A new trailer for Tucker Carlson's documentary series began circulating online over the weekend, and with it came a wave of mockery from the Fox News host's critics who panned an episode which focuses on declining testosterone levels in men as being "homoerotic".

In the teaser for the episode "The End of Men", which has now received more than 6.6 million views on Twitter, Nikki McCann Ramirez, an associate research director at Media Matters, shares the video clip alongside the caption, "I promise you are not prepared for Tucker's latest montage".

The 49-second clip showcases a montage of shirtless men wrestling, chopping wood, drinking beer, shooting guns and even a shot that includes a fully nude man standing in what appears to be a field with his arms outstretched in a style evocative of Leonardo Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man but whose genitals remain strategically covered by what some online commentators joked was a Tesla charging station.

And as all these images are diced into the clip, a voice begins to narrate, "Once a society collapses then, you're in hard times," while the heart-pumping musical theme most commonly associated with 1968's 2001: A Space Odyssey begins to reach a crescendo.

"Well, hard iron sharpens iron as they say, and those hard times inevitably produce men who are tough, men who are resourceful, men who are strong enough to survive," the narrator's voice continues. "They go on to re-establish order, and so the cycle begins again."

The content of the episode, which is part of the Fox host's second season of the documentary series, was described by Carlson in a separate promo as addressing "one of the biggest stories of our lifetimes … the total collapse of testosterone levels in American men".

"We think it is a huge deal. So we want to know what's causing it and what you can do about it," he said.

One of the purported suggestions that the Fox News host included in this documentary episode, which has separately been mocked by rivals online, is a segment in which he interviews a fitness professional who advocates for "testicle tanning", in which the full body is treated with "red light therapy" to allegedly raise testosterone levels.

"So obviously, half the viewers are now like, what? Testicle tanning? That's crazy," Carlson interjects after Andrew McGovern, the interviewee, explains the controversial therapy. "But my view is, okay, testosterone levels [have crashed] and nobody says anything about it. That's crazy. So why is it crazy to seek solutions?"

Republican Representative Adam Kinzinger, a frequent critic of the Fox News host who last month declared he would never appear on his program after describing it as being "full of Russian propaganda and not news", saw the clip as an opportunity to again take Carlson to task over his pro-Putin sentiments.

"This is actually real. Evidently, he likes men without shirts, which may explain the Putin obsession," the Illinois Republican wrote Sunday.

Others used the steamy video with what they viewed as being homoerotic in nature as an opportunity to call out recent laws passed in right-leaning states, namely Florida's so-called "Don't Say Gay" bill, which prohibits the discussion of sexual orientation or gender identity in the classroom for primary grade levels.

"Tucker would get arrested if he showed this video in a Florida classroom," wrote The Daily Beast writer Justin Baragona.

Star Trek actor George Takei, who is among some of the celebrities who have spoken out against Florida's controversial Parents Rights in Education bill, which was signed into law on 28 March, commented on the viral teaser, captioning his response with a short and simple: "This is so gay."

Red light therapy (RLT) has been reported to help in treating wrinkles, redness, acne scars and other signs of ageing, said the Cleveland Clinic, a non-profit academic medical centre that is considered a leader in research, education and health information.

But the experts the centre spoke with were cautious about the promises that have been made in preliminary studies, noting that they "don't know yet if RLT is effective for all its claimed uses".

"Most [experts] say that the studies published so far show some potential for certain conditions, but that more studies need to be conducted. Red light therapy is still an emerging treatment that's generating growing interest. But at this point in time, there's not enough evidence to support most uses," the clinic concluded.

NEED TO KNOW

• Leah Barrs, a nanny for the rich and famous, once slept with the dad of a kid for whom she was working as a nanny

• The controversial secret is revealed on the Hulu reality show Million Dollar Nanny, streaming now

• In an interview, Barrs tells PEOPLE why she doesn't "regret" the move

Celebrity nanny Leah Barrs once slept with one of her clients — but she is taking accountability for the move.

Barrs, as well as seven other young nannies, are the stars of the new Hulu reality series Million Dollar Nanny. The show's eight episodes, streaming now, follow Barrs as she recruits her peers to start a nannying agency in Ibiza for some of the wealthiest families on the island.

But early on in their summer abroad, Barrs, 31, confides in fellow nanny Olivia McMahon, 22, that she once slept with the dad of a kid for whom she was working as a nanny. The secret spreads to the rest of the group — and even to some of their network of VIP clientele in Ibiza, costing Barrs one of her nannying gigs that summer.

Near the end of the season, many in the group feel that her past actions threaten the reputation of the rest, and they vote to replace her with Jack McCann, 22, as the face of their agency.

In an interview with PEOPLE, Barrs opens up about her on-camera confession and whether she has any regrets.

"I was young — I was 22 at the time," says the nanny. "And I shouldn't have done that."

Barrs says that she considered the father a "friend" before she had been hired to be his nanny and maintains that he was a single father when they slept together. Still, she acknowledges, "I was working for him that night, so I shouldn't have crossed that line."

"It was something I regret doing," she adds, before taking it back. "I guess I don't regret it because you learn from your mistakes, but I'm not that person today."

Barrs also acknowledges that she never intended for her secret to spread as far as it did when she told McMahon in confidence — even though the whole conversation was captured on room cameras for the reality series.

Prince William is being called out, and this time the criticism is coming from inside royal circles.

A new report has reignited debate about the future King's approach to royal duty after questions were raised about how often he has been carrying out public engagements compared to other senior members of the Royal Family.

