The Beatles Mentioned on TV

I'm binge-watching "Van Helsing" on Netflix (Season 5 is on the SyFy channel right now)
The show is about a vampire "apocalypse" and Vanessa Van Helsing who can turn vampires back to human if she bites them. One character (Julius) who she turned back to human is standing and basking in the sun. This other character, impatient to get going, says "If you break out into Here Comes The Sun, I'm gonna leave your ass behind!"

Watching 48 Hours about an old guy named Forrest Fenn who around 2010 buried a (literal) treasure of gold coins, etc., then wrote a poem as a "treasure map" for people to try to find it. Each summer they would have a "Fennboree" where Fenn and all the treasure hunters would meet up. One gut said "I described it like meeting a Beatle!"
P.S. Five men died looking for the treasure (Drowned, fell off cliff, hypothermia, etc) but he refused to call off the hunt. Then in 2018 someone found it in Wyoming and a few months later Fenn died at age 90. The exact location has still not been revealed for fear of tourists ruining the natural beauty of the place.

NCIS: New Orleans series finale 5/23/21
They were discussing 3 suspects, one who they had already captured and interrogated, but he wouldn't say anything.
They were at the computer and the one character shows the photos of them and says "You already know Stuart Hendricks, the Quiet Beatle."

The final Jeopardy question had to do with music and geography and mentioned "Maggie May" - the answer was Botany Bay (apparently that was where Maggie ended up, the penal colony in Australia) Wikipedia doesn't mention that, but talks about the Beatles spelling it Mae and Rod Stewart using Maggie May for his (different) song.

Watched the Friends reunion last night on HBO Max. The producers were talking about when the cast was out in public together (like at the Grammys) One said "It's like the Beatles were there!"

(they showed a photo of Dhani and Paul onstage from The Concert for George and the clue was just read aloud)
Playing with this Beatles' son Dhani, Paul McCartney repeated the line "It looks like he stayed young and we all got old!"

The reason they said "repeated" was because Paul said it first privately to Olivia and asked her if it would be okay for him to repeat it to the audience.
