Los Angeles Dodgers • Atlanta Braves • National Leag

Baseball's first fans of 2020 see Dodgers-Braves NLCS opener ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Scott McIlroy reached out with his left hand as a batting practice home run clanged off a railing and hit him in the palm, the ball popping in the air before settling back into his grip as he held a cell phone in his right hand. Count the Texas resident and Los Angeles Dodgers fan among the first in the pandemic-shortened 2020 season to catch a pre-game souvenir — and among the first ticket buyers to see live baseball in Game 1 of the National League Championship Series on Monday night. Major League Baseball said it was selling 11,500 tickets per game at Globe Life Field for the series between the Dodgers and Atlanta Braves and plans a similar allotment at the same ballpark when it hosts the first neutral-site World Series starting Oct. 20. McIlroy got a call from a friend knowing the longtime Dodgers fan would want to make the two-hour drive to the Dallas area. “We were wondering what the mixture ...

Bob Newhart

Comedy legend Bob Newhart Turner Classic Movies host Ben Mankiewicz asked comedian Bob Newhart, "Do you know that you were profoundly influential?" "Not  profoundly ," he replied.   "All right, just influential?" "That's it, I'm not taking this anymore, all right? I'm leaving …" We start with a word of warning: Do not try to flatter Bob Newhart. A pioneer of observational humor, the comedian has imparted his deadpan delivery on award-winning comedy albums and classic TV sitcoms.   CBS News Mankiewicz spoke to Newhart last week at the L.A. home he shares with his wife, Ginny. "You're one of these typical Hollywood players, woman after woman, how long have you and Ginny been married?" "57 years," Newhart replied. "Why do you think that is?" "Laughter. There's something about laughter, and the longevity of a marriage." While the world has changed a great deal since he burst onto the scene i...

Dexter

‘Dexter’: Showtime Revives Serial Killer Drama As Limited Series, Michael C. Hall & Clyde Phillips Return Showtime Dexter  is back to his blood-splattering ways after  Showtime  ordered a new limited-series revival of the long-running serial-killer drama. Michael C. Hall , who starred as the title character in the 2006-13 series, is back along with showrunner  Clyde Phillips . The premium cable network has handed the series a 10-part run that is set to go into production in early 2021 with a tentative premiere date of fall 2021. The original followed Dexter Morgan, who was a complicated and conflicted blood-spatter expert for the Miami Police Department but moonlighted as a serial killer. Gary Levine, Co-President of Entertainment at Showtime, said that the network was only willing to revisit the “unique” character if they could find a creative take that was “worthy,” and they have “found it”.

The Latest: Arozarena strikes again, gives Rays 1-0 lead ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The Latest on Game 6 of the World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Tampa Bay Rays (all times local): Randy Arozarena extended his postseason record with his 10th home run and Blake Snell struck out the side as the Tampa Bay Rays took a 1-0 lead after the first inning in Game 6 of the World Series, when a win by the Los Angeles Dodgers would give them their first title since 1988.

  "No Regrets": 19 Times People Were Mercilessly Petty And Didn't Care One Bit "I found an old love letter he had written to me, so I decided to spray it with my perfume, glitter-bomb it, and mail it back to him. I found out later that it actually arrived on his birthday and made a huge mess. It was the perfect revenge, and I don’t regret it one bit." 1.   "I mailed cow poop to my stepdad for Father's Day. No regrets. Growing up, he was extremely abusive, especially to my brother, and would make fun of him for having ADHD and a physical disability. Of course, my mom was pissed.

The Voice • Blake Shelton • Gwen Stefani • Kelly Clarkson • Nbc

'The Voice': Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani Face Off Over a Singer in Season 19 Premiere Blake Shelton   and   Gwen Stefani   are happy to be back together on the new season of  The Voice   -- but they're not pulling any punches with each other! The couple wasted no time on Monday's season 19 premiere before they were facing off over a singer. Payge Turner, a 27-year-old crooner from Trinidad and Tobago, got an early chair turn from Blake as she covered The Weeknd's "Call Out My Name," but then Gwen hit her button just before the end of the song. "Why are you doing this to me?!" Blake exclaimed, as John Legend warned the hopeful singer, "You're about to break up America's couple!" Blake did his best to make a case for his team -- pointing out the fact that he turned much earlier than his ladylove -- but ultimately, Payge went for the glitz, girl power and cross-genre experience that Team Gwen had to offer. "I'm always l...
