The best in show just got even better.
“The American Rescue Dog Show” has added Paula Abdul, Leslie Jordan and Yvette Nicole Brown as celebrity “ex-paw-t” judges, ABC announced Thursday.

Desus & Mero are leaving their home sneaker wall behind and heading back into the studio to record their late-night Showtime series.
The pair will return to their newly revamped studio on June 20 for the first time since March 2020, when the pandemic forced them to shoot their show remotely. Flamboyant country rapper Lil Nas X, known for his hits “Old Town Road” and “Montero (Call Me By Your Name),” will be their first illustrious guest.
