“There are a lot of people offering to help me who have no ability to help me,” Jimmy Kimmel says with a laugh. It’s a Monday in April, and the late-night host is sitting behind the desk in his office above the ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ studio in Hollywood, scrolling through his messages. He is dealing with his third major standoff with President Donald Trump in less than a year, and friends keep checking in.When CBS announced the cancellation of Stephen Colbert’s ‘Late Show’ in July 2025, Trump said that Kimmel was “next.” Two months later, ABC suspended ‘JKL!’ after Kimmel remarked on Trump’s reaction to Charlie Kirk’s assassination in a monologue; the network brought the show back a week after that, prompting Trump to threaten ABC with legal action. Now, the source of Trump’s rage is a joke from a mock White House Correspondents’ Dinner roast Kimmel performed, which included a line describing Melania as having “a glow like an expectant widow.” A few days later, Trump posted a statement to social media demanding Kimmel be fired. No one inside the ‘JKL!’ offices seems all that worried.“Typically, my inclination is to fight back,” Kimmel says. “In that way, Donald Trump and I are not so different.” Kimmel and his fellow late-night hosts have spent the past decade adapting to the Trump era, developing different responses to viewers’ hunger for Trump evisceration. But the president wants him out, late night is dying, and Kimmel — the longest-running, highest-profile host of the television genre — is tired. “I feel a little bit defeated by it,” Kimmel told writer @kvanarendonk after he watched the ‘The Late Show’ finale. “In a lot of ways, I feel like I’m looking at my own future.”So what does the end, and future, look like for Jimmy Kimmel?In our latest Cover Story, VanArendonk sits down with the late-night host.

Around two years ago, Lilli Maren Beard quit her corporate career in management consulting to pursue her dream of baking professionally. After a yearlong stint as a pastry cook, she now works as a freelance baker, collaborating with clients to create bespoke desserts for their special events. Beard’s variety of projects means no two days are the same, and her schedule is highly inconsistent; she will often wake up before the sun rises and sometimes doesn’t make it to bed until midnight or 1 a.m. Tap the link in our bio to see how she makes it work.

The James Dolan glare is a signature look of supreme disappointment. During bleak moments, he’ll sit slumped in a chair along the baseline at Madison Square Garden, the arena he owns, disapprovingly watching the New York Knicks, the team he owns. Last spring, after the 2024–25 Knicks season had ended frustratingly and abruptly, one step short of the NBA Finals, Dolan fired head coach Tom Thibodeau, who had resurrected an awful franchise, and replaced him with Mike Brown, a more anodyne presence who had been fired from three previous NBA head-coaching jobs.Whether Dolan or team president Leon Rose deserves more credit for the move is unclear, but the owner has publicly staked his reputation on the strategy. “The decision to replace Thibodeau now looks like a stroke of genius,” writes Chris Smith. “Not simply because this week the Knicks return to the NBA Finals for the first time in 27 years but because it could provide some level of vindication to Dolan, long one of the most vilified team owners in professional sports.” The team’s magical run is earning Dolan some warmer words from critics and long-suffering fans. In 2020, Spike Lee accused Dolan of “harassing” him after security guards impeded the director’s regular use of an employee entrance at the Garden. Now Lee gives Dolan credit for hiring Brown, Rose, and special adviser William Wesley to engineer this moment. “It’s all orange-and-blue skies,” Lee tells Smith. “Me and Mr. Dolan are Kool & the Gang.”At the link in our bio, read Smith’s full report on how fans are slightly softening up to the Knicks’ owner, whose history of vindictive and petty behavior is wide and deep.

