Jack Black’s memorable performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, showcasing his iconic Sax-A-Boom, remains one of the show’s standout moments.

Renowned for integrating the children’s toy into his live acts, Black amusingly asserted that the Sax-A-Boom is a distinct instrument demanding years of dedication to excel. When Fallon unveiled a Sax-A-Boom on set, Black handled it with the reverence reserved for a rare Stradivarius violin, teasing the audience with a glimpse of his expertise.

The ensuing performance was a comedic tour de force, as Black energetically played the toy saxophone, unleashing pre-recorded melodies with the push of buttons. His exaggerated expressions and dance moves heightened the hilarity, captivating the audience and eliciting enthusiastic applause. But the fun didn’t end there.

Approaching The Roots, the house band, Black spurred them into a funky rhythm led by Questlove. Joined by Fallon, they danced their way into a standout moment on The Tonight Show. This performance quickly went viral, amassing 95 million views on YouTube and ranking as the seventh most popular video on the show’s channel.

Pat Sajak has been the host of “Wheel of Fortune” for 43 years, but his time on the show is ending soon. His last episode will be on June 7.

According to reports, the 77-year-old has already recorded his final episode. Before his last show, “Wheel of Fortune” will air special episodes called “Thanks for the Memories” to celebrate Pat Sajak’s long career on the show.
Last summer, Pat Sajak announced he would retire after the 41st season of “Wheel of Fortune.” He said, “The time has come.
I’ve decided that our 41st season, which begins in September, will be my last. It’s been a wonderful ride, and I’ll have more to say in the coming months. Many thanks to you all.”

He wanted to know from Reddit users if being a stay-at-home-fiancée was real. OP also explained that he wished to support his future wife and give her a comfortable life but strongly felt she was quitting her career a little too early for her age.The View’s Joy BeharGet info without
leaving the page.just went full Mariah Carey on Fox News star Greg Gutfeld. While Gutfeld may now be the self-christened new “King of Late Night,” Behar claimed on Thursday that she had never heard of the Gutfeld! host, even though he spends an inordinate amount of airtime raging about her to Fox News viewers.

“Who is he?” Behar wondered at one point. One of The View’s “Hot Topics” on Thursday centered on the news that Fox News star Geraldo Rivera, one of The Five’s resident “liberal” panelists, was leaving the late-afternoon show amid “growing tension” on-set. While Rivera wouldn’t comment directly about his relationship with Gutfeld, who has been with the show since its launch over a decade ago, he has frequently clashed with his acerbic co-host in heated on-air exchanges. Behar, meanwhile, didn’t quite buy Rivera’s assertion that it was his decision to quit the conservative cable giant’s most-watched show.

“It’s hard to sit there with these people who are spewing lies every day. And, you know, by the way, they always say that they quit. I don’t know anything about that show, but I said I quit years ago when they fired me. Everyone says they quit,” she quipped, referencing her departure from The View in 2013.“No one’s giving up these lucrative jobs so easily,” Behar continued. “You have to be fired. Take it from me.

No one said, please, we must have you back.”Notably, while Rivera told the Associated Press it was his choice to depart The Five, he added that Fox management “didn’t race after me to say, ‘Geraldo, please come back. ”Inside Greg Gutfeld’s Meltdown—From Comic Rebel to Punchline Later in the discussion, conservative co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin pointed out that Gutfeld had a tendency to go after Rivera in a very personal manner on the show.“Greg Gutfeld is one of the hosts of The Five who—if I don’t have anything nice to say, I generally don’t say anything at all,” Griffin said, adding: “He’s been very harsh and critical of Geraldo. And I could see why he’d be like, I don’t need to do this. I’ve had a long career. I’m just going to go and enjoy myself.”

 

While seemingly feigning ignorance of the Fox News host, Hostin turned to Behar and said she’d been briefed that “Gutfeld talks about you all the time.” Behar, meanwhile, immediately dispatched the worst possible insult a longtime media personality can suffer.“Who is he?” she quipped, sparking laughter and applause from the in-studio audience. “No, really. Who is he?” the veteran comic continued as Hostin insisted she doesn’t watch his program. “He has a show? I’ve never heard of him. I guess he’s just obsessed with me!”Indeed, it would not be inaccurate to suggest Gutfeld is “obsessed” with Behar and The View. The Fox star has spent years lashing out at her and her commentary, going so far as to compare Behar to Adolf Hitler’s wife and calling her an “80-year-old hag.

” And earlier this month, the Fox host devoted an entire segment on his late-night show to how Behar needs a “full day to read her hate mail.”

