Paul MobleyLegendary comedian Tracy Morgan will star in the title role of a forthcoming Paramount+ comedy called Crutch — a spin-off of CBS' hit The Neighborhood.That show's star, Cedric the Entertainer, will be executive producing the series with Morgan. Tracy stars as Francois "Frank" Crutchfield — "Crutch" to his friends — "a Harlem widower whose empty nest plans are put on hold after his millennial son and free-spirited daughter move back home," CBS Studios teased.Production will get underway later in 2024.Owen Smith, who wrote the premiere script and will also serve as showrunner, last teamed up with Morgan on the comedy series The Last O.G. Ced said in the announcement, "I'm excited to be expanding our The Neighborhood universe ... with the legendary comedian Tracy Morgan," explaining Crutch is the "close cousin" to his Neighborhood patriarch, Calvin Butler.Cedric calls Crutch "a 'say-it-like-it-is' dad who will undoubtedly have a lot to say when his once-empty nest is filled again.""[L]et's say there will be several comedic complications," he adds.For his part, Morgan said, "Crutch will be navigating the ups and downs of having his kids and grandkids back under one roof, and you know if I am doing this, there will be plenty of laughs along the way." He noted he's "so happy to be able to do this with my brother Cedric The Entertainer."Tracy added, "Get ready for your new favorite show!"Jeff Grossman, the executive vice president of programming at Paramount+, called the spin-off a "natural fit" for CBS' sister streamer, where subscribers can stream The Neighborhood. "We can't wait to see what the immense talents behind Crutch ... bring to this new series," Grossman added.Copyright © 2024, ABC Audio. All rights reserved.

Edith Polverini/Getty Images (HOUSTON, Texas) -- More than 20 million people remain under a flood watch in Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas on Sunday.Harris County, Texas, Judge Lina Hidalgo said Sunday that 224 people and 153 pets have been rescued amid the flooding. No deaths or injuries have been reported."Unfortunately, what we saw was basically what we predicted, which was a lot of flooding," Hidalgo had said Saturday, noting that in some areas, there has been flooding "all the way up to the power lines."The east fork of the San Jacinto River crested at 77.8 feet above sea level and the water is still rising on the west fork, according to Hidalgo.The judge warned that it was too late for residents to evacuate without calling 911."We're not out of the woods yet and a level of uncertainty remains," Hidalgo said.Several rivers in the Houston area are at major flood stage, with the Trinity River, located northeast of Houston, likely swelling to its highest level on record Sunday.Heavy rain is falling over the Houston area late Sunday afternoon and into the evening. At this point, any rainfall is a problem as the ground is fully saturated and waterways are exacerbated.The area from Beaumont to College Station, or north and east of Houston, has seen 800% of its normal rainfall over the last week.Flooding of the Trinity River in Texas, east of Houston, will continue in a major flood stage for at least the next week.Not only is it forecast to go higher than it was during Hurricane Harvey in 2017, but it is likely to surpass its all-time record from 1945.The heaviest rain has eased up in southeast Texas on Saturday morning, with the region set to experience a reprieve for the day.However, on Sunday, a mass of heavy rain is positioned to move back in and is expected to drench that region with an additional 1 to 3 inches of rain. There should also be heavy rain across much of Oklahoma, with cities like Oklahoma City and Tulsa facing 1 to 3 inches as well.Additionally, that severe weather threat is expected to shift east into the Houston area on Sunday, bringing a flooding rain chance with it as the potential for more severe thunderstorms on Monday in the central plains from Dallas to Sioux Falls is possible.Across parts of the country, the first scorching heat wave of the year next could happen by the middle of the week as temperatures across much of the south are expected to jump into the 90s and 100s.Copyright © 2024, ABC Audio.

