For 18 seasons, “Deadliest Catch” has been one of the most popular reality series’ on television…and this season has been particularly interesting since Alaska shut down the King Crab season and everyone is scrambling for what to do to save their livelihoods.
And over the years, one of the favorite subjects of the show is the captain of the Summer Bay, “Wild” Bill Wichrowski…and we caught up with this morning to find out what the future holds for him, the industry and the show…oh and in his 2nd love, NASCAR!

John Michael Higgins is one of our favorite comedic actors.

He’s turned in scene stealing performances in movies like, “Best In Show”, “Walk Hard” and “A Mighty Wind”…he’s garnered rave reviews for his work in the Peacock Network reboot of “Saved By The Bell”…and these days, he’s hosting the Game Show Network’s “America Says”, now in it's 5th season...and we caught up with him this morning to see what else is goin’ on it his world!

Every once in a while, we all need to hear a great story, which leads us to do something amazing for someone…and this is one of those instances…
Cranston RI resident Victor Butler is one of a handful of men known as The Tuskeegee Airmen still alive.

The Tuskegee Airmen were a group of primarily black military pilots (fighter and bomber) and airmen who fought in WW2. Men who fought for a country that, sadly, didn’t know much about them at the time, and had to fight for recognition at every turn because of racism.

And as Victor approaches his 100th birthday on May 21st, all this man wants is birthday cards from people all over the country.
So, takes some time today and make a true American hero’s day.
Send your cards to:

Victor W. Butler c/o Gary Butler.

P.O. Box 3523, Cranston, Rhode Island, 02910.
