New York City is the latest city to hop on the legal cannabis train, and a lot of people are really excited about it. Like Pete Davidson.
Sure, it’s about 12 years late to help with his police record, but still. He’s happy. You can see it in his eyes.
No offense to Pete Davidson, but he’s got some of that Steve Buscemi thing going on, so his eyes don’t look happy so much as tired. Of course, it could just be the cannabis…


If you’ve seen Aaron Rodgers guest hosting on Jeopardy, you know they are having a tough time finding a solid host. So it makes sense that a petition to get LeVar Burton to be the permanent host is gaining momentum.

If you’ve ever wanted to see Josh Groban sing a three-minute song about beans, you’re in luck.
