tirade. >> we do support change, but not at the expense of family run legacy businesses. >> it's very much like forever california, where they bought up every single farm and wanted to have their way with solano county. >> so is it a plan to build a better bay area or to oust longtime businesses for some unknown promise? good afternoon. thanks for joining us. i'm larry beil. >> and i'm stephanie sierra. several legacy businesses in san francisco's fillmore district say they're being pushed out after decades in the neighborhood. now, this comes after a billionaire venture capitalist recently bought up several buildings in the area and decided not to extend their leases. >> abc seven news reporter tim johns here now live in studio with the details. hi, tim. >> yeah, larry. stephanie. over the past several months, venture capitalist neil mehta has funded the purchase of multiple buildings along fillmore street. since then, a handful of businesses say they've been told they have to vacate their properties once their leases are over. they tell me the option of

renewing was never really a possibility. walk down fillmore street in the heart of san francisco and you'll be greeted by several familiar businesses, some of which have been here for decades. but that may soon be changing. since the start of the year, a billionaire venture capitalist has bought several of the buildings in this area, and many of these business owners say they're being forced to leave. >> we're scared. we don't want to. we don't want to lose everything. >> steve amano is the co-owner of tanishi, a sushi bar that was opened by his japanese immigrant parents back in 1978. amano feels they're being strong. armed into closing next month. >> i signed that termination agreement because of, you know, they were we were they were saying things about, you know, we're we're going to charge you this and, you know, all these numbers that they were firing at us like, we have, we'd have to pay. we're like, oh, that that was freaking us out. >> like across the street at la mediterranee, van der bedrossian also shared his story. his restaurant was opened by his father, a lebanese immigrant, around the same time as taniguchi. their lease isn't up until may, but der bedrosian says the new landlord has shown

no interest in negotiating a new lease. >> we have 20 plus employees who work here. we have a very strong following here in the community and we want to have clarity about our future. the buildings that both taniguchi and la mediterranee operate out of have been bought by entities connected to venture capitalist neil meta. >> meta could not be reached for comment, but one of his business associates, nightlife entrepreneur cody allen, sent us this statement. our investment in upper fillmore has been made on behalf of our nonprofit sf reserve foundation, with the objective of bringing in more small businesses rather than introducing chain or formula retail tenants. our foundation's aim is to bring in an even wider variety of food and beverage operators to revitalize the iconic clay theater and to restore fillmore storefronts. on monday, supervisor and mayoral candidate aaron peskin held a news conference on fillmore street. peskin announcing a plan to introduce legislation making it harder to kick out legacy

businesses. >> it's important for the family, in this case a multi-generation family, that has been here for literally almost a half a century. it is important for the community that sees this as a gathering space. it's important to the fabric of a neighborhood. >> welcome news for people like steve amano, who says while he's trying to find a new location for taniguchi, he doesn't know what will come next. >> i mean, we have no option. there's no other option. you know? but we're not going to lay down like i can't. like, we have to keep working. >> now, nori, to help with the potential move. amano says he has set up a gofundme page. he tells me he and his family have been extremely touched by the outpouring of support from the community. in the studio, tim johns, abc seven news. >> all right, tim, thank you. in the east bay now, a tiktok video has led to an investigation into a 20 year veteran of the alameda county fire department who was accused of using a racial slur. >> such behavior is not representative of who we are or

the department or our values. we strive to embody every day. >> the viral tiktok video allegedly shows the firefighter, who was off duty at the time, making a racist comment during a road rage incident, and we spoke to the other driver involved. i'd like to say, you know, we get respected. >> i mean, everybody gets respected, not just browns, blacks, whites, yellow, purple. it doesn't it doesn't matter. you know, we all need to get respected. and, we we're living together. >> the fire chief says the department is taking steps to improve their relationship with the community by doing outreach and having members undergo sensitivity training. adding disciplinary action will be taken against the firefighter pending the outcome of an investigation. and the president of the firefighters union issued a response to the investigation, saying in part, quote, we are deeply troubled by the remarks made in the video. the comments made are contrary to our mission to serve all members of our community. the union says it

