  • The Schitt's Creek actor called it a "gift" to be his father's caregiver and advocate during his final years

Milligan, who played kind veterinarian Ted onSchitt's Creek,shared a throwback photo of his father adjusting the kerchief of his Beaver Scout uniform toInstagramon March 31. In the accompanying caption, Milligan, now 40, said that he was with his father as he died, writing, "I held his hand as he drew his last breath. It was a gift. One of many."

He shared that he and his father began their "ongoing dialogue about his Dementia" three years ago, explaining that, at first, it manifested as "moments of confusion, repetition, and memory gaps I'd noticed. They felt like more than just aging. More than just echoes of his stroke from a decade prior."

His father noticed the changes as well, so "we got him tested, diagnosed, and began adjusting to the simple, surreal new reality: his mind was slipping away, and it was never going to stop."

As "a physicist and a mathematician and a dreamer," Milligan said his father "wasn't angry about it. Or in denial. He said he had "a scientific mind with a philosopher's heart. He found it fascinating. He told me when he noticed it getting worse, and would ask me what I was seeing. I told him the truth. And that's how we navigated it. Side by side. Openly and honest."

"He told me he wanted to go on his own terms, using MAiD," Milligan wrote, using abbreviation for medical aid in dying, which islegal in Canada."He told me he didn't want to progress to the point that he couldn't eat on his own or bathe on his own or remember his children. I understood."

TheHot Frostyactor was hands-on with his father's care, sharing that he would prepare his meals, cut his food, and open his pill bottles "as his dexterity broke down." They would "speak by playing harmonica together, as his language diminished," calling it a gift to be "his caregiver, advocate, and son."

As his father's health declined, his dad remained "resolute" in his decision, Milligan wrote. "He didn't want to suffer any further. He knew what he wanted. He stood by his choice and was happy to be able to make it," he wrote, adding, "MAiD is a gift."

He shared that he was with his father, holding his hand, when he died: "We sat together, side by side, when he spoke his last words: 'Hold onto me. Hold on tight.'

He ended his post by sharing, "We held each other's hand as tightly as we could. The procedure began, his grip loosened, and he let go. Now I learn to do the same. One last gift."

Nancy Grace slams sheriff’s handling of Guthrie case: ‘The fish stinks at the head’

Nancy Grace slams sheriff's handling of Guthrie case: 'The fish stinks at the head'

For Nancy Grace, theNancy Guthriecase is personal.

Fox News

As a former prosecutor, she knows firsthand how mishandling of a crime scene early on can complicate the case if it ever gets to court — and it can put the search for Guthrie in jeopardy, too, she said in an interview on Sean Hannity's new podcast,"Hang Out with Sean Hannity."

But the 84-year-old's suspected abduction also brought back painful memories from her own past — the murder of her fiancé during summer break from college in 1979.

When Guthrie's daughter, "Today" co-hostSavannah Guthrie,gave her first televised interview with colleague Hoda Kotb last week, the emotional account reminded Grace that "you're never the same" after a loved one is taken away.

The emotions ran raw, Grace told Hannity, but other aspects of the case pained her, too.

The sheriff released the crime scene back to the family beforebringing the FBIinto the case days later. In the interim, delivery drivers and journalists walked up to the front door, dropping off parcels and taking photographs.

"By destroying the crime scene and by releasing the crime scene too early, they destroyed a lot of evidence," she said.

Nancy and Savannah Guthrie

"People called them 'missteps,' that is certainly putting perfume on the pig, isn't it?" Grace said. "That's a euphemism, 'missteps' — they're screw-ups. The feds wouldn't have done that."

Then, as the special agent in charge of the FBI's Phoenix office was with the Guthrie family filming a video response to a ransom demand that authorities viewed as potentially credible, the sheriff was caught on camera enjoying anArizona Wildcats basketball game.

Hannity noted that once the FBI did get involved, the bureau worked with Google to obtain imagery from Guthrie's missing Nest doorbell camera that the sheriff's department had not been able to recover.

"I don't like attacking the actual men and women that are doing the work. The fish stinks at the head, Sean," Grace said. "It's Nanos. He stinks. He's gotta go. But that's a distraction to finding Nancy Guthrie."

"When Savannah was talking...when she felt like it was her fault, she said, 'Oh, Mommy, Mommy, I'm sorry. I am sorry,'" Grace said. "It took me right back to that moment — those horrible moments — when I was lying there in the dark, feeling like howling, because there just were no words."

Nancy Guthrie Disappearance Sparked Harrowing 12-Hour Odyssey For Savannah

Grace's fiancé, Keith Griffin, was killedon his way to work during a break from college — months before they hoped to get married.

Nancy Guthrie's home and surrounding property viewed from an aerial perspective.

