Josh McDermitt, star of AMC's The Walking Dead, says that the thing that keeps him UN-undead is watching and re-watching his favorite clip of the LA Dodgers' Kirk Gibson and his walk-off home run in the 1988 World Series.

Stand-up comic Sierra Katow just released her first streaming comedy special, Funt. She's also a voice actor, and it seems like she might have been inspired by her favorite season of her favorite animated show, Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Josh - Kirk Gibson's 1988 World Series game-winning home run

Sierra - Season 3 of 'Avatar: The Last Airbender'

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.

But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.

We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.

Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
