CNN —Live from New York, it’s revelations about paydays on “Saturday Night Live.”Some of the former and current cast members of “SNL” shared in a video shared by New York magazine about their financial splurges after joining the show. Pete Davidson, who was a cast member from 2014 to 2022, set the tone. “I remember a designer coming over in tears, and he goes, ‘OK, those arms are too high. You’re going.’”Current cast member Bowen Yang and former cast member Julia Louis-Dreyfus both snagged some shoes, though Yang went a little bit fancier with a pair of Gucci shoes. “I mean, you don’t make enough money to make big purchases,” Sudeikis said.

☆ Prescription fills for weight loss drugs Zepbound and Wegovy more than doubled in 2024, GoodRx says
▼ + stars: | 2024-12-05 | by ( Annika Kim Constantino | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +4 min

The data comes from GoodRx's new Weight Loss Medications Tracker, which examines fill trends and spending patterns in the U.S. for popular weight loss medications. But Marsh said out-of-pocket costs can add up, even if a patient has insurance coverage for a weight loss treatment. GoodRx said people without insurance can save an average of $250 monthly, or $3,000 annually, using its coupons for weight loss drugs. The federal Medicare plan also doesn't cover weight loss treatments unless they are approved and prescribed for another health condition. But the Biden administration in November proposed a rule that would allow Medicare and Medicaid to cover weight loss drugs for patients with obesity.

Walt Disney debuted a dedicated ESPN tile Wednesday on Disney+ for people who subscribe to ESPN+, its sports streaming platform, to watch programming without leaving the Disney+ application. Next fall, when ESPN launches its yet-to-be-named "flagship" service, those subscribers will get full access to all ESPN content through the ESPN tile on Disney+. Disney is making about 100 live games available to Disney+ members without a corresponding ESPN subscription. Some ESPN sports-related films and documentaries will also appear on Disney+ married to whatever sports season is active, Pitaro said. If a Disney+ subscriber who isn't an ESPN customer clicks on something that requires an ESPN subscription, the user will be prompted to sign up within the app.

His fate will not only depend on whether sufficient Republican senators will defer to the president-elect. That dilemma is especially acute since concern among Republican senators helped derail the Gaetz selection last month. So far, only a small minority of Republican senators have raised questions about Hegseth. But several Republican senators said they hoped such steps would be taken, especially in the case of Hegseth.

☆ Does blowing your nose make cold symptoms worse?

Before you blow your nose like a foghorn, know that nose blowing is helpful when done correctly. “It’s pretty rare to blow your eardrums from nose blowing,” Kelley said. While blood vessels are all around the nose, the ones in the front of the nose can easily burst from the pressure of nose blowing. Rest assured, Filip said these are exceedingly rare cases of forceful nose blowing, and people were able to recover once they stopped blowing their noses. HeadachesFilip said experts are still divided on whether forceful nose blowing causes headaches because people with runny noses usually have a flu or cold that would induce migraine symptoms.

CNN —Iran’s parliament has enacted a harsh new modesty law, significantly tightening existing dress restrictions that have already fueled nationwide protests and posed a serious challenge to regime stability. “In my opinion the hijab law, which I have to implement, is vague. It defines improper dress in various ways, ranging from nudity and dressing immodestly to wearing the hijab incorrectly. The law also introduces a system of fines and restrictions with financial penalties, even for initial offenses. While the harsher penalties have caused concern for Iranians, a particularly controversial aspect of the legislation is expanded surveillance.

Decades after a woman was killed and her body was dumped in the woods of New Jersey, a suspect has been extradited from Canada to face murder charges, according to law enforcement. It was an ATV rider who had found Tignor’s body on the dirt access road that ended in a cul-de-sac, Somerset County Prosecutor John McDonald said. Bridgewater police and Somerset County investigators searched the woods for days, looking for any evidence or clues that could lead them to the killer. Tammy Tignor Somerset County Prosecutor's OfficeDNA evidence found on the Newark woman’s body provided no answers. A first-degree murder charge against Creter was authorized in May 2023, the prosecutor’s office said, but there was an issue: Creter had since moved to Winnipeg, Canada, in 2002.

South Korea's inflation rate climbed in November to 1.5% year on year, from a 45-month low in October, as the country grapples with a weakening Korean won and slowing exports. Last Thursday, South Korea's central bank unexpectedly cut rates by 25 basis points to 3%, marking the first time that the Bank of Korea had enacted two back-to-back cuts since 2009. South Korea narrowly avoided a technical recession in the third quarter, with GDP growing 0.1% quarter on quarter, according to the bank's advance estimates, following a contraction of 0.2% in the second quarter. South Korea's currency has weakened against the greenback over October and November, hitting a two-year high of 1,411.31 as tariff fears from the incoming Trump administration take hold. Data from the World Integrated Trade Solution platform — set up by the World Bank — lists the U.S. as South Korea's second largest trade partner.

He added that Zuckerberg wants to be involved in Trump's conversations about tech policymaking. In an interview, the Meta CEO said Trump's reaction to being shot at a Pennsylvania rally this summer was "badass."

The omission is potentially significant because Fox is the top TV outlet for Republicans, and Hegseth’s confirmation hinges on Republican senators. On Fox, Hegseth’s former colleagues aren’t raising alarms about the allegations or defending him – they’re just not talking about the issue at all. Instead, almost all of the recent mentions of Hegseth on Fox have been supportive or sympathetic. Hegseth told police the sex was consensual and he was never charged with a crime. A Fox News spokesperson declined to say whether the network has made an editorial decision not to report on allegations against its former host.
