The Scoop for May 8, 2017

Choking on a bug on live TV; Kevin Bacon is famous and loves it; Steve Seagal gets banned; and maybe even more Seacrest.

BONUS SCOOPAGE:
Emma Watson won the Best Actor award for “Beauty and the Beast” at the MTV Movie and TV Awards. This is kind of a big deal, because it’s the first award that was gender neutral. In other words, there wasn’t a Best Male/Best Female Actor/Actress award. It was just “Best Actor”, which, when you think about it, makes a lot of sense. On a side note, I’ve been re-reading and re-watching the Harry Potter books and movies. I don’t know why, I just have, don’t judge me.