The 23-year-old had a summer gig on a construction crew, she said, and his killer had been fired from the same job before his arrival. Griffin went on a run to pick up drinks for his co-workers and bring them back to the rural job site, arriving in the owner's jacket and driving the company truck.

"The guy came up and just opened fire and shot Keith five times in the face, the neck, the head and the back," Grace told Hannity.

After his death, Grace dropped out of school. But eventually she returned, she said, motivated to help other crime victims.

"When I would be tired or weary, just as when I was prosecuting, I would think about Keith just looking at me with those big, blue eyes, and I would know it wasmy duty," she said.

At one point, Hannity brought up an emotional moment from Guthrie's interview with Kotb — where she acknowledged that her fame and fortune could have provided a motive for the unknown abductors.

"That's not her fault," he said. "Are we supposed to stop living our lives because there's evil in this world?"

Police said in a release onFacebookthat the three people, who were all from out of state, were apprehended within minutes after attempting to flee from the property.

Initially, police were called to the area of 67th Avenue and 113th Street in Pinecrest for a house alarm. Once officers were on their way to the address, they were told that surveillance video showed a "burglary in progress," police said in a separate statement shared with NBC News.

Officers arrived to find a vehicle fleeing the scene, which then crashed at the corner of Southwest 57th Avenue and 94th Street, according to the police statement. The suspects got out of the car and attempted to run to a nearby neighborhood before police took them into custody.

"This incident serves as a stark reminder that Pinecrest will not tolerate criminal activity," police said in the Facebook statement.

No further information was provided about the incident or the arrest. Representatives for Pippen did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Pippen has been in the headlines recently after reports surfaced this month that Bravo was pausing production of "Real Housewives of Miami" due to low ratings.

Pippen said on her Instagram story she was "not happy" about the news and slammed Bravo sister series, the "Real Housewives of New York City," calling it "terrible without the old cast members."

Bad weather is back in the US forecast as April begins

After a brief break, severe weather is returning to the forecast as April begins — mainly across the central U.S., with severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, and flooding downpours all possible.

USA TODAY

"Heavy thunderstorms this week may bring hail, damaging winds, tornadoes and flooding rain from the Plains to the Great Lakes, disrupting travel and outdoor plans into Easter weekend," saidAccuWeather meteorologist Alex Sosnowski in an online forecast.

At the same time, freezing rain and snow will bring a wintry feel to the far northern tier of the U.S. over the next few days.

Stationary front to blame

On Tuesday, March 31, a front extended from the Northeast across the Great Lakes, Central Plains, Northern Rockies, and Northern California, which will remain nearly stationary with waves of low pressure running along the boundary through Thursday, April 2,NOAA's Weather Prediction Center (WPC) said in an online forecast.

"Tuesday's storms may bring large hail, damaging wind gusts and a few tornadoes, with the greatest concentration from southern Michigan to northeast Illinois, the northern parts of Indiana and Ohio,"AccuWeathermeteorologist Brandon Buckingham said.

NOAA's Storm Prediction Centerhas issued a slight risk (level 2/5) of severe thunderstorms for parts of the Great Lakes/Ohio Valley through Wednesday morning, April 1.

"The hazards associated with these thunderstorms are frequent lightning, severe thunderstorm wind gusts, hail, and a few tornadoes," theWPC said.

Map shows stormy weather in late March, early April will be due to a stationary front that extends from west to east across the entire US. Waves of low pressure will form along this boundary through Thursday April 2, the Weather Prediction Center said.

Freezing rain and snow to the north

"Moreover, rain/freezing rain will develop from parts of the Upper Mississippi Valley/Upper Great Lakes into parts of the Northeast on Tuesday [March 31],"the WPC said. "In addition, light snow will develop over northern Maine and over parts of the Upper Mississippi Valley and Northern Plains."

By Wednesday, April 1, there will be patches of rain and freezing rain from the Central Plains to the Great Lakes, and a second area of rain and freezing rain over parts of the Northeast. Light snow will develop over parts of the Northern and Central Plains and the Upper Mississippi Valley on Wednesday, April 1.

Wet, stormy Wednesday for millions, forecast says

On Wednesday, April 1, the severe weather threat is forecast to shift south and consolidate over the Plains and parts of the Mississippi Valley,AccuWeather said. Severe weather is anticipated from central Texas through central and southeastern Kansas into southwestern and central Missouri.

Farther to the east, heavy thunderstorms will drench portions of the Ohio Valley and the Mid-Atlantic region Wednesday, April 1. "Along with downpours that can slow travel, some storms may produce winds strong enough to break tree branches and send trash cans and recycling bins flying," Sosnowski said.

