John Krasinski once shared one of the funniest celebrity travel stories during his appearance on The Graham Norton Show, and fans still love it years later.

While going through customs in London to visit his wife, Emily Blunt, a customs officer recognized him from "The Office" and casually asked him why he was in the UK. When Krasinski replied that he was visiting his wife, the officer asked who he was married to.

According to the story, the moment Krasinski answered “Emily Blunt,” the officer stopped stamping his passport, looked up in complete surprise, and said, “You?” before asking if he was serious.

The funny story went viral instantly thanks to Krasinski’s self-deprecating humor and the couple’s famous and endearing dynamic. After more than a decade of marriage, John Krasinski and Emily Blunt remain one of Hollywood’s most beloved celebrity couples.

If you pitched this as a screenplay, every studio would reject it for being too on-the-nose.

Fernando Mendoza was a 2-star recruit ranked 2,149th in his high school class. Zero FBS scholarship offers. Not one. He walked on at Cal, fought for a starting job, transferred to Indiana for his senior year, then led them to 16-0 and the first national title in school history. Heisman, Walter Camp, Maxwell, Davey O'Brien, Manning, Big Ten MVP. 41 TDs, 72% completion, 8-to-0 TD-to-INT ratio in the playoffs.

The Raiders took him #1 overall Thursday night. $54.56M fully guaranteed. Only the third player ever to win the Heisman, win a national championship, and go first overall the next spring. Burrow. Newton. Mendoza.

Then he skipped Pittsburgh.

The biggest stage in football, the moment every kid imagines from the second they pick up a ball, and Fernando watched the call from his living room in Florida because his mom Elsa is in a wheelchair and the travel is hard for her. She was diagnosed with MS when he was 4. She wrote a letter to her sons in The Players Tribune in 2015 promising the disease "won't affect us in the ways that matter."

The part nobody talks about: while every other top pick was on stage, Fernando announced the Mendoza Family Fund the same day. $500K personal donation to the National MS Society. Committed to raising $1M over three years. He hasn't taken an NFL snap and he's already given more to a cause than most players donate in a full career.

He and his brother Alberto have already raised $360K through the Mendoza Bros. Burger at BuffaLouie's in Bloomington. At Christmas, he handed four families dealing with MS $10,000 each for an Adidas shopping spree.

Both his parents are children of Cuban refugees who fled Castro. His dad rowed at Brown, won a Junior World Championship in 1987, and played high school football in Miami next to a teammate named Mario Cristobal. Fernando beat his dad's old teammate in the national championship game in January.

Every athlete talks about playing for their family. Fernando actually did it.

🦇 Happy #BatAppreciationDay!

Here at Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance, we're home to a bachelor pad of five Indian flying foxes: Khirni, Bilimbi, Chikoo, Jamun, and Karonda. They’re named after fruits native to the regions of South and Central Asia where their wild counterparts roam.

Indian flying foxes are frugivores, meaning they dine on fruit, flowers, and nectar. And they're not just adorable eaters; they're vital pollinators, dropping seeds as they feed and helping regrow native plant life across their range.

We know bats can get a bad rap, but our animal care team will tell you: spending time with these guys changes everything. They're shy at first, but with patience and training, they're eager to hang out.

They’re currently behind the scenes for maintenance work on their habitat, but you can see them soon in Village Hall!

They were definitely at this same rink back in the 70s, back when the music was louder, the wheels were louder, and these three ruled the floor like absolute kings.

You can still tell they owned this place back in the day!🔥🛼

Happy Birthday, Marilu Henner.
Before playing Elaine on Taxi, she performed on Broadway. This performance of “Lullaby of Broadway” with the rest of the iconic cast is one of the most joyful things ever put on screen. And she looks stunning.

That mother was very brave. She overcame so much just to be that close to her baby with all that chaos and noise going on.

This is how I want my tax dollars spent. 💯😂

There is a special place in Heaven for people who rescue animals.❤️

Bill Maher drops a reality bomb on Zohram Mamdani voters with a brutal history lesson on socialism.

“We’ve run this experiment many times, and the results are always obvious,” Maher said.

He looked straight into the camera and delivered a blunt warning about Mamdani.

“Democrats must recognize that Zohran Mamdani is the future of the party. Unfortunately, it’s the Republican Party.”

“Here’s capitalist South Korea at night from space,” Maher presented, showing a country lit up and thriving.

“Here’s socialist North Korea,” he followed, with the map pitch dark.

“Yeah. In 1990, Venezuela was wealthier than Poland. But then Poland, finally free of Soviet style economics, went all in on capitalism and now their economy is as big as Japan and people there have high wages, low inflation, cars, vacations, homes.”

“Meanwhile, Venezuela traded capitalism for Hugo Chavez’s socialism for the 21st century, which turned out to be like socialism in the last century or any century, a f*cking mess.”

“It turned one of Latin America’s richest countries into one of its poorest. Low wages, high inflation, shortages, outages, 8 million people fleeing. If you think New York can somehow reinvent this wheel, you’re in for a rude awokening.”

Tradition of excellence.

The United States Marine Corps Silent Drill Platoon with Alpha Company, Marine Barracks Washington, stand in formation in front of the U.S. Navy Blue Angels’ F/A-18 Super Hornets at KNOZ airfield in Yuma, Arizona.

This gathering of elite units highlights the shared precision and seamless integration of the Navy and Marine Corps team as they prepare for the upcoming 2026 performance season.

This is Summit. He is a friend to pretty much everyone he meets. But has a special soft spot for the little critters who stop long enough for him to say hello. 13/10

I love how the timing was so perfect. The National Anthem finished and then came the trailing B-1 with full afterburners and wings swept. Beautiful choreography! #SuperBowlLX 🎥 courtesy @957thegame