will fully cooperate with the investigation. >> now to your voice, your vote and new information in the contentious race for the 16th congressional district seat, a federal election commission complaint has been filed against candidate evan lowe, accusing him of not reporting in-kind contributions. >> and abc seven news south bay reporter zach fuentes joins us live now with more on the accusations, as well as the reaction. zach >> yeah, the person who filed the complaint is the former fec chair and also an endorser of lowe's opponent, sam liccardo. now, lowe's campaign says liccardo is using his supporters to make false accusations. but the former fec chair tells me that her support of liccardo has nothing to do with the complain. heightened tensions in one of the most watched political campaigns, the race for the district 16 congressional seat between sam liccardo and evan lowe. now this weekend and raval, the former federal election commission chair, has filed an fec complaint against evan lowe. someone in the campaign of sam liccardo asked

me if i would take a look at what had happened. the complaint alleges that lowe's campaign did not disclose that it used the nonprofit's email list and email server as an in-kind contribution. an example given in the complaint shows an email sent in february with a link that directed users to a page hosted by nonprofit stand with asian americans. though raval is listed as an endorser on liccardo's website and acknowledged it, she said the complaint is not about that. >> my rationale for this has nothing to do with sam liccardo and my support of him, or any feeling particularly about evan lowe. what i care about is democratic process. >> lowe's campaign sent a statement saying sam liccardo is once again deploying his supporters to make false accusations against our campaign and distract his own shady conduct. this is simply a case of a volunteer working in their personal capacity using the

wrong hyperlink. the email list was purchased from the county registrar and reported by the campaign liccardo's campaign issued a statement saying in part, quote, evan lowe will do anything to further his political career. the statement went on to bring up other allegations against lowe and say, quote, it's gotten so bad. barack obama's former fec chair is now calling him out. this all comes months after multiple candidates ran in the primary race for district 16. sam liccardo won first place by a wide margin. initially, evan lowe and joe simitian won second place in a tie until a recount request was made. that request was made by a former staffer on liccardo's 2014 san jose mayoral campaign. liccardo's team did not claim a current association with that staffer. two fec complaints were filed against liccardo in the aftermath. as for the complaint against lowe, raval said she's leaving what happens next to the fec? they're the ones who will have to investigate this, not me. now, we have also heard from the nonprofit in the middle of this stand with asian americans. they

sent us an email that said in part, it is strictly a strictly nonpartisan organization. it did not provide email lists to the lowe campaign, and that it's against its policies to share subscriber information to external entities. right now in the south bay bureau, zach fuentes, abc news. abc seven news. >> thank you. zach. one measure that really has people divided is proposition 36. and that would increase sentences for certain drug and theft crimes and people against prop 36 say that would just lead to mass incarceration. >> but some san mateo county supporters believe it would bring big benefits. here's abc seven news south bay reporter dustin dorsey. >> elizabeth walker lives with the pain every day of losing her 17 year old son, collin, to fentanyl laced cocaine. she hopes prop, 36, would make it so no other parents will have to feel the same loss. >> my son was murdered. someone put poisoning into what he should not have been taking. but if you are an alcoholic and went into a bar, you shouldn't be ordering a drink. but do you

deserve to die because someone puts poisoning in your drink? absolutely not. >> prop 36 proponents say it will help families like the walkers by enacting stricter penalties for drug dealers. if it were passed when collin died, the dealer could have faced murder charges due to his death. the proposition is seen as a reform to prop 47, which reduced hard drug possession and theft penalties by holding drug dealers and repeat retail and smash and grab thieves accountable. leaders in san mateo county are calling on their colleagues to support the measure by voting tomorrow to endorse proposition 36, the san mateo county board of supervisors can send a clear message that san mateo county board of supervisors join san francisco's mayor and san jose's mayor in supporting a brighter and safer future for this region. not everyone in san mateo county is on board with this call for support. >> however, i feel that the leadership needs to address the root causes of the problems. the cost of living in san mateo county, as well as in the state of california, rather than rather than incarcerating them.

