But despite the best efforts of [a] cruel few to destroy a private man, he is sober, happy, and as at peace as ever today because as long [as] his family needs him, he has not lost his purpose,” she wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tens of thousands of people retweeted Naomi’s thread, with the first post alone getting 55,700 likes and over 17,000 retweets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it really did cut through a lot of the noise, to see and to read this heartfelt testament to her father,” said Caputo. “I found that to be incredibly effective, incredibly thoughtful and incredibly loving.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Inauguration Day approaches, it remains unclear if some of the young adult members of the incoming first and second families will continue to be so public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As far as presidential history goes, Brower explained that some younger members of past first families have taken a step back after their family’s campaign ends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They tend to disappear,” she said. “I’m curious to see if the Biden grandchildren in particular really take this public-facing role once he’s in office,” Brower added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2020 NPR.

She’s an academic and artist who teaches ceramics classes to small children. Pretending to play with poop is normal, she says, as well as developmentally healthy, and not necessarily as expensive as the toy industry would have you think. Her young students do it whenever she shows them how to make clay pots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You roll these coils,” she says—and you can imagine what she has to say next: “We all know this looks like poop. Let’s get this out of our systems.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/CHYD0VbrYCV/\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For her Ph.D. in art education, Livingston \u003ca href=\"https://www.ideals.illinois.edu/handle/2142/90506\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">wrote a dissertation called \u003cem>The Gooey, the Bloody and the Just Plain Gross\u003c/em>\u003c/a>. So her discourse upon toys that poop is uncommonly elevated, with references to such French philosophers as Julia Kristeva and Georges Bataille. “Toys teach us to manage our disgust,” Livingston explains. “They help us understand who we are. Poop is part of you, but it’s not. It’s something that’s transformed inside of you, and that’s fascinating. It’s a sign of a well-regulated system, but it’s gross.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a very light taboo,” agrees Mary Higbe, the good-humored director of marketing for \u003ca href=\"https://www.goliathgames.us/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Goliath Games\u003c/a>, the third largest toy manufacturer in the U.S. One of its top sellers is a game called Doggie Doo. Higbe is quick to point out its prosocial messages of good citizenship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have a farting, pooping dog,” she concedes. “But you’ve also got the lessons learned because you have to clean up after the dog.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This trend may have something to do with the proliferation of children’s books such as \u003cem>Everyone Poops\u003c/em> and the “Captain Underpants” series, as well as the popular poop emoji. Not only can you buy any number of poop emoji toys and wearables for the special children in your life, there’s poop emoji air freshener and poop emoji wine for adults.) In 2017’s \u003cem>The Emoji Movie\u003c/em>, the poop emoji character was voiced by Sir Patrick Stewart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tma8Yf3BvgQ\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More evidence of civilization’s decline? Jack Reynolds in Denver would beg to differ. For him, poop emojis provide an opportunity for ontological reflection. “I think poop emojis poop out poop emojis,” he says. “And that just keeps going on forever.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even toys that poop, it seems, can be flush with meaning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2020 NPR.

She’s an academic and artist who teaches ceramics classes to small children.

Her young students do it whenever she shows them how to make clay pots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You roll these coils,” she says—and you can imagine what she has to say next: “We all know this looks like poop.

So her discourse upon toys that poop is uncommonly elevated, with references to such French philosophers as Julia Kristeva and Georges Bataille. “Toys teach us to manage our disgust,” Livingston explains. “They help us understand who we are. Poop is part of you, but it’s not. It’s something that’s transformed inside of you, and that’s fascinating. It’s a sign of a well-regulated system, but it’s gross.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a very light taboo,” agrees Mary Higbe, the good-humored director of marketing for \u003ca href=\"https://www.goliathgames.us/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Goliath Games\u003c/a>, the third largest toy manufacturer in the U.S. One of its top sellers is a game called Doggie Doo. Higbe is quick to point out its prosocial messages of good citizenship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have a farting, pooping dog,” she concedes. “But you’ve also got the lessons learned because you have to clean up after the dog.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This trend may have something to do with the proliferation of children’s books such as \u003cem>Everyone Poops\u003c/em> and the “Captain Underpants” series, as well as the popular poop emoji. Not only can you buy any number of poop emoji toys and wearables for the special children in your life, there’s poop emoji air freshener and poop emoji wine for adults.)

