3 The Daily Star, Oneonta, N.Y., Friday, May 15, 2020 By Breanna Henry TV Media T he absence of sports has been keenly felt and a major talking point dur- ing the coronavirus pandemic. While the first North American case of COVID-19 was report- ed on Jan. 21, it wasn't until the NBA officially suspended its season on March 11 that things "got real" for many. This was the same day the World Health Organization de- clared the virus a pandemic, but let's be honest — the NBA has more than four times the Twitter followers of the WHO, and when you're talking about more than 30 million people, the impact of the major leagues' responses to the crisis is hard to argue. This year's Major League Baseball season was post- poned just as spring training started. Though an announce- ment was made on March 9 that both training and the reg- ular season would proceed as scheduled, the league began announcing increasingly strict precautionary measures just three days later. ESPN report- ed that the MLB's "Arizona Plan" — in which all of the league's teams and players would quarantine in a single city and play all games in that city's stadium — looks to be the league's best option for the remainder of 2020, but nothing has been made offi- cial yet. At the end of April, season-ticket holders filed a class action lawsuit against MLB for denying refunds. Technicalities and the "up in the air" nature of the situation is going to make it a tough battle for both parties.

Why do people knock when they already know the door is locked? It's not like I'm going to change my mind and be like, "Oh, this must be important. Come on in!" The Late Show with Stephen Colbert It sounds like [President Trump's] first instinct was to maybe let a lot of people die. Now, that seems monstrous, but Trump was just following the advice of Secretary of Commerce Thanos. Your propaganda sucks! All-caps black letters on a white background? Helvetica? Are you boasting about your accomplishments or offering to teach us guitar? This is a briefing about the coronavirus crisis — with all due respect, what does YumBrands know about that? They own Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and KFC — delicious all, but famously, the Colonel only does one thing really well, and it's not deep- fried epidemiology. I mean, for Pete's sake, we're not even supposed to touch out faces, and the Colonel keeps tempting us to lick our fingers! Blocking empty streets is like streaking in your shower: it doesn't count. The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon A new "Bachelor" spinoff called "Listen to Your Heart" premiered, where 20 singles try to connect romantically by making music together. So, if you think it's bad when a guy whips out an acoustic guitar at a party, imagine the entire party is filled with that guy. A 93-year-old Pennsylvania woman went viral after putting a sign in her window that read, "I need more beer." It was funny until everyone realized it was a 33-year-old woman who's been having a rough quarantine. Former president Obama endorsed Joe Biden for president. Obama said he knew Biden was the right candidate once he was absolutely sure Michelle wasn't running. Burger King just introduced a new sandwich called the Roasted Garlic King, which is a burger with a thick garlic sauce. Burger King said, "If this doesn't keep people six feet apart, nothing will." The Late Late Show with James Corden A man in Oklahoma was recently arrested for attempted burglary, and here's the odd part: when he was arrested, he was wearing a T-shirt that says, "Ain't nothing illegal 'til you get caught." The man didn't read the label closely enough before putting on the shirt, because it clearly says, "Machine wash. Tumble dry. Do not wear to commit crimes." Jimmy Kimmel Live I'm in a house. Doing a show. To no one. I'm beginning to understand why Mr. Rogers started using puppets on his show. Easter is a tough one during a pandemic. You know, every two minutes we're telling our kids to wash their hands, and then all of a sudden we're like, "Yes, go ahead and eat those jellybeans you found in a bush." Walmart reports that sales of hair clippers and hair color have skyrocketed over the past two weeks. Do you really need to color your hair right now? Who are you trying to impress, your cat? Late Night With Seth Meyers In a video message yesterday, President Trump wished Americans a Happy Easter and said, "We have a lot to be thankful for." A lot to be thankful for? We're all on lockdown due to a global pandemic. The only things we have to be thankful for are medical professionals and hard liquor. late laughs Future unknown: Major leagues respond to crisis sportszone screenscramble Unscramble the letters for each word to reveal five movies and TV shows.
