A little of this and a little of that

 Dick Van Dyke, still going strong at 98, earned a Daytime Emmy Award Friday for a guest gig on Days of Our Lives (now on Peacock), making him the oldest nominee and award winner in Emmy history.

That leads us to ask, what's next?
===============================================
With Wheel of Fortune turning 50 next year, that might be the next time you see Pat Sajak on the show.

Sajak closed out a 43 year run, between network daytime and evening syndication, as host, on Friday night, and took the time after the game ended early to address the audience.


Ryan Seacrest (American Top 40, American Idol) takes over in September. The real question is, will Sony acknowledge the series' full history, dating back to 1975? We'll see.
=============================================
As it celebrates 55 years on the air this fall, Sesame Street is finally making the move to comic books.

Oni Press has obtained a license to adapt the long running series into a 4 issue miniseries, set to launch in August. Given that Oni is also home to the comics version of Rick & Morty, the popular [adult swim] series, I'd guess the license came from Warner Bros. Discovery more than it did from Sesame Workshop. We'll see if this leads to more comics adventures with Big Bird, Grover, Bert & Ernie, and the rest of the gang.