"content": "\u003cp>The holiday family romcom tends to go a certain way. The loving parents are having some kind of troubles (medical? financial? marital?) that they haven’t fully shared. The kids come home for the holidays, and they have their own things going on: they’re not ready to reveal a breakup, or they’re not happy about running into an ex, or they’re looking to introduce a new partner for the first time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Happiest Season \u003c/em>on Hulu is a variation on this oft-used theme, not that there’s anything wrong with that. Harper (Mackenzie Davis) is bringing her girlfriend Abby (Kristen Stewart) home to meet the family: father (Victor Garber), mother (Mary Steenburgen), nasty striver sister (Alison Brie), and needy middle sister (Mary Holland). The family will have to find some way to welcome Abby and ring in the holidays, right? And the sisters will all have to figure out a way to love each other? And we’ll learn that all these people have their own sadnesses? Sure. The complication is this: Not only has Harper’s family not met Abby, but they don’t know that Harper is gay, so when she brings Abby home, it’s on the pretext that Abby is just her roommate and pal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, the film goes to some lengths to try to create circumstances under which this could happen (because … why would you bring your girlfriend home if you weren’t out, and why would she go?), and they’re not terribly convincing, but that’s okay. Everybody is different, after all, and a little bit of going with the flow is very much expected in holiday movies and romcoms and especially in holiday romcoms. Once Abby gets there and understands the situation, she starts explaining it on the phone to her friend John (played by \u003cem>Schitt’s Creek\u003c/em>‘s Dan Levy), who coaches her about how to handle it, much like Lil Rel coached Daniel Kaluuya in \u003cem>Get Out\u003c/em>. There are some comedic set pieces, there’s some warm family business, and there’s Aubrey Plaza playing Harper’s ex, Riley, who plays a significant role in revealing how Harper got into this situation in the first place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h58HkQV1gHY\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The biggest challenge is that the character of Harper is … opaque, for lack of a better word. Her motives are a little hard to understand some of the time. That’s emphatically not because she’s not out to her parents—the film, directed by Clea Duvall, is sensitive about explaining explicitly that people not being out to their families doesn’t reflect poorly on them, and it doesn’t mean they don’t love their partners. But the particular ways Harper treats Abby, and the situations she puts Abby in, strain the necessary part of this story in which you root for this couple. Nobody wants to follow a romance that you sense will end with a couple together while increasingly thinking that … maybe they should break up? I never reached that point with \u003cem>Happiest Season\u003c/em>, but I wobbled a few times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it wasn’t because the characters were complex and flawed (though they are). It was because Harper isn’t nearly as well-rounded as Abby as a character. An early scene with the two sitting on a roof is asked to do too much work establishing Harper as a loving partner and explaining why they’re happy together. By the time Abby considers getting out of the family house (again, like in \u003cem>Get Out\u003c/em>), I wasn’t fully invested in whether she came back. In fairness, those delicate balances are really hard, and I think ultimately, the film gets away with the incomplete development of Harper because of the terrific cast. That means the leads, but also MVP drop-ins that I don’t want to spoil, and the presence of people like Mary Holland, who is one of the most indispensable comic actresses we have. Her every line reading kills, and she manages to make her character deeply funny but never pitiful; she might be the most decent person in the whole family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s particularly satisfying to see Kristen Stewart getting, and enjoying, this kind of work. She’s done plenty of good things that have established her acting chops, but this is a laid-back, charming, funny performance that makes Abby the clear hero of the movie, and the one with the most successfully excavated feelings. In an interesting bend to the formula, it’s Abby who winds up befriending Riley, and seeing the two women—Harper’s ex-partner and current partner—talk about what it’s like to be with her turns out to be perhaps more fun than seeing Abby and Harper together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This kind of dissection might make it sound like I didn’t enjoy the film, and I emphatically did. It’s funny, it’s charming, it’s warm, and it’s got a bunch of really good performances. It’s so good to see queer creators and characters given their own space in this kind of popular genre entertainment. Stewart is just terrific in it, and I don’t think the issue with Harper is Davis, considering how many things she’s also been terrific in. I think getting absolutely everything in balance with this kind of story is almost impossible, and to their credit, they come pretty close.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2020 NPR.

