James Michael Tyler passed away today at the age of 59 from prostate cancer, according to KABC’s George Pennacchio.
Tyler is best known for playing Gunther, the manager of Central Perk, who was in love with Rachel on Friends. He started out as a background player and became a series regular for the show’s run. The decision was an easy one because he won our hearts so easily.
Back in June, the actor revealed that he had prostate cancer that spread throughout his body, and he did not have much time left. But he wanted to make an impact with the time he had left. So he asked every man to go to their doctors and get their PSA levels checked. Prostate cancer is highly curable if it is caught early. Sadly for Tyler, it was not caught early.
So today, let’s raise a coffee mug to him and watch him serve up the laughs to his Friends.
Ed Sheeran has a busy week this week because he releasing his album = on Friday. But most of his plans are going to be cancelled. That is because the singer revealed he has coronavirus.
“Hey guys. Quick note to tell you that I’ve sadly tested positive for Covid, so I’m now self-isolating and following government guidelines,” the singer wrote. “It means that I’m now unable to plough ahead with any in person commitments for now, so I’ll be doing as many of my planned interviews/performances I can from my house. Apologies to anyone I’ve let down. Be safe everyone.”
Sheeran is expected to be the musical performer on Saturday Night Live’s November 6th episode. However, I think it is too early to announce if that is still going to happen.
Hopefully, he will be better soon. He is an international treasure, and he needs to be protected at all costs.
Yesterday was Ryan Reynolds’ 45th birthday. The actor spent his special day with the person he loves most. Not Blake Lively and their three daughters James. 6, Inez, 5, and Betty, 2. Instead, he spent it with Hugh Jackman. Let’s be honest, you know that the Greatest Showman is his soul mate. Lively is just a close second.
Oh, in case you are wondering, his wife was there taking the photo of her husband with his true love.
Now that today is not Reynolds’ birthday, you know that he and Jackman will go back to pretending they hate each other.
Hillary Clinton and Louise Penny are doing press for their thriller State of Terror, and they got a thrill. The ladies ran into Duran Duran’s Simon Le Bon and John Taylor, who are promoting their album Future Past.
I can tell the First Lady is a fan because she has the same expression on her face as I did when I met them for the first time.
Oh, and you can tell the bandmates are just as excited to meet her. I mean, look at the singer’s face; he can barely contain himself. When it comes to the bassist, he is too cool to show it. That is why we love him.
Peter Scolari passed away today at the age of 66 after a 2-year battle with cancer, according to KABC’s George Pennacchio.
The actor was best known for playing Henry Desmond/Hildegarde Desmond on Bosom Buddies in the early ’80s. While that is how that decade started, it ended with him starring Newhart.
He continued to act up this year. He had starring roles in Honey I Shrunk the Kids, Girls, and most recently in Evil.
Some of the things that made him so remarkable were his comedic timing and physical comedy. Together, he and Tom Hanks played so well off of each other that we are still talking about their sitcom 40 years later. Even though it only lasted two seasons.
Today, let’s remember and laugh with him. It is something that is very easy to do.
Scolari is survived by his fourth wife, Tracy Shayne, and four children Nicholas, Joseph, Keaton, and Cali.
