“Tony

Bennett Celebrates 90: The Best Is Yet to Come” airs Tuesday on NBC.

A legend marks a milestone on ‘Tony Bennett Celebrates 90’

BY GEORGE DICKIE

T ony Bennett recalls a piece of sage advice from vocal coach Mimi Speer that set the young jazz singer on a path to success: don’t imitate another singer, imitate an instrumentalist.

“Art Tatum was the greatest piano player at that time,” Bennett explains. “In fact, he still is and I loved the way he phrased his recordings. And then (saxophonist) Stan Getz had a beautiful melodic sound that I liked. So I got those two things.

“In other words, she said, ‘If you imitate another singer, you’re just going to be one of the chorus. You’re never going to make it.’ ” he says. “... But if you just be yourself and get influenced by great musicians that are performing well and just be yourself no matter what, she said, by being yourself you’re automatically different from anybody else.”

No one can argue that Bennett isn’t a unique American talent, one whose career spans more than

60 years, multiple gold and platinum records and 19 Grammy Awards. His career and his life is celebrated in “Tony Bennett Celebrates 90: The Best Is Yet to Come.”

Airing Tuesday, Dec. 20, on NBC, the two-hour special that was taped in September at New York’s Radio City Music Hall marks Bennett’s 90th birthday (which was actually on Aug. 3) with an evening of music from an all-star lineup of performers that includes Andrea Bocelli, Michael Buble, Aretha Franklin, Billy Joel, Elton John, Diana Krall, Stevie Wonder and Lady Gaga. Others who appear include Alec Baldwin, Kevin Spacey, Steve Buscemi, John Travolta, Bruce Willis and Homer Simpson.

One of the highlights of the evening came from Gaga, his collaborator on the hit 2014 release “Cheek to Cheek,” who wowed the crowd and Bennett with a knockout version of “The Lady Is a Tramp.”

“It couldn’t have been better ... it was so beautiful the way she performed,” Bennett says. “Last year, we did quite a few shows internationally, throughout all of Europe and then America and she did wonderful wherever we went.”

Bennett recalls first meeting Gaga at a benefit concert in New York and being impressed by her talent and the crowd’s reaction to her.

“I never heard an audience adore anybody as much as they adored Lady Gaga ...,” he says. “So I went backstage and she was backstage with her mother and father and we really hit it off. And right from the beginning, she said, ‘Let’s do an album together.’ And I said, ‘Great, that’s terrific.’ And we did.”

The special returned Bennett to his favorite venue, Radio City, the historic Midtown Manhattan theater known for its perfect acoustics. In the birthday show, Bennett put down the microphone to perform “Fly Me to the Moon” without amplification of his voice.

fitting of all for Bennett came courtesy of a quintessentially New York landmark.

But in a night of tributes, perhaps the most

“(That was the) moment the Empire State (Building) put up the Italian colors ... celebrating my 90th birthday,” he says. “That was pretty wonderful. It was unbelievable. ... That’s New York.”

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT ‘SCANDAL’ SEASON 6

Let’s run through everything we know about “Scandal,” Season 6.

What Is Up Right Away

Right away, what is up is that it’s still Election Night: We don’t know who wins the presidency, but given recent developments in the real-life events that now seem based on the show, we can hazard a guess. Mellie’s not Mellie unless she’s getting burned.

What Is Up With the Election

Last we saw, Mellie (Bellamy Young) was the first female Republican nominee, backed up by former assassin and NSA Director Jake Ballard (Scott Foley). In the other corner were Democrat Francisco Vargas (Ricardo Chavira) and shockingly, the former White House chief of staff Cyrus Beene (Jeff Perry).

Rendered out of the campaigns by various machinations were professional creeper Elizabeth “Lizzy Bear” North (Portia de Rossi), former VP and presidential hopeful Susan Ross (Artemis Pebdani), and their boy-

friend, Attorney General David Rosen (Joshua Malina).

Standing nearby with a drink in his hand was the outgoing president, Fitzgerald “Fitz” Thomas Grant III (Tony Goldwyn) and the object of his and everyone else’s affections, crisis manager and creator Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington).

What Is Up With the Premiere

“Survival of the Fittest” is written by Shonda Rhimes and directed by executive producer Tom Verica, aka Annalise’s charming bastard of a late husband on “How to Get Away With Murder.” It involves at least one explosion, one or more dead bodies, a hospital visit, and possibly a mysterious cabin in the woods.

What Is Up With This Cabin Quinn (Katie Lowes) and Huck (Guillermo Diaz) go there, so clearly it will contain menace, monstrosity, brutality and/or Charlie

BY LINDSAY MACDONALD @ZAP2IT.COM

(George Newbern), who is always around when things get weird.

