In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

Austin Dillon snagged his first NASCAR Cup Series win in two seasons at the Cook Out 400 in Richmond, Virginia. The race concluded with a controversial finish where Dillon, starting in 32nd place in the points standings, bumped leader Joey Logano, sending him into the catchfence, and then made contact with Denny Hamlin to clinch victory by just 0.116 seconds. This win earned Dillon a spot in the Playoffs, elevating him to championship contention from his previous low ranking. His daring move sparked mixed reactions among competitors, particularly from Logano and Hamlin, who criticized Dillon’s aggressive tactics as reckless. This victory represents a significant turnaround for Dillon, who hadn’t won in 68 races.