Thinkstock Images/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- Protests have broken out at colleges and universities across the country in connection with the war in Gaza.Many pro-Palestinian protesters are calling for their colleges to divest of funds from Israeli military operations, while some Jewish students on the campuses have called the protests antisemitic and said they are scared for their safety.The student protests -- some of which have turned into around-the-clock encampments -- have erupted throughout the nation following arrests and student removals at Columbia University in New York City. Students at schools including Yale University, New York University, Harvard University, University of Texas at Austin, University of Southern California and more have launched protests.Here's how the news is developing. All times Eastern:May 03, 10:15 PMUCLA classes to resume on MondayThe University of California Los Angeles announced classes are "expected to resume in full on Monday," in an update Friday evening."Campus operations will be limited through the weekend, and are expected to resume in full on Monday. Classes continue remote through the weekend. Work, events and research activities are encouraged to remain remote or be rescheduled wherever possible during that period," UCLA said in a statement.A law enforcement presence will continue "to be stationed around campus to help promote safety," the university said.May 03, 6:09 PMNYU president explains use of NYPD to end encampmentLinda G. Mills, the president of NYU, posted a statement Friday evening explaining why the school called in the NYPD to break up an encampment on the Greene St. Walkway earlier in the day.Mills said 14 people who refused orders to leave the area were arrested and the incident was non-violent.The president said that the police were called in for numerous reasons, including noise complaints from nearby residents and businesses, safety concerns over the crowds of supporters and counter-protesters and escalating threats."The encampment had become increasingly untenable for the NYU community and the neighborhood we inhabit," she said.Mills said three senior administrators spoke with the protesters over the weekend to come to an agreement over shutting down the encampment.The president said things escalated on Wednesday when a group of people from a May Day march came to the walkway and got into altercations.The May Day incident and other issues, including threats leveled at NYU administrators, led the school to call the NYPD, according to Mills."The university’s senior leadership and I were compelled to conclude that we could not tolerate the risk of violence any longer and that we could not responsibly or in good conscience wait until something drastically worse were to happen in order to act. We needed to bring this to a close," she said.May 03, 2:44 PMUniversity of Mississippi protest confrontation draws scrutinyFootage from the University of Mississippi campus captures intense confrontations between pro-Palestinian protesters and counter-protesters.The dozens of pro-Palestinian protesters gathered on the campus to call for divestment from military operations in Gaza and for the university to condemn what they call "genocide."Footage shows a much larger counter-protest surrounding the students, with many donning American flags.Protesters reported being subject to racism and violent threats and having food thrown at them by counter-protesters.In one video, a Black protester can be seen recording and speaking to counter-protesters, moving past the protective barricades around pro-Palestinian protesters.Law enforcement officers can be seen urging her to walk back as counter-demonstrators taunt her, including on student making a monkey impersonation and others chanting "lock her up," according to the Stacey Spiehler, who took the video.Law enforcement also urged counter-protesters to stand back.Jacob Batte, Ole Miss’ director of news and media relations, told ABC News they "cannot comment specifically about that video," but that "statements were made at the demonstration on our campus Thursday that were offensive and inappropriate."The university said it is looking into reports about specific actions and "any actions that violate university policy will be met with appropriate action."In a statement following the confrontations, protesters said they were met with "blind reactionism that had little to do with the genocide we were protesting as well as our demands."-ABC News' Chris Looft and Kiara AlfonsecaMay 03, 12:32 PMNYPD sergeant accidentally discharged gun during Columbia building operationAn officer accidentally discharged his gun as the New York Police Department worked to clear Hamilton Hall -- a building that had been occupied by Columbia University students on April 30, Assistant Chief Carlos Valdez, the commanding officer of the NYPD Emergency Service Unit, said Friday.During the operation, a sergeant unintentionally discharged his firearm while attempting to gain access to an office."The sergeant was transitioning his firearm to his non-dominant hand to unlock the office door from the inside when the discharge occurred," Valdez said.There were no injuries and the bullet was contained within the vacant office. Valdes said that at no point were police officers, members of the public or protesters in danger."This was purely unintentional," he said.May 03, 12:03 PMNew York University, New School explain decision to remove, arrest studentsNew York University and New School, in separate statements, said they requested police move students from their campuses after multiple rounds of negotiations failed.NYU said the "encampment had become increasingly untenable for the NYU community and the neighborhood we inhabit." Classes will proceed as normal today.NYU said it is aware of calls for a 4 p.m. protest at the former site of the encampment.The New School, which switched to remote learning Friday, said students continued to set up in the lobby of the University Center building and block access to the "residence hall, classrooms, library, and cafeteria."Despite the university "pleading to allow their fellow students to enter their residence hall, the protesters would not budge."The New School said the protests continued even after they "provided a confirmed date this month for the Investment Committee to consider a vote on disinvestment.""It is a sad day for all of us who are part of this university community and who believe in free speech, which we have pledged to protect and will continue to protect," The New School said in a statement.May 03, 8:49 AM56 people arrested at New School, NYUFifty-six people have been arrested at The New School and New York University after the schools authorized police to clear encampments, according to the New York Police Department.Forty-three people were arrested at The New School and 13 people where arrested at NYU, the NYPD said.-ABC News' Aaron KaterskyMay 03, 6:48 AMNYU has authorized NYPD to clear encampmentNYU has requested assistance from the NYPD to "disperse the illegal encampment on their property.""As per their request, we are on site and our officers will be assisting with the unparalleled professionalism embodied by our police officers," NYPD Deputy Commissioner, Operations Kaz Daughtry, said in a statement on social media.May 03, 2:07 AM30 arrested at Portland State University throughout the day: PolicePortland police say that at least 30 people have been arrested over their involvement in ongoing protests at Portland State University."Additional arrests have been made at PSU’s library after trespassers illegally entered the building again despite efforts to secure it," police said in their statement.

