Here's the Scoop...

Now, here's another reason that Joe Manganiello is manlier than I am.

The 42-year-old actor recounted on Thursday's episode of The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon how he and Sophia Vergara used an axe and a katana sword to deal with the "snake problems" at their house in Beverly Hills, Calif.

"We had some issues heading into Fourth of July at my house. We had some snake problems," he told host Jimmy Fallon. "There were snakes coming in from my neighbor's yard, like big, big snakes ... colored like rattlesnakes."

Manganiello was returning home this month when he saw a "huge" snake cross his driveway. He had a moment of inspiration from watching contestants on the reality series Naked and Afraid take on snakes with machetes.

"I go running in the house, and I have a lot of machetes and tomahawks and katanas from all the movies I've done," the star said. "I grab this tomahawk and pull the cover off. I go running through the house and my wife sees me running outside with an axe. She starts screaming, 'What's happening?'"

"I go running out and she comes running out after me in her bathrobe and sees me going after the snake. She starts screaming, 'No! It's too short,'" he said. "She disappears back into the house and comes back out with one of my training katanas. It's a training sword so it's not a real katana. I'm like, 'That's not sharp enough!'

Manganiello was pursuing the snake and Vergara was waving the sword around when a passerby in a car stopped to ask if everything was alright.

"Beverly Hills, broad daylight, and there's a woman in a bathrobe screaming with a katana and there's a crazed guy with an axe, a hatchet, in the driveway, with blood on it," Manganiello said. "We got the snake, and my brother could bring over my nieces."

Manganiello and Vergara married in November 2015. The couple co-star in the new movie Bottom of the 9th, which opens in theaters Friday.

He's so manly...and handsome. Oh, who am I kidding? He's a dreamboat!

Be Well,
Steve

'It Chapter Two' trailer: Pennywise taunts, 'I've missed you!'

Warner Bros, released the final trailer for its upcoming horror movie It Chapter Two on Thursday.

The 2 1/2-minute teaser earned almost 2 million views in its first hours on YouTube.

Director Andy Muschietti, who helmed the 2017 blockbuster It, returned to shoot the sequel, which is set for theatrical release on Sept. 6.

The movies are based on Stephen King's novel.

Chapter Two takes place 27 years after the events of the original film, but it does include flashbacks with the characters as children.

Bill Skarsgård returns as the murderous clown Pennywise in both time periods.

Also back from the first movie are Jaeden Martell, Wyatt Oleff, Jack Dylan Grazer, Finn Wolfhard, Sophia Lillis, Chosen Jacobs and Jeremy Ray Taylor.

Joining the ensemble this time around are Jessica Chastain, James McAvoy, Bill Hader, Isaiah Mustafa, Jay Ryan, James Ransone and Andy Bean.

In Thursday's preview, the estranged childhood friends -- now in their 40s -- are seen returning to their tragedy-plagued hometown of Derry, Maine, in the hopes of preventing Pennywise from embarking on another bloody rampage.

"For 27 years, I've dreamt of you. I craved you. I've missed you!" Pennywise says.

"We need to finish it. For good," another male voice is heard vowing as the adult characters walk down Derry street together.

LOOSE LIPS:

"Love dates with you baby. One day I'll be doing daddy daughter dates ... not hinting at anything soon I'm not in a rush. I just wanna enjoy you by yourself for a while!"

Cheers and Becker alum Ted Danson has signed on to star in a new, as-yet-untitled sitcom created by writer-producers Tina Fey and Robert Carlock, NBC announced Thursday.

Before Kimmy, Fey and Carlock together produced the NBC sitcom 30 Rock, in which Fey starred.

NBC recently confirmed it canceled Danson's latest show, The Good Place, after four seasons.

Which former 'Man of Steel' will portray Superman again in an 'Arrowverse' event?

Brandon Routh is set to portray Superman once again in a DC Comics crossover event coming to The CW.

Routh famously appeared as the Man of Steel in 2006 film Superman Returns. He currently stars as DC hero The Atom on Legends of Tomorrow.

The crossover event titled Crisis on Infinite Earths, will bring together The CW's Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow and Batwoman. The shows are known collectively as the Arrowverse.

Tyler Hoechlin, who has a recurring role on Supergirl as Superman, will also be appearing as the superhero during the crossover.

Crisis on Infinite Earths shares the same name with a 1980s comic book series by writer Marv Wolfman and artist George Perez. The comic eliminated DC's multiverse where multiple versions of Earth could exist containing different versions of Superman.

Three episodes of the crossover will air in December, with the final two installments coming in January.

Routh will also be featured as The Atom during the event.
