Trevor Noah’s position in a late-night circuit populated by white American & Anglo jokesters, initially considered a drawback in his line of work, became his biggest strength.

@LorraineAli explains why Noah’s “Daily Show” exit hurts all of late-night TV. latimes.com/entertainment-…
Noah’s distinct point of view came in most handy after Trump shocked many by winning the White House, in part because his background allowed him to answer a question many late-night hosts could not: How might the country prepare for a Trump presidency? latimes.com/entertainment-…
“By connecting us with the rest of the world during an incredibly fraught time in American politics, the comedian reminded his audience that we weren’t the first to experience such upheaval, and we weren’t alone,” @LorraineAli writes of Trevor Noah. latimes.com/entertainment-…
Trevor Noah’s #TheDailyShow exit follows TBS’ cancellation of #FullFrontal and the end of #DesusAndMero on Showtime. latimes.com/entertainment-…

The rumored romance comes after each of them called it quits on previous high-profile relationships. latimes.com/entertainment-…
“Late-night television and nightly political satire will miss #TheDailyShow host Trevor Noah,” writes @LorraineAli.

Jaime Jarrín will be feted by the @Dodgers tonight as a remarkable 64-year career closes after this season.

@jorgecastillo looks at Jarrin's unorthodox path to baseball radio, the remarkable moments in history he's covered, and what's next for him. latimes.com/sports/dodgers…
Jaime Jarrín has witnessed more games at Dodger Stadium than anyone else since it opened in 1962. In his 64th and final season as one of the club’s Spanish-language radio voices, he offered his favorite moments: latimes.com/sports/dodgers…
Jarrín and René Cárdenas, the first full-time MLB Spanish-language play-by-play voice, initially rebroadcast games from Vin Scully’s calls before the team (with a push from Scully) let them travel.

Jarrín credits Scully for being his career “architect.” latimes.com/sports/dodgers… Image

Jalon Daniels wasn't a five-star recruit. He wasn't a four-star recruit.

The Lawndale High QB didn't have any stars until the summer before his senior year, when he received a three-star designation.

Now he's a Heisman hopeful at

Daniels and his family knew little about the recruiting process.

“We just knew the traditional story that if you balled at whatever high school you’re at, you’d get some attention. Once we got to high school, we realized that wasn’t the case.”

Daniels was a rising junior when he started working with private quarterbacks coach Sam Fisher, who realized he'd found a hidden gem.

“He grabs [the ball] and he throws it about 70 yards, and I was like, ‘What in the world is happening right now?’”

Once upon a time (well, 1965), @UCLA chancellor Franklin Murphy promoted the construction of a $6.5-million, 44,000-seat on-campus stadium that would be nestled into the hillside west of the student athletic fields. latimes.com/sports/ucla/st…
Among other amenities, the stadium would house a regulation football field plus a 440-yard, 9-lane track, outdoor lighting, concession stands, restrooms, scoreboards, a two-level press box, team dressing and shower rooms and management offices. latimes.com/sports/ucla/st…
#UCLA students twice voted against the proposal and staged a protest outside Murphy’s office. The Daily Bruin, the campus newspaper, ran an editorial opposing the stadium and the use of student fees to fund it. latimes.com/sports/ucla/st… Image

Eddie Lopez Bautista started his modeling career on sets where he was working as a stylist. Photographers asked him if he would ever consider being part of the crew in front of the camera, instead of behind it. latimes.com/lifestyle/imag…
Since then, he’s been in campaigns for Shaka Wear, Willy Chavarria New York and Born X Raised, as well as the music video for Omar Apollo’s “Tamagotchi,” among other projects. latimes.com/lifestyle/imag…
He stepped into the opportunity mostly because he sees modeling in a similar way to styling: Having a hand in creating an image that’s authentic to him, his family and his friends. latimes.com/lifestyle/imag…
