Against All Odds with Cousin Sal The Ringer Jimmy Kimmel Live’ on-air personality and host of Cousin Sal’s Winning Weekend, Sal Iacono breaks down the world of gambling across a variety of sports, including NFL, NBA, NHL, UFC, boxing, wrestling, and competitive hot dog-eating. Each week, Sal offers up odds analysis as well as his best bets, while introducing celebrities, Vegas experts, and his pack of lunatic friends, who are shameless about discussing their latest wins and losses (mostly losses). The Remnant with Jonah Goldberg The Dispatch In “The Remnant," Jonah Goldberg enlists a “Cannonball Run”-style cast of stars, has-beens, and never-weres to address the most pressing issues of the day. Is America doomed? Has liberalism failed? And will mankind ever invent something better than ‘90s-era “Simpsons?” Mixing political history, pop culture, rank punditry, and shameless book-plugging, Goldberg and guests will have the kinds of conversations we wish they featured on TV. And the nudity will (almost) always be tasteful. Brace your bingo cards.
