Your support helps us to tell the story

My recent work focusing on Latino voters in Arizona has shown me how crucial independent journalism is in giving voice to underrepresented communities.

Your support is what allows us to tell these stories, bringing attention to the issues that are often overlooked. Without your contributions, these voices might not be heard.

Every dollar you give helps us continue to shine a light on these critical issues in the run up to the election and beyond

Jack Black is promoting a couple of films around the world right now, including both Goosebumps and Kung Fu Panda 3.

Being the good sport that he is, Black took part in the South Korea’s Infinite Challenge, a TV show in which celebrities are led through increasingly weird tasks while emoji pop up on screen.

Three clips from the show have emerged online, the first of which sees the Tenacious D singer imitate some Korean pop songs while the comedians guess which song it is, all in Korean (a language Black does not speak).

In a second task, Black races to blow out a candle with a stocking covering his head.

Then, in another task, Black competes with one of the comedians to see who can fit the most marshmallows in their mouth.

It’s all very, very weird but not the strangest thing you will ever see on a game show. One game show in Japan saw contestants have to sing karaoke while ‘being pleasured’.

Goosebumps is out in the UK 5 February.
