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.

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