What Is Up with Fitz

Goldwyn told Hollywood Reporter that Fitz will be “much happier” in this new phase of his life – while the cast compared him to other ex-presidents in their retirement years, we’re thinking Fitz will be more Clinton than Carter – and executive producer Betsy Beers described him as getting to do “anything” he wants.

Fitz has always been a charming little stinker just waiting to go buck wild, so keeping him in play will probably be the single most hilarious move the show could make.

That, or he will continue to weep, rage drunkenly, and make Olivia’s life ten times messier than she could ever accomplish on her own.

“Scandal” Season 6 premieres Jan. 19 at 9 p.m. ET/PT – less than 24 hours before President Trump’s inauguration – on ABC.

Sweetening the pot as Christmas approaches

Nothing says Christmas like a heaping help- ing of holiday sweets, which is the subject of a bevy of Food Network and Cooking Channel programming airing this week.

Sunday, Dec. 18, on Food is the season finale of “Holiday Baking Championship,” which finds the final three bakers tasked with making snacks for North Pole characters other than Santa and a North Pole-inspired cake. The best creations, as determined by judges Nancy Fuller, Duff Goldman and Lorraine Pascale, wins $50,000 and is crowned Holiday Baking Champion. Bobby Deen is the host. Also wrapping up its season is Food’s “Cake Wars: Christmas” on Monday, Dec. 19. Here, the battle takes place on two fronts: the kitchen, where the final two teams must create an edible Rudolph’s Christmas card; and in the yard, where they must deck the halls with the ultimate Christmas front yard. Judges Charles Phoenix, Sherry Yard and Kristi Yamaguchi name the winner.

Over on Cooking Channel on Tuesday, Dec. 20, is “Sugar Showdown,” where the elimination round challenges the bakers to incorporate eggnog in a donut, pie or cupcake. A Christmasthemed cake showdown then reveals a Holiday Champion – at least in the opinion of judges Jeff Mahin, Laura Vitale and Pascale. It’s not Christmas without Grandma, and the Sunday season finale of Food’s “Clash of the Grandmas” tasks the contestants with several unusual challenges, among them making pizza in a waffle iron, turning a frozen daiquiri into a

dessert, and combining Hawaiian and Mexican cuisines.

Also on Sunday is Cooking’s “Unique Sweets,” which heads to Dallas/Fort Worth to check out Texas-inspired confections including enormous deep-fried fritters, smoky toffee with bacon and sundaes with ingredients such as goat cheese, honey black pepper and roasted strawberries. And then, of course, there’s the ice cream taco. On a different note, Cooking’s Saturday, Dec. 24, episode of “UpRooted” finds France-transplanted American chef Sarah Sharratt reveling in local truffle season, preparing a dinner of truffled brie, champagne risotto with truffles, and beef tenderloin with perigord truffle sauce, finishing off with a dessert of chocolate truffles. Yum.

Thursday, Dec. 22, on Cooking, “Cheap Eats” brings host Ali Khan to Bozeman, Mont., where he dines on elk burger, bison pepperoni and farm-to-table fresh benedict and summer sausage. He also discovers a huckleberry bar. The farm-fresh theme continues on the Sunday episode of Cooking’s “Unwrapped 2.0,” in which host Alfonso Ribeiro showcases ingredi- ents that go into famous foods such as Benton’s bacon, Carolina Foods’ Duchess Pecan Pies and Trinity Frozen Foods’ Southern Sweet Potato Fries.

And if you’re looking ahead to the new year, the Tuesday episode of Food’s “Chopped” holds its first-ever New Year’s party highlighted by ingredients baskets full of pricey items such as caviar.

‘This Old House’s’ Abram spearheads effort to draw more people into building trades

Anyone who has ever tried to get a decent plumber or electrician to do work on their home knows how difficult it is to track one down, let alone hire them.

And that’s for a very simple reason: There aren’t that many around. And worse, in the future there will be even fewer of them.

BY GEORGE DICKIE Norm Abram

That’s a problem people such as master carpenter Norm Abram of PBS’ long-running renovation series “This Old House” are trying to combat through the launch of a new charitable campaign Generation Next, which in partnership with Mike Rowe’s mikeroweWORKS Foundation will support scholarships for students interested in the construction trades.

“In my conversations with various contractors and subcontractors, the first question I usually ask is ‘What’s the most difficult problem you’re facing right now?’ ” Abram says. “And their answer is always, ‘Trying to find good skilled workers and people who want to be involved in the trades.’ And the deficit is getting bigger and bigger and I think it’s kind of gotten to the critical mass where if we don’t really do something serious about it right now, there’ll come a time where people will pick up their phone to call for a plumber or electrician to come and do some work or repairs on their house and they’re just not going to be there.”

The battle, says Abram, is twofold: combating the public perception on the necessity of a four-year college education for a successful life and educating people on what the building trades are all about and how challenging and even cerebral they can be.

