Unless people have accessed very old re-runs of the tonight show, only the old timers here will remember the early Newhart stand-up routine, which was Bob alone on a dark stage with a stool and a prop telephone. He would do the 'one side of the conversation' shtick, and he was  hilarious.

This is kind of wild. Grover Cleveland 22nd and 24th U.S. President. Was born in 1837 his grandson George Cleveland is still living and is only 62!

John Tyler, the tenth president, has a grandson still alive.  Age 95.  That grandson is  also a descendant of Pocahontas thru his mother.

Following up…. John Tyler had the most kids of any president. 8 with his first wife.  With his second, Julia Gardner he had seven.  One of those, Lyon, who John had when he was 63, had a son when he was 65 who is still alive today.  John Tyler had a daughter who died 157 years after he died.

Something is wrong here.

Love the Olympics.  Every 4 years me and the gf act like we know everything about sports we only watch once every 4 years.  

They need to broadcast more team handball and rugby 7s.  Those look like fun.

Not sure where this goes since we don’t have an Olympics thread or a thread of massive fail.

The Men’s 100M is probably the biggest single event of any Summer Games.  It’s 10 seconds once every 4 years for the title fastest man on Earth.  This is the call of Noah Lyles historic win by Leigh Diffey of NBC Sports.  
 

Ugh.  Talk about play by play miss.  This will go down in history as one of the worst calls of a big moment.