Fresh herbs like thyme and tarragon add a bit of that traditional Thanksgiving flavor, and the butter and olive oil in the stuffing helps keep the turkey moist and flavorful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ingredients\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>1 skin on, 2.5 lb. boneless turkey breast\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>salt and pepper\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>10 ounce maitake mushrooms (also called hen of the woods), cleaned and cut into small dice\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>3 tbsp olive oil\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 small shallot, minced\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 large cloves garlic, minced\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>3 tbsp butter\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>4 ounce sunchokes, cleaned and cut into small dice\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>3 to 4 tbsp fine breadcrumbs\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, chopped\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tbsp fresh chives, chopped\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 tbsp fresh tarragon, chopped\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>zest of one lemon, grated on a Microplane\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tsp lemon juice\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Directions\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Preheat an oven to 375° F (190° C)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heat a large sauté pan on high.

Cook for another minute, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove to a bowl. You may have to do this a few times depending on the size of your pan. Add the sunchokes, bread crumbs, herbs, lemon and lemon zest. Stir. The mixture should form lumps. Use the last tablespoon of breadcrumbs if it doesn’t stick together a bit. Taste and adjust seasonings. Set aside to cool. [aside postid='food_1337226']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dry the turkey breast with a clean paper towel, and place on a board skin side down. Butterfly the thick portion of the breast so that you have a mostly even thickness and so you have a rough rectangle of meat that when rolled, will be covered by the skin. Season with salt and pepper on both sides. With the skin side down, spread the mushroom mixture evenly on the meat, leaving a 1-2 inch border at the farthest side where you will end the rolling. Starting from the side closest to you, roll the meat into a cylinder. Tie with a butcher string along the length of the roll to hold it all together. This may be done up to a day before cooking if desired. Just take the roll out of the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before cooking to come to room temp.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Place the roll, seam side down on a rack elevated over a roasting pan filled with a thin layer of water.

Fresh herbs like thyme and tarragon add a bit of that traditional Thanksgiving flavor, and the butter and olive oil in the stuffing helps keep the turkey moist and flavorful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I didn’t know how to find answers to assert myself to do something. And then a friend of mine sent me a quote by Toni Morrison that said this is precisely the time when artists go to work. There’s no time for despair. No place for self pity. No need for silence. No room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language, that is how civilizations heal. And so I wrote. I used my words to scream, to shout, to sort of lift up my voice to shine a little light for the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I wanted to write this as a reminder to Black children and families to remember their humanity. I wanted to write it as sort of a wake-up call to white Americans to acknowledge and know the truth, to fight against a proclivity to maintain the hierarchy, whether conscious or not. I think of these poems as sort of negro spirituals in a way—which are timeless in their comfort and their guidance and their roots in praise houses and ring shouts and other informal gatherings of enslaved Africans who needed to express their sorrows and their hopes, wading in the water. \u003cem>Nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen\u003c/em>. \u003cem>Steal away to Jesus\u003c/em>. That’s what these poems are for me. They are psalms and balms for my soul and hopefully for our souls so that we can get on with the business of making the world a better place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On the parallels he sees in James Baldwin’s \u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>A Report From Occupied Territory, \u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/report-occupied-territory/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">an essay written in 1966 about police brutality\u003c/a>, and what the nation is going through today—and on his own writing in this tradition\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think [it’s] in the sense that Baldwin was crying out. It was a plea for our humanity, for the humanity of Black people in particular, of oppressed people in general, to be recognized. I don’t know if I’m writing a plea more so that I’m making a demand and that I’m saying we’ve got to reclaim our own humanity and cannot allow ourselves to be defined by other people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The wound, the wound has been here. The wound has been here since Africans first arrived on these shores. These episodes of police killings and brutality—they’ve existed for 400 years. I wrote this to remind us of the tragedy, while also showcasing the triumph. The only way for us to do things better in the future is to understand what we did wrong in the past. I do think that we are at a critical boiling point of resistance in America and you see whites and Blacks and all Americans coming together to stand up for what’s right. We’ve got to all say that we are fired up and we can’t take no more and I think that’s what’s happening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2020 NPR.

