Of all the great flesh-and-blood cartoons of 1980s popular culture — Hulk Hogan, Madonna, Mr. T — the one easiest for small children to relate to was Pee-wee Herman. In reality, Pee-wee Herman was nothing like us at all, a dreamy man-child in a red bow tie whose sugary smile could curl into a punky scowl. A singular piece of comic performance art for a mass audience, Pee-wee Herman stood out in every form he appeared in, from improv theaters to late-night talk shows to the movies to Saturday morning television. His appearances on that most ironic of late-night shows were like invasions from Candy Land. You laughed not because the jokes were funny, but because they were told with such commitment to the fun of it all.

So why are stars with the means to hide away suddenly out and about in unexpected public places? Something to sip on…David Letterman visits a Hy-Vee store in Iowa on Friday, July 21, 2023. From Hy-VeeDavid Letterman could totally have been forgiven for visiting Des Moines, Iowa, recently and staying in his hotel room. Instead, the former late-night host was bagging groceries at a Hy-Vee grocery store and using his famous voice on the store’s PA system. “Yellowstone” creator Taylor Sheridan has recruited some heavy hitters for his action thriller series “Special Ops: Lioness,” about a special forces unit led by a tougher-than-nails CIA operative named Joe played by Zoe Saldaña.

CNN —Like Lana Del Rey’s apparent new gig moonlighting as a waitress at an Alabama Waffle House, late night icon David Letterman, too, landed a new job… sort of. Letterman is seen in the video perusing the aisles of the Hy-Vee, bagging groceries, eating uncooked minestrone soup and telling customers on the loudspeaker that “today and today only,” celery was free. Letterman was reportedly in Des Moines over the weekend to attend the Hy-Vee IndyCar Race, where Christian Lundgaard was driving the No. Last week, videos showing the singer donning a Waffle House uniform while serving customers from behind the counter began to circulate on social media. Letterman and Del Rey aren’t the only famous faces to surprise patrons as unsuspecting staff members in recent months.

US singer Tony Bennett (Anthony Dominick Benedetto) performs on stage during an invitation only concert at the newly opened Encore Boston Harbor Casino in Everett, Massachusetts on August 8, 2019. "No country has given the world such great music," Bennett said in a 2015 interview with Downbeat Magazine.

Bennett would win Grammys for his tributes to female vocalists ("Here's to the Ladies"), Billie Holiday ("Tony Bennett on Holiday"), and Duke Ellington ("Bennett Sings Ellington — Hot & Cool"). He also won two Emmy Awards — for "Tony Bennett Live By Request: A Valentine Special" (1996) and "Tony Bennett: An American Classic" (2007).

This kind of understated Friday morning is very much how Curtis likes his life two decades after he made his major tournament debut at the British Open — and won. Championship and a Players Championship, a spot on a Ryder Cup-winning team, a few other PGA Tour victories — but never the major-winning magic. He last played a tour event in 2017, finishing with career earnings of more than $13.7 million. Today, he coaches his son’s golf team at Theodore Roosevelt High School in Kent, Ohio, and teaches at a golf academy that bears his name. On Thursday, the Open will begin at Royal Liverpool.

‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ debuted 20 years ago. Earlier this year, Jimmy Kimmel celebrated the 20th anniversary of his late-night talk show by having three of the guests who appeared on the very first episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live return: George Clooney, Snoop Dogg and Coldplay. There was one aspect of that 2003 taping, though, that Kimmel, 55, and his team definitely did not want to replicate. “Someone in the third row vomited right in the middle of the show,” says the comedian and host. “It’s funny because we’ve always assumed she was drunk, but I recently watched a tape of the first show and I’m not so sure.
Take Broadcast.com, the pioneering audiov streaming company that made Mark Cuban a billionaire. In 1995, Cuban was living off of the roughly $2 million in proceeds from the sale of his first tech company, MicroSolutions. But it was great timing for Cuban, who sold most of his stock before the market crashed. "[It's] the origin story of streaming," Cuban told CBS. I'll just turn on the radio,'" Cuban said on a 2021 episode of the "Starting Greatness" podcast.
Celebrities, sports stars, CEOs have never been more at risk of 'sextortion' attacks, lawyers say. "I'm going to blow up you and your business," the screen read. "If you can't get me money," she texted the terrified CEO, according to records reviewed by Insider, "I'm going to fuck up your whole company." East Coast, West CoastHigh-end sextortions like the case of that Manhattan CEO, one of Saland and Weisberg's recent clients, are spawning a growing legal practice. It's different in ManhattanIn contrast, Manhattan sextortion clients tend to hail not from the A-list, but from the city's vast pool of the anonymously wealthy.
Vladimir Putin's long table was meant to protect him from COVID-19, The New York Times said. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy poked fun at Putin's table during an interview with David Letterman that aired in December. "He even chooses to sit at that ridiculously long table. It was long speculated that the long table was a COVID precaution, and the Times reporting appears to confirm it. According to The New York Times, earlier in the pandemic Putin did not meet a single Western leader in person for 16 months.
David Letterman asked Ukraine's president if Russia's war would continue if Vladimir Putin died. He said Russia's political system, which makes Putin much more powerful than others, is the reason. Letterman asked Zelenskyy: "Let's just say that Putin got a really bad cold and died. He said Russia's political system, which gives Putin so much power, is the main reason. Zelenskyy also told Letterman that his nine-year-old son knows the names of all of the weapons being used in the war.

REUTERS/Demetrius Freeman/File PhotoDec 12 (Reuters) - U.S. talkshow host David Letterman has done many interviews in his life - but never one quite like this. In October, the late-night host traveled to Kyiv to interview Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in the safest part of the city — a subway platform 300 feet (90 meters) below ground. Letterman also spoke with the head of Ukraine's railways - vital to the war effort - and visited a comedy club. "My Next Guest... with David Letterman and Volodymyr Zelenskiy" airs on Netflix from Monday.
CNN —Jimmy Kimmel claims he was ready to walk out on his longtime late-night hosting gig if his bosses at ABC asked him to stop making jokes about then-presidential hopeful Donald Trump. But regardless of that slip in popularity among certain circles, Kimmel said at the time that he was simply not willing to refrain from making jokes about Trump. I’m just not going to do it like that,’” Kimmel remembered saying. “You watch the news all day, you see what’s going on, how do you walk on stage and ignore it? That’s fun.”Kimmel renewed his deal with ABC earlier this year that will keep him in his hosting chair for three more years.
Perhaps most notably, this Showtime docuseries gives near-equal time to victim Lana Clarkson, including how the media posthumously denigrated her. “Phil Spector very much saw himself as a victim of all kinds of things,” says Vikram Jayanti, who interviewed the producer for a BBC documentary. Spector’s attorneys fueled that by playing a reel of her appearances in movies like “Barbarian Queen” in court, which, some observers noted, merely served to humanize her. “What a horrible fate for a legend,” says Paul Shaffer, David Letterman’s band leader and one of Spector’s friends. “Spector” premieres November 4 on Showtime’s streaming service and November 6 at 9 p.m.
Maya Rudolph recently reflected on her first appearance on "The Late Show" with David Letterman in 2009. During an interview with WSJ Magazine on Friday, Rudolph did not look back on the moment in her career fondly. I didn’t know how to handle it. I didn’t know how to come up with something funny to say. “Believe me, I am not a Pollyanna who’s like, I smile all day, every day,” she explained.
“All that success came at a price,” says Andrew Olsen, a devotee of “Barney” history and its memorabilia. It’s a reasonable point at first, but one the documentary overplays, especially when there’s so much odd, specific stuff about the show to mine here. “I Love You, You Hate Me” has already generated media attention for Peacock, so score it as a win by that measure. But while the project captures a very specific moment in time, it runs out of insight before its time is up. “I Love You, You Hate Me” premieres October 12 on Peacock.
