  Speaker 1: The Shaw Report. 2026's sexiest man alive is Noah Wiley.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: The annual People Magazine choice has been announced and 55-year-old Noah,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: one-time star of ER and now The Pit, thought he
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: was being pranked. I'm probably not surprised. He says that's
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: a crown he never thought he'd wear, but he's been
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: encouraged to embrace it by his wife, Sarah. who he
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: says is very pleased because it reflects so well on
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: her own taste. Back in the day. You can get
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: that title at 55 now. That's great. Yeah, well, he
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: is pretty sexy. And The Pit's great, you know. I know,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: you're a big fan. And back in the day when
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Noah was much younger, I think it might have been 1985,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: People magazine did a little addition to The Sexiest Man Alive.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: They did The Sexiest Men of E.R., Because it was
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: George Clooney, Noah Anthony Edwards, and the other guy, Eric LaSalle,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: I think. So it's kind of the second time, but
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: this time he's on his own. Actress Susan St. James
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: has died overnight. She was a big star in the
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: 70s and 80s, starring in TV hits like Macmillan and
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Wife alongside Rock Hudson and the sitcom Kate and Ali
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: with Jane Curtin. She was 80 and she had been
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: battling pancreatic cancer. So we tipped this last week and
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: now it has been properly officially confirmed Jay-Z will be
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: the halftime entertainment at next year's Super Bowl. It was
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: an easy choice for him considering his company, Roc Nation,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: oversees the halftime show and chooses who gets the gig. Well,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: he's the boss, isn't he? So he had to, you know,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: okay it. Do I greenlight myself? Yeah, why not? And
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: like I said last week with Jay-Z, surely there's a
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: good chance of getting Mrs. Z, Beyonce, as well. A two-for.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: A two-for-one deal. Stevie Wonder is taking legal action to
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: evict an alleged ex-girlfriend from a Los Angeles home. She's
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: been living in rent-free for nearly 40 years. Carmen Efferson's
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: been living at the property since July 1988 under a
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: verbal agreement that required her to pay $ 0 in rent.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: That's a good agreement. It is. She's gone and blown
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: that sweet deal by refusing to let Stevie's team inside
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: for an insurance inspection. And so her marching orders have
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: now been signed, sealed and delivered. Talk about blowing a
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: good deal. I know, silly woman. Look, it's nearly November.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: We've reached that time of the year where various folks
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: put out their various picks for this, that and the
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: other of the year. For example, Dictionary.com has announced its
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: 2026 Word O' the Year. And it is... Drumroll, please. Oh,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: hang on. Hang on. You've got a drumroll? I think
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: I have one for you. Hang on. Oh. That was smooth.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: It is maxing. These are the people that last year
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: chose six, seven as word of the year. That's two words. Yeah,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I know. And they've gone with a Gen Z term
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: again in maxing, short for maximizing. Maxing can be used
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: on its own or added to the end of any
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: word to convey you're doing something to the fullest automatically.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: or optimizing it as much as possible. You may have
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: heard the term looks maxing, for example. Didn't someone go
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: to jail for that? Yes. Meaning to maximize physical attractiveness
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: through fitness routines and personal grooming. There's sleep maxing, fairly self-explanatory,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: and relax maxing. Sadly, we don't hear a lot of
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: paying attention to grammar maxing, but there's always next year.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Is that maxing with one X or two? Two Xs.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Of course it is. Maxing, the word max. Of course
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: it is.
