There’s another duet with Metallica’s One from fixedbytheduet
Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
In case you somehow missed it, we have a winner in the TV Foolishness Tournament.
But we could have had this:
Scott Bakula will not be in the new Quantum Leap, as he explains in this Instagram post:
In the continuation of Matt Smith Takes of America Tour, he revealed that Prince Harry once addressed him as “Grandad,” which is amazing.
Matt got a chance to test out some of his skills with @SavannahGuthrie, @hodakotb, and even gave out the weather with @alroker 😁 pic.twitter.com/ESYBOlMNIK

WAIT, THERE MIGHT BE A FOURTH SEASON OF TED LASSO?
Pat Sajak is hinting that he will be leaving Wheel of Fortune soon. Somewhere in Burbank, Mike Richards is updating his resume.
Ken Jennings done fucked up on Jeopardy! on Tuesday after he let one contestant fix his answer, but not another contestant in a similar situation. The two contestants in question have addressed the controversy and are all good with Jennings, but frankly, I think this is some bullshit.
Celebrity Jeopardy! will feature Triple Jeopardy for the first time ever. BRACE YOURSELVES.
60 Minutes is adding a new final segment, “The Last Minute,” when it returns for its 55th season on Sunday.
BravoCon is returning this year. Here’s the lineup.
I imagine everyone is going to respond to this Chrissy Teigen story, in which she reveals that she did not have a miscarriage a couple of years ago, but instead had to abort her baby to save her life, with grace and sympathy and not completely freak out and call her a murderer. Talking about this is in this way is brave and important.
I told you all we had a miscarriage because I thought that was what it was. But it was an abortion, and we were heartbroken and grateful all at once. It just took me over a year to realize it. https://t.co/x5XPu7pg2S

These next two stories aren’t exactly TV stories, but you know the routine: my blog, do what I want.
One: When Harry and Meghan paid their respects to the Queen at Westminster Hall, they had the GALL to hold hands when they exited the building, OUTRAGING people who thought it was tacky and lacked decorum. Interestingly, however, when Harry’s cousin Zara — who was directly behind him and Meghan — held her husband’s hand as they exited the hall, no one said boo. HMM. WONDER WHY.
Two: Disney is making a live-action Little Mermaid, and HORRORS UPON HORRORS, they cast a Black actress, the lovely Halle Bailey, who has a wonderful voice. You know where this is headed: white people lost their damn minds. In fact, one asshole went so far as to try to claim it is “unscientific” for mermaids — which, I remind you, do not actually exist — to be Black. Trevor Noah had some words about this on last night’s The Daily Show:
Unbothered is Ms. Bailey, who shared this beautiful video of Black girls reacting to the trailer on her Instagram. Representation matters, y’all.