“They do take a little while to learn,” Abram says, “but they are very rewarding. I mean, all of us who do work in the trades who communicate with one another, we love our jobs. You know, it’s not just using your hands, it’s using your mind and solving problems. And the construction industry has gotten more complicated. I mean, the technology is changing, the materials are changing and so you have to get re-educated as well as learn the actual skills themselves.”

Abram and his colleagues have and will continue to address the problem on “This Old House” and even mentor young craftspeople on and off the show. But this outreach isn’t aimed at only the young, says Abram. It’s also open to anyone who might be considering a career change.

“I think people in their thirties and forties who are looking for a career change, if they get exposed to it, they just go, ‘Wow, I didn’t realize how rewarding this occupation can be,’ ” Abram says. “And then it has a financial benefit as well. You know, these things don’t happen on their own. Construction and building of homes and repair of homes is a big thing in this country and we need to keep it going.”

Terry Fator, recently seen on “America’s Got Talent Holiday Spectacular” on NBC

“Of course, I record ‘America’s Got Talent.’

I’ve got to do that. I’m an avid watcher and I vote. ... We like to watch news shows like ‘60 Minutes’ and ‘20/20’ and things like that. So those kinds of things. ... We do really like that new show ‘This Is Us.’

That’s one my wife and I like to watch together.”

OF

'CMA COUNTRY CHRISTMAS' SATURDAY ON ABC

Q: You’re on your seventh year of hosting “CMA Country Christmas.” Is it safe to assume you consider it a holiday tradition for yourself?

A: Yeah, I do love it. It is always such a pleasure every year. It’s an insane day because it’s so long – we shoot it live, with all the artists who are on it – and the opening is always a big, big number with lots of dancing and costumes and all those things. And there’s preparation days ahead with rehearsals, so it’s always a big undertaking, but it’s also a labor of love.

It’s so fun for me, not only as an artist to get to go out there and sing different music and celebrate other wonderful artists and what they bring during the Christmas season, but also to get to be part of a tradition for my fans. I hear people say all the time, “We all sit down and watch this together. It marks the holiday season for us.” And I love getting to be a par t of that.

Q: You’ve also been doing some holiday concerts in conjunction with your new album, “To Celebrate Christmas.” How has that gone?

A: I’ve never done a holiday show, per se. I’ve toured into December and I might throw a Christmas song in, but never having had a solo Christmas album before, I never planned a specific show around that … so this is really, really sweet for me.

Q: How was it to make your own Christmas album?

A: I love the sound of it. It’s very much me. I collaborated on it with Julian Raymond, who produced it, and it was so interesting to approach it. I was super-busy at the time it had to be recorded – most of the time, (Christmas albums) are done during the summer because they have to be turned in on time – so I jumped into it in August.

Josh McDermitt of “The Walking Dead” on AMC

Sabrina Britt of “Hollywood & Football” on E! Entertainment Television

“(Husband) Kenny and I, we love ‘Banshee.’ We love ‘The Blacklist.’ We love ‘Wayward Pines.’ ‘Law & Order: SVU.’ And this doesn’t come anymore but we used to be in love with ‘The Following.’ So if those shows aren’t on, to be honest we’ll just watch old episodes or movies. But we love like crime dramas and such. Oh, ‘Homeland.’ We love ‘Homeland.’ ”

“ ‘The Americans.’ I’m in the middle of ‘The Americans’ right now, trying to get caught up on that. And then also ‘Westworld’ but ... I’m not completely caught up. It’s hard to stay up on everything because there’s so much good stuff out there.”

Bengals’ A.J. Green one fast cat

The Cincinnati Bengals host their AFC North division rival the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday as part of CBS’ regional coverage. The Bengals are hoping that All-Pro wide receiver A.J. Green, one of their few bright spots, can return from a Nov. 20 hamstring injury to challenge the Steelers defense.

Since he came into the NFL in 2011, Green and the Bengals have shined only to come up short in the playoffs to end each of Green’s first five seasons. The Bengals have lost in the first round of the playoffs each year, including last year’s season-ending loss to the Steelers on a lastminute field goal in the Wild Card round.

Green continues to stand out in Cincy. That’s a continuation of a Hall-of-Fame type of career that Green started by being the only rookie ProBowl receiver (2011) since 2003, while hauling in more passes in his first three years than any other player. He and Randy Moss are the only two receivers with over 1,000 yards in each of their first five seasons, and before his injury, Green was a few yards short of the thousandyard mark for this season.

For the Bengals to turn things around this season, they’ll need the offense to continue to be productive, but they could use some help from a defense that is not measuring up to standards set in recent years. If he's healthy, look for Green, who caught his first postseason touchdown against the Steelers in that playoff loss, to be a prime target for quarterback Andy Dalton.

