Cast member and executive producer Joel McHale was first to tweet the news, tagging most of the original cast, including Donald Glover and Yvette Nicole Brown, who were not part of Peacock’s official announcement. (McHale also hilariously, and it seems accidentally, tagged Gillian Anderson instead of actual cast member Gillian Jacobs. Anderson tweeted back, “Gillian Jacobs who? I’m in, Joel McHale,” with a winky-face emoji.) “‘Six seasons and a movie’ started out as a cheeky line from Community’s early seasons and quickly ignited a passionate fan movement for this iconic, hilarious and cool (cool, cool) NBC comedy,” Susan Rovner, Chairman, Entertainment Content, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming told Newsweek in a statement on September 30....

The Brazilian won three World Cups, the last of those in 1970 in Mexico, while the former Napoli great led Argentina to the trophy in that same country in 1986. In a book published last year about that triumph, Maradona hit out at Pele for criticism he said the Brazilian made ahead of the tournament, while the Argentine also often plays down the achievements of his South American rival....

The Celtics said a preliminary diagnosis indicated a "cervical stinger." Anderson and Wallace collided near the Celtics' basket with 11:02 to play. They both went to the floor hard. Anderson remained on his back as he was being checked by the team's trainer and a Celtics' doctor before a stretcher was requested. After about a five-minute delay, he was put in a back brace and then on a stretcher before being wheeled off to applause from the TD Garden crowd....

“I absolutely hope that she is the Speaker because if we want to take over the House, the best way is to keep Nancy Pelosi right there,” Grenell said on Newsmax’s The Count on Saturday. “I think her better days are behind her,” he added. “She’s messing up constantly, so let’s keep her as Speaker, and Republicans should give her all the votes she needs to stay right where she is so we can take over in two years....

The lack of security at the Capitol as legislators convened to certify President Joe Biden’s Electoral College win became a lightning rod for criticism in the aftermath of the January 6 riot. Some raised concerns that it showed the world how vulnerable America’s government is to attack and on Monday, Pelosi announced there will be a 9/11-style commission to get to the “truth of how this happened.” After an investigation, the commission will report on the “facts and causes” relating to the Capitol riot, including information about the preparedness and response of Capitol police and federal, state and local law enforcement....

The Penn State hockey team wore “409” stickers on their helmets in a match against Michigan State on Friday, a nod to the win total for Joe Paterno after the NCAA restored his previously vacated wins.

Shapiro, a Democrat, told CNN’s Chris Cuomo that Giuliani had descended into “lunacy and conspiracy theory and fearmongering” during his testimony. The Republican, who is President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, had been granted permission to plead before the court on behalf of the Trump campaign. Giuliani made his name as an attorney in New York before being elected mayor in 1993 but records suggest that he hadn’t entered an appearance at a federal court in 28 years....

RGGI would cause Pennsylvania to join other mid-Atlantic and New England states to “to cap and reduce power sector CO2 emissions.” These states strictly limit carbon emissions from electricity producers by forcing them to pay for “credits.” This is a tax in everything but name. By Pennsylvania state law, only the legislature—not the governor—can pass taxes. Joining the initiative via executive order is flatly unconstitutional in our state. The governor is no stranger to executive overreach....
