The Beatles Mentioned on TV
-
On The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, he was introducing his guest, Xolo Mariduena who is in the Netflix series Cobra Kai, but has a new movie coming up. I had the closed captioning on and it identified the movie as "Blue Beatle" when it is actually "Beetle!"

The Graham Norton Show
Eric Idle discussing being on The Masked Singer as The Hedgehog:
Graham:Â You sang a Beatles song!
Eric:Â I did, I sang Love Me Do. I like that song. It's not easy to get a Beatles song. And a friend of mine said "Why don't you ask Paul because he wrote it when he was 16 and it's not a Beatles copyright, it's Paul's copyright." So I wrote him a letter and I said "Can I use your song?" And he said "Alright, of course you can. But please tell me when the show airs so I can be sure to miss it!" So I wrote to him to tell him when it was on and I said "It may not be the best rendition you've ever heard of Love Me Do, but it's the best ever done by a hedgehog!"
P.S. Graham Norton is famous for using the word "do" in that manner, such as "Have a seat, do." I guess technically the song should have been "Love Me, Do!"
