Life with Louie

Louie Anderson canceled several stand-up gigs in the wake of his younger brother's death last month, but he's scheduled to be back on the road for homecoming gigs at the Brave New Workshop next weekend, as well as appearing on "Live With Kelly and Michael," both part of a comeback tour celebrating his critically acclaimed work on FX's "Baskets."

It's electrifying

If your kids are still humming the tunes from Fox's live version of "Grease," they may be interested in checking out the John Travolta/Olivia Newton-John version, even thought it was originally released in the ancient days of 1978. No matter how much they beg, though, don't follow up with the music video for Newton-John's "Physical." Wait until they're 18.

Like a rolling stone

Minnesota's former First Son Tyrel Ventura, Sean Penn's onetime assistant, shares his thoughts on his old boss' motivations in "El Chapo & Sean Penn: Bungle in the Jungle," a look at how and why the Oscar winner snagged an interview with the drug lord. Hope Penn doesn't mind that the special gives him second billing.
