Getting creative
Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman reunite in the name of crafting
By Francis Babin TV MediaOnce upon a time, there was an unfair belief held by many that arts and crafts were for little kids and grandparents. It was glitter-covered macaroni art that your kid sister brought home from school or something your nana knitted while watching “Matlock” or “Murder, She Wrote.”
Times have changed, however. Nowadays, crafts are in and craftsmanship is cool, while DIY is much more than a simple acronym — it’s a lifestyle. On Tuesday, July 31, grab your paint, glue gun, hammer and saw, and let the crafting begin with the premiere of “Making It” on NBC. are big business these days. Not long ago, arti sans and builders had limited options
if they wanted to sell their wares, but this is no longer the case, thanks in large part to social media and the rise of the internet. Now anyone with a bit of extra time can easily sell their homemade cat toys, keychains, beads, quilts, frames, chairs and just about anything homespun on Facebook, Instagram, eBay or Etsy with only a few clicks. Items that were made to pass the time on a rainy day can now be found on the walls of a home halfway around the world — and for good money.
NBC is looking to capitalize on the popularity of handcrafted goods (and television reunions) with its new, sixepisode competition series, “Making It.” Three years after the end of the critically lauded “Parks and Recreation,” the always Poehler reunites with her equally funny former coman, to host the
The basic premise of the craft-off is quite simple, and it’s fun for the whole family. Every week, eight artisans from across America are pitted against one another to try to impress Poehler, Offerman and the expert judges, Simon Doonan and Dayna Isom Johnson. The contestants compete in themed challenges that are inspired by crafting and DIY trends that test their creativity, skills and outside-the-box thinking.
The talented fabricators have a chance to shine over the course of two rounds: the faster-craft round and master-craft collection round. The former is a timed challenge that will test the makers’ ability to work quickly and be creative under pressure. The latter is a special challenge in which the competitors must use their inventiveness, expertise, experience and know-how to successfully put together the winning craft.
“Making It” features contestants who are extremely proficient with paint, fabric, wood and metal. Over the course of six episodes, we will get to know and love the competitors as they share their touching and personal stories that often inspire them. Sadly, however, there can only be one Master Maker.
The competition sheds light on a world that many aren’t familiar with, and features plenty of laughs, puns
Late Laughs

In Florida, an 87-year-old man has donated 100 gallons of blood throughout his lifetime. And the weird thing is, only half of it is his.

and extraordinary creations that are guaranteed to inspire. Poehler touched on this during an interview with Entertainment Weekly, saying: “At the very most, you will fall in love with our makers, get introduced to a world you may not know anything about, and even get inspired to make something at home!”
Impressing the hosts is no easy feat, and standing out in front of the expert judges is even harder. The Creative Ambassador-at-Large of the New York City-based clothing store Barneys, Doonan serves as one of the judges for the competition. The always witty fashion commentator has penned several popular books and is no stranger to creativity competitions. He has made many appearances on the long-running “America’s Next Top Model,” VH1’s “Full Frontal Fashion” and “Iron Chef America.”
Johnson steps in beside Doonan as a fellow expert judge. Along with her judging duties, Johnson serves as an Etsy trend expert who shares the latest and greatest designs and exciting stories behind some of the most popular Etsy shops and sellers. Having worked for the wildly successful company since its early days, Doonan has developed some amazing insight into the world of crafts.
As for the well-loved hosts, the comedic duo both share a passion and love for crafts and craftsmanship. The “Parks and Rec” BFFs are looking forward to showcasing America’s most talented makers and what can be accomplished with only a few tools and a great idea.
Poehler is a self-proclaimed craft novice who is more interested in the skills involved than in the crafts themselves. She has always been fascinated with the visionaries out there who can not only imagine but execute incredible projects by hand.
Offerman, on the other hand, is a noted woodworker who builds boats professionally when he’s not in front of the camera. The comedian fabricates furniture, canoes and other wooden structures on the side, and has even released several instructional DVDs on woodworking.
The peacock network has already struck gold with its two other original, unscripted summer series, “World of Dance” and “America’s Got Talent,” and is no doubt looking to go three for three. Have a laugh, learn what vellum is, get inspired and be creative with “Making It,” premiering Tuesday, July 31, on NBC.

I read about a woman in Washington, D.C., who found a dead lizard in her bag of Trader Joe’s kale. When people heard that, they were like, “Gross! Kale?!”

Trump announced that he was going to halt the joint military exercises with South Korea and the U.S., but that came as a shock to our close allies, South Korea and the U.S. In fact, a spokesperson for South Korea said, “At this moment, the meaning and intention of President Trump’s remarks requires more clear understanding.” Which is Korean for “Whaaaa!?”
The Late Late Show With James Corden (repeat)
The workout company CrossFit is now getting into the meal delivery business. But their meal kit is getting mixed reviews because, well, it isn’t really a meal, it’s nothing but 10 pounds of raw meat. And you thought your dog chased the mailman before. It’s just giant slabs of meat all packed together. Oh, wait, that’s a CrossFit class, sorry.

When it comes to cooking during the dog days of summer, the grill reigns supreme. Be it charcoal or propane, the king of outdoor cookers gives food that tasty char that just can’t be replicated inside the kitchen. Plus, cooking outside doesn’t heat up the house!
As has become a seasonal tradition, Food Network’s “Chopped Grill Masters” returns this week on Tuesday, July 31. The five-episode special series brings together some of the country’s best masters of grilling for a no-holds-barred tournament in classic “Chopped” style, with host Ted Allen overseeing the contest, regular
“Chopped” judges that include Amanda Freitag and Geoffrey Zakarian sitting in judgment, and a number of guest judges, including barbecue legend Moe Cason.
This season delivers a regional twist, with each of the first four episodes featuring competing chefs from the same place. In the premiere episode, four of the best grill masters from Kansas City, Missouri, convene in the “Chopped” kitchen to vie for the title of the city’s top griller. Among the ingredients hidden in the appetizer basket are some double cut pork chops that may look delicious, but cooking and assembling a dish with them in only 20 minutes is no walk in the park.
After the judging, the entrée round’s basket contains a bubbly
surprise that adds a sweet note to the chefs’ dishes, and in the dessert round, the two remaining grill masters have to blend banana and pineapple flavors into a cohesive whole — all while using grills to cook the mystery baskets’ ingredients.
Later episodes feature grill masters from Tennessee, North Carolina and Texas, with the winning chef from each regional contest moving on to compete for the $50,000 prize and the ultimate bragging rights in the Tuesday,

Aug. 28, finale. In that ultimate episode, the chefs deal with a wild and smoky ingredient in the appetizer basket and transform the classic meat and potatoes dish in the entrée round before cooking with sugary and festive ingredients in the tournament’s final basket.
Summer is the season for grilling, and “Chopped” is all in with its annual Grill Masters tournament. Join host Ted Allen and the judges as the first competitors enter the “Chopped” kitchen on Tuesday, July 21, on Food Network.