ABCOn Saturday morning, May 4, legendary filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola dropped a tease to his decades-in-the-making, mostly self-funded epic Megalopolis.In the snippet, apparently from the movie's opening moments, one of the movie's many stars, Adam Driver, playing a man named Caesar, emerges from a window atop what appears to be New York City's Chrysler Building.Dressed in a black suit and shirt, he shakily makes his way to the ledge, taking in the view, before he takes a fateful step off.However, he's heard screaming "Time stop!" and sure enough, Caesar is paused mid-step, his body leaning over to the point where gravity would have logically already taken him. There's a dizzying zoom of the height of the building from his perspective, from where we can see traffic has been stopped in its tracks, too.Impossibly, Driver leans back onto the roof, and snaps his finger, and time and traffic resumes, and he seems to gaze at the city before him with fresh eyes. The teaser then cuts to black as ominous music plays for nearly 10 seconds until it ends.Megalopolis reportedly centers on the rebuilding of a New York-like city after a disaster. The Oscar-winning filmmaker's cast includes Driver, Shia LaBeouf, and Coppola's sister and Godfather and Rocky franchise star Talia Shire, as well as Oscar winners Forest Whitaker, Jon Voight and Dustin Hoffman; Oscar nominee Laurence Fishburne; Emmy nominee Giancarlo Esposito; Licorice Pizza's Isabelle Kusman; Saturday Night Live's Chloe Fineman and Fast and Furious series star Nathalie Emmanuel.Megalopolis is set to premiere at the 77th Cannes Film Festival on May 17.Copyright © 2024, ABC Audio.

Al Seib/ Los Angeles Times(SANTA CRUZ, Calif.) -- The captain of a scuba dive boat that caught fire off the California coast in 2019, killing 34 people, was sentenced to four years in federal prison on Thursday, the Department of Justice said.A federal jury found Jerry Boylan, 70, of Santa Barbara, guilty of seaman's manslaughter in November 2023 in connection with the deadly boat fire.Boylan was the captain of the Conception, a 75-foot boat that caught fire while it was docked at Platt's Harbor near Santa Cruz Island during a scuba diving excursion in the early morning hours on Sept. 2, 2019, while passengers and crew members were sleeping. One crew member and 33 passengers died, while Boylan and four other crew members jumped overboard and survived.U.S. District Judge George Wu issued the sentence after hearing more than a dozen victim impact statements.The sentence also included three years of supervised release, according to ABC Los Angeles station KABC.AdvertisementA restitution hearing was scheduled for July 11. Boylan was ordered to surrender on that date or shortly thereafter to begin serving his sentence, KABC reported."The defendant's cowardice and repeated failures caused the horrific deaths of 34 people," U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada said in a statement following the sentencing. "The victims' families will be forever devastated by this needless tragedy. While today's sentence cannot fully heal their wounds, we hope that our efforts to hold this defendant criminally accountable brings some measure of healing to the families."A federal grand jury initially indicted Boylan on 34 counts of misconduct or neglect of ship officer -- commonly known as seaman's manslaughter -- in 2020. He faced a maximum of 340 years in prison if convicted. His attorneys argued that the deaths were the result of a single incident -- not separate crimes -- and he was subsequently charged with only one count, which carried a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.Family members of some of the victims urged the judge to impose the maximum sentence during the hearing."We're very relieved that this is finally over, but we really felt like our son's life, and those of the others, was certainly worth more than" the 48-month sentence, Kathleen McIlvain, the mother of one of the victims, Charles McIlvain, told reporters outside the courthouse. "Our lives are changed forever. I don't really know how we can go forward, but we'll give it a shot for Charlie."Federal prosecutors also sought the maximum sentence, arguing in a court document filed last month ahead of sentencing that the seasoned captain set sail with the "full knowledge of the potentially catastrophic consequences of his reckless conduct.""He knew that his crew was inexperienced and that he had not trained them to fight a fire. He knew that he had never conducted a single fire drill with his crew. He knew that he habitually ignored the most basic tenet of maritime fire safety in failing to maintain a roving patrol at night," prosecutors wrote.Prosecutors further claimed that Boylan "has never apologized, much less taken any responsibility for the atrocity he caused," and did not attempt any rescue during the fire and instead saved himself."He was the first to