• The director of the CDC recommended booster shots of the Pfizer COVID vaccine for frontline workers including teachers and healthcare workers, overruling the CDC advisory panel which had nixed booster shots for people under 65.
• Chaos reigned at The View today when two hosts—Ana Navarro and Sunny Hostin—were asked to leave the set mid-broadcast because they tested positive for COVID, disrupting a planned in-person interview with Kamala Harris.
• The Other Two, one of the top five best comedies currently on TV, has been renewed for a third season on HBO Max.
• A teenager pointed out one simple way to disrupt thousands of scientific studies on TikTok.
• Doris Diether, a longtime Washington Square Park and Greenwich Village preservationist, has died at 92.
• Rudy Giuliani and his family have been banned from Fox News for almost three months...something he only learned about on the eve of September 11th.
• Are you into giant origami sculptures? There are seven of them on Broadway in the Garment District.
• Elon Musk and Grimes have "semi-separated" after being together for three years.
• Some gorillas got up to some NSFW activities at the Bronx Zoo, to the horror of human onlookers.