I didn’t know how to find answers to assert myself to do something. And then a friend of mine sent me a quote by Toni Morrison that said this is precisely the time when artists go to work. There’s no time for despair. No place for self pity. No need for silence. No room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language, that is how civilizations heal. And so I wrote. I used my words to scream, to shout, to sort of lift up my voice to shine a little light for the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I wanted to write this as a reminder to Black children and families to remember their humanity. I wanted to write it as sort of a wake-up call to white Americans to acknowledge and know the truth, to fight against a proclivity to maintain the hierarchy, whether conscious or not. I think of these poems as sort of negro spirituals in a way—which are timeless in their comfort and their guidance and their roots in praise houses and ring shouts and other informal gatherings of enslaved Africans who needed to express their sorrows and their hopes, wading in the water. \u003cem>Nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen\u003c/em>. \u003cem>Steal away to Jesus\u003c/em>. That’s what these poems are for me. They are psalms and balms for my soul and hopefully for our souls so that we can get on with the business of making the world a better place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On the parallels he sees in James Baldwin’s \u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>A Report From Occupied Territory, \u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/report-occupied-territory/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">an essay written in 1966 about police brutality\u003c/a>, and what the nation is going through today—and on his own writing in this tradition\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think [it’s] in the sense that Baldwin was crying out. It was a plea for our humanity, for the humanity of Black people in particular, of oppressed people in general, to be recognized. I don’t know if I’m writing a plea more so that I’m making a demand and that I’m saying we’ve got to reclaim our own humanity and cannot allow ourselves to be defined by other people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The wound, the wound has been here. The wound has been here since Africans first arrived on these shores. These episodes of police killings and brutality—they’ve existed for 400 years. I wrote this to remind us of the tragedy, while also showcasing the triumph. The only way for us to do things better in the future is to understand what we did wrong in the past. I do think that we are at a critical boiling point of resistance in America and you see whites and Blacks and all Americans coming together to stand up for what’s right. We’ve got to all say that we are fired up and we can’t take no more and I think that’s what’s happening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2020 NPR.

"content": "\u003cp>Who could’ve predicted chess sets might become as difficult to find as toilet paper during the early weeks of the pandemic? Not Gerrick Johnson. The toy analyst with BMO Capital Markets found himself stymied while searching for a particular Cardinal chess set a few weeks ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was sold out everywhere I went,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sales of chess sets have skyrocketed, says Mary Higbe, director of marketing at Goliath Games. The company sells six different kinds of chess sets, including those familiar red-boxed Pressman sets you’ve probably seen in the toy aisle at Walmart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our October sales for chess were up 178% over the same period last year,” Higbe says. That’s a big increase. But something else unexpected happened at the end of the month. Now, she says, “our chess sales are up \u003cem>1,048%.\u003c/em>”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every so often a game comes along that captures the popular imagination. In November 2020, that game is chess. The reason? A Netflix period drama that debuted in late October.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDrieqwSdgI\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ever since \u003cem>The Queen’s Gambit\u003c/em> launched, our chess sales have increased triple digits,” marvels Elizabeth LoVecchio, vice-president of marketing at Spin Master. The huge toy company has a division of classic games—such as chess, checkers and backgammon—that owns about 70% of the market share in the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LoVecchio says sales of these games started spiking back when people first hunkered down last spring and played games with people in their bubbles to keep themselves entertained. But what’s happening with chess sales since \u003cem>The Queen’s Gambit \u003c/em>is “unprecedented—and we anticipate our sales rising further,” she adds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chess set sales are rising in the secondary market as well. eBay registered a 215% increase in chess set and accessory sales since \u003cem>The Queen’s Gambit\u003c/em> hit Netflix, with shoppers seeking out wooden chess sets nine times more than plastic, electronic or glass ones, according to an eBay spokesperson. Toy analyst Gerrick Johnson now warns that demand will outstrip supply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Six months ago, a year ago, these retailers weren’t saying, let’s load up on chess sets,” he notes. “Good luck finding a chess set this holiday!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both LoVecchio and Higbe agree a chess shortage may be added to 2020’s woes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Oh, for sure. I believe it,” Higbe says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chess has long been alluring, even dramatic. But \u003cem>The Queen’s Gambit \u003c/em>makes it seem accessible, Higbe adds. And that just adds to the appeal of a game that’s both eminently affordable and pleasingly different every time you play it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have to have patience. You have to really think about strategy. You have to plan ahead,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Valuable skills for playing chess—and getting through the dark few months before us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13889573\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13889573\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/11/tqg_102_unit_01575rc-dcc43554f1f93051bfcc1f4d356e6ea0d29e807a-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Beth (Anya Taylor-Joy) destroys an opponent (Jacob Fortune-Lloyd) in 'The Queen's Gambit.'\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Beth (Anya Taylor-Joy) destroys an opponent (Jacob Fortune-Lloyd) in ‘The Queen’s Gambit.’\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2020 NPR.

