Johnny Carson introduced Sam Kinison as an outrageous comedian. Then Kinison walked out and sang “Are You Lonesome Tonight?” so beautifully that, for a moment, you could almost forget who was standing on the stage. Then he started talking. The performance quickly turned into classic Kinison taking a romantic...

David Letterman wanted Johnny Carson’s job. And Johnny knew it. That makes this 1991 conversation so interesting. Carson asks Letterman about NBC choosing Jay Leno to succeed him, and Letterman doesn't pretend he didn't want the job. He admits he would have liked it but he also makes it clear that he wasn't angry at Carson, Leno, or NBC. Then the conversation gets even more interesting. Letterman questions whether he could even do what Carson had done: host the same late night show for decades without eventually wanting something different. Looking back, we know how this story ended. Letterman went to CBS and built his own legendary late night run. But sitting there in 1991, none of that had happened yet. If you were Letterman, would you have taken the rejection personally, or used it as motivation to build something bigger somewhere else ?

Bo Derek was being asked about what made a woman a “10” while sitting on Johnny Carson’s couch at the exact moment Hollywood was turning her into that idea. In 1979, Derek appeared on The Tonight Show to promote 10, the film that had made her an overnight sensation. They talked about her private life, the infamous cornrow hairstyle, her husband’s demanding approach to fitness, and eventually the idea of rating women from 1 to 10. Carson even turns the scale back on himself, asking the audience how they would rate him. What makes the interview interesting today is the contrast between Bo Derek the person and the image Hollywood was creating around her. She’s sitting there discussing the “perfect woman” label with a surprising amount of ease, while Carson keeps playing with the very idea that helped make her famous. It’s a fascinating snapshot of how celebrity beauty, and Hollywood image making were talked about on television in the late ’70s.

Clint Eastwood on the night he saved the Oscars, and why "minor disasters" made live TV great: In 1973, at the height of the spaghetti western era, Clint Eastwood sat down with Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show. Carson introduced him as an international star who had been described as "Huckleberry Finn with hormones". The conversation quickly turned to one of the most famous improvised moments in Academy Awards history. Eastwood was sitting in the audience that night, scheduled to do just one thing: present Best Picture at the very end of the broadcast. Then producer Howard Koch, visibly panicked, approached him with a problem. Charlton Heston had not shown up, and someone needed to open the show. Eastwood hesitated. His wife encouraged him to do it. So he walked out and read cue cards cold, with no idea what the dialogue was before he said it. Worse, the script had been written in "biblical terms" for Heston, the man who had played Moses. Eastwood eventually turned to the audience and admitted, "this is not my bag." Looking back, he did not treat it as an embarrassment. He reflected that such "minor disasters" are part of what made live television exciting. Carson then brought up the critics, joking that Eastwood had studied at the "Mount Rushmore Dramatic Society". Eastwood's response says a lot about how he measured success: Everyone is entitled to an opinion, he said, but he found the public's reaction more significant. At that point, his films had grossed approximately $200 million worldwide. The interview also captured a piece of film history in the making. Eastwood revealed that before the world settled on "spaghetti western", the films were initially called "macaroni westerns" in Japan when A Fistful of Dollars was first released. He clarified that they were Italian productions filmed in Spain. He also pulled back the curtain on how those films were actually made. In Italy, every movie is dubbed. Actors perform with a "cue track" during filming, then record a clean track later. Eastwood praised the skill of Italian and Japanese actors in syncing their voices to English mouth movements.

🚨 This Just In: 🎙️ Michelle Obama hosts comedian Katt Williams on her podcast “In My Opinion.” In this clip, Katt Williams shares a wild story about how he accidentally discovered his path into comedy: He explains that he ended up at a comedy club he wasn’t even old enough to enter all because he was hanging with his old “Carney crew.” When the club started checking IDs, he knew he was in trouble… until fate stepped in. Katt says a man walked past the entire line and told the doorman, “I’m a comedian.” The doorman replied, “You’re number four,” and let him in. That moment opened a door for Katt too literally. So Katt followed right behind and became comedian number five, not even knowing what was happening next. Inside, they told him it was a comedy competition and he’d get five minutes on stage. When they questioned his age, Katt joked: “Don’t I look 14? I’ve had this mustache since I was 12.” Michelle cracked up. Katt ended by saying he never got the growth spurt, but God always provided another path and that night, it led straight to the stage. 😅

Rodney Dangerfield could make a room lose it before you even had time to process the last joke. The way he jumps from his family, his wife, his neighborhood, his looks and his terrible luck without ever slowing down is what makes this performance so good.

