'We're going to be talking about all kinds of things. Sports, entertainment, politics, current events, health, all that stuff,' Dawson said in a new video post.
The longtime anchor has been off the air since the end of 2024 as he continues his fight with oral cancer. He's undergone surgery and rounds of chemotherapy and radiation.
'I continue to fight the fight, I'm getting better and better,' Dawson said, adding that his energy is returning but he still has hurdles to climb.
Dawson also shared that he will get a scan this week that will show if he is cancer-free.
'I'm praying that comes back negative. Cancer gone,' he said.
He will then have to wait for his mouth to completely heal so doctors can put his teeth back in and do some 'nips and tucks' on his jaw.
Dawson, at the advice of other cancer survivors and warriors, said he is making sure to stay positive and focus on the good.
'In addition to prayer and all of that, I'm trying with all my heart to stay positive knowing that this too shall pass, and I understand that the lord brings trials and storms for two reasons. One, to correct us, and the other, to perfect us,' he said.
Wayne Dawson named to NABJ Hall of Fame
Dawson, recently named to the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) Hall of Fame, again thanked fans across Northeast Ohio for their support.
New episodes of Wayne's World will air Saturdays at 10:30 a.m. and 8:30 p.m., and Sundays at 12 p.m. and 2:30 p.m.
The FOX 8 CLE+ streaming app is only available on your TV — through Amazon Firestick, Roku or Apple TV.

Jason Segel on Harrison Ford's Reaction to Nude Scene: ‘Great Dick'
How I Met Your Mother star Jason Segel recently shared an interesting story about his Shrinking co-star Harrison Ford, in which the veteran actor praised Segel after viewing his film Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Reacting to Segel's famous naked scene in the movie, Ford jokingly imparted a compliment to the comedian regarding his genitals, as revealed by Segel himself. Here's everything you need to know about the hilarious moment between the two Hollywood stars. During his recent discussion with Seth Rogen on Variety's latest iteration of its Actors on Actors segment, Jason Segel was questioned by his Knocked Up co-star about how he was able to recruit Harrison Ford in Apple TV+'s Shrinking series. He remarked, 'We got Harrison Ford because Harrison Ford is the kind of person you can make an offer to so that for three days you can say, 'We made an offer to Harrison Ford,' and then you'll pick the real guy.' Jason Segel then noted, 'He didn't know anything about me so he asked, 'Can I see some of his work?' and they sent him—Brett Goldstein went and met with him and they had a really nice meeting—and then they sent him End of the Tour and Forgetting Sarah Marshall.' After having witnessed Segel's acting chops in the two films, Ford reached out to Bill Lawrence, the showrunner for Shrinking, to convey his thoughts about Segel. 'And apparently, Bill Lawrence got a text that said, 'I'm in, and tell the kid, great dick,'' Jason Segel disclosed. Rogen had a hilarious reaction to his long-time friend's amusing anecdote about Ford, with The Studio co-creator noting, '[That's] all you need,' accompanied by his signature belly laugh. Featuring Jason Segel and Harrison Ford in the lead, Shrinking has spawned two seasons so far, with a confirmed third season yet to receive an official release date from Apple TV+. Originally reported by Apoorv Rastogi on ComingSoon. The post Jason Segel on Harrison Ford's Reaction to Nude Scene: 'Great Dick' appeared first on Mandatory.

The Long-Awaited ‘Mass Effect' Show Has a Showrunner Now
Prime Video's upcoming Mass Effect show is progressing slowly, but surely. On Friday, Deadline revealed the live-action series gained Doug Jung as its showrunner. Jung, who most may remember as the co-writer for 2016's Star Trek Beyond, recently ended a showrunner/executive producer stint for Apple TV+'s Chief of War. He'll be working alongside writer Dan Casey, and both will EP for the series alongside franchise producer Mike Gamble. As Deadline notes, this is a 'major step forward' in the show's development, which was first teased all the way back in 2021, then had its existence reaffirmed back in 2024. To date, Prime Video's kept mum on what exactly Casey's pitch was for the Mass Effect show. Among fans, the general thinking is that it'll just adapt the initial trilogy of Commander Shepard gathering allies to fight the Reapers. (This also seemed to be the plan when a movie seemed likely back in 2007 after the first game came out.) But shows like Castlevania and Prime Video's own Fallout have taken a different approach that tells an original story inside the worlds of those series. (Fallout in particular carries itself like a Fallout 5 we're getting to watch but not play.) Others, like Tomb Raider and Dragon Age, continued (or hoped to) the stories of the games they're based on. There's certainly different routes for the Mass Effect series to take, and we'll be interested to learn Jung and Casey's approach in due time.

Sydney Sweeney Reacts to Her Used Bathwater Going Viral
Originally appeared on E! Online Sydney Sweeney is soaping up the attention. The Anyone But You star recently made waves—literally—when she announced a partnership with Dr. Squatch for a limited-edition line of bar soaps that include an unusual, key ingredient: her actual bathwater. And in the time since, the collab has made quite the splash online. 'I think it's more fun to see everyone else talk about it,' Sydney admitted to E! News at the premiere of her new film Echo Valley on June 4, adding on how the product came to be, 'I pitched it.' (For more with Sydney, tune into E! News tonight, June 5 at 11 p.m.) After all, as Sydney pointed out in her announcement post, when she first partnered with Dr. Squatch back in December—in a commercial she filmed from a bathtub—fans couldn't get enough. 'You kept asking about my bathwater after the @drsquatch ad…' she captioned her May 30 post. 'So we kept it.' The end result? A teal-colored bar of soap called Sydney's Bathwater Bliss (available June 6). More from E! Online Elon Musk's Ex Ashley St. Clair Has Jaw-Dropping Response to Donald Trump Fallout Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta's Khadiyah Lewis Dead at 44 Sean "Diddy" Combs Trial: Judge Threatens to Remove Rapper for Interacting With Jurors Otherwise, while she hasn't been splashing in the bath, Sydney's schedule has been chock-full of exciting new projects. One such endeavor has been her new Apple TV+ film Echo Valley, where the Euphoria star plays daughter to as the two battle to keep a dark secret hidden. It was a project she said gave her 'so many reasons' to say yes. 'The character, Claire, is such a multi-layered, troubled young woman,' she explained. 'And being able to explore a character that has so many dimensional relationships with their mother, it's fun.' And working opposite such a powerhouse like Julianne, which Sydney described as 'such a dream,' was an added perk. 'She is beyond kind,' the Euphoria actress gushed. 'Like one of the kindest human beings I've ever met.' Echo Valley premieres on Apple TV+ June 13.
