Scandal | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

Rebooting classic television shows is a big thing these days, but don’t expect to ever see Kerry Washington back on the small screen as Olivia Pope.

Series creator Shonda Rhimes says that she will never give Scandal a revival season.

The hit ABC series came to an end last night and she assured fans at a live event the night of the finale that the show is over.

“Scandal is finished,” Shonda said (via Variety). “I love everybody and would work with everybody again in a heartbeat, but Scandal is finished.”

Josh Malina, who played David Rosen on the hit show Scandal, is known to be the prankster in the cast and he was just the victim of a hilarious prank thanks to Jimmy Kimmel!

Katie Lowes teamed up with Jimmy to pull off a prank on Josh, which aired on Jimmy Kimmel Live after the show’s series finale.

Josh thought that he and Katie were going to visit some massive Scandal fans while they watched an episode, but what he didn’t know was that the family was actually just three actors. When they walked into the house, Josh set off a confetti canon and the elderly woman in the family appeared to have a heart attack on the couch.

While a production assistant pretended to call 911, Josh got next to “mama” and tried to comfort her while she appeared to be in distress. When the paramedics arrived, he discovered it was a prank as the paramedics were actually Jimmy and his sidekick Guillermo!

Kerry Washington walks the carpet while attending the live stage reading of the Scandal series finale on Thursday (April 19) at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood.

The series finale of the hit ABC show Scandal will be airing TONIGHT (April 19) and a bunch of photos from the episode have already been released.

Kerry Washington stars on the show as Olivia Pope and she is back in the character’s famous white coat for the finale.

Kerry recently opened up about what fans can expect from the finale.

“I think that the way the show ends is the way it should be ending. The last episode will make you laugh,” she told ABC News. “It will make you cry. It will shock you a little bit. It will inspire you a little bit. It will make you think. It’ll make you feel. We’re really ending in the way that we’ve lived.”

Tune in for the Scandal finale at 10/9c on ABC.

Shonda Rhimes is one of the most powerful producers working in television today, but when she pitched Scandal to ABC, the network didn’t seem to have full confidence in the show.

Shonda at the time had a huge hit on ABC with Grey’s Anatomy, but the network only gave Scandal a seven-episode first season instead of a full-season order.

“As somebody who had made a gigantic hit for a network, a hit that 14 seasons later, it is still a hit, to be given only seven episodes of a show that I made was a problem… To me it spoke to a lack of faith in the idea that a black woman could be the lead of a television show. And I found that to be insulting,” Shonda shared in a new interview with BuzzFeed.

Scandal will be coming to a close TONIGHT (April 19) at 10/9c. Make sure to watch the series finale live!

In other Shonda news, she is a big fan of the Apple Watch and wore the sleek accessory alongside Kerry Washington in a new Instagram photo that she posted this week.