Kyle Shanahan on Curtis Robinson: “He's really worked to get better each year, and he's a very talented guy. I think when he came here, he hadn't played in a system like this for a while. It took him a little bit to kind of pick that up, but we so believed in him as a guy and his talent level that after a year, you could start to see it clicking. He became a big asset on special teams, and last year was the first time that we really believed he was going to step in there, really contribute at linebacker at a high level. It was actually kind of a sad story, but it was about 20 minutes before he tours ACL, was the first time that I told him he'd be starting that week. It was his first start in his career, and he had earned it. We were going to move him ahead of Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles at the time. I had just told Flannigan, which was tough for Flannigan, but they were so tight, so he was happy for Curtis. Then it was about 20 minutes later that Curtis tore his ACL on special teams before he even got to a defensive rep. He was so coming in there and finally about to have his moment. Then he had that setback, which I know crushed the team for him. He's one of the most liked guys on our team, as good of a person and good of a dude as I've ever been around. He's worked for this moment, and we're excited to see him get his opportunity." via: 49ers on NBCS

Tupac was a performer through and through. At his core, he was an actor, a poet, and a thinker—not a gangster. Sure, he rapped about the streets and the struggles that came with them, but that was more about telling the stories of the people around him than living that life himself. He had the smarts and the charisma to pull people in, whether it was on stage, on screen, or in his music. He trained at the Baltimore School for the Arts, where he honed his craft, showing he was born to entertain. The "gangster" image? That was more about the industry and the media pushing a narrative than who Tupac really was at heart. Tupac was an artist first, using his voice and talent to speak for the people, share their pain, and make you feel something. He wasn’t about the gangster life—he was about the art and the message.

He also said in terms of Kobe he doesn't even think about him as gone he just tries to put in his mind like he just hasn't talked to him in a long time"

Jin: But i recently had a meeting with BANG PD. You were on tour then and he had nothing but compliments for you. He said you concert was just so well-planned out and that it was clear the artist jimself planned the whole thing. Like the stage production wasn't planned out by a director or anything. Anyone could see that you, hobi, picked everythung out yourself. And he was so proud of you. He loved the show, and thought it was a perfect performance. That what he told me and i really agreed with him.

Prof. Kim runs a reading program for trainees in 5th division, the unit #Jin got trained and served. He shared his encounter with Jin back then in his YouTube video about his view on reading and BTS as a global leader. Q: We heard that you have a good memory with BTS JIN? Prof. Kim 🗣️: It was my first class with them. It was a break time after the 1st period, and everyone was just resting, taking a break. Then one guy suddenly walked to the front to approach me. He asked a question related to the content I had talked about during the 1st period, and the question was about whether success was related to happiness. When he, a BTS member who’s a superstar, came to ask a question like that, I felt that “wow he was taking notes attentively to ask a question like this.” And there was a library named “A library with dreams”on the second floor, and once in a while I personally witnessed him reading a book there. Then I realized that reading was a part of his life routine. 🔗 time stamp 4:20 #Jin #방탄소년단진 #진 BTS_twt

General Muhoozi Kainerugaba’s speech at Cedric’s sending off. “Cedric was a loyal friend. You could count on him in any situation. When I heard that he got heart complications when he was in Rwanda, I was confident that he was going to pull through.” “Interestingly, he came to see me a few days before he went to Kigali…and we had a long chat with him….we talked about life, we talked about family, he told me his plans for the future, and we left it at that. I didn’t know that the man had come to say bye bye…” “Even though we’ve lost our brother, we thank almighty God for his life. As I said, Cedric has lived a good life. He was a good friend, he was a good father, he was already making plans to contribute to the development of this country” #RIPCedric

Edward Phillip "Ed" O'Neill, Jr. is an American actor and comedian who has worked in film, television, theater, and voice acting. He is best known for his roles as Al Bundy on Married... with Children (1987–1997) and Jay Pritchett on Modern Family. His portrayal of Bundy, a hapless shoe salesman, earned him two Golden Globe nominations and became a cultural touchstone. He has won two Screen Actors Guild Awards for his role as Pritchett. What you probably didn't know was that until his father talked him into being an actor, he was going to be a mobster. He didn't make it in the NFL and was a black belt, not the clumsy guy you see on TV.