>> we need to address it from a medical perspective, not from a jail perspective. >> no on 36 advocates say this takes california back to the failures of the 80s and 90s in the war on drugs. the anti-recidivism coalition chief executive officer sam lewis says it will cost california billions in prison fees when people should be given more opportunities to reform. >> instead, we're trying to find faster ways to lock people up and go back to mass incarceration. that's not going to work for us like we're criminalizing homelessness. we're criminalizing poverty. is that what america is about? is that what california is about? this has been a contentious issue in california, with many democratic leaders speaking against prop 36, including governor gavin newsom, who has criticized supporters. >> the san mateo county supervisors will vote on whether or not to endorse prop 36 at their meeting tuesday morning in san mateo county. dustin dorsey, abc seven news. >> now to the presidential race with former president donald trump on the campaign trail in michigan today, he spoke as part

of the conference for the national guard association of the united states. now, before that, he attended a wreath laying ceremony at arlington national cemetery. on the other side, vice president harris will be back on the campaign trail wednesday. bus tour through georgia. the harris and trump campaigns are also arguing about the rules of the next month's debate. right here on abc. the harris campaign is pushing for both candidates microphones to be on throughout the entire debate, and a social media post last night and at campaign events today. trump raised the possibility he may not show up. you can watch the abc news presidential debate tuesday, september 10th, right here on abc seven. our coverage starts at 5:00 and the debate begins at six. >> coming up on this edition of abc seven news at four, labor day weekend is just a few days away. that means a lot of cars on the road. we'll tell you what you can do to plan ahead. a grocery store where all the food is free and it's here in the bay

of crews pulling the bike out of the jefferson hotel on eddy street, and you see the bike was in a fire escape. so thankfully there was no major damage to the building. no one was injured either. under california law, tenants can only store electric bicycles in their apartments. if the batteries meet certain safety guidelines. california has a new tool to fight wildfires from the sky. this is pretty neat. a c-130 hercules air tanker. it's capable of carrying 4000 gallons of fire retardant. it's also the fastest and with the farthest range in the states. airborne fleet. cal fire is retrofitting seven c-130s to place throughout the state to make fire response faster. >> a san francisco school now has something that no other school in california has. that would be a free grocery store. the newly opened grocery store is inside mlk junior middle school in the bayview district. students and their families can

pick up milk, meat, fresh produce and other goods as well. the school's principal says the store will help kids who often go to school hungry, and that makes learning a lot more difficult. >> the students that are might leave class and they're out in the hallways. a lot of times they're looking for food. they're bouncing around class to class. you know, miss monterroso, do you have any milk? do you have any cereal? they're looking for food, right? and while they're doing that, they're missing out on class time. >> 70% of students at mlk get a free or reduced price lunch. the store is operated by goodr. it's a nonprofit with 12 similar stores nationwide. happening tonight in oakland, residents are invited to express their concerns about recent violence in the city at a town hall meeting, mayor shengtao and the police chief floyd mitchell are taking part in a series of town halls. the first one was on friday. this evening's town hall starts at 530 at saint john's episcopal church. tomorrow, another one at fremont high school. thursday will be at allen temple baptist church in deep east oakland, and on friday

in-depth responses, you can access chatgpt from open ai. and really, the reason why that's important is because it'll open it up to more people. think about all the people who have iphones, who maybe haven't used chatgpt, and now they'll have it baked right into their phone. >> we're also getting a sneak peek of apple's latest watch series, apple watch ten or x al. heidi says it will likely be thinner with bigger screens and have more health tracking capabilities. another neat thing on the iphone, they're going to have a button, a new camera button so you can take pictures with i already have a button. >> i know i was going to say, do you want to try it? another button, i don't know. >> there's going to be a lot of buttons. >> i'm already confused now you know what? >> i never have to ask siri about the weather. what's because we have an expert, righ? >> we don't. >> better than siri, better than siri, better than siri. >> thank you. you know what? normally steph and larry, i don't get that. i get let me just ask siri what the weather is doing and it's not from you. steph, let me show you a live picture right now from our

