[King Bob]

It's a bad show. Christina likes it and I hate it. They add in all theses dream sequences, apparently to make it more meaningful or mysterious, but they have no connection to the story. And her character is annoying.

Travel Vlogger/Former SI Model Victoria Vesce has made her debut on the s is also on the reality competition show new show called The Anonymous produced by NBC on USA Network. 

It was released on August 19th. They did a special airing of it on Bravo and E! as well).

Victoria's social media channels: Instagram, TikTok, Travel Instagram.

Show bio: 
Victoria Vesce is a brunette bombshell with a law degree to boot, entering this competition with the confidence that she can wrap any player around her finger. Born and raised in Nashville, NC, Victoria planned to play collegiate basketball, but a torn rotator cuff ended her athletic record prematurely. Although no longer an athlete, she was still recruited to dance for the NBA where she balanced multiple dates and relationships. She eventually traded her privileged life of partying and jet-setting for the corporate legal sector, going to law school and building a successful career. 

However, after being featured in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, Victoria pivoted to social media, leveraging her influence and charm in new ways. Having left the corporate world behind for a life of traveling, blogging and working with resorts and hotels, Victoria truly believes she was born for this competition. She’ll use her southern charm her way through the house in the real world, while in anonymous mode, she'll be untrusting and discerning – no stranger to catching cheaters online. With her legal mindset and social media savvy, Victoria plans to take home the grand prize.

Would’ve been better if it was a musical.


Honestly I don’t know. Didn’t watch it.

As part of the promotional campaign for the new Chicken Big Mac, McDonald's will be debuting a series of commercials featuring the reunion of Fresh Off the Boat stars, Randall Park and Hudson Yang. This marks the first time the former TV father and son duo have shared the screen since FOB concluded its historic six-season run in 2020, and Yang's first TV commercial ever. 

Here is a sneak peek at the spot called "Jinx" which will air on 10/14. Hudson will be available for interviews (NYCC or virtual) upon request so please let me know if this is an interest. Let us know if you plan on covering this story and sharing this news with your audience. We'd be happy to provide additional assets.
