“It’s with a broken heart that I share with all of you that Frank passed away last night.”

What happened to Frank Fritz?

Fritz’s death comes two years after he suffered a major stroke in 2022. This was two years after the host had taken off from hosting the long-running American Pickers citing health reasons. At the…

Frank Fritz, co-host of the History Channel’s American Pickers, has died. He was 60.

Fritz’s fellow co-host, Mike Wolfe, shared the news on Instagram on Tuesday morning. “It’s with a broken heart that I share with all of you that Frank passed away last night,” he wrote in the caption of a photo of the two of them. “I’ve know Frank for more then half my life and what you’ve seen on TV has always been what I have seen, a dreamer who was just as sensitive as he was funny.

If you only watched American Idol in the later seasons, then you may be shocked to learn there were originally two hosts. Brian Dunkleman shared hosting duties alongside Ryan Seacrest. However, he left after a single season with Seacrest taking over solely as host.

What happened? Well, a big part of it may have to do with the fact that Dunkleman wasn’t a fan of the first season of American Idol. He described the experience as cruel to the contestants and left a bad taste in his mouth.

“You’re spending a lot of time with these kids in the line, and you’re getting to know them, you’re getting to know their parents. There was a stretch for an hour straight where kid after kid came, [and] every one of them was bawling. And I thought, ‘What is going on?'” he recalled of the auditions…

A coalition of TikTok creators filed a joint lawsuit Tuesday against the U.S. government in hopes of preventing the popular social network from being banned early next year.

The lawsuit, filed by eight influencers, asserted that the potential ban would not only strip them of their way of living, but rob others of a critical “part of American life.”

The 33-page complaint largely echoes the same arguments TikTok made in a lawsuit it filed itself last week, claiming that a ban of the social network would be a First Amendment violation that robs 170 million U.S. users of their freedom.

Both suits come less than a month after lawmakers passed—and Joe Biden signed—a law with bipartisan support that ordered ByteDance to sell TikTok, which is estimated to be worth tens of billions, to a…