beaches, ten degrees warmer in santa rosa, up five in oakland, six in san jose, concord. that trend is going to continue. a beautiful view from pier 39 camera right now. tomorrow the summer sizzles with us. overnight tonight. fog near the coast and bay. and for your holiday weekend it's going to be cooling closer to average today. those temperatures are above average and that trend will carry over into the next couple of days. we go hour by hour at 515 tonight. still going to be warm inland if you want to get outside and enjoy the sun as we head towards 730 you will notice 60s coast side, but inland areas are still in the 80s and then by tomorrow morning the fog is around near parts of the coast and bay and it will start off on the comfortable side, but quickly warming up. it's going to be a summer day where you feel the warmth at noontime in the 80s, and by 3:00 you're already seeing those 90s inland topping out in the 100 seconds for our hot spots temperatures. first thing in the morning with the fog near the coast, and parts of the bay will be in the 50s and the 60s. tomorrow

afternoon. warm to hot one for most of you. 93 in san jose, 97 in gilroy and the south bay and on the peninsula, 85 in palo alto, 70 degrees in pacifica, downtown san francisco, 77 degrees. it's going to be a beautiful day in the north bay. low 90s from san rafael to novato. a good day to be at the beach. low to mid 70s. 95 santa rosa in the east bay 84 oakland 88 fremont. inland areas 98. concord 100. in brentwood. many of these temperatures a good 5 to 10 degrees above average. the accuweather seven day forecast. tomorrow is a day where we have the triple digit heat 60s coast side still hot inland on wednesday, but those temperatures do begin to back off. and as we head towards the end of the week into september, those temperatures will continue to drop off closer to average or a little bit below even especially towards sunday. steph and larry. >> so the hottest day tomorrow. >> tomorrow is the hottest day. >> that's right. all right. thank you. >> you don't need siri if you have sandy. >> it's not even close. >> and we came up with a new nickname. oh no. siri. sandhya.

is that typically, you know, a lot of times unpaid caregivers, you may be helping a family or a friend taking care of an older adult, and you may not be properly trained or you'd like to get trained up. and the benefit is you don't have to pay for these courses that you typically would be. groves really touches on diversity. we do know the average caregiver is a 47 year old female who is a minority. and we really want to make sure we're working with those communities and really supporting a lot of those caregivers. >> thousands of caregivers have transformed their lives through cal groves training programs. >> it's been very successful, and there definitely is an appetite from a lot of caregivers, both paid and unpaid caregivers, to take advantage of this. >> you can learn more about cal groves training programs by visiting cal groves.org. spencer christian, abc seven news. >> all right. gearing up for the

hit the road before 11 a.m. on thursday and friday. >> and for saturday departures, the roads will likely be most congested in the morning. >> a lot of people might want to leave first thing on saturday to maximize their weekend. saturday afternoon should be okay. >> heading home on sunday or monday. the morning will be the best time to drive. people can also expect lower gas prices compared to last year. >> the trend for gas prices is they're coming down and barring any major tropical storm or hurricane hitting the gulf coast and hitting regional refineries, we should still see that downward trend. >> and when abc news, washington. >> and as you're shopping, there's still lots of last minute labor day deals. but our travel expert says it's also a great time to think beyond the holiday. >> we're coming into what we call in the industry a shoulder season. >> it's between a peak and a low season, and it can be a really great time of the year to take advantage of better prices as well as temperate weather. you can go into europe for 535. that's over to milan from the

bay area. so you know there are great deals to be had, not less. people are traveling, but there are just more flights on the schedules about 5% more domestically. we're seeing versus last year. and even with so many people traveling, there's a discrepancy. so we're actually at the time period when there's been an oversupply of flights. and that's been great for a consumer and a pro tip, if you buy an airplane ticket and it later goes on sale, you can call the airline to match that price. >> this is a really long trip. was supposed to be a short tour to the international space station, has turned into an eight month ordeal. boeing's starliner astronauts. they're going to be in space until early next year, when they finally get to return home. abc news reporter andrew dymburt with the very latest liftoff of starliner and atlas five. >> it was a mission that was supposed to last eight days, but now two astronauts at the space station have been told their trip will last eight months. >> the decision to keep butch