abandon ship. He instructed his crew to do the same, multiple times. In so doing, he left all 34 victims onboard the Conception to die," prosecutors wrote.Boylan's attorneys argued for five years of probation, including three years of home incarceration, citing the captain's age, "significant" health issues and the "profound grief, remorse, and emotional despair" he has felt since the accident. They also pushed back at the prosecutors' portrayal of him as "callous and uncaring.""That insensitive portrayal is based on nothing but a cruel caricature," his attorneys wrote in a court document filed last month ahead of the sentencing. "It in no way reflects the real person who continues to suffer on a daily basis since the day of the horrible Conception accident in which he nearly lost his own life."His attorneys argued Boylan did not "abandon" the vessel but alerted the Coast Guard, jumped out of the burning wheelhouse "only at the last possible second" and helped rescue the surviving crew in the ocean, among other efforts.His attorneys also cited a National Transportation Safety Board report that determined that the probable cause of the accident was the failure of the Conception's owner and operator, Truth Aquatics, to "provide effective oversight of its vessel and crewmember operations, including requirements to ensure that a roving patrol was maintained, which allowed a fire of unknown cause to grow, undetected, in the vicinity of the aft salon on the main deck."The cause for the fire could not be identified due to the boat burning and sinking, though it started in the rear of the main back salon where the passengers had plugged in their phones and other devices before going to sleep, the NTSB report said.The owner of Truth Aquatics, Glen Fritzler, has not commented on the NTSB report or Boylan's case.In a statement days after the incident, Fritzler said he was "utterly crushed" and "devastated" by the accident."Our lives have been irreversibly changed by this tragedy and the sorrow it has caused," he said. "The families and friends of the victims and survivors are now, and forever, in our thoughts and prayers."Copyright © 2024, ABC Audio. All rights reserved.

Participant holds a protest sign at a rally as immigration advocates and allies gathered at Battery Park, New York City, on Oct. 26, 2019. -- Erik Mcgregor/LightRocket via Getty Images, FILE(WASHINGTON) -- The Biden administration has finalized plans to expand government-subsidized health insurance for people brought to the country illegally as children but shielded from deportation under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.Immigrants with DACA status receive protections from deportation but had been formerly barred from receiving health care coverage made available by the Affordable Care Act.But now, an estimated 100,000 previously uninsured DACA holders can enroll in coverage, according to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, fulfilling a pledge the White House made last year."Dreamers are our neighbors and friends; They are students, teachers, social workers, doctors, and nurses. More importantly, they are fellow Americans," Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra said in a statement on Thursday, referring to the frequent nickname for DACA holders."More than one third of DACA recipients currently do not have health insurance, so making them eligible to enroll in coverage will improve their health and wellbeing, and help the overall economy," Becerra said.DACA holders are currently three times more likely to be uninsured and those who are uninsured are generally less likely to seek out preventative care, Becerra said.The new policy will take effect in November. Household income and the option to obtain health coverage from an employer will be factors in coverage eligibility, an administration official said."This final rule also reflects the president's belief that health care is a right not a privilege for all Americans, that it should extend to DACA recipients just like the rest of us," White House Domestic Policy Advisor Neera Tanden told reporters. "This landmark final rule will make DACA recipients eligible for the Affordable Care Act coverage for the first time."The Obama-era DACA program, which dates back to 2012, is controversial among conservatives and has long been tied up in legal battles. The Biden administration is seeking to protect it from further legal scrutiny by codifying it into regulatory policy -- an ongoing process.The Biden administration has also faced criticism from some advocates and Democrats for abandoning a potential pathway to citizenship for DACA holders as part of bipartisan Senate negotiations on immigration earlier this year.Democrats continue to blame Republicans for rejecting that deal despite the long-time objections of many in the GOP to a citizenship pathway for migrants already living in the country after entering illegally.Copyright © 2024, ABC Audio.
