Here's the Scoop...
Now that the 2016 Olympic Games are over what am I going to watch? My viewing schedule was filled with swimming, diving, running, jumping and so on...what can I watch to give me the vague feeling that I was almost doing exercise? Maybe 'American Ninja Warrior'?
Be Well,

"I love my body, and I would never change anything about it. I'm not asking you to like my body. I'm just asking you to let me be me. Because I'm going to influence a girl who does look like me, and I want her to feel good about herself."

Steven Hill, 'Law & Order', 'Mission: Impossible' star dead at 94
Actor Steven Hill, known for his roles on Law & Order and Mission: Impossible has died at the age of 94.
Hill's daughter Sarah Gobioff confirmed the news to The New York Times stating that he died Tuesday in Monsey, New York. No information regarding his cause of death was released.
A veteran stage, film and television actor, Hill first rose to prominence starring as Mission:Impossible lead Daniel Briggs but left the spy drama after one season. Series star Peter Grave's later took over for six more seasons.
Hill's next big television starring role came in 1990 when he joined Law & Order as stern district attorney Adam Schiff, who was modeled on real-life Manhattan lawyer Robert M. Morgenthau. Hill played the character for ten years until 2000 and was nominated for two Emmys in 1998 and 1999.
"Steven was not only one of the truly great actors of his generation, he was one of the most intelligent people I have ever met," Law & Order creator and executive producer Dick Wolf said in a statement to CNN.
"He is also the only actor I've known who consistently tried to cut his own lines. He will be missed but fortunately he can be seen ubiquitously on Law & Order reruns," he continued.
Hill also starred in multiple films throughout the '80s and '90s including Rich and Famous, Yentl, Brighton Beach Memoirs, Raw Deal and The Firm.
Outside of Gobioff, Hill is survived by his wife Rachel Schenker, daughters Betsy Hill, Pamela Hill and Hanna Hendler, sons John, Matthew, Jacob, Joshua and Samuel along with many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Which former "Office" star told Conan that Matt Damon made out with his wife?
When Matt Damon first met John Krasinski, he bragged about getting to shoot a love scene with Krasinski's wife, actress Emily Blunt.
Krasinski was on Conan Tuesday and shared a story about visiting Blunt on the set of The Adjustment Bureau.
Krasinski -- a native Bostonian -- was a big fan of Damon's, but Krasinski shared how he wasn't sure how to react when Damon awkwardly bragged about a love scene he and Blunt just finished filming.
"I get up there [to the set] ... and I go this close to the screen," Krasinski gestured with his hand to his face. "And it's just Matt and my wife kissing very deeply."
Krasinski said he went up to Blunt after the camera stopped rolling to congratulate her on her performance when Damon came up to introduce himself.
"Matt Damon came up and was just trying to make a joke and said, 'Hey, nice to meet ya. I was just totally tonguing your girl,'" Krasinski said.
Krasinski said he responded with a simple, "OK, man," and that was when Damon realized his joke wasn't funny at all.
"To this day he can't get over the fact that that was the first thing he said to me," Krasinski said, laughing.
"Actually," Conan interjected, "it was funny!"