Tucker Carlson: Remembering Charlie Kirk - A Life of Faith and Courage "Quickly about Charlie, I've known him since he was a teenager, and just an amazing person, but the two things that stick out, he's a Christian man. We talked about that a lot, including, you know, just the other day. There's a lot of pressure on public people, people who run huge, you know, hundred million dollar a year non-profits, and there are a lot of pitfalls and traps." "That's why so many of them are destroyed, and Charlie really did, without, you know, betraying details, like he walked the line for real. It was the topic of many conversations between us, because I've seen so many people destroyed. You know, most people are destroyed by power, and he wasn't, and I just really admire that." "I mean, to his last moments, you know, in order, he cared about God, his wife, and his children, and then his country. So, and that was totally real, completely real. I can affirm that, because I just talked to him about it so much, and I admire that, and he's a model, really." "I mean, he didn't have hate in his heart, and it was funny, and again, it's one of the reasons I couldn't stop looking at these videos last night. People were describing the opposite of what he was. He was filled with hate." "No, and if you talked to him about people who had attacked him, or who were truly his enemies, up to, and I think including the people who assassinated him yesterday, he would never, ever express hate, ever. He would always turn to, no, this person has been led astray. This person is clearly possessed by dark forces." "This person is a perpetrator, but also a victim of evil. I mean, that really was his worldview. That's the Christian worldview, and he expressed that in public, and especially in private, and I think that faith, which was completely real, not the fake faith that you see on display so often, but a real one, that was the root of his courage, and he had real courage." "He loved being with people who disagreed with him, not theoretically with them, but physically with them, you know, like close enough to smell. He would wait right in the middle of everything. I mean, I could tell you a million stories that I saw, but that was absolutely real." "Like, he loved people, even people who hated him, and people he loved, he was the rare person who was willing to tell them what he thought was true. I mean, he really believed, as a political matter, by the way, that, you know, I don't think he had animus toward anybody in no other country, but he really believed in his own country, and the obligation of his government to stand behind his country. He was truly America first in the nicest, most decent, non-ideological, but sincere way." "He was one of the only people, I mean, truly one of the only people to go to the president, whom he loved. He loved Donald Trump, like, personally as well, and I think the president really loved him in a real way, but he was one of the only people to go to the Oval Office and say, sir, I totally understand, and think Iran's really bad, but a war with Iran is not, you know, is something that could really hurt our country. I mean, boy, that was an unpopular position." "He didn't need to express it. Oh, of course, and he did it again. He didn't have some weird agenda. He wasn't mad at anybody. He was for his country, and he was for doing the right and wise and difficult thing, and he said that. He went to the Oval Office to say that." "He took massive, massive abuse from his own donors, which is also something that you don't see. He was one of the very few people, very few people I have met who combined a, like, a love for everyone involved with strong views. So, again, he was not animated by anything creepy or weird." "I mean, you knew him intimately, so you know this is true. If you talked to him off camera, he would say, you know, I really, like, I love whoever I'm talking about, but I think this is wrong. It's immoral." "It's bad for everybody involved, both sides, and he would say that, and he could say that because it was sincere. It was completely sincere, but I cannot overstate the amount of attacks he took privately over this, like, absolutely for real, and having lived in Washington most of my life and seen people run non-profits, I've never met one who was willing, stand up is too strong. He wasn't confrontational, but he would just say, no, I'm sorry that you feel that way, but I think this is the right thing." "The people we represent, which is mostly young people, they believe this, and I believe it also. It was brave, but loving at the same time, and I'm not sure he made a lot of headway, by the way. I mean, I think he made real enemies in doing that, but his view didn't change." "Anyway, he's just a wonderfully decent, loving man. That is true."