C h e c k i n g i n w i t h Checking in with

S. C L A U S MRS. CLAUS

BY STAFF WRITER

“Come in, get out of that cold,” Mrs. Claus says, ushering a visitor into her home. “I can’t imagine why you want to talk with me. Nick is the star of the show. But do sit down.”

She places a platter of gingerbread cookies and a mug of cocoa on a table, settles into a chair, and resumes knitting.

“Since you traveled all this way,” she says, glancing over the wire-rimmed glasses, “I’ll tell you what you want to know.”

Over a few days, as no one without a special sleigh commutes to the top of the world, Mrs. Claus reveals that, while of course she has a first name, it’s been wrongly reported over the years. She prefers to be addressed as Mrs. Claus.

She dismisses her own background as “pretty typical,” allowing only that she grew up in a large, happy family.

“Nick was my oldest brother’s friend, and we met when I was 17,” she says. “How could you not fall in love with that man? That laugh alone! And, it’s not just for Christmas.”

She declines to say how long ago that was.

Though the big guy gets the credit, Mrs. Claus doesn’t mind. She’s fine with the occasional appearance.

Everyone around here knows she runs a remarkable amount of the operation. And, this is a huge undertaking. Keeping Santa healthy for the holidays is nothing to be sneezed at either. I think we all remember the close call in 1974 where “The Year Without a Santa Claus” (airing Tuesday, Dec. 20, on Freeform) almost became a reality. Sick days are not allowed!

“Nick does keep track of the kids’ behavior throughout the year,” Mrs. Claus says, “but someone has to keep track of The List. We went high-tech a few years back, and some of the elves are rather handy with electronics, so that whole naughty and nice list is indeed on all of my devices. Of course it’s password protected, though no one really gets this far north without us knowing.”

Hometown: Alert, Canada, the northernmost inhabited place on Earth. “Except for here,” she says.

Pets: Reindeer

Pet peeve: Rogue elves

Always in refrigerator: Homemade eggnog

Exercise regimen: “You’re kidding, right?” she says. “My doctor told me to lose weight, lay off the cookies and try jogging. I’d rather not, dear.”

What she does in the off-season: “There’s no real off-season,” she says. “I insist Nick rest for a week after his big night, but once you’ve been everywhere, home is best. Of course I wouldn’t refuse a week in Bali or Paris.”

Favorite books: “ ‘ ’Twas the Night Before Christmas,’ and I love Ludwig Bemelmans’ ‘Madeline’s Christmas’ and Dickens’ ‘A Christmas Carol.’ ”

Favorite movies: “ ‘Miracle on 34th Street,’ ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ and anything with George Clooney. I am Mrs. Claus, but I’m not dead.”

Favorite music: “ ‘Messiah’ by Handel, ‘Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)’ by Darlene Love. That lady can sing! And Bing Crosby’s ‘White Christmas.’ ”

Late Night with Seth Meyers

According to reports, incoming White House chief of staff Reince Priebus tried to get Donald Trump to cancel today’s meeting with The New York Times because Trump could face questions he wasn’t prepared to answer. It’s the same reason he canceled yesterday’s meeting with Highlights Magazine.

President Obama today awarded 21 people with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Said Obama, “You’re free! Quick, go before he sees you!”

The Tonight Show

Starring Jimmy Fallon

Today is cyber Monday, which means tomorrow is “Russia has your credit card info Tuesday.” Experts are warning shoppers to check the spelling of websites on cyber Monday because there are lookalike sites that try to scam

you with a slight misspelling of a store’s name. Yep, they said if you want more info on this, just look it up on Goggle.

The Late Late Show With James Corden

Today, the stock market hit an alltime high. Which is great news, because if there’s one thing we’ve learned over the past decade it’s that if Wall Street executives are doing well, regular Americans are doing well.

The Dow Jones industrial average topped 19,000 today for the first time. When they heard that, Americans everywhere nodded in approval as if they actually know what the Dow Jones industrial average is.

Jimmy Kimmel Live President-elect Donald Trump is in the process of building his Cabinet right now and it’s going to be a solid gold Cabinet full of all the finest snacks. This is kind of nutty. One of the names on Trump’s short list for attorney general is Senator Ted Cruz. Who, of course, was Trump’s bitter rival on the campaign trail. This is going to be like if Tupac hired Biggie to be his head of security.

Conan O’Brien

Trump was seen wearing a hat that says “45” on the side, signifying that he will be the 45th president. Or the total number of days before he quits being president. He’s like, “It’s been fun — it’s been a fun month and a half. You take it from here, Pence.”

Donald Trump said he will not try and send Hillary Clinton to jail. After hearing this, Bill Clinton said, “Hey, you promised.”

news, look for...
