Trivia: Jon Lovitz is a versatile comedic actor instantly recognizable for his distinctive voice, acerbic wit, pear-shaped body, and hangdog eyes. He studied at the University of California, Irvine, and participated in the Film Actors Workshop. He then went on to do guest spots on TV and had a recurring role on Foley Square. Lovitz also played small roles in Last Resort (1986), and Ratboy (1986), and also provided a voice for the animated feature The Brave Little Toaster (1987). He got his first real break as a regular on TV's Saturday Night Live, where his characters such as Tommy Flanagan of pathological Liars Anonymous, the great Shakespearean ham Master Thespian, and the Devil himself became quite popular. His stint on Saturday Night Live put him in demand as a character actor and television guest star. His friendship with director Penny Marshall helped him get roles in some of her earlier films such as Big (1988), and his role as the fast talking baseball recruiter Ernie "Cappy" Capadino in Marshall's A League of Their Own (1992) earned him widespread acclaim. Lovitz has also appeared as a guest voice on the TV animated show The Simpsons and played lead voice in the critically-acclaimed animated show The Critic on ABC and the Fox Network.In the years following SNL and The Critic, Lovitz remained active with comedic roles in film (High School High, Little Nicky) and television (NewsRadio, Las Vegas), though it his performances in such films as Todd Solandz's acerbic black comedy Happiness and opposite Kevin Spacey in the semi-comedic Jack Abramoff biopic Casino Jack that displayed more range most filmmakers had previously failed to capitalize on. And thought the comic actor was never known to be overtly political, his scathing criticisms of U.S. President Barack Obama on the issue of taxes made headlines across the country in 2012, resulting in an unusually serious appearance on FOX News in which he passionately defended his comments.

Trivia: As the sportscaster who called nearly every L.A. Lakers game since the team moved from Minneapolis to Los Angeles in the 1960s, rapid-fire announcer Chick Hearn introduced some of the most colorful and enduring new basketball vernacular of the 20th century. Terms such as "slam dunk" and "air ball" would become so engrained in the terminology of the game that both announcers and fans worldwide would eventually adopt them. Born in Aurora, IL, in November 1916, Hearn would serve a 36-year tenure as the Lakers' only play-by-play announcer, with an amazing unbroken streak covering 3,380 consecutive games. In addition to the honor of being inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame, Hearn would also become one of the few sportscasters to earn a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. A graduate of Bradley University, Hearn earned his famous moniker after being handed a box of sneakers with a chicken inside in his early years as a basketball player. After beginning as an announcer at Bradley, Hearn did play-by-play for the Peoria Caterpillars before moving to Los Angeles to work as a football and basketball announcer for the University of Southern California and hosting a popular sports radio program. Hearn was subsequently recruited by the newly relocated Lakers during the 1961 playoffs. Married to his high school sweetheart Marge, the couple parented a daughter who died as a result of anorexia and a son who would die tragically of drug addiction. Hearn would get his start in television as play-by-play announcer of Phillies Jackpot Bowling before making appearances in such popular television series as Gilligan's Island and The Simpsons, and such films as The Love Bug (1968), Fletch (1985), White Men Can't Jump (1992), and Love and Basketball (2000), usually appearing as himself. Three months after having open-heart surgery in December 2001, Hearn broke his hip only to return courtside and finish out the team's championship run. A second fall in early August 2002 however, found Hearn sustaining major head injuries and eventually succumbing shortly thereafter. Hearn was 85.