"I mean, he didn't have hate in his heart, and it was funny, and again, it's one of the reasons I couldn't stop looking at these videos last night. People were describing the opposite of what he was. He was filled with hate." "No, and if you talked to him about people who had attacked him, or who were truly his enemies, up to, and I think including the people who assassinated him yesterday, he would never, ever express hate, ever. He would always turn to, no, this person has been led astray. This person is clearly possessed by dark forces." "This person is a perpetrator, but also a victim of evil. I mean, that really was his worldview. That's the Christian worldview, and he expressed that in public, and especially in private, and I think that faith, which was completely real, not the fake faith that you see on display so often, but a real one, that was the root of his courage, and he had real courage." "He loved being with people who disagreed with him, not theoretically with them, but physically with them, you know, like close enough to smell. He would wait right in the middle of everything. I mean, I could tell you a million stories that I saw, but that was absolutely real." "Like, he loved people, even people who hated him, and people he loved, he was the rare person who was willing to tell them what he thought was true. I mean, he really believed, as a political matter, by the way, that, you know, I don't think he had animus toward anybody in no other country, but he really believed in his own country, and the obligation of his government to stand behind his country. He was truly America first in the nicest, most decent, non-ideological, but sincere way." "He was one of the only people, I mean, truly one of the only people to go to the president, whom he loved. He loved Donald Trump, like, personally as well, and I think the president really loved him in a real way, but he was one of the only people to go to the Oval Office and say, sir, I totally understand, and think Iran's really bad, but a war with Iran is not, you know, is something that could really hurt our country. I mean, boy, that was an unpopular position." "He didn't need to express it. Oh, of course, and he did it again. He didn't have some weird agenda. He wasn't mad at anybody. He was for his country, and he was for doing the right and wise and difficult thing, and he said that. He went to the Oval Office to say that." "He took massive, massive abuse from his own donors, which is also something that you don't see. He was one of the very few people, very few people I have met who combined a, like, a love for everyone involved with strong views. So, again, he was not animated by anything creepy or weird." "I mean, you knew him intimately, so you know this is true. If you talked to him off camera, he would say, you know, I really, like, I love whoever I'm talking about, but I think this is wrong. It's immoral." "It's bad for everybody involved, both sides, and he would say that, and he could say that because it was sincere. It was completely sincere, but I cannot overstate the amount of attacks he took privately over this, like, absolutely for real, and having lived in Washington most of my life and seen people run non-profits, I've never met one who was willing, stand up is too strong. He wasn't confrontational, but he would just say, no, I'm sorry that you feel that way, but I think this is the right thing." "The people we represent, which is mostly young people, they believe this, and I believe it also. It was brave, but loving at the same time, and I'm not sure he made a lot of headway, by the way. I mean, I think he made real enemies in doing that, but his view didn't change." "Anyway, he's just a wonderfully decent, loving man. That is true."

Carson Hocevar met both LeBron James and Prince Harry on a trip up to New York City. He wasn't going to take a photo with LeBron at first but ended up taking a seat with him thanks to someone he knew. They talked for quite a bit and it turns out LeBron's trainer's kid actually races. As for Prince Harry, their conversation was quite short but Carson told him "you're gonna make my Mom's day if I get a photo with you" since his Mom is big into the royal family. He laughed and obliged.

Ana Navarro: No other politician could get away with America hearing him boast about sexual assault, about grabbing a woman by the p. And then a month later they went and voted for him including Christians, Catholics who prayed about what to do. O'Donnell: I blame producers of The Apprentice for selling that show as fact when it was fiction and pretending this mediocre man was somehow a leading businessman. I find it unbelievable that people can't see who he is even with 34 felony convictions. The man who started an insurrection.

The man who invented modern fantasy didn't publish his first novel until he was forty-five. By that age, J.R.R. Tolkien had already built a respectable life. He was an Oxford professor, an expert in ancient languages, with a wife and four children and a settled academic career. He was exactly the kind of man who might reasonably have decided that the shape of his life was already fixed. The work he would be remembered for, he had not yet even begun... The story, which Tolkien told himself, is that one summer he was grading examination papers, when he turned a page and found that a student had left it blank. Without quite knowing why, he wrote a single sentence on it: "In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit." He did not know what a hobbit was. He had spent years inventing languages and mythologies as a private passion, and telling stories to his own children, never imagining any of it would reach the world. But that one line began to grow. It became a story, and then a book, and in 1937, at the age of forty-five, Tolkien published The Hobbit. It was a success, and his publisher asked for a sequel. Tolkien warned them it might take some time. It took 17 years... He wrote it in the margins of a demanding full-time job, revising endlessly, doubting it often. When The Lord of the Rings was finally published, in 1954 and 1955, he was in his early sixties. That book, begun as a middle-aged professor's private side project, went on to sell well over a hundred million copies, to invent modern fantasy as we know it, and to reshape the imagination of the entire world. Tolkien already had a full and respectable life behind him. And still, the thing he is remembered for, the thing that outlived him and reached hundreds of millions of people, was something he began at forty-five, at an age when it would have been the easiest thing in the world to tell himself he had already missed his chance. He didn't. It's never as late as it feels.

The fan that leaked his messages with Tyler Herro speaks out about the back and forth messages that ultimately led to Tyler getting punched by Bam 😳 “I came up on his burner and I commented ‘retire hoe.’ He hopped in my DMs making fun of me. We went back and forth for months every time he had a bad game I’d tell him he’s terrible and Miami will be better when he’s gone. Anytime he had a good game, he’d hop in my DMs talking about how nice he was. That he needs the team to be built around him. The particular game about Bam he had a terrible game and I was telling how bad he was, then he said everybody is worried about me but the guy making $60M then starts to go in on Bam… There was one time he had a 30 point game but we lost, and he was on a flight to Philly, and he hit me with a bunch of ‘……’” (Via The Dan Le Batard Show)
