Watch these pre-school kids from Kids Putnam in Cookeville talk about Easter.

WARNING: CUTENESS OVERLOAD!

Garry Shandling passed away suddenly yesterday of a massive heart attack at the age of 66. He got his start by writing an episode of Sanford and Son in the late ’70s. He went on to become a regular guest host for The Tonight Show and headline two TV series, It’s Garry Shandling’s Show and The Larry Sanders Show. He recently appeared in Iron Man 2and Captain America: Winter Solider in a non-comedic role. Here are some responses on twitter from his comedy friends and famous fans.

Jimmy Kimmel: “Garry Shandling was as kind and generous as he was funny and that is saying a lot.”

Seth Meyers: “Heartbreaking news about Garry Shandling. Just heartbreaking.”

Amy Schumer: “Goodbye, Gary Shandling, thank you for your kindness and your generosity and for making me laugh so damn much.”

Steve Martin: “Garry Shandling was a very special comedian with a beautifully unpredictable mind. He even voluntarily offered jokes and ideas for the Oscars.”

Ricky Gervais: “RIP the great Garry Shandling. Surely, one of the most influential comedians of a generation.”

Kathy Griffin: “Sunday, my longtime friend Garry Shandling was here, making everyone laugh. I loved him. I’ll miss our talks the most.”

Albert Brooks: “R.I.P. Garry Shandling. I am so saddened to hear this. Brilliantly funny and such a great guy. He will be so missed.”

Seth MacFarlane: “Saddened over Garry Shandling. He was a comedy idol of mine. He leaves behind the greatest single-camera comedy of all time. #LarrySanders”

Dane Cook: “Garry Shandling, you were and always will be comedy gold. #gonewaytoosoon #rip #alwaysfunny”

On his Facebook page, Alan Zweibel, the co-creator of The Larry Sanders Show, wrote. “Today I lost a friend and comedy partner. Shocked beyond description. R.I.P. Garry Shandling. Make God laugh the way you did all who knew and loved you.”

I asked Jennifer Olson from Bella Boutique in Cookeville to tell us about what’s hot in prom & Easter attire. Mom & Daughter outfits…..little boys, grown men & women……..What do you wear at your Easter photo shoot?

Tax day is coming soon. April 15th is the deadline to file. That being said is there anything you’d be willing to do to avoid paying taxes for the rest of your life. Here are some things people are willing to do to avoid paying Uncle Sam:

1.  Get an “IRS” tattoo, 27% would do it.
2.  Move to a different country, 16%.
3.  Clean the toilets at Chipotle for three years, 11%.
4.  Stop talking for six months, 10%.
5.  Name your first-born child “Taxes,” 8%.
6.  Sell a kidney, 6%.
7.  Assuming you’d get away with it, murder someone, 4%.
8.  Spend a year in prison, 4%.

This should be a fun duo.  Katy Perry will sing a duet with Dolly Parton at this year’s ACM awards. There’s almost 4 decades of difference between the two, but both are timeless. Katy has ties to Tennessee. When she was starting out, she wrote with some of the Nashville songwriters to fine tune her craft. She also LOVES Dollywood. When she was doing a concert in Nashville, she took her entire crew to the theme park the day before the show! Catch Dolly & Katy’s duet Sunday,  April 3rd on CBS.

If you missed my show Friday morning, you missed hearing J-Lo talk about her new show Shades Of Blue on NBC. It’s been picked up for another season. She plays tough but cool detective Harlee Santos.  Take a listen……

Here’s something to bring to your bosses: A new study has shown that employees who break up their day with funny videos online are more productive and work longer hours than people who don’t spend time online during the work day. They are able to hit the reset button and take on their tasks with more energy and enthusiasm. That means watching funny cat videos in the middle of your monotonous day will make work productivity go through the roof. Here’s some help. Rapper Moshow has written a song about his love of cats……..
