Ever since we were told about COVID-19, medical experts told us to wash our hands for 20 seconds. We all started to do it, even though we did not know why.
Well, now we know why. Bill Nye: The Science Guy explained it to us and it is really simple. At least to him, it is. To me, it is still confusing. That is why all of my science teachers hated me. Actually, all of my teachers did, but that is for another post. This one is all about Bill Nye: The Cool Guy.

Just when you think that Bill Murray would never be able to top his surprise cameo in that movie (let’s not say what it is for people who still haven’t seen it yet), he found a way to hit it out of the ballpark. The actor sang Take Me Out to The Ballgame with a big stuffed teddy bear during the seventh-inning stretch for his Chicago Cubs during opener yesterday.
His rendition is so inviting, it makes me want to go to a game. Well, that won’t be happening anytime soon.
Regis Philbin passed away yesterday at the age of 88. His family told People, “We are deeply saddened to share that our beloved Regis Philbin passed away last night of natural causes, one month shy of his 89th birthday.
“His family and friends are forever grateful for the time we got to spend with him – for his warmth, his legendary sense of humor, and his singular ability to make every day into something worth talking about. We thank his fans and admirers for their incredible support over his 60-year career and ask for privacy as we mourn his loss.”
We spent 28 and a half years waking up with him on Live with Regis and Kathie Lee and then with Kelly Ripa. No one could do an interview like he did. He was like that uncle you looked forward to seeing at Thanksgiving, but you got to see him every day. He made morning television appointment viewing with his great sense of humor.
That was his day job, but his night job was the host of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. He was supportive and sarcastic in the same breath. It is one of the many reasons why we loved him.
Today, let’s honor the man who holds the Guiness Book of World Record for the most hours on US television by watching some of the 16,746.50 hours he spent in front of the camera. This way it will be like he is still with us.
Let’s be honest, when we heard that Tom Bergeron was wrongly fired from Dancing with the Stars recently, we all wondered if they offered the job to Alfonso Ribeiro before Tyra Banks. We are not the only ones who want to know.
Us Weekly asked him all about it. He told the magazine, “If the circumstances were very different, that might’ve been something that I might’ve been interested in doing. Then he elaborated, “I certainly would not have been interested in Tom being fired and me being hired to do it. I mean, I already took over for him on AFV. I can’t do all of his gigs. And at the end of the day, the AFV was not a firing. It was him leaving, and that’s what made it possible for me to go. I never want to take someone’s job like that. Yes. That has nothing to do with whoever you’re hiring, of course, but because I’m so close to him, it just wouldn’t have felt right to do if they approached me.”
I am glad he was not approached and accepted the job. As much as I like my Junior High School alum, I would have been upset with him if he did. As would the fans of the show, and he is a fan favortie.
Is he still a fan of the show, and does he plan to watch? It will be hard to watch it without the backbones of the show, Bergeron and Erin Andrews, but he will still tune in for his other friends like the judges and professional dancers.
Does he have any advice for Banks? He says she needs to be the traffic cop guiding the show in the proper direction, and not make it about herself. At the end of the day, it is not about her. Who thinks she will be able to do that? Everything she does is always about her; why would this be any different. That is why a majority of the people think she is the wrong person for the job.
Is it too late for them to give the job back to Bergeron?
It is literally Christmas in July for Jason Priestley and Melissa Joan Hart as they film their Lifetime holiday movie, Dear Christmas. However, the Beverly Hills, 90210 star is all bah humbug because Sabrina the Teenage Witch made him do a TikTok video her.
His face is just so awesome because you can so tell that he doesn’t want to do it. Can you blame him? Those dances are for people who are under 20 or actresses who think it makes them look cool to their kids. It doesn’t.
