Mariana Van Zeller of Nat Geo's "Trafficked" is here momentarily to talk about being caught in last year's military coup in Niger while reporting on gold mining there that funds terrorist cells (so clearly she got out). #TCA24

Hadn’t expected PBS to celebrate “Disco: Soundtrack of a Revolution.” The new three-part documentary series comes June 18 (but is produced by BBC studios). #TCA24

No need to explain this season’s end of “Young Sheldon”; star Iain Armitage is twice as tall as he was when the spinoff started in 2019. #TCA24

Super slim Billy Gardell, who lost 150 pounds, looks more like a TV detective than star of “Bob 🫀Abishola.” “I lost a baseball team,” he says on set. #TCA24
