Jeff Gaspin, Netflix’s head of unscripted series in the U.S. and Canada, recently told Vulture that he had one key requirement before signing on to the show: live audience voting. He wanted viewers to act as a fourth judge during the performances, not afterwards, and to be able to vote easily using their remote controls. He challenged Netflix’s product team to create a voting system that could handle millions of simultaneous votes, and they delivered within 24 hours. According to Gaspin, they’ve been perfecting this feature for the past year.

Netflix is launching a new live competition series called Star Search tonight. Unlike previous talent shows the streamer has tried, like last year’s Building the Band, Star Search will air live each week, allowing viewers to vote for their favorite contestants in real-time.

All I know is Stephen is trouble, so whatever he’s planning can’t be good.

Even though the exciting ending of The Rip might make viewers wonder how accurate it is, the movie actually gets a surprising amount of detail right. Of course, some parts were changed or added to make the film more thrilling. But what’s the real story behind The Rip? Fortunately, the events were widely reported when they happened, so audiences can easily see where the movie takes creative license.

What’s really remarkable about Jim Carrey’s success is that he achieved so much without relying on established franchises. While he did participate in some franchise films like Batman Forever and How the Grinch Stole Christmas, his biggest hits, Ace Ventura and Dumb and Dumber, were original ideas. Interestingly, those original films spawned sequels that weren’t as well-received. A more recent franchise he’s involved with, however, has been getting better over the past six years.