A new niche of influencing has emerged on social media recently — and it’s defined entirely by what its creators lack: friends. These POV videos are titled “you live alone in NYC and have no friends so your nights look like this” or “you’re single, have no friends, live alone and won’t be having kids so this is your Friday night.”The built-in captive audience that has flocked to these accounts has naturally attracted more and more content creators to loneliness influencing. Devon Noehring, a full-time influencer based in Phoenix, said: “I did a vlog about a Friday night. I don’t have a lot of friends that live near me. I almost feel ashamed of not having some fun, crazy plans. So I spilled my guts. I was being vulnerable, and that video blew up.” Noehring now posts “single introvert” content to 357,000 Instagram followers. Whether the audience is other lonely people seeking assurance or voyeurs simply looking to raise a superior eyebrow, it’s clear that social isolation is now a bankable way to build a brand.But it can also be hard to believe. Since this trend is playing out on TikTok and Reels, it’s natural to wonder whether the isolation on display is hyperbolized in order to draw clicks and generate revenue. The concept itself feels somewhat disingenuous: How introverted can a person be while also making public-facing content about their private lives? At the link in bio, Rachel Pick explores the appeal of solitude captured on camera, and speaks to loneliness-focused creators about the driving force behind their videos.

For the past year, the founders of Ben & Jerry’s have accused its parent corporation, Unilever, of choking the ice-cream brand’s beloved social mission. For decades, the company has sought to do more than just sell ice cream, making the environment, workers’ rights, free speech, equality, and peace integral to its business. But Unilever has allegedly thwarted Ben & Jerry’s efforts to protest various actions by Israel, including blocking its public calls for a cease-fire and an end to U.S. military support.In September, Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Ben Cohen began a campaign he called Free Ben & Jerry’s, in an effort to wrest back control of the company.Some of Cohen’s professional allies — social-impact-minded executives, ethical investors — see him as a necessary and galvanizing force. Others, particularly within Unilever’s Dutch offices, tend to speak about Cohen’s efforts with a wry chuckle, seeming to view him as an eccentric old man waging a nutty war in the press rather than as a real threat.Is he truly trying to do what’s best for the company — and the world — or is he just a compulsive contrarian? Carrie Battan reports on the fight to regain control of Ben & Jerry’s at the link in our bio.Photos: @dollyfaibyshev for New York Magazine, Jacquelyn Martin/AP Photo, Courtesy of the subject by @nymag

The Knicks in the NBA Finals this year, after 53 years of futility. There are some Knicks fans who want to pull up the ladder, who say that if you weren’t here for the Jerome James era or the Larry Brown shitshow, you don’t get to be a part of this now. “I am not one of these fans,” writes Will Leitch. “You are welcome to join the bandwagon. It’ll be a delight to have you, and we’ve got room for everyone.” Swipe to see a FAQ to help you get you up to speed — and tap the link in our bio to read more (don’t worry, we won’t tell anyone).Photo: Derek French/Sipa USA/AP Photo by @nymag

Conservatives should have been pleased when Alex Cooper of ‘Call Her Daddy’ announced her pregnancy this month. A famous blonde woman has married a man and will bear a child within the tender bonds of matrimony; isn’t that the ideal? Not quite, according to the Institute for Family Studies, a right-wing think tank.On X, IFS fellow Brad Wilcox called Cooper a “bad actor.” Another blog post on the IFS website said the podcaster “has some atoning to do” because, through podcast episodes and interviews, she has promoted “hook-up culture.” Now that she is married and pregnant, she “has opened the trap door and escaped at least some of the consequences of her lies,” a “luxury” beyond the reach of her eager young fans, the post adds.Conservatives are inventing new ways to insult women specifically: ‘Hello, poor ugly female, please settle early and have kids with whatever you marry or you will be unhappy.’ By placing the burden of marriage and childrearing primarily on young women, they’re issuing a threat, too. Men don’t want tainted women, so if a girl wants love and children, she should stop listening to sirens like Alex Cooper. The logic is simple. Because Cooper brandishes her own active sex life and encourages young women to do the same, she denies reality and will mislead a generation.At the link in our bio, read Sarah Jones on how the Cooper backlash occurs amid demographic anxiety and, with it, an escalating battle for the minds and wombs of American women.Photo: Instagram/AlexandraCooper by @nymag

