  • Everything’s coming up King of the Hill! Alamo Beer is becoming a reality, Daily Show correspondent Ronny Chieng is taking over the role of Kahn in the upcoming revival, and Hank Hill is rumored to be an upcoming skin in Fortnite.
  • Former Bob’s Burgers voice actor Jay Johnston has been pardoned by President Trump for his actions in the January 6, 2021 fun run, per his fiancĂ©e.
  • The Cleveland Show voice actor David Lynch has died.
  • Seth MacFarlane’s doodle of Brian to thank the firefighters battling the devastating Los Angeles wildfires: charming, cute, inspiring. The Simpsons version put out a week later: maudlin, stiff, indistinguishable from DeviantArt.