Michael J. Fox and his wife Tracy Pollan are one of the most inspiring couples in Hollywood. They’ve been loyally married for over three decades and have supported each other through ups and downs, especially Fox’s battle with Parkinson’s disease. Recently, the couple celebrated their 35th anniversary, and the actor shared a heartwarming tribute to his beloved wife.
35th anniversary
The Back to the Future star, 62, shared a series of photos of him and Tracy over the years on social media.
“35 years of laugher, living, listening and loving you,” Fox wrote in the caption. “Thank you for it all. Forever yours, Mike.”
“Love you so much!!!” Pollan replied in the comments. She also shared her own Instagram post paying tribute to her husband: “Happy anniversary my love. Here’s to many more glorious adventures together. I could not love you more,” she wrote.

Pollan celebrated her 63rd birthday last month, Fox also shared a sweet birthday tribute to his wife: “She showers the people she loves with love, she shows them the way that she feels,” he wrote.“My forever Summer girl, my love, my best friend, and the most beautiful amazing mom to our four stupendous kids. Love love love you.”

Michael J. Fox and Tracy Pollan – love story Fox & Pollan have been married since 1988. They first met years earlier on the set of Family Ties, on which Pollan played the girlfriend of Fox’s Alex P. Keaton. They worked together again on the film Bright Lights, Big City and began a relationship. The couple married on July 16, 1988. They have four children together: their son Sam, twin daughters Aquinnah and Schuyler, and daughter Esmé.

Only a few years into their marriage, Fox’s life took a devastating turn after he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 1991.“It was scary,” Fox recalled on The Late Show With David Letterman in 2015. “I was 29 years old and so it was the last thing I expected to hear. I thought I’d hurt my shoulder doing some stunt because I had a twitch in my pinkie. And the doctor said ‘You have Parkinson’s disease.’ He said, ‘The good news is that you have 10 years of work left. ’”Fox struggled to come to terms with the disease, but says his wife’s love and support helped him through the darkest times. “We didn’t know what to expect,” Fox told Today. “One of the things I’ll always love Tracy for is that at that moment, she didn’t blink.”

For the past 35 years, they have been a constant source of love and support for one another, and their love is still going strong.“I think we really listen to each other, we are there for each other when we need each other,” Pollan told People. “And then we also give each other space when that’s needed. Just feeling off of what’s needed at the moment and trying to be there.”“Tracy gives our family everything that we need. Any good in our family, anything good that we do, comes from her,” Fox added.

Fox retired from acting in 2021, and recently admitted that his battle with Parkinson’s was “getting tougher” and that he was “not gonna be 80,” but said he was still “happy.”Fox continues to do great work with his Michael J. Fox Foundation, which funds research to find better treatments and a cure for Parkinson’s. The foundation is the largest nonprofit funder of Parkinson’s disease research and has raised over $1 billion for research projects.

Happy 35th anniversary to Michael J. Fox and Tracy Pollan! One of the most inspiring celebrity love stories ❤️

Joy Behar, who once called a woman a harsh word for not getting into the first-class lounge and being “reduced to coach,” criticized Dolly Parton’s famous song “Jolene” as “anti-feminist.”

Instead of liking the classic song from 1973, the co-host of The View liked Beyoncé’s version, where she tells the character of Jolene, “you don’t want no heat with me.”Keep reading to find out what Behar thinks about the song “Jolene”!In April 2023, after coming back from a two-week vacation in Italy, the long-time panelist of The View returned to the show, accidentally sharing a comment she made to a woman in Italy that wasn’t supportive of feminism.

“The people are nice, here and there. I had to call one woman the b-word, but that’s something else,” the 81-year-old told her co-hosts. After Whoopi Goldberg asked if she voiced her complaints in English or Italian, Behar said, “I said it in English because she wouldn’t let me pee in the first-class lounge. I said, ‘Please, let me just go!’ I said, ‘Listen, don’t be a bitch.’ She wouldn’t let me go.”Though Behar didn’t clarify if she was on a plane or a train, she did complain that she was “reduced to coach.”In April 2024, the opinionated Behar went after the much-loved country music song, Jolene by the beloved 78-year-old Dolly Parton, saying the song’s lyrics suggest anti-feminism.First crediting herself as the person “that made Dolly Parton admit she was a feminist,” Behar next compares the legendary song to Beyoncé’s recent reinterpretation of Jolene, on her album Cowboy Carter.