The company sells six different kinds of chess sets, including those familiar red-boxed Pressman sets you’ve probably seen in the toy aisle at Walmart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our October sales for chess were up 178% over the same period last year,” Higbe says. That’s a big increase. But something else unexpected happened at the end of the month. Now, she says, “our chess sales are up \u003cem>1,048%.\u003c/em>”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every so often a game comes along that captures the popular imagination. In November 2020, that game is chess.

The huge toy company has a division of classic games—such as chess, checkers and backgammon—that owns about 70% of the market share in the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LoVecchio says sales of these games started spiking back when people first hunkered down last spring and played games with people in their bubbles to keep themselves entertained. But what’s happening with chess sales since \u003cem>The Queen’s Gambit \u003c/em>is “unprecedented—and we anticipate our sales rising further,” she adds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chess set sales are rising in the secondary market as well. eBay registered a 215% increase in chess set and accessory sales since \u003cem>The Queen’s Gambit\u003c/em> hit Netflix, with shoppers seeking out wooden chess sets nine times more than plastic, electronic or glass ones, according to an eBay spokesperson. Toy analyst Gerrick Johnson now warns that demand will outstrip supply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Six months ago, a year ago, these retailers weren’t saying, let’s load up on chess sets,” he notes. “Good luck finding a chess set this holiday!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both LoVecchio and Higbe agree a chess shortage may be added to 2020’s woes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Oh, for sure. I believe it,” Higbe says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chess has long been alluring, even dramatic. But \u003cem>The Queen’s Gambit \u003c/em>makes it seem accessible, Higbe adds. And that just adds to the appeal of a game that’s both eminently affordable and pleasingly different every time you play it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have to have patience.

