Hello everyone! We're going into #TheUpdate vault to play one of our many episodes throughout our many years of the show. For today's episode, we go into the world of 2020- or as we call it around here, Year 4 of The Update. It was a weird year- starting off in the WKRB studios and then going out on the road (in the middle of a pandemic no less!), but somehow, we found a way to make it work. Oh, and one last thing about this episode- after the show aired, one of my former producers who happened to be listening to the show called me up and invited me out to lunch. How about that? 

Could this be the ice-cold truth? A former cruise singer is explaining the eerie reason why cruise lines have free ice cream parties for passengers on board.

And it's the end of an era in Washington as Mitch McConnell says he'll step down as Senate Republican leader in November. The 82-year-old Kentucky lawmaker is the longest-serving Senate leader in history.

It's our 7 year anniversary- thanks for supporting us all this time. Keep your bougie meals — Americans would rather eat comfort food than fine dining for the rest of their lives. At least, that’s according to a new poll. In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Wednesday, A Queens furniture store that had been illegally converted into sleeping quarters for more than 40 migrants has been shut down by city officials. Meanwhile, Mayor Eric Adams is calling for expanded cooperation between local police and federal immigration authorities.
