Brian Steinberg Senior TV Editor Comedian Roy Wood Jr. did something many guests at the annual White House Correspondents Dinner forget to do: celebrate journalism. In a series of funny remarks that took on everything from Don Lemon to Fox News Channel’s massive $787.5 million settlement to Dominion Voting to President Biden’s age, Wood devoted significant time to calling for support for local journalism, noting that reporters working for regional and local media outlets are often the first to spot malfeasance or something wrong. He also mentioned his father’s work in local radio and his mother’s career in education. The comments added a personal touch to the proceedings, which are organized each year by the White House Correspondents Association and meant to call attention to the mission of holding government officials accountable in reporting meant to be consumed by the American public.
Scots Tipping Point contestant narrowly misses out on jackpot as viewers notice 'soft spot'

Ben Shephard was back hosting the popular quiz show on ITV on Tuesday night, as three hopefuls battled it out against the Tipping Point machine in the hopes of bagging thousands.

Cassi was hot on his tail, however, as she scored a healthy £450 to take the lead. Lisa eventually caught up with the pair but it was Paul who got the final £50 of the round, taking his winnings up to £500 and putting him just ahead of Cassi.
In the second round Cassi and the others were given 45 seconds to answer as many questions correctly as they could, gaining a counter to use for each correctly answered question. Luck was on her side as she got an extra £450 in the bag, securing her place in the next round with a cool £900 collected.
And it was former civil servant Paul who joined her in the head-to-head round, following a sudden death win over Lisa. Although Cassi seemed to be doing well, despite a couple of passes, she was caught out when one of her coins was left balancing on the edge of the shelf without dropping over.
This left Paul to win big and rake in enough money to surpass his rival and secure his place in the final. Paul just missed out on the £10,000 jackpot but did manage to leave the show with an impressive £2,700, alongside a hotel break in Cornwall and an inflatable paddle.
Although she didn't make it through, eagle-eyed viewers believed host Ben had a
