Q: Over the years and every now and then, "Showtime at the Apollo" is televised. Is there a chance it might make a comeback this year?

Because of its somewhat unusual production process, there's always a chance with "Showtime at the Apollo," but at the moment it's not a good chance.

The variety-competition show had an incredible 21-year run in syndication, from 1987 to 2008, had a brief revival on BET in the early 2010s, and then an even-briefer revival on Fox in 2018. That Fox revival was cancelled after a season, and there are no plans for yet another resurrection (at least not so far).

Game On, on CBS

With help from superstar athletes Rob Gronkowski and Venus Williams and their celebrity friends, two teams take on utterly outrageous and incredibly difficult feats of athleticism, ranging from kicking field goals to soccer drills and "human bowling."

Q: How many hosts have they had on "America's Got Talent"? It seems like they change every season.

It only seems like they change hosts every season, probably because the show's so breezy and quick -- it sweeps into our lives at the end of spring and is gone before the summer is over.

That said, there certainly have been a lot of hosts -- five of them across 15 seasons.

Main exits: It's not unusual to see an actor walk away from a starring role. It's just unexpected when it's the series lead and titular character.

Late Laughs for the week of June 14 - 20, 2020

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

That's right, we have the "Super Duper Missile." Of course, our enemies might soon develop a "Double Super Cool Missile." Then we'd have to counter with our "Awesome Times Infinity Missile," which you would think is unbeatable, unless the Russians finally achieve "Awesome Times Infinity Plus One" technology.
