Jon Lovitz & Tom W. Meyers Talk The Toast — And This Conversation Is a Complete Mess! 😂
What happens when you bring a legendary comedian, a filmmaker, and Robert Bannon together for a conversation about a wedding gone horribly wrong? ABSOLUTE CHAOS! Comedy icon Jon Lovitz and writer-director Tom W. Meyers join The Roundtable with Robert Bannon for a wildly entertaining conversation about their new comedy, THE TOAST, making its world premiere at the 2026 Austin Film Festival! And trust us, this conversation might be just as unpredictable as the movie itself! In THE TOAST, Lovitz plays the father of the bride, whose drunken determination to deliver a wedding toast sends an entire wedding party into panic mode. As friends and family desperately attempt to prevent him from taking the microphone, what should be a beautiful celebration threatens to become an unforgettable disaster. Sounds like the perfect role for Jon Lovitz, doesn't it? A beloved Saturday Night Live veteran, Lovitz has spent decades making audiences laugh with his unmistakable voice, outrageous characters, and unforgettable comedic timing. From The Critic and A League of Their Own to The Wedding Singer, Rat Race, and countless memorable television appearances, Lovitz remains one of comedy's most recognizable personalities. Joining him is writer-director Tom W. Meyers, the creative force behind THE TOAST, who brings this wonderfully disastrous wedding comedy to life. Together, they join Robert for a conversation about the film, comedy, creativity, and the wonderfully ridiculous situations that make us laugh. And somewhere along the way, things get a little out of hand! It's funny. It's unpredictable. It's a little ridiculous. And it's exactly why we love The Roundtable! Whether you've followed Jon Lovitz since his legendary SNL days or you're discovering the madness of THE TOAST, this is one conversation you won't want to miss.

Following Harry: Susanne Rostock & Carmen Perez Celebrate the Extraordinary Life and Legacy of Harry Belafonte | The Roundtable
Harry Belafonte was one of the greatest entertainers of all time, but his most important work may have happened far beyond the stage. The legendary singer, actor, humanitarian, and civil rights activist spent his life fighting injustice, championing equality, and inspiring generations to use their voices for change. Now, the extraordinary documentary FOLLOWING HARRY takes us inside the final twelve years of his remarkable life, revealing the man behind the legend and the movement he helped build. On this special edition of The Roundtable with Robert Bannon, we welcome acclaimed filmmaker Susanne Rostock and activist Carmen Perez for a powerful conversation about the importance of art, activism, mentorship, and the responsibility we all share in shaping the future. Rostock, the award-winning filmmaker behind Sing Your Song, returns to Belafonte's story with an intimate portrait that follows the icon through some of the most significant social movements of the past decade. From the aftermath of Trayvon Martin's death and the protests in Ferguson to the Women's March and private conversations with a new generation of leaders, FOLLOWING HARRY captures a man who refused to stop working for justice. Carmen Perez, a nationally recognized civil rights leader and organizer who worked alongside Belafonte, represents the next generation of activists carrying his mission forward. Through her involvement, the documentary explores how Belafonte's extraordinary wisdom, experience, and determination continue to inspire meaningful action. Featuring appearances by Jamie Foxx, Rosario Dawson, Jesse Williams, Chuck D, Aloe Blacc, Angela Davis, Talib Kweli, and more, FOLLOWING HARRY is not simply a celebration of an American icon. It is a powerful reminder that the fight for equality is far from over. The film also examines the deeply personal questions of aging, legacy, and what it means to pass the torch to a generation facing challenges of its own. What does it mean to be an artist with a purpose? How do we honor those who came before us? And perhaps most importantly, what are we willing to do to make the world better for those who come next? These are the questions at the heart of FOLLOWING HARRY and the reason Harry Belafonte's voice remains as vital today as ever. Join Robert Bannon for a meaningful celebration of an extraordinary life, an unforgettable legacy, and a call to action that belongs to all of us. Because Harry Belafonte didn't just make history. He challenged the rest of us to make a difference. 🎬 Learn more about FOLLOWING HARRY: https://www.followingharry.org 🎙️ The Roundtable with Robert Bannon Your front-row seat to the biggest names in entertainment, Broadway, music, film, television, and beyond! 🌐 Website: www.RobertBannon.com 📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RobertBannon 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robertmbannon 🎵 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@robertbannon 🎧 Listen to The Roundtable with Robert Bannon on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeartRadio, and the Broadway Podcast Network. 📰 Catch our exclusive interviews and features on BroadwayWorld!
