✨ Amy Poehler is our 2026 Comedy Innovator✨
Amy Poehler’s voice enters the room before she does, piercing the atmosphere like a sonic boom.
It’s a sound that’s transformed her from a sweatah-weathah-loving Bronx matron to a “cool mom” in a jungle of vicious teens to the most dedicated woman in Indiana local government. Now comes “Good Hang,” the hit podcast that sends her straight into listeners’ ears without a shred of armor from a fictional character, just a voice that bounds from joyful to subversive to sincere. The only role she’s playing is herself.
The podcast aims to offer a balm in anxious times, an hour of eavesdropping on Poehler and the famous friends, collaborators and personal heroes she’s amassed over more than 25 years in show business. Her unstudied charm fairly bounces off her studio walls, which are set off with calming colors and fake food. Poehler, a pioneer of ensemble improv comedy, is helming a show that lives or dies on her name only.
“In this season of life,” she says, “it feels satisfying to do something different.”

✨ The Savannah Bananas are our 2026 Sports Innovators✨
“Join me as we enter an oasis of pathological positivity,” writes Jason Gay in his profile of the exhibition baseball team.
“It’s a happy, enthusiastic place, where extroverts are royalty, cynicism is poison, ironic detachment is treated like an injury, and nobody’s ever too cool for school.
Welcome to a bright-yellow refuge from our toxic modern society: Bananaland.
As in the Savannah Bananas, the traveling, dancing, stadium-packing baseball circus—and one of the greatest, most affordable entertainment marvels of its time.”
Both a legitimate ballgame with double plays and home runs and the daffiest outdoor musical you’ve ever seen, Banana Ball is a judgment-free Xanadu where the umpire dances, the pitcher sings, the pinch hitter straps on stilts, and a family can have a pleasant night out without securing a second mortgage.”

✨ Martin McDonagh is our 2026 Film Innovator✨
Martin McDonagh, 56, a London native with Irish blood, transformed himself from hotshot playwright to elite filmmaker by focusing exclusively on his own screenplays. He translated the verbal and emotional precision of theater into a cinematic language as distinct as his film titles: “The Banshees of Inisherin.” “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.” “Seven Psychopaths.” “In Bruges.”
A seven-time Oscar nominee, McDonagh actually does what filmmakers are always promising—transport us to another world—with such removed settings as an Irish island or a Pacific island with monolithic heads. But the worlds he’s really embedding us in are those that exist among people as they grapple with themselves and others.
His characters put as much intensity into discussing the big stuff—heaven, hell, guilt—as they do the small, down to specific words, like beget or cahoots or Arkansas. Sometimes they say what they’re thinking to a nearby donkey, deer or horse.
In a movie industry petrified of losing people’s interest, there’s something almost subversive about “not hiding from characters talking,” as McDonagh describes his specialty.

When Ina Garten, host of the Food Network’s “Barefoot Contessa” and “Be My Guest,” was considering an apartment for sale on Manhattan’s Upper East Side in 2017, her husband of 57 years, Jeffrey Garten, warned her: “Don’t buy the apartment until you know what you’re going to do about the kitchen.”
The room was dark and enclosed, which wasn’t going to fly: Garten doesn’t like to have to leave a party in order to cook. She bought the apartment anyway, and knocked down the kitchen’s walls, opening it up to an adjoining dining area. Now the airy space doubles as the set for her new video podcast, “Happy Hour With Ina Garten,” which debuted last month.
After more than 20 years filming shows from her barn in East Hampton, N.Y., Garten is letting fans see a different part of her life. Episodes of the podcast feature her making drinks for different guests, who join Garten, 78, for candid conversations at her dining-room table. She chooses drinks and appetizers from her arsenal of recipes.
Here, Garten shares her favorite go-to hosting tips.

The richest Americans employ armies of household staff to run their homes like corporations. Kim House does it all by herself.
“Fertilize the fig trees, straighten up the coat closet, fix the coffee machine, tidy the garage, grill the chicken, take the Chanel shoes to get stretched,” House said, rattling off her tasks for the day. She currently works for nine families in the greater Atlanta area and charges around $60 an hour for her services.
Perhaps it was fate that a woman with that last name would become a house manager, a new kind of job for the highly methodical and operations-minded. These professionals aren’t cleaners, planners or organizers but a hybrid of all three with an executive mindset. They keep the house functioning like a business all while sweeping away evidence of life’s messiness. Some describe it as a kind of calling—one that can easily earn them a six-figure income.
House said she makes about $120,000 a year; if she were to hire a small fleet under her, she estimated her take-home would be $200,000.
Staff like this was once reserved for ultra-high-net-worth families living in sprawling estates, but the job has seen rising demand from middle- and upper-middle-class homes, at a time when most families in the U.S. have two working parents. Town + Country, a domestic placement agency owned by Care.com, has seen a 64% increase in requests for house managers so far this year compared to 2025. Meanwhile the Grapevine, a bespoke staffing agency that caters to ultra-high-net-worth individuals and family offices, has seen demand for house managers nearly double since last year.