and sonny aboard the international space station and bring the boeing starliner home uncrewed is the result of a commitment to safety. >> butch wilmore and suni williams launched to the space station in june on a boeing starliner test flight, but the starliner has been plagued by problems. so instead of using the troubled boeing capsule, nasa is turning to elon musk's spacex to send the astronauts home in february. while boeing believes its spacecraft would get the job done, the uncertainty was too much for nasa. >> this depends on how you evaluate the risk. we did it a little differently with our crew than boeing did. >> boeing employees tell the new york post the situation is humiliating, with one saying it's shameful. i'm embarrassed. i'm horrified. boeing saying in a statement. the company continues to focus first and foremost on the safety of the crew and spacecraft. the astronauts families, now reacting to the news that their loved ones won't be returning home for another six months. suni williams husband, referring to spacex, said it's her happy place, while butch wilmore's

do we actually grow plants without light and try to reduce and minimize the amount of light instead of sunlight? >> jinkerson has managed to grow tomatoes using acetate, a carbon based alternative energy source. you might notice the plant's unusual small size that's due to the work of doctor martha orozco cardenas, who runs the plant transformation research center at ucr. >> he was quite surprised about how small was the plant that i produced by genetically engineer her genetically engineered tomato is designed to produce fruit in small spaces, so it can be a food source for astronauts on the international space station. >> currently, the research is being evaluated at nasa's kennedy space center. the next phase in the research project will be taking seeds of tomato plants like these and sending them to space to see how they perform. >> astronauts are going to harvest the fruit, and then the seeds replant them and then grow another batch of tomatoes. and this will be the first seed to

seed to seed experiment in space. >> but tomatoes aren't the only thing on the menu. jinkerson and his team have developed a protein rich crop of mushrooms using the same technology. >> this is kind of probably one of the first applications for artificial photosynthesis for food production is to grow mushrooms. so we can feed the mushrooms with the acetate and then allow them to grow in space. >> the cosmic crops may 1st day provide astronauts the ability to extend their stay in space. in riverside. leticia juarez, abc seven news. >> all right. here's a talker. ignoring work emails may not just be an option anymore. and what may be a

oakland a's game, and it appears to me that if you were to draw up a plan to alienate every single fan in every possible city, they're right on track. >> yeah they are. they have really got this down. i mean, you know, and i heard a lot about it last week. i sang the anthem at the a's game at a 1237 game. it was, you know, a moderately attended, let's say that. but i heard from a number of people still very unhappy about this move, but they bought the tickets, they're showing up for the game. and some people showed up because they said, we don't have many more. they're making some interesting decisions and they're asking an awful lot of people in sacramento to commit to when that is not yet a local team there. yeah exactly. >> that two hour drive, hour 45 for all those fans to make the trip out. i mean, and then $20,000 for season tickets. i mean, that's a pretty penny. >> yeah. and you have to commit to three years. it's not just a year. >> i mean, usually john fisher waits till he gets to a place before he alienates people, but now he's got vegas and

sacramento and oakland and the list goes on and on. good luck. yeah absolutely. major leaguer, this is really fascinating. became the first person to play for two teams in the very same game. how does this happen? well danny jansen back in june played for the toronto blue jays. well that game against boston was suspended because of rain while he was at bat. so jansen was later traded to boston. right. so switching sides when the game resumed today, jansen was a catcher for the red sox while a toronto pinch hitter took his place at the plate. now they've been playing baseball, you know, since the early 1900s or before that. this had never, ever happened before. >> unreal. >> it's weird. it's like. it's like after the commercial break, one of us goes to work at another television station. it just. i mean, there are no other television stations. it's a strange thing. >> do i need to check my email now? i didn't say which hidden message there. i don't know. oh, gosh. >> but it's weird. i mean, and