"content": "\u003cp>The unspoken rules of gathering the cast of a beloved TV show for a reunion special are familiar: Gin up the nostalgia and warm, fuzzy feels. Montages and clip reels highlight the memorable onscreen moments from years past, as everyone jovially reminisces about the time spent playing and creating together on set. If a key member is absent because of behind-the-scenes drama or personal setbacks, try to avoid acknowledging they were ever a part of the show in the first place, and/or gloss over any tensions that might spoil the lovefest. Put on a happy face.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003cem>Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Reunion Special\u003c/em>, now on HBO Max, follows this rule faithfully for more than half of its run time. Will Smith, Alfonso Ribeiro (Carlton Banks), Tatyana Ali (Ashley Banks), Karyn Parsons (Hilary Banks), Joseph Marcell (Jeffrey, the butler), Daphne Maxwell Reid (Aunt Viv #2) and DJ Jazzy Jeff sit on a recreation of the Banks family mansion set, recounting audition stories and favorite scenes in honor of the 30\u003csup>th\u003c/sup> anniversary of the hit sitcom’s premiere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghMFFe2Q9hA\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But then, right around the 45-minute mark (and immediately following a genuinely moving tribute to the late James Avery, who played the show’s indelible patriarch, Uncle Phil), this \u003cem>Fresh Prince \u003c/em>reunion dispenses with rules and pleasantries to address the giant elephant in the room—the \u003ca href=\"https://www.huffpost.com/entry/janet-hubert-will-smith-feud-fired_n_3249314\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">highly publicized fallout\u003c/a> between Smith and Janet Hubert, who was unceremoniously replaced by Reid in her role as Aunt Viv in the show’s final three seasons. For the first time in 27 years, Smith and Hubert come together to clear the air.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It felt like I couldn’t celebrate 30 years of \u003cem>Fresh Prince\u003c/em> without finding a way to celebrate Janet,” Smith tells his castmates, before showing them, and us, video of their pre-taped meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What’s most striking about their exchange is how familiar Hubert’s story is for women in the workplace. During Season 3 when she became pregnant, she says, she was facing challenges in her personal life (her then-husband was abusive and unemployed), which indirectly bled into how she approached her work on set. Hubert says this led to the much more powerful Smith painting her on set and in the media as someone who was “difficult” to work with, and that she was told he was responsible for her being forced out. When she was offered a new, restrictive contract—she would only work two and a half months out of the year, her salary would be cut, and she would be prohibited from accepting other jobs outside of \u003cem>Fresh Prince—\u003c/em>she refused to accept the offer. [aside postid='pop_108150']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hubert points out that she was never “unprofessional” on set, only more reserved. It’s hard to hear such a revelation and not think of the many ways in which this echoes the corporate mindset of bosses who tout the workplace and colleagues as “family” so as to ignore the fact that, for their employees, this is their livelihood; they deserve to be paid a living wage, to have lives outside of work, to just be human. Smith and his other co-stars talk a lot about how much they enjoyed their experience on \u003cem>Fresh Prince \u003c/em>and how it didn’t feel like they were doing a job so much as they were part of a tight-knit family. That’s a heartwarming and admirable kind of environment to exist in, but it’s rarely the reality for everyone. And it doesn’t leave room for accepting that it’s OK to treat your job like it’s actually a job, too—especially if your mental health and well-being outside of work is suffering.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hubert is candid and specific in how this mischaracterization of her attitude and work ethic tarnished her career, particularly as a dark-skinned woman: “Calling a black woman difficult in Hollywood is the kiss of death.” The actress Mo’Nique, among many others, can certainly attest to this, having said she’s been blackballed in the industry since refusing to campaign for \u003cem>Precious \u003c/em>without the promise of additional pay. (“We got labeled as ‘difficult’ because I said one word, and that was: ‘No,'” she \u003ca href=\"https://deadline.com/2019/02/steve-harvey-and-monique-get-into-tense-exchange-1202557010/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">told Steve Harvey last year\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Smith’s part, he admits he was neither “sensitive” nor “perceptive” to Hubert’s troubles during her pregnancy, and seems genuinely contrite for how he treated her. He also notes that at the time he was still very young and immature, and that now, having been married with kids of his own, he’s grown to understand what she was up against at that time in her life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as Hubert gently but sternly notes, the damage was done, and while Will was able to move forward and achieve greater and greater success post-\u003cem>Fresh Prince\u003c/em>, she’s never had that chance. “You took all that away from me with your words. Words can kill.” It’s a harsh reminder of the power of perception, and how so many men are able to wield that power swiftly and devastatingly against women who don’t bend to their will.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s deep sadness to be felt in the profound loss, both for Hubert’s career and for the later seasons of \u003cem>Fresh Prince. \u003c/em>Her performance as Aunt Viv was groundbreaking in its depiction of a woman who looked like her possessing a range of emotions and attitudes on TV in that era. Hubert could easily glide between saucy and elegant and righteous, often in a single scene. [aside postid='pop_104883']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As unsettling as the circumstances of this conversation are, its existence here is also refreshing. For all of the enduring popularity of \u003cem>Fresh Prince\u003c/em> and the general goodwill Smith has managed to maintain in the decades since becoming one of Hollywood’s biggest movie stars, Hubert’s departure has long loomed over the show’s legacy. To address it so directly is a smart P.R. move on Smith’s part—if there’s any actor working today who exudes the need to please crowds and be liked by everyone, it’s him—but it also feels like exactly what Hubert needed in order to provide closure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while they may never share the same strong ties as Smith has with the rest of his co-stars, she at least she seems at peace. For those few moments, funnily enough, the special feels like an actual family reunion with real stakes, as the estranged relatives awkwardly and uncomfortably confront one another, let it all out, and, finally and cathartically, reach reconciliation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2020 NPR.

Produced in the midst of the pandemic, with its bakers and hosts living in their very own \u003cem>Bake Off\u003c/em> bubble—and with a new cohost, comedian Matt Lucas, best known in the U.S. for the sketch show \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4960364\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Little Britain\u003c/a>\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I did not imagine that I’d become a television host,” Lucas says, “and I had never even seen the show until I went really to try out for it … I got this call on the Friday saying, ‘Would you test for the \u003cem>Bake Off\u003c/em>?’ And I said, ‘I’ve never seen the\u003cem> Bake Off\u003c/em>. I know it’s really, really popular, but I mainly watch soccer and documentaries.’ So my agent said, ‘Well, look, just watch an episode tonight and if you like it, you can test on Tuesday.’ And so I went for dinner with my family, and then I came home and I put on an episode—and then another one, and then another one.
