Before Gerald McRaney was bringing life into the world on This Is Us, he was taking them in Night of Bloody Horror. What a haunting performance the 21-year-old actor gave in that 1969 movie.
Alex Trebek passed away on November 8th from pancreatic cancer. Many of us assumed that it would probably be the end of Jeopardy. It is not.
Today, they announced that the show will begin production again on November 30th with guest hosts until they find a permanent one. GOAT winner Ken Jennings will start it off.
“Alex believed in the importance of JEOPARDY! and always said that he wanted the show to go on after him,” said Jeopardy! Executive Producer Mike Richards. “We will honor Alex’s legacy by continuing to produce the game he loved with smart contestants and challenging clues. By bringing in familiar guest hosts for the foreseeable future, our goal is to create a sense of community and continuity for our viewers.”
Trebek’s last episode was supposed to air on Christmas Day, but they have changed the date because of preemptions. They will air his top 10 greatest episodes between December 21st and December 28th. His final episode will now air on January 4th. Then a week later, new episodes will debut with the guest hosts.
Who would you like to see guest host? I would love to see Neil DeGrasse Tyson give it a try. I want a lovable nerd in that job. Someone a lot like Trebek.
I never noticed this before, but old-fashioned watches have their hands set to 10:10 in print advertisements. I am not the only one who didn’t know this until now; acclaimed scientist Neil deGrasse Tyson just realized it too.
“If Space Aliens studied Earth culture, they might wonder why the Time in printed ads is usually Ten Minutes After Ten,” Tyson wrote. “Could all these watches, and the people who wear them, be frozen in some Phantom Zone and need to be set free?”
Why are watches set at that time? According to FactMyth, “Watches and clocks are typically, but not always, set to 10:10 (or close) in advertisements. This is mostly for aesthetic reasons and simplicity. In simple terms, it gives room for graphical elements like the logo, and importantly it looks like a nice happy symmetric smiley face.”
I studied advertising in college, and none of my teachers ever told me this. All they ever said to me was shut up and pay attention. Maybe they did tell me, and I just wasn’t listening or paying attention.
Let’s be honest with one another, 2020 has been depressing. Because of that, most of the music has trended that way too. However, we are not closing out the year that way, thanks to Arashi. The J-pop band’s latest single, Party Starters is so happy; it will make you want to get the party started.
Don’t believe, press play, then try not to jump out of your seat and dance to the tune. My cat is like, if you play that video one more time, I am going to kill you in your sleep. That is because I pick her up and make her dance with me every time. I mean, who else do we have to dance with in 2020 thanks to COVID-19.
Sadly, for my cat, I can play the single as loud and as many times as I want because it was my neighbors who told me about the record. What are they going to do, complain about me to the landlord? I will be like, but they are the ones who started the party!
So get your own party started with this ditty!
Seriously, let’s get this track trending wherever we can. I want to see y’all dance to it on TikTok. I am so over Jason Derulo’s Savage Love, Capone’s Oh No, and Black Eyed Pea’s Where Is the Love? This happy jam is screaming for people to let loose to it.
Kevin Hart has a comedy special out now on Netflix called Zero F*cks Given. He decided to make a onesie for his daughter that has the title on it. Well, when people saw the nearly two-month-old Kaori Mai wearing it, they threatened to call Child Protective Services on him over it.
“This is the world that we are currently living in….shit is funny and sad at the same time….😂😂😂😂😂 Y’all motha fucka’s need to grow up and get a hobby 😂😂😂😂 What’s happening out here…once again I could give “Zero Fucks”……,” the comedian said. “Now go watch my special on NETFLIX “Zero Fucks Given” …..Stupidity at the highest level. #ComedicRockStarShit …..This is why my mindset is what it is in my comedy special….🕺🏾🕺🏾🕺🏾🕺🏾🕺🏾 ….as said in “Zero Fucks Given” y’all are THE FEDS 😂😂😂😂”
Seriously, it is not like the newborn can read it. How is it hurting anyone? Now, if he made her watch it, that would be a totally different story. That is an act of torture that no one of any age show should have to sit through.
Actually, his comedy specials are better than most. Who is the worst comedian you saw do stand up on television?