The writer-director Jordan Firstman knows his new movie is part of a tradition: films where underachieving men are forced to grow up after a child arrives.
In “Club Kid,” Peter (played by Firstman), a gay millennial who has lost one too many nights to drugs, gets a rude awakening when he learns he has a 10-year-old son from a brief encounter at a wild party. Instead of rejecting the kid, Peter steps up. He learns to be a better, more mature person through his newfound responsibilities—just like Dustin Hoffman did in “Kramer vs. Kramer,” Adam Sandler did in “Big Daddy” and plenty of others like them.
Here’s a tour through some of the most memorable movies about guys becoming better people through fatherhood.

Christine Salter spent a year as a teenager on a pearling ship off the northwest coast of Australia. On her 19th birthday, a ship worker extracted a gleaming pearl from an oyster and placed it into her palm. “It’s still the most beautiful pearl that I’ve seen,” says Salter, 47, who plans to give it to her 13-year-old daughter.
Spending a year as a deckhand is a family tradition for Salter, the creative director of Paspaley, a family business that was founded over 90 years ago and cultures rare pearls off Australia’s Kimberley coast. Divers collect wild oysters by hand, placing them in nets worn around their necks. The oysters are then used to cultivate the pearls in a process that takes up to two years. The brand, which works with labels like Van Cleef & Arpels, sets them in fine jewelry.
As the pearling industry faces environmental challenges, tariffs and rising labor costs, Paspaley remains one of the last significant pearl-diving operations in the world. “You must always be evolving,” says Chris Paspaley, 46, one of the brand’s executive directors, who is leading the company’s first U.S. expansion.
Here, cousins Salter and Paspaley, both based in Sydney, discuss the idea that changed their grandfather’s life, the advantages of being a family business and their risky overseas ambitions.

During Metallica’s recent jaunts through sold-out stadiums, lead singer James Hetfield sometimes shouts out the crowd members who brought their kids—or even their grandkids.
This is heartwarming but also discombobulating for the band’s longtime co-manager, Cliff Burnstein. “As an older dude, it’s been ingrained in me that you don’t want to be part of the same culture as your parents,” he said. “That boundary seems to have been erased over the years.” And it’s not just Metallica enjoying an influx of young fans—Weezer, Taking Back Sunday, the Fray, the All-American Rejects and others are seeing the same.
Jude Tenorio, 17, wasn’t even born when the emo band Taking Back Sunday released its debut album, “Tell All Your Friends,” in 2002. He got into the group on fishing trips with his father. “They’re the pinnacle for me,” said Tenorio, who taught himself piano and guitar and recently joined a band of his own.
He is perhaps the first teenager in history to utter the phrase, “I have very cool parents.” “We go to shows and festivals as frequently as we can afford to,” said Jami Tenorio, his mother. “I want to see what he likes.”

Just a few months ago, the Metropolitan Museum of Art was set on opening an exhibit celebrating one of fashion’s most opulent designers. Now, after backlash from donors and politicians, the 2027 Met Gala will lean into populist attire, highlighting jeans and hoodies instead.
The New York museum announced Thursday that its 2027 Costume Institute exhibit will focus on how designers have continuously reimagined everyday clothing, like T-shirts, hoodies and coats, as well as ordinary materials, like paper and plastic.
The show is a plan B for the museum, which earlier this year announced that the couturier John Galliano, who spent years at Dior and Maison Margiela, would be the focus of next year’s exhibit and corresponding Met Gala, the starry, $100,000-a-seat fundraiser attended by A-listers which raises millions. This past May’s gala was underwritten by Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos and secured a record $42 million for the museum.
The choice of Galliano was controversial from the start because of his 2011 conviction for making antisemitic remarks in Paris, where public insults based on religion, race and ethnicity are a crime.
Donors and politicians threatened to pull gifts and funding. In August, Galliano pulled out of the exhibit and the Met paused its plans.