Thursday's severe weather risk returns to Midwest

According toAccuWeather, the risk of severe weather will continue across parts of the Mississippi Valley and Plains on Thursday, April 2, and Friday, April 3, with Thursday's storms capable of producing strong wind gusts and hail from northern Arkansas to southern Michigan.

A general 1-4 inches of rain is forecast in late March, early April — from Texas and the north-central Gulf Coast to the Great Lakes and central Appalachians, with locally higher amounts of up to 6 inches possible.

How much rain will fall? Will it help the drought?

A general 1-4 inches of rain is forecast from Texas and the north-central Gulf Coast to the Great Lakes and central Appalachians, with locally higher amounts of up to 6 inches possible,Sosnowski said. "While not all of the rain will fall at once, multiple rounds of disruptive rainfall are likely."

"In drought-stricken areas, repeated rainfall may bring some relief and reduce the risk of spring wildfires."

Arsenio Hall Says Howard Stern 'Really Hated' Him for Years: 'I Hope Arsenio Dies'

Arsenio Hall Says Howard Stern 'Really Hated' Him for Years: 'I Hope Arsenio Dies'

Arsenio Hall looked back at his feud with Howard Stern

NEED TO KNOW

  • Hall said that Stern "really hated him" and that it ultimately hurt the ratings for The Arsenio Hall Show

  • Hall appeared on Stern's talk show in 2021

Arsenio Hall is looking back at his talk show and what role it played in late-night wars.

Hall, 70, is releasinga memoir titledArseniothis week, and he opened up about it in an interview withThe New York Times,published on March 30.The Arsenio Hall Showran in syndication from 1989 to 1994 and became a hit in major markets.

The Timesnoted that Hall's show often "leaned into controversy," including tellingEntertainment Weeklythat he would "kick [Jay] Leno's ass."

"There were times when Jay thought I didn't work as hard as he did. And he criticized my monologue," Hall explained. "And somebody got that to me. We definitely battled." Years later, Hall appeared onThe Jay Leno Show, and the pair have toured together.

The interviewer also noted that Hall appeared onThe Howard Stern Showand noted, "That surprised me, because maybe your ugliest feud was with him."

Hall explained, "When Magic Johnson contracted H.I.V. and Howard said, 'I hope Arsenio dies,' that's when I realized it wasn't joking around. He really hated me." Hall was friends with Johnson, who announced he had contracted H.I.V. in 1991, and frequently appeared on this show.

In an episode ofThe Tonight Showin 1992, Stern, 72, called Hall a "moron" who "couldn't even do stand-up comedy." He toldEntertainment Weeklyin 1993, "Arsenio has no talent. Arsenio's talent is kissing ass. I can't watch those interviews. I cannot take the ass sucking that goes on on a nightly basis."

"I'll be honest: It hurt the business a lot. Howard has die-hard fans who do anything he says. Howard can hurt your numbers," Hall said. "My biggest struggle was not against other talk show hosts. It was against an angry Howard."

The Timesasked why he appeared on the show in 2021. "I have pretty thick skin," Hall said. "I heard a therapist use a word called 'weathering' once. When you're Black, between the racism and hate that you experience, there's a weathering that takes place. You build up a callus."

During his appearance onThe Howard Stern Show,Hall said that he was "the fault in that conflict" with Leno, 75. "There was a magazine that asked me about the competition with Letterman and Jay and with Jay I said, 'I know Jay very well and it's like the Lakers and the Clippers. The Clippers lose, but they don't try to lose, they try to win — and I'm going to try and kick his ass,' " Hall said. "Of course, they put a cover out saying I'm going to kick his ass."

While Hall and Stern did not address their conflict directly,Stern was very complimentaryof Hall's TV series. "Going back and observing your talk show, there's some great stuff to go back there and look at," he said. He praised especially appearances by Michael Jackson, Prince and Bill Clinton (with his saxophone) on the show. "You were delivering the f---ing goods," he said, but noted that there was a perception he wasn't doing enough. Hall said that when Johnny Carson leftThe Tonight Showin 1992, the network wanted him to inherit that audience and lean more "conservative."

In 2020, Stern reflected on his old shows and behavior. "I'll be the first to admit. I won't go back and watch those old shows; it's like, 'Who is that guy?' But that was my shtick, that's what I did and I own it," he said in part. ". . . I came to realize in therapy, if I'm going to be with my kids and have a successful marriage, I can't be insane, completely, 24 hours a day. I have to figure out a better way to communicate. So I evolved and changed."

In his interview withThe Times, Hall noted that there is no fighting among late night hosts anymore. "We're in a weird time where the hosts all came together to go against late night's arch nemesis:Donald Trump. It's like Trump kind of galvanized late night. We fought each other for numbers. Now they're all together for a common cause. It's very weird," he said.

Arseniois available at bookstores everywhere beginning Tuesday, March 31.
