FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE 2014 SEASON, WE HAVE A CHANCE:  Frozen: The Musical will arrive on Broadway in Spring 2018.  So, who are you casting?
1990S FLASHBACK NOTES:  Ever wonder what happened to Bubbles the Chimp? Like many aging primates, he's living it up in South Florida at an ape sanctuary which tends to former showbiz celebs.  There is no word on whether he's had the chance to enjoy the early bird at Wolfie's Rascal House, and don't you dare remind me that they closed in 2008.

In other news, tonight is White Ford Bronco night on The People vs O.J. Simpson, and if it's as good as the pilot episode, you will want to watch, and not just for the gratuitous Kardashian Kids references. So much fun.
MIND YOUR OWN CHEDDAR BAY BISCUITS:  Perhaps courtesy of Beyonce, Red Lobster's sales on Sunday were up 33% from the prior year's numbers.

I WAS THERE TO MATCH MY INTELLECT ON NATIONAL TV:  Ever wonder what happens on Jeopardy! for one of their two-week tournaments, when there's a tie in determining the final entrants based on most dollars among those who didn't win their individual nights? Because it happened in the present college tournament, and it's kind of a clusterfuck.
IMAGINE YOU WERE GOING TO BE A WAITER, BUT YOU DIDN'T KNOW WHAT SORT OF WAITER YOU WERE GOING TO BE AHEAD OF TIME:  John Rawls and Robert Nozick walk into a restaurant.