Both versions of the song are about dealing with the threat of someone stealing a partner. Dolly Parton pleads with Jolene not to take her man, while Beyoncé warns Jolene, saying “you don’t want no heat with me.”Instead of saying, “I’m begging of you, please don’t take my man,” Beyoncé sings, “I’m warnin’ you, woman, find you your own man.”“I like the subject of Beyoncé taking over the lyrics,” Behar told The View producer Brian Teta on an episode of the Behind the Table podcast. “Because the original thing with Dolly Parton is so, like, anti-feminist, worrying about some good-looking woman taking your man. If it’s so easy to take your man, then take him.”She adds, “Beyoncé says, if you take my man, you’re going to be in a lot of trouble. I say, go ahead, take my man. Take him.”Behar’s comments about the iconic song caused a stir among fans.“Who is Joy Behar, I have never heard of her, oh I have heard of Dolly Parton and I like her very much…I personally don’t like most Country Music, but Dolly’s Jolene song is one of the one’s I do like,” writes one netizen.
Another person says, “Beyoncé should stick to what she knows! Dolly is a great person and a wonderful singer! Joy should just retire!”“I adore Dolly Parton and her music. Joy Behar should stop talking, she doesn’t know what she’s saying,” adds someone else.Referring to Behar’s ‘anti-feminist’ remarks, another comment reads, “I’m against Joy Behar! Anyone else?”Beyoncé’s version of “Jolene” wasn’t meant to cause a feud between the two singers.In fact, Dolly Parton herself introduces Beyoncé’s version in a short interlude.“Hey, Miss Honeybee, it’s Dolly P. You know that hussy with the good hair you sang about reminded me of someone I knew back when,” Parton says with her lovely southern accent. “Except she has flaming locks of auburn hair. Bless her heart. Just a hair of a different color, but it hurts just the same.”

She writes, “Wow, I just heard Jolene. Beyoncé is giving that girl some trouble and she deserves it! Love, Dolly P.”Fans are divided over the two versions, some suggesting Beyoncé’s lyrics are too aggressive.

“One person says, “[The] original version has class, intelligence and subtlety. It’s aggression.”Another adds, “Jolene flirted with the wrong man in 1973 and hasn’t known peace since.”A third person agrees with Behar, saying, “I quite love this version because who begs a woman not to take their man [because] she can?? Unrelatable to a lot of people…Beyoncé’s entire brand is about strong women. They are both phenomenal in my opinion.”

Some people are still shocked that Beyoncé tried country music.“Beyoncé needs to STOP and stick to her own music style…country music fans don’t want her!”What do you think about the new version of “Jolene”?

The property comes with 5.5 acres of gardens bordered on the western side by the River Stiffkey, and includes a tennis court and games room.

It is next to the popular North Norfolk village of Wighton, and just 17 miles from Anmer Hall, where the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge live.

A local told The Sun: ‘It’s away from any neighbours, so would be the perfect party pad.’

Within the landscaped grounds is an octagonal summer house situated on the river’s edge with fine views of the river valley.

Rita Moreno just turned 92 years old, and she marked her special date by having a good time with her friends and PR team. In a video posted on social media, fans can see Moreno standing on a chair while the group sings her “Happy Birthday to You” with a live piano.

As always, the Puerto Rican star appeared in her signature style, wearing a dark blazer with a glittering brooch, leather pants, and flashy earrings. “Feliz cumpleaños, Rita!” her Katz PR wrote in the video’s caption. “92 years young and still the life of the party,” they said about the EGOT-winning legend.

A life filled with accomplishments

The legendary actress, singer, and dancer is the first Latina to win an Oscar, thanks to her role as Anita in West Side Story. During an interview with the TODAYShow’s Hoda Kotb, she reflected on the impact of winning over 60 years ago.

“People [were] yelling out the windows, ‘She did it! She did it!’ And, you know, as a friend of mine said, what they were really saying was, ‘We did it,’” Moreno shared in the interview.

Moreno is also the first and only Latina to have an Oscar, Tony, Grammy, and Emmy. Moreno has starred in multiple Broadway and London’s West End movies and shows for over seven decades.

In 2022, Rita Moreno received the Stanley Kramer Award during the 33rd Producers Guild of America Awards. According to the trade association representing television producers, film producers, and New Media producers in the United States, the Stanley Kramer Award “honors a production, producer, or other individuals whose achievement or contribution illuminates and raises public awareness of important social issues.”

One of the characters which added to the NCIS popularity is definitely the smart and but-kicking detective Ziva David portrayed by beautiful Cote de Pablo.

Cote was born María José de Pablo Fernández on November 12, 1979, in Santiago, Chile. When she was 10, her family settled down in Miami Florida. Moving places wasn’t easy for Cote who needed to learn a new language and make new friends. It was during her school years that she decided to be called Cote, mainly because her classmates had a hard time pronouncing her birth name right.

