Founders of Bubba’s Q Boneless Babyback Ribs, they made headlines after alleging that Daymond John renegotiated their deal–allegedly taking it from $300,000 for 30 percent on-air to $100,000 for 35 percent off-air–and iced Bubba out of key business meetings.

Vulture reported on Tuesday.The return to its prized slot on the network comes just a year after it became the first live series hosted on Disney+.At the time, the move was justified by Disney’s desperation to expand their “demographic reach” as well as an upcoming Monday Night Football schedule that would trump the tenured dance competition. “The show’s broad appeal, as well as the overwhelming popularity of its Disney-themed competition nights, make Disney+ the perfect home for ‘Dancing With the Stars’ while continuing to expand our demographic reach,” Kareem Daniel, the former chairman of now-defunct Disney Media and Entertainment Distribution division, said at the time.The transition followed a major shakeup in the last few years, which included the exit of executive producer Andrew Llinares who oversaw the replacement of co-host Tom Bergeron with Tyra Banks for Season 29.Now, “DWTS” veteran Julianne Hough will replace the notorious supermodel as co-host alongside Alfonso Ribeiro for the upcoming season, which is slated to air this fall.The competition’s return to its coveted slot on ABC has not been officially announced by the network nor Disney, but Vulture reports that Disney+ subscribers will have the best of both worlds: the episodes will continue to be live-streamed via the platform, in addition to being available next-day on Hulu.Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough will return as judges in the upcoming season, but without their legendary fourth panelist Len Goodman.

Cube of Fortune.A graduate student and barista had an interesting flex to show off at a bizarre request from “Wheel of Fortune” host Pat Sajak.“Take something out of your pocket,” Nathan Benson from Plano, Texas, was told by Sajak.The accounting student nonchalantly pulled a jumbled Rubik’s Cube out of his jacket pocket and started solving the colorful square while continuing his conversation with Sajak.An eager Sajak asked Benson what the record was for the fast-solving of the cube, to which the barista says, “Like three and a half seconds,” revealing that he’s much slower at solving the Rubik’s cube with his eyes opened.“I’m really good at solving it blindfolded, and I actually have a Texas state record for solving it blindfolded,” Benson humbly bragged to the host.Before Sajak could ask another question, the contestant solved the puzzle.Benson solved the brain game live on air in about 15 seconds and proudly held up the speed feat for the audience to notice.After solving his pocket puzzle, Benson went to unscramble the remaining puzzles in the game and was crowned victor of the episode — winning nearly $30K.Benson was then sent to the bonus round, where he could not solve the puzzle after selecting the four letters “DBCO.”The puzzle ended up being “Qualified Judge” — and to Benson’s credit, he did guess the word “judge.”Sajak, 76, who’s been hosting “Wheel of Fortune” since 1981, gave fans of the game show pause on two different occasions earlier this week.On Tuesday, the host put contestant Fred Jackson in a playful chokehold after he completed a perfect game.Before Jackson took home $75,800 in total from the game and bonus round and was grappled by Sajak, he did mention to the host that he’s a professional wrestler

slap that was heard around the world last year, the Academy is determined to avoid another debacle.“We have a whole crisis team, something we’ve never had before, and many plans in place,” the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences CEO Bill Kramer told Time.“We’ve run many scenarios. So it is our hope that we will be prepared for anything that we may not anticipate right now but that we’re planning for just in case it does happen.”Will Smith — who later in the evening won Best Actor for his role in “King Richard” — unexpectedly rushed onto the stage and slapped presenter Chris Rock after the comedian told a joke about Smith’s wife.

The ABC comedy sitcom “The Conners” has never strayed away from taboo topics, and this time, the newly-announced pregnancy of one of its characters ignited a debate over abortion. Actress Emma Kenney, who plays “Harris” in the show, announced her pregnancy during Wednesday night’s episode, and her family, who has generations of young parents, had mixed reactions to the news. Harris’s grandfather, Dan, played by John Goodman, urged her to “seriously consider having this baby” after she broke the news. “Look, I know this is a shock, and you’re probably feeling there is no way I am ready to have this baby, but we’ve all felt like that,” he said. “There is never enough time, there is never enough money or enough anything you just make it happen, and somehow it all works out.”But Laurie Metcalf, who plays “Jackie” in the series, insinuated Harris should reconsider proceeding with the pregnancy. “Harris, my opinion is that you need to go with your gut on this and I think that I know what your decision is going to be,” Jackie told her. “How do you know?” Dan quickly shot back. “Because if Harris wasn’t pregnant, there is no way she would be thinking about having a kid,” Jackie said.

Milo Ventimiglia for smoothly switching gears from angst-ridden Jack Pearson to con artist Charlie Nicoletti in his new ABC romantic dramedy “The Company You Keep.”The series, premiering Feb. 19 at 10 p.m., frees Ventimiglia to unbuckle Jack’s suffocating, overwrought “This Is Us” straitjacket and breathe — and he exhales with an easygoing, charming performance (sans the bad Jack Pearson mustache) in a series pulsating with a “Moonlighting”-type vibe, albeit with a radically different plotline.Here’s the setup: Charlie Nicoletti and his family — mom Fran (Polly Draper), dad Leo (William Fichtner) and big sister Birdie (Sarah Wayne Callies) — own a bar in Baltimore and lead double-lives as criminals pulling off high-end heists (one of which landed Charlie in the slammer).

“The Rookie: Feds,” and the ABC dramedy, starring Niecy Nash-Betts, has the right stuff to stick around for a while.Nash-Betts (“Reno 911!,” “Claws”) is no stranger to the small screen — or to viewers of “The Rookie,” on which Nash-Betts’ ever-optimistic “Feds” protagonist, Simone Clark, was introduced last season in a two-part episode of the Nathan Fillion series — aka a “backdoor pilot” (read: good chance for a spinoff). Nash-Betts, who knows what she’s doing, adds splashes of quirkiness and humor to Simone, the oldest rookie in the FBI Academy.

Hilary Swank returns to series television in “Alaska Daily,” a too- earnest, tropey drama that’s well-intentioned but heavy-handed in checking all the requisite contextual boxes.Swank, 48, plays Eileen Fitzgerald, an abrasive, hard-charging investigative reporter for the (fictional) New York City newspaper The Vanguard. She’s digging into a five-star general who’s under consideration as the country’s next Secretary of Defense.