obviously, since it's never happened before, it's very rare. but what a funny situation. i guess they ran into the locker room. they fitted him from some clothes. yeah, yeah. >> and then toronto lost. right. so they lost the game and didn't he hurt his wrist? >> that i'm not up on. >> i'm just there was some issue i guess that led up to it. but yeah. that's wild. >> injured already. >> yes. >> yes. yeah. no wonder they got rid of him. yeah. just a really unusual, in fact. unusual situation. >> that's a jeopardy question. >> never happened in the history of baseball before. >> yeah, well, good for him. now, to a deal that was too good to be true. hundreds of qantas customers bought first class tickets worth about $13,000. and get this, an 85% discount. but the airline says the offer was a coding error, and the airline can cancel sales when there's an obvious mistake like that. passengers will still get a deal only in business class, so not bad. but can you imagine being

that person saying 85% discount on a ticket? that price? i'd be all right. sign me up. >> absolutely. you know, there is that old saying, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. and, you know, you feel bad for those folks, but also the airline just made a mistake. yeah. yeah. >> but i wonder if they will actually if they get enough people complaining that they will actually go back and try to reach some sort of terms other than just the business class. >> i think they're going to give them a deal in business class. >> right? >> yeah, exactly. you know, they say read the fine print and it's in the fine print. but in california has an honest pricing law where it's the opposite. they're trying to protect consumers from false advertising. so you would get your money back, but in this case, you know, it's switched. so you're kind of you're out of luck. >> well yeah i mean i could see it from qantas perspective, but at some point i guess they have taken some responsibility because they're not just saying, well, these tickets are voided or whatever. at least you're getting something, you know, you're getting business class. and think about it. qantas does a lot of long haul flights, you

know, going from here to australia and beyond. so you want to be in a comfy seat if you're on one of those planes. >> exactly. and they're honoring it. yeah. all right. how would you like to ignore your boss if you're contacted during your off hours? >> never. >> i knew that was coming. >> never do that. yeah. >> a law went into effect today which lets australian workers ignore after work texts and phone calls unless their refusal could be considered unreasonable. the question is, what means unreasonable? the law is designed to eliminate work disruptions from personal lives. now the first right to disconnect law in the u.s. was actually introduced in california back in april. but it's now stalled in the state legislature. i remember this this was introduced by assembly member matt haney. >> right. in this country, they have a right to disconnect you from your job. if you do. >> and often do and often do, i know. but do you think this would be something that catches on around the world, or is it just like a down under thing?

>> i don't know. >> in europe, though, i mean, they have a lot of siestas. you know, they have shorter hours in europe. i could see that, you know, potentially moving around. >> i have mixed feelings about that. you know, guys, we work in a business that is technically 24 over seven. you know, if we're needed, you're needed. but. so i have mixed feelings that we certainly have. everybody has a right to be away from work sometimes. but i think common sense can prevail. and if you're needed, you know, if you're a professional at something, you're going to want to want to do your job, i would think. >> yeah. >> i mean, this is in effect in some countries in europe, but sandy, you would never disregard a text message from. >> not intentionally. larry. >> oh, i thought not. i thought you did that. there it is. >> there it is. look, the truth comes out. >> i thought you did that when you were at work, sandy. not just offering. >> i think what it is, is, you know, if you're not. i'm not one of those people that's, like, attached to my phone 24 over seven. i'm not constantly checking my phone. i'm just saying, you know. well interesting. >> you're wanted in the office

upstairs. >> i know, to be continued.

alright. what's the definition of character to you? umm... would you be a superhero or a supervillain? if you could say one thing to big tobacco, what would it be? it's so important in this time of change that we reclaim our sacred ways. i had to open my eyes. you can't continue to do this. deep breath. i'd want to ask them “why?” (♪) colorful method to do just that. >> in fact, it's a mixture of passion, planning and photography. abc seven news meteorologist drew tuma has a