In our endlessly searchable Pornhub age, when even your cousin has an OnlyFans page and you can stream an orgy on your smartphone while waiting on line for your Shroomami bowl at Sweetgreen, 'The Robin Byrd Show' may come across as more goofy and fun-loving than prurient. Footage in directors Jyllian Gunther and Stephanie Schwam's new film, 'Bang My Box: The Robin Byrd Story,' which premieres at this year's Tribeca Film Festival, is a reminder of when people had lithe bodies and natural breasts and looked as though they were enjoying themselves while hooking up, smiling through uninjected lips.From 1977 until 1998, Byrd hosted the hourlong late-night show on Manhattan Cable Network, on which she featured strippers and interviewed porn actors and downtown personalities. Between segments, Byrd would take calls from viewers, urge them to use condoms and dental dams, and get ready for the next performer, who would vary in gender expression and talent.Underappreciated in her prime as a bawdy after-hours soft-core queen, Byrd is seen by Gunther and Schwam as a crusader for free speech who managed to harness the new medium of cable to talk frankly about sex in the era of Reagan and AIDS. Sarah Jessica Parker, a producer on the film, credits Byrd for paving the way for 'Sex and the City.'“I didn’t even show sex,” Byrd says now. “I wanted to turn you on and tuck you in to have good dreams.”Read @albomike's encounter with Byrd at the link in bio.Photo: @wolfgang_tillmans by @nymag

Football purists with a grumpy view of FIFA president Gianni Infantino — that is, most of them — have a long list of his alleged offenses against the game. They say that during his presidency, Infantino has replaced one form of corruption — the kind that used to come in fat brown envelopes — with another form of compromise: a willingness to bow and scrape and debase his organization and the sport it represents in order to flatter power and gather it for himself. Because while this summer’s matches are spread across three nations, Infantino has latched himself tightly to one of his hosts in particular: Donald Trump.Last year, Infantino was at a MAGA rally the day before Trump’s inauguration. Since then, he has reportedly visited the White House more than any actual head of state during this term, appearing at Trump’s side at events large and small. Infantino has billions of reasons to keep Trump on his team: As long as nothing too seriously disrupts FIFA’s plans, he can expect a cash bonanza from this tournament. The growth of the sport’s popularity in the U.S. presents FIFA with an unprecedented economic opportunity — one Infantino has shamelessly sought to exploit. He has enlarged the field for this tournament, going from 32 to 48 teams, which gives him 104 games to sell tickets to, ignoring warnings that it will result in mismatches. He has set up a FIFA-authorized secondary market where the asking prices for the cheapest seats at many matches are more than $1,000. “There is no doubt that there are those within FIFA — and I’ve heard this in multiple places — that are very uncomfortable with how far he’s leaned into this administration,” said a former U.S. Soccer Federation official. “But if there is no meltdown, he is going to be untouchable.”At the link in our bio, read Andrew Rice’s report on how a Swiss bureaucrat is bringing the biggest, most profitable, most politically tumultuous sporting event of all time to the U.S. — and Donald Trump loves it.Photo-Illustration: Joe Darrow by @nymag

The Knicks are guaranteed at least two home games against the San Antonio Spurs — game three (June 8) and game four (June 10) — with a potential game six (June 16) if needed. But for season-ticket holders, the question of attendance hinges less on the Knicks’ performance than on the soaring price tag on their seats. With some tickets fetching six-figure sums, fans are being forced to consider how much a once-in-a-generation moment is worth. “I’ve waited 53 years for this,” Brian Rivel, a season ticket holder, said. “Is that memory for sale?”Due to a prior commitment, Rivel will sell his tickets to the Knicks’ first home Finals game. Tickets in his section for that game are going for more than $40,000 on resale markets. Although he plans to attend at least one game in the series with his wife — two, if the series goes to six games — Rivel conceded that the staggering prices might change his calculus. “I could list them at a very high number and get life-changing money, where I could send one of my daughters to college,” he said. “It just all depends on how much somebody is willing to offer for those tickets.”“We’ve sold tickets to the NBA Finals every year, and nothing comes close to what we’re seeing for the Knicks,” said Oliver Marvin, the senior director of finance at SeatGeek. “Demand is pricing in Super Bowl territory in a 19,000-seat arena. That’s 27 years of pent-up demand and die-hard fandom hitting all at once.”At the link in our bio, read Tom Kludt’s full report on the dilemma Knicks season-ticket holders are now facing.