Over time, she found her place under the American sky.

But I was raised here. And I found my niche because I went to a performing arts high school. I had always been interested in the arts, but performing became even more important because it was a way to communicate with people in my new country,” she told Prevention. “It wasn’t till I got to the United States that I learned to speak English.

“Those were defining years for me. I always describe myself as sort of a hippie. Deep inside, I’m not a glamorous person,” the actress added. “I come from a traditional, conservative world. But this kind of hippie world at school allowed me to explore the creativity and imagination that live inside all of us.”

Once in America, Cote’s mother started working for Telemundo, a Spanish-speaking television channel, and Cote inherited the love for arts from her.

At the age of 15, Cote co-hosted episodes of the Latin-American talk show Control with former Entertainment Tonight host Carlos Ponce. She attended Carnegie Mellon University where she studied music and theatre.

After appearing in commercials and a number of television series, including ones in All My Children and Fling, Cote was cast to portray Ziva David on NCIS from 2005 to 2013. She later made short comebacks, but didn’t return as a regular in the show.

Speaking of her character, Cote said that she and Ziva had a lot in common. “My character’s strength is like mine, to a completely different degree. Losing family members because of a war,” Cote told Prevention. “I have moments when I just have to hold my heart. But I also have to remember that if I played the character from my point of view, she’d be falling apart all the time. She has to keep it together–it’s the world she grew up in.”

Over the course of the years she was on NCIS, Cote formed strong bonds with most of her co-stars, but that with Mark Harmon seemed to be the strongest of all. They have been close since the moment they met and Cote speaks of Harmon with admiration.

“[Mark Harmon] is more of a friend mentor. He was always like a father figure to me. Obviously, Ziva and Gibbs have that, but Cote and Mark have that as well,” she told BUILD.

“He’s a very busy, famous man. Obviously, there are many months where you just don’t talk, but it’s really nice to know that sometimes when you have friendships but certainly in the family – that’s a given- you can go time without talking, but you’ve laid a foundation. A foundation that is solid.

“From that foundation, you can really go anywhere. You can go years without talking,” Cote added. “Really heavy-duty things can happen, and then all the sudden you’re back, and you can pick up right where you left off.”

Asked why she left the show which defined her life and career, Cote said during an occasion that she made such a decision out of respect for her character.

Leaving NCIS was huge for Cote, but she moved on to other significant projects. Among the rest, she landed roles in The 33, Prototype, and Seneca.

Cote, who is 42, hasn’t been married. She, however, knows what she’s looking for in the person she would spend her life with.

“One of the things I love is just being able to have a conversation with somebody, being able to be vulnerable and to feel somebody else’s vulnerability,” she told Cheat Sheet in 2010. “And more so than that, to find the fun and the laughter. If you can laugh with a person, everything’s fine.”

“Eventually, I think it will happen… Things have been slow to come. I think happily they will come when the time is right,” Cote told Rachel Ray in 2013.

Although she’s not part of NCIS any more, Cote remains one of the most popular characters.

Emily Wickersham has been playing Ellie Bishop, an NSA analyst, on NCIS since 2013. While it’s definitely been her longest-running show, Wickersham is also known for being in other shows like Gossip Girl and The Bridge, as well as the movie I Am Four.

From where she was born to her first ever recurring role, here are five fast facts about NCIS star Emily Wickersham.

In the Beginning
Wickersham was born on April 26, 1984, and grew up on the east coast in Mamaroneck, New York. She also went to Muhlenberg College for two years but decided to drop out to pursue acting.


In the Genes
Judging by her hazel eyes and very blonde hair, it’s easy to believe Wickersham has European ancestry. In fact, on her mother’s side, she has an Ashkenazi Jewish background that includes Russia and Austria-Hungary, while on her father’s, she has Swedish and Canadian.

Mobbed Up
Despite guest starring on a few shows here and there, Wickersham’s first recurring role on a television show was actually on The Sopranos. She played Rhiannon Flammer for four episodes.

The Wrong Side of The Law
When she appeared on the Rachael Ray Show, she and her mom Amy (who was with her), revealed that she got caught drinking beer in a bar and was taken away in a squad car. To be fair, Wickersham said it was only because she used a fake I.D. — but her mom also revealed it landed her daughter on the cover of her college paper the next day.

Recurring to Regular
Wickersham had a recurring role on NCIS as Eleanor “Ellie” Bishop back in Season 11 to fill the void once Cote de Pablo left the role of Ziva, but her character was quickly upped to a series regular. She has been on NCIS ever since — and was the one to discover that Ziva is possibly still alive.
