We are coming to you from Los Angeles, where what they call a "Safer At Home" order is in effect. Aren't we always safer at home?
China adopted this rectal test and it seems to have made an impact. In fact, they have not reported a single new local case of COVID-19 in more than a week. You know what? If our government was doing anal swabs, I'd stay inside, too. I think maybe that's the answer.

Q: I thought the actress who played the Taskmaster in "Black Widow" was excellent. What else has she done?
It's a bit reductive to call an actress a "Bond girl" — certainly one as accomplished as Olga Kurylenko — but it's a good place to start as it's how she came to fame.
Born in Ukraine, she got her start as a model in Russia. She soon switched to acting and, unsurprisingly, her international-type beauty had the Bond-film producers calling. She played Camille in the megahit 2008 film "Quantum of Solace," and, like so many Bond girls before her, used that exposure as a springboard to greater fame.

Big Brother, on CBS
Julie Chen hosts another new episode of this hit reality game show. Now in its 23rd season, a group of 'Houseguests' share a specially constructed home equipped with cameras and microphones and no access to the outside world. The last guest standing wins.
Q: Who plays Mrs. Pat on the Toyota commercials? I've searched everywhere and can't find the answer.
Alas, there's no single database or website devoted to tracking commercial actors (unlike the ones for film and Broadway actors), but in the absence of a formal system for giving credit, there's still good, old-fashioned gratitude.
For that reason, I'm able to tell you that Kristen O'Meara plays the wife on the series of commercials featuring Pat Finn as an overenthusiastic Toyota buyer/owner.
