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.

Joe Biden’s farewell speech was as angry, divisive, and WAY past his bedtime!  I’m Tomi Lahren, more next.  The DNC officially put Joe out to pasture and to add insult to injury, they timed it way past his bedtime.  Monday night marked Joe’s swan song. His last dance, if you will, before his “friends” in the Democrat Party officially sent him to the glue factory.  And they didn’t even have the decency to do it during Joe’s typical waking hour of 10-4. No, they made him give it at 11:25pmET, way past his beddy-bye time! For that reason, I ALMOST...

Meghan Markle's venture into the lifestyle space has not been met with universal acclaim, particularly from one well-known figure: Martha Stewart. Earlier this year, in March, Meghan unveiled her new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard. The brand immediately drew comparisons to other celebrity wellness empires, particularly that of culinary icon Martha Stewart. However, these comparisons have reportedly struck a nerve with Stewart, who finds them both "irritating and insulting."
