British Open winner Scottie Scheffler takes Claret Jug on Tonight Show, to Happy Gilmore 2
Scheffler dominated the media and the golf course in Northern Ireland. His monologue about professional satisfaction, or lack thereof, and the importance of family was the big story at the British Open last week until he blew away the field for his second major of the year.
His reaction to winning the Claret Jug and sharing it with his 15-month-old son Bennett will live in his fan's memories for years to come. Scheffler said after winning at Royal Portrush he couldn't wait to get home to celebrate. But the Texas Ex stopped off in New York City for some fun before heading back to Dallas.
First, Scheffler did a quick visit on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. Scheffler got a standing ovation from the crowd as soon as the curtain opened to reveal him holding the trophy. Then Fallon and Scheffler took a selfie with the Claret Jug and the audience in the background.
Then it was off to world premier of Happy Gilmore 2 with Adam Sandler and the rest of the cast. Again, the Claret Jug joined Scheffler and his wife Meredith. Scheffler reportedly has a cameo in the sequel to the 1996 classic. Not every entertainment reporter even know who the world's No. 1 golfer was. In the original, Happy Gilmore famously won the Tour Championship. That is a tournament Scheffler has now won twice in real life.
On Monday, it was announced Scheffler would fun the renovation of the Texas Longhorns Men's Golf Team practice facility, which will be renamed "Scheff's Kitchen."
Happy Gilmore 2 premieres on Netflix Friday, July 25.

Watch: Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan search for killer in 'Thursday Murder Club'
1 of 3 | Netflix released a new preview for the series on Thursday. Photo courtesy of Netflix Aug. 7 (UPI) -- Helen Mirren hides in a graveyard in a new trailer for The Thursday Murder Club, which arrives on Netflix on Aug. 28. Mirren portrays Elizabeth, a retired spy, and member of the titular club. Mirren, former psychiatrist Ibrahim (Ben KIngsley), ex-union activist Ron (Pierce Brosnan) and former nurse Joyce (Celia Imrie) solve cold cases in their spare time, until a murder prompts them to solve "a real case." "What we need is a man, or a woman, on the inside," Ibrahim says in the trailer released Thursday. Their interest in the case seems to put the group in danger, however. Mirren receives flowers with a note telling her to "back off" in the trailer. The film is directed by Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone's Chris Columbus. Naomi Ackie, Daniel Mays, Henry Lloyd -Hughes, Tom Ellis, Jonathan Pryce, David Tennant, Paul Freeman, Geoff Bell, Richard E. Grant and Ingrid Oliver also star.

‘Wednesday' Season 2 Cast & Characters Details
Wednesday is back on Netflix for Season 2. A new year at Nevermore Academy means new students, new teachers, and new threats. Of course, for someone like Wednesday Addams, threats are what makes life worth living. She'd probably prefer to be the one making them instead of investigating and, like, dealing with them. To keep track of who's who and keep up with your favorites, here's your guide to the cast and characters in Wednesday Season 2. A lot of folks who populated the Netflix series in Season 1 are not back in Season 2 so far, including Gwendoline Christie, Riki Lindhome, and William Houston. To be fair, all three of their characters died in Season 1. For whatever reason, they leave a huge gap that Season 2 has filled with some major players. We haven't even gotten to Lady Gaga's anticipated appearance yet as of Season 2, Part 1! This is who we have so far.

Fox News host Greg Gutfeld set to appear on Jimmy Fallon's ‘Tonight Show' Thursday night
Fox News Channel host Greg Gutfeld will appear on NBC's "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" on Thursday. The "Gutfeld!" namesake will join Fallon from the iconic Studio 6B in Rockefeller Center, a stone's throw from FOX News Media's New York City headquarters in midtown Manhattan. "It's the biggest crossover since the Harlem Globetrotters visited 'The Golden Girls,'" Gutfeld joked when informing Fox News viewers last week. "It looks like I'll be on with the Jonas Brothers, which is great, I haven't seen them in a while. A lot of people don't know this, but I was one of the original members until they booted me out for being too hot," Gutfeld added. "But it should be fun, Fallon seems like a great, genuine guy who wants to make people laugh instead of putting them to bed angrier than 'The View' at a salad bar." Gutfeld said that "unlike the other guys" Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert, the NBC late-night host doesn't reside in a liberal echo chamber. "Sitting with me proves he's not afraid of upsetting his peers or afraid of my mesmerizing charm," Gutfeld said. "Remember, he was destroyed for humanizing [President] Trump by messing up his hair. The angry mob wanted a brutal take-down, but Jimmy did something different. He had fun, which is criminal to the liberal hive," he continued. Indeed, Trump agreed and let Fallon reach out and ruffle his iconic hair in 2016 — a jester that irked many on the left. "If he wants to run his fingers through my hair, I will not complain. After all, the last time he did that, the guy became president," Gutfeld said. Fox News Channel's "Gutfeld!" is the most-watched late-night program on television and regularly outdraws late-night offerings on NBC, CBS and ABC. Gutfeld is also co-host of "The Five," alongside Jesse Watters, Jessica Tarlov and Harold Ford Jr., which finished July as the most-watched news program in America. The Jonas Brothers and Good Charlotte are also scheduled to be guests on Thursday's edition of "The Tonight Show," which airs on NBC at 11:35 p.m. ET.
