Sitcom finales rarely work - indeed they’re often somewhat disastrous - but the final moments of NEWHART in 1990 offer up a classic example of how to get it absolutely right.

📺This scene from The Bob Newhart Show is pure classic sitcom absurdity. Bob’s patient is a ventriloquist who believes his dummy wants to leave the act and go solo. The dummy starts talking back during the therapy session, and Newhart just plays it completely straight. That deadpan reaction to escalating nonsense is what he did better than almost anyone. It’s a great example of how the show could take a ridiculous premise and make it work through understatement. ❓I used to watch this show when I was about 11 years old. It was so funny. Did you watch The Newhart Show? #BobNewhart #TheBobNewhartShow #ClassicTV #70sTV #Sitcom #Comedy

I can just imagine the kaleidoscope of quirky personalities that flock to LALA land in hopes of realizing the different types of stardom Hollywood has to offer. This almost feels like it could be some sort of a sitcom pilot 🎭 anyways I found it somewhat entertaining I hope you enjoy it too. FYI I would have failed the test in the first 30 seconds of this “Uber ride” 😂

"Sub 5:00 mile and a 500# back squat in the same day. Flashback to 3 years ago, today. People only see the final product, but often times miss the 15 years of work it took to get there. Set a goal. Make a plan. Commit and show up every single day." - Adam Klink

YouTubers often obsess over titles and thumbnails but there's one thing they often don't consider which will impact how effective everything else is. This video will show you what that thing is, how to use it and give you an example of how a YouTuber harnessed it to blow up.

🇩🇪 Germany’s chancellor Scholz rejects to work with the AFD, because they’re like real WW2 nazis who set up concentration camps. That’s how democracy works in Germany, up to a third of people vote for a party, but they’re not allowed to participate in the political process.

Memorable Moments of the Daytona 500 (according to Bob Pockrass). #4: "Dale Earnhardt appears he is going to finally get that elusive Daytona 500 win in 1990 but he has a tire go flat on the final lap – was it from a chicken bone thrown on the track? – and Derrike Cope wins."

“The big question right now is whether Donald Trump is going to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell.” —Jim Acosta I’m calling it: Maxwell’s going to produce a list of Dems in exchange for a pardon. That’s how they blow this thing up and try to shift the heat off Trump. They’re definitely cooking up something. But it won’t work. Conspiracy theories don’t end.

The Cavaliers gave up a lot to get De’Andre Hunter last year but it didn’t work out. But they came out of last night’s trade with the best player in Keon Ellis and $50 million in savings. They’re closer to ducking the second apron, which could open up trade options next season.

The inside takeaway was once a part of every major champion’s swing. When you take the club back low and slow, it naturally works to the inside because you’re not lifting it… yet! Here I’m using Hall of Fame member Nancy Lopez as a prime example. These Classic Swing moves are often criticized by the modern golf instruction world, but I believe they’re natural, powerful, and they work. I’ll be giving a FREE Classic Swing webinar this Monday night, May 25th at 7pm CT. I’d love to share an in-depth look at the mechanics of the game’s greatest champions and why many of these timeless principles still hold up today. There's a link in the first comment! 👍🏻
