Jimmy Kimmel shades Jon Stewart after losing to him at Emmys 2024

Jimmy Kimmel took the stage during the 2024 Emmys last night, but did not get to take home an award. Kimmel, 56, had just lost to Jon Stewart in the outstanding talk series category at the prestigious awards and was later lined up to honour comedian Bob Newhart in the deceased industry professional category.And the Emmy for deceased industry professional we will miss most goes to,” Kimmel began following the ceremony’s In Memoriam segment, at which the late Bob Newhart’s picture was displayed for the audience.

“Bob was a humble, politely hilarious man,” Kimmel then said of the late comedian, in particular. “He got his first Emmy nomination in 1962 and did not win one until 2013, 51 years later, which is a great lesson.

From there, Kimmel jokingly jabbed, “And that lesson is: Jon Stewart, you should be ashamed of yourself. You said you were retiring,” referring to Stewart’s return to hosting shows after a nine-year hiatus.

Kimmel’s ABC talk show was up against Jon Stewart’s The Daily Show, Late Night with Seth Meyers, and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert for outstanding talk series.

In his acceptance speech, Stewart said the win has “made an old man very happy.

Aston Villa 3-2 Everton

Aston Villa 3-2 Everton

Aston Villa 3-2 Everton. Substitute Jhon Duran’s spectacular long-range strike secured Aston Villa a dramatic Premier League comeback victory as Everton once again faltered from a 2-0 lead, marking their second consecutive collapse.

Everton had been left stunned by a late meltdown against Bournemouth in their previous match, and on Saturday, they repeated the pattern, allowing a two-goal advantage to slip away and continuing their winless streak this season.

The game started with Villa on the front foot. Ollie Watkins had a header cleared off the line early on, but the visitors soon took the lead. Dwight McNeil seized possession from former Everton player Amadou Onana and surged forward to score with a precise finish into the far corner.

Despite their struggles, Sean Dyche’s team managed to double their lead in the 27th minute with a powerful header from Dominic Calvert-Lewin. However, Villa responded before halftime, with former Everton full-back Lucas Digne delivering a cross for Watkins to head in his first goal of the season.

As Villa prepares for their Champions League debut on Tuesday, they showed resilience by leveling the score. Watkins scored again, converting from close range after Jack Harrison’s poor clearance.

The comeback was completed 14 minutes from time when Colombian striker Duran, picking up the ball from 25 yards out, unleashed a stunning shot that dipped and swerved into the top corner, leaving Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford helpless.

This fixture, the most played in English league history, provided a thrilling encounter, with Villa recovering impressively after initially struggling at home. Under Unai Emery, who took over in October 2022, Villa has transformed from a relegation-threatened side to a European contender, finishing fourth last season and set to compete in the Champions League.

Villa, who won the European Cup in 1982, are gearing up for their European campaign with a trip to Young Boys in three days. They struggled against Everton but managed to secure the win thanks to Watkins, who ended an eight-game goal drought with his two strikes. Although he missed a chance to complete his hat-trick, Duran’s goal was a fitting match-winner.

With this victory, Villa climbed to third in the table, their only defeat coming against title contenders Arsenal. In contrast, Everton remains at the bottom of the table after four losses, a feat not seen in 66 years.

Everton appeared poised to earn their first points of the season with McNeil and Calvert-Lewin scoring, but defensive vulnerabilities resurfaced. Dyche’s typically solid defenses have conceded 13 goals in four games this season, and the team faces a crucial clash against promoted Leicester next weekend.

Despite scoring twice away from home for the first time since December, Everton’s road woes continue, and they will need to address their issues quickly to avoid a prolonged struggle.

Fulham 1-1 West Ham United

Fulham 1-1 West Ham United

Fulham 1-1 West Ham United. Danny Ings salvaged a 1-1 draw for West Ham with a dramatic goal in stoppage time against Fulham at Craven Cottage.

Introduced by manager Julen Lopetegui in the 82nd minute, Ings delivered with a crucial finish in the dying moments. West Ham captain Jarrod Bowen delivered a precise pass into the box, allowing Ings to take a touch and then fire past Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno.

Fulham nearly regained the lead immediately when Calvin Bassey missed a free header from close range, putting the ball wide of the post.

Raul Jimenez had given Fulham the lead in the 24th minute with a composed first-time finish from eight yards out. Emile Smith Rowe played a key role in the goal, making a perfectly timed run beyond the West Ham defense and delivering a precise pass to Jimenez.

Fulham felt they should have been awarded a penalty earlier in the match when Max Kilman challenged Adama Traore, but referee Tim Robinson deemed the challenge fair.

At halftime, Lopetegui made changes after his side failed to record a shot on goal in the first half. The introduction of Lucas Paqueta and Crysencio Summerville added attacking energy, and West Ham eventually managed to breach Fulham’s defense.

