Overnight Briefing & General Reality Check - Sep 9, 2020

The brand-new “DREW BARRYMORE Show” premieres next Monday (September 14th) on CBS featuring a reunion with Drew and fellow “Charlie’s Angels” angels, CAMERON DIAZ and LUCY LIU, as well as her “50 First Dates” co-star ADAM SANDLER.

DEREK HOUGH, one of the pros on "Dancing With The Stars" in the past, has now re-joined the show as a judge for the show’s new season. He's replacing LEN GOODMAN, who ABC sez had to leave his spot on the judges panel because of circumstances surrounding the coronavirus pandemic. Len will be part of the show, but will be doing it from his home in the UK. As you know, TYRA BANKS is also hosting the show this season, taking over from ERIN ANDREWS and TOM BERGERON.

Over in France, an 80-year-old man was eating his dinner when he noticed a fly would not stop buzzing around him. SO he picked up his electric fly swatter and went to swat the fly. What he didn't know is there was a gas leak in his house, and the BBC reports the electric fly swatter ignited the gas and caused part of his kitchen to blow up. The guy was lucky, since only his hand was burned, but his family now has to make repairs to his house while he recovers at a nearby campsite. PS: You can pick up one of those electric fly swatters for yourself at Amazon.com for between $7 and $12 dollars...

You could see this coming: Last month, when nearly 500-thousand people packed the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota, you saw most of the cyclists without face coverings as they celebrated the event. Now, Mother Jones Daily newsletter reports over 250-thousand coronavirus cases have now been tied to the 10-day event. One study reports the explosion in cases could wind up costing nearly $12-billion dollars in public health costs.
