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/entertai…

Here’s the memo, from Managing Editor Kimi Yoshino, just weeks before the Winter Olympics are set to begin: “We realize this decision and its timing will be disappointing to many of you…”

SERENA WILLIAMS?! 😱

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

That earthquake signaled the official start of the 2028 LA Olympics!

Not only is @FLOTUS at the @USAWP but @FlavorFlav is here too cheering on the team. @usatodaysports @USATODAY

The rain isn’t stopping the party in the streets of Paris - even for fans who can’t get into the restricted area of the opening ceremony. @usatodaysports

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.

@NicoleAuerbach 45 days in and I’m very confident with the word “mange” 🤣🤣🤣

I’ve been doing Duolingo for the past month to prepare for Paris, and so far the main thing I’m really confident in is being able to discuss cats, dogs and horses.

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)