Bowen had a chance to score but his effort was thwarted by Leno’s outstretched leg. Despite a rocky start to Lopetegui’s tenure—marked by one win, one draw, and two defeats—there were positive signs, especially with Ings’ late equalizer showing the team’s resilience.

Lopetegui’s tactical changes were evident as Bowen shifted to a central role in the second half, showcasing his influence on the game and earning an assist.

Following Manchester City’s 3-1 win at the London Stadium before the international break, Pep Guardiola had expressed confidence in Lopetegui’s potential to succeed. The late equalizer could be seen as a step towards proving Guardiola right.

Fulham’s £27 million acquisition of Emile Smith Rowe from Arsenal this summer had initially raised eyebrows. The 24-year-old made an immediate impact by opening his Fulham account before the international break and adding an assist in this match.

Smith Rowe’s intelligent run and precise assist for Jimenez’s goal demonstrated his value to Marco Silva’s side. His powerful shot, which struck Jimenez, could have been his second goal for Fulham. The fans showed their appreciation for Smith Rowe with applause when he was substituted, recognizing the quality he brings to the team.

Brighton 0-0 Ipswich Town

Brighton 0-0 Ipswich Town

Brighton 0-0 Ipswich Town. Unbeaten Brighton were left frustrated after being held to a goalless draw by Ipswich at the Amex Stadium.

Despite dominating possession, Brighton struggled to create clear-cut chances, with the visitors coming closest to snatching a victory on the south coast.

Brighton started the match with patience, moving the ball around and waiting for the right moment to increase the tempo. Carlos Baleba had the first notable effort, showcasing his footwork on the edge of the box before hitting a low shot that Ipswich goalkeeper Arijanet Muric expertly saved.

The early stages saw few opportunities, but Brighton picked up the pace as the half progressed, putting pressure on Ipswich, particularly through the efforts of Minteh. Several promising attacks broke down at crucial moments, and when openings did arise, Rutter and Mitoma were both thwarted by Muric.

The second half began with a quicker tempo. Danny Welbeck curled a free-kick just wide, and Rutter fired another shot off target, but Ipswich’s defense remained resolute. Liam Delap’s chance at the other end briefly disrupted Brighton’s momentum.

In the closing stages, Brighton had several shots blocked but struggled to create significant chances, much to their disappointment.

Ipswich’s resilience was commendable. Despite some impressive football in the Championship under Kieran McKenna, Ipswich’s performance in this match was more about defense than flair. They failed to register a shot in the first half but defended strongly against a Brighton side known for their skillful play.

Ipswich limited Brighton to just two major chances, both in the same sequence, and Muric made saves he would expect to make. After weathering the storm before the break, Ipswich gained confidence from a chance by Delap early in the second half. Delap’s solo run resulted in a fierce shot that hit the post.

Brighton continued to dominate possession, with their closest effort coming 10 minutes before halftime. Georginio Rutter capitalized on Yankuba Minteh’s pass to create space in the box but saw his shot saved by Muric. The rebound fell to Kaoru Mitoma, who looked set to score, but Muric again made a crucial save.

Brighton pressed for a decisive goal, with Evan Ferguson curling a shot narrowly wide late on, but the breakthrough eluded them.

Brighton remain unbeaten with two wins and two draws from their first four games, while Ipswich continue their search for their first Premier League win since their return. This draw could prove valuable for Ipswich as the season progresses.

Manchester City 2-1 Brentford

Manchester City 2-1 Brentford

Manchester City 2-1 Brentford. Erling Haaland scored twice to extend his Premier League tally to nine goals as Manchester City overcame a quick deficit to secure a 2-1 victory over Brentford and maintain their perfect start to the season.

Brentford’s Yoane Wissa stunned the hosts by scoring the quickest top-flight goal of the season, heading into an open net just 23 seconds in. The goal came after a rare mix-up between John Stones and Ederson, who failed to clear Keane Lewis-Potter’s header.

City’s response was swift and decisive. Haaland, who was playing despite the recent loss of a close family friend, leveled the score by tapping in a loose ball after Kevin de Bruyne was tackled inside the Brentford penalty area.

The Norwegian forward struck again before the break, muscling past Ethan Pinnock to connect with a long ball from Ederson. This put him tantalizingly close to becoming only the fifth player in English top-flight history—and the first since 1946—to score three consecutive hat-tricks.

Haaland’s quest for a third goal was nearly fulfilled. Brentford keeper Mark Flekken made a crucial save, tipping one of Haaland’s efforts over the bar. Haaland also hit the post with a first-time shot and couldn’t quite power the rebound into the net.

Despite the crowd’s support, his father Alfie watching from the stands, and Pep Guardiola’s decision to keep Haaland on the pitch ahead of Manchester City’s Champions League clash with Inter Milan, the striker had to settle for two goals.

