>> hard to reconcile that in my own mind because the show's been on the a air twice as long as it was on the air. to think that the show is still resognating with people is astonishing. of course getti inting to work all these people again that i'm still very good friends with. >> i got to ask you to clear up something for me because there's a story going around where jessica alba says when she guest starred. >> not supposed to look at me. >> on the set of 90210, i couldn't even make eye contact with any of the cast members throughout the set. >> mirai is that true or not? >> i can't confirm whether it's true or not. i'm not doubting her. i'm sure that was her experience. somebody probably told her so. >> what would you do? >> at the end of the day, i can't see that demand being made by any of my former cast mates. i just don't know where that comment came from. certainly never came from a cast member directly. maybe it was an ad or someone onset.

i put the suit on, mover my arm and the muscles grow and i'm so excited for the premier tonight on cw network. >> so you're no stranger to transformation. we saw mr. blue devil. so, henry winkler apparently had a whole look. an lewk. >> henry's one of the truly good people on the planet. he's been really busy. he's got a new children's book. he turned 75. can you believe that? at the end of the month and apparently, that inspired him to experiment with a new summer look. >> explain the beard. >> i grew a beard. >> yes. and then all of a sudden one day, and i had hair down to my shoulders. my son said, dad, he said, you know, you might want to rethink that and i cut it off because my face looks really heavy and all of a sudden, he said you know, you've lost ten years. you look younger and i got a haircut. >> henry's been staying busy.

gave us a big tour. a very special pillow. >> look at these guys. mom and dad. >> e.t.'s been with henry since the happy days in 1983 and coming up, he's got a milestone birthday to celebrate when he turns 75 on october 30th. >> you know what, this moment just being healthy. is a great gift. americans, go and do what is their right, that's a birthday gift to me. >> i'm voting because henry told me, but also, you got to vote. >> get the vote out. by the way, in case you're wondering about henry's return to his role, he told me that the production on season three is january. now, i'm, you know what it's like to see a part of an iconic cast, but former madmen star in a thriller made him go mad. that's next.

the loss with meaningful

because now the question is can they make the playoffs. i would actually asked the question a different way. i would say if they can beat the philadelphia eagles to the help can they be. that's a better question. i think now of course they could be best to new jersey teams. but you know they're the worst those 2 teams at the absolute worst. but net we know they couldn't beat. arizona with their regular qu proposition 16 takes on discrimination.

some women make as little as 42% of what a man makes. voting yes on prop 16 helps us fix that. it's supported by leaders like kamala harris and opposed by those who have always opposed equality. we either fall from grace or we rise. together. proposition 16 provides equal opportunities, levelling the playing field for all of us. vote yes on prop 16. i just want to say thanks for helping us out today. it's good to see you. you're a friend of the show and a friend of ours. make sure you watch swamp thing

tonight on cw and we'll leave you with former madman star. >> he's got a new series about a computer program that can turn phones into computers into weapons. >> bye, everybody. >> trying to find this artificial intelligence before it kills everybody. >> are you ready for people to be crushing over you after this series hits the screen? >> i wish i shared your -- >> you're blushing a little bit there, johnny boy. >> i think they'll get hooked on the show. they do one of the most difficult jobs there is, even in normal times. our frontline health care workers. and when these heroes lack the resources they need, that risky job gets ten times harder. prop fifteen makes corporations pay their fair share. to invest in our communities, in our clinics, in the essential workers who treat everyone- rich, poor, and in-between.

whether it's this pandemic or the next health crisis, vote yes on prop fifteen. for all of us. in the tubbs fire. the flames, the ash, it was terrifying. thousands of family homes are destroyed in wildfires. families are forced to move and higher property taxes are a huge problem. prop 19 limits taxes on wildfire victims so families can move without a tax penalty. nineteen will help rebuild lives. vote 'yes' on 19. later, but he was brilliant against the giants, but you know what maybe skyline high school would be too. the giants you know that the of course.

>>she was a not going to see her neck and a visitor in the hospital was no really horrible. you're not going to be there for her and she passed away nonstop every day and something else from so it was hurtful. survivors and family members whose loved ones passed away from covid-19 are angry and outraged that the president is downplaying the virus. >>indeed every body thanks for being with us tonight on kron 4 news at 8 o'clock i'm grant lotus and i'm vicki liviakis this then an hour ago. we learned that the president is ready to sign the stimulus checks for americans. this didn't just the latest back and forth today when it came to financial relief for americans. >>what went on in the white house, you know i don't want