Prince William has been focusing on family life and projects behind the scenes, but the mounting pressure on his workload is reigniting the debate about whether or not he is doing enough to prepare for the throne.

Prince William's Royal Workload Comes Under Fresh Scrutiny

The future King is facing renewed criticism after figures highlighted by royal author Norman Baker show a significant gap between his royal workload and that of other senior royals.

According to the publication, the Prince of Wales carried out 57 official engagements between January 1 and June 15 this year, compared to King Charles III's 76 and Princess Anne's 100.

The gap has led to accusations that the future King isn't doing enough to serve the public, especially as heir to the throne. The Daily Mail also pointed to his 2024 figures: King Charles' eldest son had completed 166 engagements, while it was reported that Princess Anne had done 474 and King Charles had done 372.

The debate has been further intensified by his absence from several high-profile royal events. This has caused people to ask if he can strike a right balance. 

The Future King Accused Of Prioritizing Private Interests Over Public Duties

While supporters argue that the King's eldest son has chosen a more modern royal lifestyle, critics say the reduced public schedule doesn't tell the whole story.

According to The Daily Mail, Norman Baker claimed the Prince is still very active in running the Duchy of Cornwall, contacting staff regularly and keeping an eye on its workings.

Baker argued that although the Prince often places family commitments ahead of royal appearances, he appears far more engaged when it comes to overseeing the duchy's affairs.

The royal author also claimed that one of William's early priorities after inheriting the estate was establishing an investment committee aimed at boosting its profitability.

This criticism arose with some observers questioning whether his focus on fewer engagements is an indication of a new normal for the royal family or a reluctance to do things the traditional way.

Inside Prince William's Private Life Away From The Palace

Questions remain regarding his public schedule; the royal is also drawing some attention for how he's spending his time off royal responsibilities. The future King is reported to have a small group of close friends and loves love-ins, football outings, and private get-togethers outside of the limelight.

The Blast reported that the future King recently traveled to Istanbul with friends to watch Aston Villa. Insiders also described his friendship circle as highly selective, with royal matters often left out of conversations during their time together.

The report further claimed that the heir's preference for an ordinary life is influenced by both Princess Diana and the Middleton family. Despite increasing royal responsibilities, sources say he remains committed to preserving that private support system.

Royal Rift Shows No Sign Of Easing

The arrival of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in the UK has sparked hopes that the Royal Family might reconcile, but the feud hasn't yet been cleared up.

As reported by The Blast, following their public interviews and documentaries and Harry's memoir Spare, royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams said that the monarch-in-waiting is "deeply betrayed" by Harry and Meghan.

Despite King Charles being reportedly more open to reconciling with his brothers, the biggest challenge is trust," Fitzwilliams said.

Reports have also suggested that the Prince is unhappy with efforts to accommodate the Sussexes' visit, underscoring just how deep the divide within the family remains.

Prince William And King Charles Reportedly Remain Divided Over Harry's Future In The Royal Family

Prince William and King Charles are apparently seen to have different opinions on Prince Harry's future in the Royal Family, despite an apparent attempt to mend the differences. While the King is said to be more willing to reconcile, William isn't.

As reported by The Blast, sources claim the future King has little interest in rebuilding trust anytime soon. He continues to view Harry and Meghan's actions since stepping back from royal duties as deeply damaging to the institution.

With Prince William reported to be standing firm, and King Charles calling for peace, this split opens up a bigger question: what will it be like when the crown passes to Prince William in the future? If such a split exists?

Starting on Monday night, late-night TV will lose another prominent voice as Jimmy Kimmel steps away from his ABC show. But thankfully, the disruption at Jimmy Kimmel Live! won't be a permanent one. Instead, it's something fans should have seen coming.

Late-night TV feels like it is only just now getting over the departure of Stephen Colbert and The Late Show on CBS. And despite still being under contract and a network in his corner against the FCC, Kimmel doesn't feel like he's a guarantee to stay on the air long-term.

Unfortunately, fans will get a sense of what a post-Kimmel and Colbert late-night world looks like beginning Monday, June 22. ABC plans to air a week of repeat episodes, which will then lead into Kimmel's annual two-month summer hiatus. The comedian signed off on June 18, acknowledging the break was scheduled as part of a deal he worked out with ABC years ago.

Kimmel hasn't been on the air during the summer months dating back to 2020. He usually returns just after Labor Day, giving fans an idea of when to expect his return to the air waves. At least this time, it's a voluntary departure and not one mandated by the network or pushed by broadcasters.

The silver lining, of course, is that Jimmy Kimmel Live! won't be taking the summer off. As has been the tradition, a roster of celebrities will fill-in for Kimmel during his much-deserved break away from late-night TV.

It all starts on July 6 when Tiffany Haddish gets behind the desk for a week of hosting duties. The comedian and actress has done it before. And it's fitting, as one of Haddish's breakout moments came when she delivered an all-time story as a guest on Kimmel's show years ago.

Other announced guest hosts include Colman Domingo, Ike Barinholtz, Anthony Anderson, and Jelly Roll. Last week, Kimmel also revealed that he asked Rosie O'Donnell to host the show in his absence. The invitation also came as another way for Kimmel to get under the skin of President Donald Trump, who has a longstanding feud with O'Donnell.

During the two weeks of repeats, late-night TV fans will have to rely on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Late Night with Seth Meyers to get their nightly comedy fix. And while those two hosts are more than capable of carrying the extra load, it could reopen the wound of Colbert's departure.

Jimmy Kimmel Live! airs at 11:35 p.m. ET on ABC. Episodes stream the next day on Hulu.
