A tabloid TV fixture of the 1980s and ’90s, the Brooklyn-born journalist is perhaps best remembered for stunt specials such as The Mystery of Al Capone’s Vaults (they were empty) and Devil Worship: Exposing Satan’s Underground. He joined Fox News as a war correspondent in 2001, a gig that had him reporting from the front lines of Afghanistan, and then moved on to dodging cross fire of a different kind as one of the rotating cohosts of the panel show The Five. Rivera just left the network in June.

The longtime Broadway favorite picked up a Tony Award for the two-part Tom Stoppard epic The Coast of Utopia, and he’s been stealing scenes in films such as Almost Famous and Big Fish for decades. Crudup has brought his talents to prestige television, winning an Emmy for his role as network CEO Cory Ellison on The Morning Show and starring this year on Hello Tomorrow!, a retro-futuristic series about a salesman hawking timeshares on the moon.

Known for her prominent lips and her sassy catchphrase (“Own it, baby!”), the actress honed her skills as a drama queen on soap operas of both the daytime (Days of Our Lives) and prime-time varieties (Melrose Place) before becoming a controversial member of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills franchise. The “Bravolebrity” announced her exit from the series in January after eight seasons, and she’s called life post-Housewives “absolute heaven.”
