Reporters are supposed to report any piece of news without emotion or reaction of any kind. But heck, reporters are people, too, and when Mika Brzezinski learns what a furry is she can’t contain herself.

Cats chasing lasers is one of my favorite pastimes. It can be hilarious but some cats get overheated and pant badly so you have to be careful.

Wookies aren’t so different from us after all.
A viral YouTube video showcases Chewbacca performing a rousing rendition of “Silent Night” in Shyriiwook — the language of the Wookie.
Han Solo’s hairiest best bud belts out the Christmas classic using audio and video snippets from the “Star Wars” movies.
As it turns out, the out-of-this-world track was originally compiled in 1999 by web developer Scott Andersen, who paired the movies’ audio with a Yamaha keyboard, according to Andersen’s website.
“Once I had my sound clips, I determined the pitch of each one and made sure I had all of the notes I needed for ‘Silent Night.’ I was missing a few, so I had to pitch shift them in my audio editing software,” Anderson recalled

Paul Lynde, of course, was well known for being the Center Square on Hollywood Squares for most of the 1970s; but here he is one of the folks roasting Dean Martin at Dean's expense:

Wow. Look at the attendees at that Dean Martin roast. It is like a who's who in American popular culture at the time. Even Barry Goldwater and Muhammad Ali...Orson Welles too.

GOOD NEWS!!!After 25 years, 'The Far Side' is back -- with an online debut and new comicsBy Chris Boyette, CNN www.cnn.com/2019/12/18/entertainment/gary-larson-far-side-return-trnd/?hpt=ob_blogfooterold Updated 11:34 AM ET, Wed December 18, 2019
(CNN)Nearly 25 years ago, when Gary Larson retired from drawing his iconic single-panel cartoon that ran daily in newspapers from 1980 to 1995, he didn't think much about what the budding internet might have to do with his work.
"I never once foresaw any connection between this emergent technology and my cartoons," Larson said in a letter posted to TheFarSide.com, the official website of the cartoon which launched Monday with a selection of classic cartoons, never-before-seen sketches from inside Larson's sketchbooks, and a letter from the cartoonist explaining why all these years later, his offbeat characters and comics have a home online.
And to celebrate 2020, the fortieth anniversary of "The Far Side," the site will occasionally premier brand new work from Larson.
Larson said changes in technology eventually convinced him the time had come for his cartoon creations to go digital.
Three comedians take on the spiciest tailgating challenge of their lives. But will they be able to handle the heat once the Scoville skyrockets?
"It's always been inherently awkward to chase down a Far Side--festooned website when the person behind it is often simply a fan. (Although not everyone is quite so uncomplicated in their motives; my cartoons have been taken and used to help sell everything from doughnuts to rodent control. At least I offer range.)," Larson wrote of his ongoing battle against copyright infringement.
But the cartoonist said trying to exert his control over his cartoons had become "an uphill slog," and that he hoped the new website would help.
"Please, whoever you are, taketh down my cartoons and let this website become your place to stop by for a smile, a laugh, or a good ol' fashioned recoiling," he wrote.
Larson wrote he appreciated technological advancements in security -- though he noted the possibility of having his site compromised. But a big technological advancement that convinced Larson his cartoons could live online was the advancement of graphics.
"Man, did those old computer screens suck when it came to visual nuances," Larson wrote, explaining that he didn't previously feel the details and minutiae of his cartoons could be properly seen on monitors displaying online content. "On today's computers and devices, voilà!" Larson wrote.
At the time of Larson's retirement from daily syndication in 1995, The Far Side appeared in nearly two thousand newspapers, forty million books and seventy-seven million calendars sold and been translated into more than seventeen languages, according to The Far Side's long-time publisher and host of the website, Andrews McMeel Universal.
Now the characters, creations and cartoons of The Far Side can add the world wide web to the list of accolades.
The cartoonist closed his letter with one more message to fans, "I hope all the reasons I've given here help explain why I'm so late to this party. But I'm finally here. And I could use a drink."
