Disney is pulling The Simpsons off of traditional television broadcast and moving to produce subscriber-only streaming episodes of the beloved Fox sitcom. When Disney purchased 21st Century Fox in 2019, it took ownership of notable superhero franchises that Marvel Studios had its eyes on for years, like the X-Men and the Fantastic Four. So far, that has paid off with the billion-dollar box office gross of Deadpool & Wolverine, and the Mouse is counting on the upcoming Fantastic Four: First Steps to do the same.

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.

	Christiansen went viral for his love of the Olympic Village’s gooey chocolate muffins (as a long-distance swimmer, he’s explained that the delicacies slide right into his 7,000-calories-a-day diet), one of several Olympic stars to win at meme-ing if not the actual sport that brought them to France.
