Michelle Obama and Lin-Manuel Miranda are set to appear on NBC’s “Roll Up Your Sleeves” vaccination special, which will air April 18 at 7 p.m.

The special is designed to educate audiences on the importance of getting vaccinated and will also feature Matthew McConaughey interviewing Dr. Anthony Fauci, comedy acts, real-life stories and heartwarming surprises.

“The ability to get people back to work and kids back in school, getting us reunited with family and friends and attending concerts, sporting events and many other activities we hold dear is contingent upon people getting vaccinated,” said Matthew Segal, the co-founder of Attn, which created the special in partnership with Walgreens and Civic Nation.

Alongside Segal, Valerie Jarrett, Tom Werner, Jarrett Moreno, Taye Shuayb, Jessie Surovell, Mike Vainisi, Audrey Morrissey, Ivan Dudynsky and Chad Hines serve as executive producers on the special.

It’s kind of interesting to see Johnny Depp in a movie like this. Years ago, the A-lister would take risks in smaller fare, playing oddball characters in simple character studies. However, it has been a long time since Depp has popped up in something of that sort. So, this week’s release of The Professor marks a return to the past for the man. Unfortunately, it’s also an incredibly forgettable work with little to offer. Pleasant enough to watch, it disappears from your memory as soon as the end credits roll. What’s worse, despite giving Depp a prime opportunity to go all out, he plays it oddly low key, opting for minor drunkenness over something more extreme and, frankly, interesting. The film (formerly known as Richard Says Goodbye) is a dramedy about how a college professor deals with a cancer diagnosis. When Richard (Depp) is told he has a terminal illness,...

"Are you alright?" "Well... no." Saban Films has debuted the official trailer for an indie drama titled The Professor, the second feature from writer/director Wayne Roberts (Katie Says Goodbye). Johnny Depp stars in this as a world-weary college professor diagnosed with a terminal illness who throws caution to the wind and indulges in numerous vices while attempting to live his life to the fullest. It's described as a dark comedy and has an impressive ensemble cast with Rosemarie DeWitt, Ron Livingston, Zoey Deutch, Danny Huston, Justine Warrington, Siobhan Fallon Hogan, Kaitlyn Bernard, Odessa Young, and Matreya Scarrwener. This seems like an odd role for Depp to take, but he's been staying out of the spotlight anyway, so why not an indie film. Just doesn't look that great. Here's the first official trailer for Wayne Roberts' The Professor, direct from YouTube (via People): Johnny Depp delivers a wickedly funny performance as Richard,...

Johnny Depp is grabbing life head-on in his new movie.

In a People exclusive look at the first trailer for The Professor, Depp stars as Richard, a college professor faced with a cancer diagnosis that leaves him with just six months to live.

Richard breaks the news to his loved ones, and also adopts a new outlook on life — one that affects his teaching methods.

“My name is Richard. I’m your professor. From here on out we’re going to do things very differently,” he says as he introduces himself to his class. “Oh, and if any of you sell marijuana,...
