Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Alexa Grasso lost a head-to-head matchup with Valentina Shevchenko, but her team came out on top on this week’s episode of The Ultimate Fighter 32. Shevchenko handily beat Grasso in this season’s Coaches Challenge, this time comprised of a basketball shooting contest, only to see her lone featherweight semifinalist fall in disappointing fashion. Team Grasso’s Kaan Ofli (10-2-1) barely needed a minute to secure a guillotine choke on Team Bullet’s Roedie Roets (7-1) and advance to the TUF 32 finals.
