\u27a2 A\u00a0Price Is Right<\/em>\u00a0contestant named Andrew jumped for joy on an episode that aired last week, perhaps thinking he\u2019d won the prize of a lifetime \u2015 a $12,000 trip for four to Game 4 of the 2020 Stanley Cup Finals. But this seasons NHL championship is in serious jeopardy of not happening at all after the league suspended operations amid the coronavirus pandemic. According to the\u00a0Price Is Right<\/em>\u00a0website, the episode was taped on Feb. 24. The league\u2019s announcement came on March 12 as sport after sport was shutting down.\u00a0HuffPost<\/em>\u00a0reached out to the game show to ask if and how Andrew will be compensated if this year\u2019s final is never played. But for now, viewers feel Andrews pain.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u27a2 This could easily become one of the most sought-after All In Challenges of them all:\u00a0 The cast of\u00a0“Friends”<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0is offering YOU a chance to attend the taping of their HBO Max reunion special.<\/p>\n The winner and FIVE friends get airfare and a one-night hotel stay.\u00a0 They’ll also have coffee with the cast and, quote, “get the whole\u00a0‘Friends’<\/em>\u00a0VIP experience on the Warner Brothers Studio Tour.” There’s no word WHEN this is happening.\u00a0 The show was supposed to tape earlier this year, but it was put off due to the pandemic.<\/p>\n And if they end up doing the show without a live audience, they promise to offer the winner SOME kind of in-person experience with the cast.<\/p>\n To enter, hit up\u00a0Fanatics.com\u00a0and donate to the COVID-19 relief effort.\u00a0 The more you give, the more chances you have to win.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u27a2 The Faroe Islands are halfway between Norway and Iceland.\u00a0 And their department of tourism is getting creative.\u00a0 They’re\u00a0having<\/a>\u00a0locals strap cameras on their heads, and letting people explore by controlling their movements online, like a video game character.\u00a0 Here’s part of the\u00a0video<\/a>\u00a0they posted about it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u27a2 Even in the midst of his fight against stage 4 pancreatic cancer, Alex Trebek is finding ways to spread a message of hope. He announced that he\u2019s written a memoir called \u201cThe Answer Is\u2026: Reflections on My Life\u201d, which will be released on July 21. Trebek has been resisting requests that he write a memoir for decades. But after he announced his diagnosis in March 2019, he was so moved by the letters and words of support he received that he decided to share his story. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n TODAY IS\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n _____________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n COUNTRY MUSIC NOTE<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong>John Michael Montgomery<\/strong>‘s “I Can Love You Like That” began a three-week stay at #1 in 1995\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n _____________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n THE LAST DANCE<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n ESPN aired the first two episodes of its\u00a0MICHAEL JORDAN<\/strong>\u00a0documentary\u00a0“The Last Dance”<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0on Sunday night, and people are getting a kick out of the way former presidents<\/p>\n BILL CLINTON<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0BARACK OBAMA<\/strong>\u00a0are\u00a0identified\u00a0on the show.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When Obama appears, it doesn’t say former PRESIDENT.\u00a0 It says “Former Chicago Resident” . . . and when Clinton is onscreen, he’s identified as the “Former Arkansas Governor”.<\/p>\n It’s funny, but it also makes sense.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Clinton appears in the doc to talk about\u00a0SCOTTIE PIPPEN’s<\/strong>\u00a0days at the University of Central Arkansas.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And Obama gives insight into what Chicago was like when Jordan joined the Bulls.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n On a related note, check out a clip of Michael describing how shocked he was as a rookie, when he walked in on his teammates partying.<\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n FOUR RANDOM FACTS <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n ____________________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n GOOD NEWS <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Toys for Tots\u00a0won’t wait for Christmas this year.\u00a0 They want to lift kids’ spirits, so they’re sending out TWO MILLION toys to underprivileged kids all over the country.\u00a0 Hasbro, Lego, Disney, and Build-A-Bear are all helping with donations.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n A family in Ohio bought 5,000 Subway sandwiches, and handed them out to healthcare workers.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The last Blockbuster on Earth is in Bend, Oregon, and the owners\u00a0refuse\u00a0to let the coronavirus take it down.\u00a0 They’re offering curbside pickup and say there are still people out there who rent movies the old fashioned way.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A guy in Long Island has raised thousands of dollars for a hospital after they saved his life twice.\u00a0 Once as a baby, and now again after a battle with COVID-19<\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n BIRTHDAYS <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n [83] Jack Nicholson, actor\/3-time Oscar winner (\u201cAs Good As It Gets\u201d, \u201cOne Flew Over the Cuckoo\u2019s Nest\u201d, \u201cTerms of Endearment\u201d)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [54] Jeffrey Dean Morgan, actor (Negan on \u201cThe Walking Dead\u201d since 2016)<\/p>\n ___________________________________________________________________________________________\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n 54% of Us Are Cooking More Right Now, and Snacking Is at an All-Time High<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Have you been cooking more than usual because of the outbreak?\u00a0 Over HALF of Americans have been, according to a new poll.\u00a0 Here are seven stats on how the crisis has changed our cooking and eating habits . . .<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n ____________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n AUSTRALIAN FAMILY RECREATES 15-HOUR VACATION FLIGHT IN LIVING ROOM <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Usually people don\u2019t enjoy being on long flights, but whatever.

Adweek reports that during the month of March, Americans bought $275 million worth of frozen pizza, which is an increase of 92 percent from the same time period the previous year (and some brands have reported increased sales as much as 190 percent.) The possibility of a frozen pizza shortage caused a stir on social media.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n <\/p>\n LUKE BRYAN TO PERFORM DURING NFL DRAFT <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Luke Bryan<\/strong>\u00a0will appear during this year\u2019s 2020 NFL Draft performing \u201cPlay It Again\u201d as part of Verizon\u2019s #PayItForwardLIVE Series.
