Tom Wolfe Passes, ABC’s New Fall Schedule, and the Royal Wedding Update

The prolific ‘The Bonfire of the Vanities’ and ‘The Right Stuff’ Tom Wolfe died of an unspecified infection in a New York hospital this week at the age of 88. Tom had extensive years’ experience in writing, working at the New York Herald Tribune and The Washington Post in his early career, before becoming a novelist.

The ABC television fall schedule was announced, with a few surprises; the controversial comeback show ‘Roseanne’ leads off Tuesday nights, then it’s the younger focused ‘The Kids Are Alright.’ The Alec Baldwin Show,” is the first talk show to hold down a prime-time position, will air 10pm Est on Sundays. The shows ‘Fresh Off the Boat’ and ‘Speechless’ will move to Fridays.

Finally, could there be more drama for the Royal couple Meghan and Harry than the news that Megan’s father Thomas was caught selling fake pictures, not coming to the wedding, is coming, oh wait a heart attack, not coming… All that matters is this; the wedding is days away, and if you want to watch it live, set your clock for 4am EST
