild West, Enemigo público, Shark Tale, Hitch, Siete almas y After Earth. También recibió elogios de la crítica por sus actuaciones en Ali y en Seis grados de separación. En el 2013, adquirió los derechos para Estados Unidos del programa de televisión español El hormiguero, presentado por Pablo Motos.

Forbes lo considera la estrella más financiable en todo el mundo, a pesar de la taquilla y la decepción crítica de su película del 2013, After Earth. De los 20 filmes de ficción en las que ha actuado en todo el mundo, dieciséis han acumulado ganancias brutas de más de $100 millones cada uno, y cinco ganaron más de $500 millones cada uno de los ingresos mundiales de taquilla. A partir del 2014, sus películas han recaudado $600 millones en la taquilla mundial.

Megnyerő és ravasz viselkedésével nyerte el a "Prince" becenevet - ebből lett később a Fresh Prince művésznév, Smith ugyanis gyerekkorába kezdett rappelni, majd egyik barátjával, Jeff Townesszal (D.J. Jazzy Jeff) 1985-ben megalakították a D.J. Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince nevű formációt, amelyben Will a szövegekért volt felelős, Jeff pedig a zenéért.

Will színészként 1990-ben robbant be a köztudatba, amikor is leszerződött az NBC televíziós társasággal egy, a személyére épülő sitcomra, mely hazánkban Kaliforniába jöttem címmel vált ismertté.

Hat évadon és 147 epizódon át játszott a sorozatban, alakítását kétszer (1993 és 1994-ben) Golden Globe-díjra is jelölték.

Karrierjében az igazi áttörést a Bad boys - Mire jók a rosszfiúk? (1995) című akciófilm hozta meg, amelyben partnerével, Martin Lawrence-szel egy nagydumás miami rendőrpárost alakítottak. A következő évben véget ért a Kaliforniába jöttem, Smith pedig főszerepet kapott a Roland Emmerich rendezésében bemutatott A függetlenség napja (1996) című nagysikerű sci-fiben.

1997-ben Tommy Lee Jones oldalán megkapta James Edwards, vagyis J. ügynök szerepét a hatalmas népszerűségnek örvendő Barry Sonnenfeld Men in Black - Sötét zsarukban (1997).

1999-ben visszautasította Neo szerepét a Mátrix című filmben, hogy a Wild Wild West - Vadiúj vadnyugat (1999) western-komédiára tudjon koncentrálni.

2001-ben karrierje legnagyobb kihívása elé nézett, amikor is egy valós személyt, Cassius Clayt, vagyis Muhammad Alit alakította az Ali (2001) című életrajzi drámában.

2002-ben és 2003-ban két korábbi sikerfilmjének folytatásán dolgozott. Ismét J ügynököt alakította a Men in Black - Sötét zsaruk 2.-ben (2002), valamint Johnny Tapia drogbáró után nyomozott a Bad Boys 2. - Már megint a rosszfiúkban (2003).

Két évvel később főszerepet vállalt az Én, a robot (2005) című sci-fiben, de még ugyanebben az évben A randiguruban (2005) is láthattuk, melyben egy randi-tanácsadót alakított.
