Hello everyone! We're going into #TheUpdate vault to play one of our many episodes throughout our many years of the show. For today's episode, we go into the world of 2020- or as we call it around here, Year 4 of The Update. It was a weird year- starting off in the WKRB studios and then going out on the road (in the middle of a pandemic no less!), but somehow, we found a way to make it work. Oh, and one last thing about this episode- after the show aired, one of my former producers who happened to be listening to the show called me up and invited me out to lunch. How about that?

On today’s bonus edition of The Update Journal, we’re stepping into two different kinds of chaos. First up: Jimmy Kimmel is back on the air after his suspension was quietly lifted, which means Disney has officially decided it’s safer to deal with angry late-night monologues than angry mobs camped out on their front lawn. And then there’s the Mets — oh, the Mets — who are somehow flirting with a collapse so spectacular it could rival 2007 and 2008. Translation: if the Mets and Reds both finish with the same record, the Mets finish even further out of the playoffs due to the Reds' tiebreaker.

In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Tuesday, while close to 150 world leaders prepared to descend on Manhattan for the U.N. General Assembly, the U.S. Secret Service was quietly dismantling a massive hidden telecom network across the New York area — a system investigators say could have crippled cell towers, jammed 911 calls and flooded networks with chaos at the very moment the city was most vulnerable.

We continue our coverage of The Road To City Hall. With six weeks to go until the general election, mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani said he’s willing to appear at a town hall hosted by a local ABC station now that the national network says it will reinstate Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show.

And in Washington, President Trump used the platform of the presidency to promote unproven and in some cases discredited ties between Tylenol, vaccines and autism as his administration announced a wide-ranging effort to study the causes of the complex brain disorder.

In The Update Journal: If I wasn’t covering the news today, I’d probably be…

In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Monday, we continue our coverage of The Road To City Hall. With 43 days to go until the general election, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, the House Democratic Minority leader from Brooklyn, is in discussions to endorse lefty Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani for mayor, sources said. Meanwhile, “A substantial” number of Gen Z voters supporting socialist NYC mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani have been brainwashed by leftist ideology into an army of “nasty,” USA-hating radicals — who routinely accost rival Mayor Eric Adams on the campaign trail.

A Bronx man was fatally shot on the sidewalk near his home after a witness said they heard two men arguing, police sources said.

And in the American West, President Trump praised Charlie Kirk as a “great American hero” and “martyr” for freedom as he and other prominent conservatives gathered Sunday evening to honor the slain conservative political activist whose work they say they must now advance.
