Q: Wasn't there once a sitcom version of "Animal House"? What happened to that?
The 1970s happened to it, meaning that, ultimately, nothing happened to it.
Most post-mortem discussions of "Delta House," the 1979 TV adaptation of the 1978 big-screen comedy classic "National Lampoon's Animal House," say that it failed because of censorship.

Piece of cake: Rudolph, Samberg move from comedy to 'Baking It'

Q: Is the guy who played Jason's friend on "The Good Place" the same actor who was in "Kong: Skull Island"? What else can you tell me about him? I thought he was great in both, even though they're very different roles.
"Kong: Skull Island" (2017) is indeed a bit of an outlier on Eugene Cordero's resume. His role as Pillboi on "The Good Place," on the other hand, was right up his alley.
Like so many of today's comedy favorites, he came up through the Upright Citizens Brigade comedy troupe. Since then, he's become a main player in TV creator Michael Schur's personal troupe.

Q: It seems that Rizzo the Rat isn't in the Muppet cast anymore. What happened? He and Gonzo made a good team.
It depends who you ask. Some say he was dropped as part of the high-profile firing of Muppeteer Steve Whitmire ("CAVE iN"), but if you ask Rizzo himself, he was shouldered out to make room for a new guy. Either way, it ain't pretty.
