The World Baseball Classic final set viewership records, while the Tampa Bay Rays honor their stadium's history with unique jersey patches.
The Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays combined to provide an all-time World Series matchup, as evident by viewership records in the United States and Canada. There were 27.3 million viewers who tuned in to watch the winner-take-all Game 7 on Fox, making it the most-watched World Series game since 2017. The Fall Classic and MLB postseason as a whole also had their highest viewership in eight years.
The first season of The Celebrity Traitors was buoyed by the casting of gay comedian Alan Carr, who cemented his reputation as a national treasure in episode one after being selected as a Traitor. He was joined as a Traitor by queer musician Cat Burns and TV host Jonathan Ross. While initially being deemed as the least likely Traitor to succeed due to his propensity for sweating and inability to stifle laughter, Carr proved his detractors wrong by winning the show in the shocking finale.
