Q: How did Whoopi Goldberg end up being on "Star Trek: The Next Generation"?
She did it by asking.
In 1988, when she debuted in the role of Guinan, the starship Enterprise's bartender, Goldberg was an A-list star. She had just finished starring in a couple of hit films that were built to showcase her specific comedic persona and she had also earned an Oscar nomination a couple of years earlier for her role in the much more serious "The Color Purple" (1985).

Mike Tyson: The Knockout, on ABC
Dive deep into the life of boxing legend Mike Tyson in the first part of this two-part, four-hour documentary event. From his childhood as a bullied youth to the height of his career and all the scandal and quirk in between, Tyson shares his experiences.
Q: Why did Ernie Sabella, who did the original "The Lion King" (1994), not do the voice of Pumbaa the warthog in the 2019 live-action version? They gave it to Seth Rogen instead.
Ernie Sabella himself has a theory about that: a generational shift.