In injury time, Haaland was named Man of the Match, bringing his City total to 99 goals in 103 appearances and maintaining a Premier League scoring rate of over one goal per game. To put this into perspective, legendary striker Sergio Aguero took 390 games to score his club record 260 goals. At Haaland’s current pace, he could surpass Aguero within three seasons.

Haaland’s ability to score from almost nothing was crucial for City, especially on a day when they needed his decisive intervention to secure the win. While new signing Savinho showed promise, he was unable to convert his chances.

There were other notable performances, too. Jack Grealish demonstrated signs of returning to form with a smart shot that required a full-length save from Flekken. Rodri made his seasonal debut as a second-half substitute, although Phil Foden remained on the bench.

In a week marked by personal sorrow for Haaland, his contributions were particularly poignant and fitting.

Who doesn’t love a good old-fashioned creamy potato salad recipe arriving on the table at a barbecue? We think the creaminess is key to the success of this recipe. Although you can use mayonnaise, yoghurt or sour cream as your potato salad dressing (or any combo) we can’t look past good ol’ mayo. We’ve added a bit of vinegar too, to give it a bit of acidity.

Best-ever potato salad ingredients

  • Boiled egg: I think a boiled-egg-topped potato salad recipe is the ultimate Aussie side dish: it’s easy, creamy and always a crowd-pleaser. Boiled eggs bring protein and moreish flavour to this classic side.

  • Gherkins: crispy, juicy and green, this sweet and sour ingredient packs a powerful punch and is a pleasant surprise in this much-loved recipe. And, spring onions also bring a little extra greenery to the plate.

What’s in a potato salad?

Though potato salad recipes vary, the one ingredient that you’ll always find in a potato salad is boiled potatoes (skin on or off). Although our best potato salad recipe features bacon, onion, egg and gherkins (or dill pickles), others contain chives, celery, capers or herbs. This dressing for this incredibly good potato salad is made from mayonnaise, but other potato salad recipes start with a yoghurt or sour cream base and include Dijon mustard (we use apple cider vinegar instead of Dijon mustard for tang in our potato salad recipe and mayo instead of a sour cream mixture). Some even use orange juice instead. If you don’t have green onions or spring onions, you could try adding red onion to your potato salad recipe.

Potato salad with sour cream dressing

Some people prefer the sourness of this great potato salad. And our members also highly recommend this recipe, with a little bit of horseradish thrown into the sour cream mixture for extra flavour and a creamy dressing.

Southampton 0-3 Manchester United

Southampton 0-3 Manchester United

Southampton 0-3 Manchester United. Matthijs de Ligt marked his debut goal for Manchester United as they secured a vital Premier League victory against Southampton. The win was a significant turnaround for Erik ten Hag’s team, who had struggled with back-to-back defeats prior to the international break.

Manchester United’s morale was low after a heavy defeat to Liverpool before the break, making their performance against Southampton crucial. Despite a challenging start, a pivotal moment came when Manchester United’s goalkeeper, Andre Onana, saved a penalty from Cameron Archer. This save proved to be a game-changer, setting the stage for the Red Devils to take control.

De Ligt scored the opening goal with a precise header into the bottom corner, courtesy of a superb delivery from Bruno Fernandes. Just six minutes later, Marcus Rashford extended the lead with his first goal of the season, guiding a low shot through a crowded area into the net.

The quick succession of goals dampened Southampton’s spirits, and Manchester United managed the game comfortably in the second half. Southampton’s troubles were compounded late in the match when Jack Stephens received a red card for a reckless tackle on Alejandro Garnacho. Garnacho then sealed the win for Manchester United with a powerful finish into the top corner during stoppage time.

Manchester United’s triumph offered a welcome relief following the disappointment of their FA Cup final victory over Manchester City, quickly overshadowed by their 3-0 loss to Liverpool. The defeat had put manager Erik ten Hag under scrutiny.

Casemiro, who had a tough outing against Liverpool, was left on the bench for this game, and it seemed initially that the international break had not provided the hoped-for reset. The team struggled for the first half hour but turned the tide following Onana’s penalty save.

Southampton, despite their promising start and slick play, were unable to capitalize on their chances. Diogo Dalot’s foul on Tyler Dibling led to the penalty missed by Archer, which allowed Manchester United to seize control.

Though the win provided Manchester United with a clean sheet and three valuable points, there is still work needed to resolve ongoing issues. For Southampton, the defeat continues their winless start to the season, leaving them yet to secure their first points. Manager Russell Martin remains committed to the attractive football that earned them promotion from the Championship, but the failure to finish opportunities has proven costly.

A bright spot for Southampton was the performance of 18-year-old Tyler Dibling, who made his debut and was a constant threat to Manchester United’s defense in the first half.
