In some happier news, I wrote about being on a game show during a pandemic. Honestly, we all could use more joy in our lives right now so tune in to a game show tonight or audition for one! usatoday.com/story/entertain…

I’m absolutely heartbroken about learning that one of the Arizona Republic’s photographers, Rob Schumacher, has passed away. Gutted. Despondent. Much of my work for the past eight years at that newspaper had his photo artwork. May he rest in peace …

Here’s the memo, from Managing Editor Kimi Yoshino, just weeks before the Winter Olympics are set to begin: ā€œWe realize this decision and its timing will be disappointing to many of youā€¦ā€
According to an internal email to Washington Post sports staff, the paper isn't sending any reporters to cover the winter Olympics next month. The decision comes as major layoffs are expected in the coming weeks.

A massive earthquake to punish Los Angeles for using Long Beach as the fake backdrop for the 2028 games. I understand.

What are these women’s gymnastics Olympic team jackets? I think my mom has something just like it in her closet from the late 80s.

KTLA 5 is profoundly saddened to report the death of Sam Rubin. Sam was a giant in the local news industry and the entertainment world, and a fixture of Los Angeles morning television for decades. His laugh, charm and caring personality touched all who knew him. Sam was a loving husband and father: the roles he cherished the most. Our thoughts are with Sam’s family during this difficult time.

🧵 With the news that TNT might lose the NBA, it’s time to share the story about Ernie Johnson and the @NBAonTNT halftime show he made for my Bar Mitzvah. It began w my dad and ended w me being called a drug addict & ballhog (fair, tbh) in front of family & friends (1/X)
