A TV chef and a yo-yo trick champion have been making the rounds to TV stations in other parts of the Midwest (the parts west of here -- Illinois and Wisconsin) and claiming to make good food and can do tricks.
And, lo, neither can do either!
Every Batman needs a Robin, right?

I'm not a NASCAR fan, but I do know most of the drivers' names, and the tracks and so on. And I know how to read graphics on a TV screen.
We figured that NBC was blowing a bit of smoke in touting both Will Ferrell and the 'Anchorman' name for its new astronaut comedy pilot 'Mission Control,' but its first major casting is pure crystal. 'Breaking Bad' and 'Don't Trust the B in Apartment 23' star Krysten Ritter will blast off into the leading lady role, but will 'Mission Control' fall apart on the landing pad?
It's a tale as old as time; fall in love with a bright light from overseas, and we'll give them a ridiculous stateside sitcom. Like Rebel Wilson before her, 'Doctor Who' and 'Guardians of the Galaxy' favorite Karen Gillan will soon come to ABC in an American accent for forthcoming pilot 'Selfie,' courtesy of 'Suburgatory' creator Emily Kapnek.
Last night, Jimmy Fallon officially ushered in a new era of 'The Tonight Show' and, besides a move to New York City, already made the show his own. Can you imagine Jay Leno ever doing The Humpty Dance in a "The Evolution of Hip-Hop Dancing"?
After the history-making appearance on 'The Ed Sullivan Show,' fans didn't have to wait too long for another glimpse of the Beatles. On Feb. 16, 1964, only one week after their debut, the group performed again on the popular variety show.
Though ABC classic 'The Wonder Years' has been available to stream on Netflix in recent years, fans of the Fred Savage coming-of-age tale have no doubt noticed something amiss about the reproduction, specifically music replacements of the more iconic tracks included in the show. The series' prolific soundtrack and the expensive cost of licensing those songs had kept an official 'The Wonder Years' DVD on the shelf, but with the rights finally cleared away, the Arnold family will at long last come to home video!
Ralph Waite, a fixture on American TV screens during the 1972-1981 run of 'The Waltons,' died Thursday. He was 85.
It's the Throwback Thursday of all Throwback Thursdays. Actress Sarah Michelle Gellar sent us back to the late '90s and the early '00s when she tweeted a pic of herself and her former 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' co-stars Michelle Trachtenberg and Seth Green on set of her new show 'The Crazy Ones.'
We haven't heard much from 'SNL' since Melissa McCarthy hosted the pre-Super Bowl installment on February 1, but given NBC's coverage of the 2014 Winter Olympics, late night took an understandable back seat. Now, with the long-running sketch comedy series due to return on March 1, 'The Big Bang Theory' Emmy winner Jim Parsons will make his hosting debut!
Sid Caesar, one of the most beloved, respected and influential comic voices of all time, has passed away today at the age of 91.
