Leverage: Redemption, Season 1, Episode 16
The group on the show thinks that one of the members is retiring and Elliot says to her, “Well, that was a hell of a final performance Miss Devereux. Kind of like watching The Beatles at Shea!”
She says, “I don’t think that was my final performance.”
(“Performance” refers to their capers which involve using their skills they formally used as criminals - theft, hacking computers, grifting, etc. - for good, to help people)Also on Lopez vs. Lopez, George Lopez called his white son-in-law Gringo Starr.

On the show Mean Girl Murders (real life stories on the ID channel) the victim Debbie meets this guy Jason Griffith who is an established performer in Las Vegas. The narrator says “He had the background from Juilliard in NY, he performed at the LOVE show which was The Beatles huge show out there. LOVE is part of the Cirque du Soleil world which sits at the top of the Vegas hierarchy.”
P.S. It turned out it was someone else who killed her.

Just got this in an email!
SUNDAY: The success of Netflix’s recent Harry & Meghan docuseries suggests our obsession with the willingly exiled Duke of Sussex and his bride has not abated. In anticipation of next week’s publication of Prince Harry’s memoir Spare, he begins his U.S. media blitz with a double-length segment on TV’s leading newsmagazine, interviewed by Anderson Cooper. (The night’s other segment is a profile by Lesley Stahl of prolific film composer Hans Zimmer, which is kind of like being one of the other acts booked on the night The Beatles first performed on The Ed Sullivan Show.)

Jeopardy 1/13/23
I Said Dance! For $400That’s Natalie Portman in the video for “Dance Tonight” from this ex-Beatle’s album “Memory Almost Full”

NOBODY EVEN GUESSED! They had a 50/50 chance of getting it right since Natalie wasn’t old enough to be in a John or George video since they’re long gone!
(she was born the year after John was murdered, so I guess technically she could have been in a George video) -

On Ozzy and Jack's World Detour they were traveling through Georgia and were about to go to an Elvis museum. Ozzy says "We're going to see Elvis' wart? It's like seeing John Lennon's f*&%ing skid mark!" Jack: "Which probably would go for a lot of money!" Side note: The women who owns all the Elvis stuff said that she was offered $1,000,000 for the wart! She didn't say how much she paid for it, just that it was "a lot of money."
So it's true! Ppl like Elvis warts and all

My reply liking your post here about Elvis was removed. I don’t think the Mod knows what the definition of a rim shot is:
rim·shot
/ˈrimˌSHät/noun
noun: rim-shot
1.
a drum stroke in which the stick strikes the rim and the head of the drum simultaneously.It is used in comedy to accentuate when something is funny!

Name That Tune 1/25/23
Clue: Simply put, former Beatle knows how to bring holiday joy.
I immediately knew without hearing a note that the tune was “Wonderful Christmastime.” Neither one of the contestants got it even after hearing the maximum of 10 notes. The one guy came close, but just said “Christmastime.”
