Madam Secretary ran for six seasons from 2014 to 2019 on CBS. Leoni's Elizabeth started the series as the Secretary of State but was elected President of the United States by the show's final season. Daly's Henry was a theologian who wound up as ethical advisor to President Conrad Dalton and later became First Gentleman of the United States when Elizabeth was elected president.
Though Leoni and Daly knew each other prior to the show's start — they attended the same high school in Vermont — they began dating during in real life during the series' first season. As the show finished production in November 2019, Daly posted about his gratitude for everything (and everyone) it had brought into his life.
'HUMANS!!!,' he wrote on social media, 'What did I get from Madam Secretary? EVERYTHING!!! That's a wrap.'
Here's hoping the real-life couple's big day went more smoothly than Elizabeth and Henry's Season 5 vow renewal, which took place at an Arizona jail after she was arrested for speaking out against draconian family separation policies at the United States border. When Elizabeth refused to go free until the children separated from their parents were reunited, she and Henry (and their kids) marked their 30th anniversary with a ceremony held at her cell. They kissed through the bars. (Read a full recap.)

Sculpting Trees, and Teaching Patience and Focus
Topiary, the practice of training plants into defined shapes, might evoke fantastical scenes from 'Alice in Wonderland' or the formal gardens of Versailles. Michael P. Gibson believes its lessons extend well beyond the aesthetic. 'Topiary forces you to learn how to be patient, because once you're trimming, you have to wait for that new growth to happen,' he explained from the top of a ladder propped against a 20-foot holly tree. 'I teach people that doing topiary can reduce anxiety. It helps you to stay focused.' In other words, it's healthy for the plant and the human. To that end, Gibson focuses on educating and serving communities (he holds a certificate in therapeutic horticulture). In Columbia, S.C., a capital city of about 140,000, he's creating a sensory garden at a neighborhood park. He also spends time traveling to take on new installations and maintain existent sculptures. The prospective clients who approach him — whether they found him through his online presence, word of mouth or his 2021 appearance on the HGTV competition show 'Clipped' — tend to give him creative freedom, since they're aware of his distinctive style. It's built on what he calls 'the Gibson method,' which has five approaches: storytelling; sacred geometry, which brings balance and harmony to his sculptures; the Japanese style of pruning called niwaki, opening up a tree to reduce energy and create structure; illusion; and directional trimming. (Like brushing hair, trimming in one direction allows for a smoother look.) All five need to be present for the design to be a Gibson creation. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Colbert's Ouster Was Just Another Late-Night Death Rattle
It would appear, at first glance, that there are two intertwined strands of logic to the abrupt canceling of Stephen Colbert's late-night show by the brass at Paramount Global, the parent company of CBS. On the one hand, there's an economic reality: 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert' employs roughly 200 people, costs $100 million annually to produce and was reportedly losing $40 million a year. That's a lot for a struggling television network to absorb in an era of rapidly declining fortunes. In 2024, Paramount's broadcast and cable television business had an operating income of about $4.3 billion, down roughly 9 percent from the $4.8 billion it made the year before. The trajectory for network television has been going in only one direction, and not just at Paramount. Why else is Comcast spinning off a significant portion of its cable television networks and Warner Bros. Discovery splitting its streaming and studio from much of its television business? Then there's the juicy conspiracy theory: that Paramount is caught in a realpolitik vortex involving Donald Trump's F.C.C., which has yet to approve Paramount's $8 billion recapitalization deal. In this telling, jettisoning the man who has made Mr. Trump the brunt of his late-night jokes for years would be a small price to pay for closing what might be a much more lucrative deal. Mr. Colbert, it must be said, hasn't been shy about criticizing the network; last week, he unabashedly called Paramount's $16 million payment to the Trump presidential library 'a big fat bribe.' He might have been joking, but still. The political overtones of the Colbert ouster kicked up a notch when Mr. Trump proclaimed on social media: 'I absolutely love that Colbert got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings.' Mr. Colbert responded to that taunt on air, by telling Mr. Trump what he could do, using an expletive, to himself. The contretemps became even more political when Democratic Senators Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and Ron Wyden jumped into the fray with a pointed letter to David Ellison, the chief executive of Skydance Media, which is being merged into Paramount as part of the pending deal. They wrote that the series of events raises 'fresh questions about corruption in the Trump administration and President Trump's willingness to accept payments from entities with significant policy interests before agencies he controls.' Despite the atrocious timing of CBS's announcement, I suspect Mr. Colbert's demise had more to do with the increasingly challenging economics of traditional late-night television than it did with bending the knee, yet again, to the Trump administration. After all, why would Paramount keep Mr. Colbert on the air for another 10 months or so if he was meant to be a sacrificial lamb? (His unrenewed contract ends in May.) He'd be removed immediately if that were the case. Instead, until his show ends, he'll have free rein to bash Mr. Trump every night if he's so inclined. I'm sure he'll do just that.

Oxfordshire air ambulance medics 'spent hours' trying to save Ozzy Osbourne
Oxfordshire air ambulance medics spent two hours trying to save Ozzy Osbourne's life at his multi-million-pound country home, according to national reports. The Thames Valley air ambulance landed in a field close to Welders House, the Black Sabbath singer's Grade II listed country mansion on Tuesday morning at around 10.30am, reports MailOnline. It is believed that calls from Welders House had led call handlers to believe that Mr Osbourne's life was uncertain. A helicopter was dispatched from Thames Valley ambulance base at RAF Benson in Wallingford, Oxfordshire, about 27 miles from the mansion which is situated close to the village of Chalfont St Giles, Buckinghamshire. READ MORE: Range Rover driver, 75, killed in crash with recovery truck named According to MailOnline, crew were airborne for around 15 minutes before landing in the grounds of the mansion and were then with Mr Osbourne for around two hours, trying but failing to save his life, it's understood. This news is the first insight into the finer details of the singer's death. His death was announced by his family on Tuesday night in a statement which read: "It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love." Locals in the village of Jordans, which adjoins Mr Osbourne's home told MailOnline that they realised 'something serious' was taking place when they heard a helicopter hovering above Welders and then saw it land nearby. Locals also told MailOnline that after seeing it land, they saw it take off again and fly over Jordans at around 12.30pm. A spokesperson for Thames Valley Air Ambulance told MailOnline: 'We can confirm that our helicopter was dispatched to provide advanced critical care at an incident near Chalfont St Giles yesterday. Mr Osbourne's 125-year-old country pile is surrounded by a 350-acre estate which he and Sharon Osbourne bought in the summer of 1993 for an undisclosed sum.

Mr Iqbal met the founding members of the heavy metal band – formed in the city in 1968 – when they were presented with the freedom of Birmingham in June. He said: 'He (Osbourne) was very important and he was a proud Brummie. He loved the city. He will be much missed, I think, and he was loved by so many people in the city. 'I think he put Birmingham, and especially Aston, on the world map. He's done so much for the city and we honoured him with the freedom of the city as well, which we were grateful that he came (to) and received about six weeks ago.'
