Family Guy April 29, 2019
Lois goes on a de-cluttering binge until there’s nothing left in their house.
She says: That de-cluttering thing was nice for awhile, but I definitely went overboard.
Peter says: On the bright side, our sparse white living room looks like the John Lennon & Yoko Ono “Imagine” living room!
(they then show Peter at the white piano with Lois at his side)
Peter says: We can’t afford “Imagine” so just imagine this is “Imagine.” He begins singing to the tune of “Camptown Races”:
”Boop Boop Diddy Dee Dee Dee, Imagine, Imagine. No religion, nothing matters, everything is bad!”
-
On Entertainment Tonight they were showing them tearing down the sets of The Big Bang Theory and one of the hosts noticed and remarked “They’re playing The Beatles song Help! in the background!”

Jeopardy category tonight: Beatles Songs By Lyric
The 3 contestants were terrible! They kept adding words to the title, like “I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends” or leaving words off: “Love” instead of “All You Need Is Love.” They managed to somehow get “Back In The U.S.S.R.” and “Lovely Rita, “ but said “Baby You Can Drive My Car” and Alex Trebek said that was correct!! Then after that the judges decided that even though they added words to WALHFMF, they gave the guy the points! Jeez!
-
On the British HBO comedy special “My Dad Wrote A Porno” the son is reading the very bad, but hysterical book. (I laughed so hard I cried!) There are 2 other comedians giving commentary.
”Suddenly the girls heard the sound of the Regional Sales Managers.”
Comedian James Cooper says “It’s like The Beatles have arrived!”
”Dave Wilcox.” (The reader says - “The Ringo of the group.” because he doesn’t get near as much applause as the other 3 when he reads their names!)
-
An American Idol contestant sang Hey Jude last night, and contestants from The Voice

On Jeopardy, the category was “Add Some Consonants.” The answer was, “A John Lennon classic: IAIE.” They correctly answered, “What is Imagine?”

Stephen Colbert had the cast of The Big Bang Theory on last night. He asked them when they knew the show was really a hit. The guy who played Howard said that during the 2nf season when they were in Mexico at the airport and people started running after them. Colbert says, “Like the Beatles?!”
Tonight on the special “Meghan & Harry Plus One” they were talking about how Meghan is getting the “Yoko Ono” treatment (as if she’s breaking up the relationship between William & Harry) They showed a photo of Yoko, John and Paul.

Danny Boyle (director) and actors Himesh Patel and Lily James were on The Graham Norton Show last night discussing the movie “Yesterday” and Himesh played and sang a bit of it with the guitar he first uses in the movie. Danny Boyle said that securing the rights to use about 20 Beatles songs was the 2nd highest amount he had ever spent on a movie. ($10 million) #1 was Leonardo Dicaprio’s salary in The Beach in 2000 ($20 million!)