look. >> when we first met ron howry, he was leading us up a trail at the coyote valley open space preserve. camera in hand. an avid photographer, haury is one of the participants in a photo contest sponsored by the santa clara valley open space authority, which manages the preserve. its goal to capture the magic of the open space through the eyes of its visitors. >> i bet a lot of people don't realize that there's a trail down there they can ride their bike on and walk and such, and, there's a lot to see down there. >> and what haury saw on one moonlit night was a bald eagle perched on a branch in front of the darkening sky. what happened next was a delicate combination of skill and a little luck. >> this bird was sitting in a tree, just next to the trail. also lucked out because the moon was out, so i kind of maneuvered. i got off my bike and it didn't fly away, which surprised me and i maneuvered

around until i get the moon and the bird both in the same shot. >> the shot was among a dozen winning photographs just unveiled at a community open house. >> it's amazing to see how how folks view and appreciate the landscape. >> jennifer peth is an associate open space planner for the authority. she says the photographs and the conversations they spark are helping with development of the coyote valley conservation area master plan. it's a conceptual blueprint for future access and improvements at an open space tucked just south of san jose in the shadow of silicon valley. >> you know, it'll be exciting to share those photos with the rest of the public, you know, and it's messaging that's not coming from us, but from the public, you know, from the from the visitors of coyote valley and how it speaks to them, how the landscape speaks to them

>> the photos are also being shown at upcoming public meetings as the authority gathers more public input and suggestions on how to make a majestic open space even more spectacular at coyote valley. drew tuma abc seven news. >> that coyote was staring deep into your eyes. >> i know, and i was backing up and it was just a photo. >> well, there's more to come on the photography front. yeah. >> organizers are asking attendees at the upcoming open houses to vote on the people's choice award for best overall photograph. that's going to be some competition because those pictures are great. expect some big stars. and yes, another murder on season four of only murders in the building. >> what we need is a hot, fresh, dead body. preferably right here or very near to here. >> and that's what you'll get. and more. a look ahead to the new season of only

11. steve martin, martin short, selena gomez. they're all back for season four of only murders in the building, trying to solve yet another deadly mystery. and this one hits really close to home. abc news reporter george pennacchio sat down with the three stars. so what's next, podcast wise, charles, you mentioned a cold case. >> oh, please, if it was interesting, would be cold. >> now what we need is a hot, fresh, dead body, preferably

right here or very near to here. >> they find their new case right in charles-haden savage's apartment. his stunt double has been shot dead. but was the bullet meant for her or for savage? the man who lives there? despite the drama, expect plenty of comedy this season, especially since hollywood wants to turn their podcast into a movie. there are laugh out loud moments in every single episode. >> that's what we go for is a laugh on every page or sometimes you don't. you don't want to laugh on every page because it gets very dark and emotional and difficult. but then you revive it with a big laugh. >> next question. okay, who laughs the most on set and who's the cause of that? >> i'm the one laughing at them and half the time it's not even because they're intentionally being funny. they they are so spectacular. >> because what's changed from season one when she said, oh,

it's a little nervous, she got meaner and meaner every season. we taught her well. >> this season, the people who will be playing them in the movie version of their podcast are also involved with trying to solve the case. the stars didn't have anything to do with picking their actor counterparts. >> i'm eugene levy. >> i'm eva longoria. yeah, i'm. >> i want to say, tim, i'm jack black. oh. that's it. yeah. >> i'm not jack black. >> oliver, this is zach. oh, yes. >> zach. journalistic of course. and, zach, i had met briefly once backstage at one of our shows, but i just fell in love with him. he's just the funnies. just a sweet, funny, quiet funny. oh my god. >> the stars say the show has been something special for all of them. >> this is a full home run for all of us. and we are. i think, deeply appreciative. >> the show is up for 21 emmys, including outstanding comedy

series and acting nominations for all three leads. >> i'm kind of used to it, you know, because the last time i got was in 1969. >> how many? >> it's old news, steve. >> how many emmys do you have? >> i want to say five. well i want to say five, but i have one. >> in los angeles, george pennacchio, abc7 news. >> yeah, i want to say five to uh- season four of only murders in the building premieres tomorrow on hulu. all right. that's going to do it for this edition of abc seven news at four. i'm larry beil. abc seven news at five is coming up with dan and ama next
