Okay, so, today I was trying to figure out what entertainment news show has been around since 1996. I remember seeing it mentioned in a crossword puzzle, the NYT one, I think it was from October 14, 2024. That’s what got me thinking, “What show could it be?”

I started by looking up general info about entertainment news programs. I found out that there are a bunch of them, but I needed one that specifically started in or before 1996. You know, those shows that give you the scoop on celebrities and all that jazz.
Digging Deeper
Then, I dove into lists of top-rated TV shows. I figured, if it’s been on for that long, it must be pretty popular, right? I checked out lists that rank shows based on user ratings and stuff. It’s pretty cool how they use formulas to figure out which shows are the best.
- I noticed that music is a huge part of entertainment. It’s not just about TV shows.
- I also read somewhere that listening to music is super popular. Like, 88% of adults had done it in the past month! That’s a lot of people jamming out.
- It got me thinking about how entertainment can be anything that’s fun and involves some kind of performance, like a clown at a party or a big concert.

But back to the crossword puzzle, I saw this clue about an entertainment news show since 1996, and it hit me! I remembered this show called “Access Hollywood”. I looked it up, and boom, it matched!

So yeah, that’s how I figured out the answer to that crossword clue. It was a fun little investigation, and I learned a bit more about entertainment along the way!
