The person with the power to pull the plug isn't ABC. It's Kimmel. ABC absolutely wants Jimmy back. Nobody is canceling him, nobody is pushing him out, and there is no farewell plan.

The Minnesota State Fair has been a tradition for many years, with its roots traced all the way back to an agricultural fair in 1854, before Minnesota was even a state. In 1855, a territory fair was held in Minneapolis, moved to St. Paul in 1857. After Minnesota became a state in May of 1858, there was no funding for a state fair that year, but Minnesota's first state fair was held in 1859.

The 2026 Minnesota State Fair wrapped up on Labor Day, as has been the tradition for many (many) years. While this year's fair got off to a historically strong start, final numbers were somewhat disappointing. The opening day of this year's fair, Thursday, August 27, set an opening day record with 155,185 people going through the gates. Building on that, day two of the fair brought in nearly 50,000 more people than the first day.

Whem I was a kid a Halloween Costume was a dopey plastic mask held in place by a rubber band, and a smock with the character’s name on it. (I don’t recall Mr. Spock’s wearing a glowing picture of his own face on his chest on Star Trek, do you?) Times have really changed — and so have movie-inspired Halloween costumes. These disguises now come with way more than a flimsy face and an oversized apron.

Denny's has been an American road-trip and late-night staple for more than 70 years. The chain was founded in 1953 in Lakewood, California, by Harold Butler and Richard Jezak — not as a diner at all, but as a doughnut shop called Danny's Donuts. It picked up the Denny's name by 1961 and grew into one of the country's best-known 24-hour diners, with roughly 1,500 restaurants nationwide today.
