“I am pushing myself beyond my comfort zone,” admits high-wire walker Nik Wallenda about his latest incredible attempt, “but I know that I am up to the challenge.”

If what Wallenda considers to be within his “comfort zone” are previous feats like wire-walking across Niagara Falls in 2012 or strolling 25 stories above New York City’s Times Square last year, one might wonder just what challenge could actually give him some pause.

In this case, the daredevil is referring to an attempt at his highest and longest high-wire walk ever — a 1,800-foot-long crossing over the Masaya Volcano in Nicaragua. Wallenda is the first person to try this, and his effort will be chronicled in the two-hour ABC live event Volcano Live! With Nik Wallenda on March 4. Throughout the special, Wallenda and his family will also be featured in interviews about the planning and execution of the walk.

The extreme environment of an active volcano will add new risks to what would already be quite dangerous just with the walk itself. Masaya is part of the famed Pacific Ring of Fire, encompasses multiple craters and is one of only a few volcanoes to possess a lava lake. The lava lake returned to activity in 2015, and its most recent activity was just last year.

Volcanologists and other experts will be on-site to offer Wallenda advice, and that should give him a little comfort, even if it understandably does not put him completely at ease.

“After spending years scouting and researching volcanoes,” Wallenda says, “I fully realize why no one has ever attempted this feat: Mother Nature is extremely unpredictable. It is by far the most dangerous walk I have ever attempted, and that alone makes it very intimidating.”

With HASSIE HARRISON Of truTV’s “Tacoma FD” By Ryan A. Berenz

Texas native Hassie Harrison brought the heat as rookie firefighter Lucy McConky in Season 1 of truTV’s comedy Tacoma FD.. Lucy proved that being the firehouse’s lone female wasn’t going to keep her from pulling awesome pranks and occasionally doing firefighter stuff.

“It’s so much fun. The guys are so good to me,” Harrison says of working with her castmates. “In some ways, they treat me like a little sister, and then in other ways like I’m just another one of the buds.”

In Season 2 (Thursdays beginning March 26), the squad will fight a fire at a haunted house, get trapped in an elevator during the annual Firefighter’s Ball, and create fire-safety videos that might be too hot for TV. Guest stars this season include Joe Pantoliano, Bobby Moynihan, Jessica Lowe and Jeff Dunham. Oh, and there will be mustaches.

Harrison answered the call of our “5 Questions” alarm:

1

What’s been your strangest fan encounter?

With social media, people get such immediate access to you. I get a lot of really weird comments and a lot of really weird fan art. I did a music video for one of my friends, Hayley Kiyoko, and she’s a really big part of the LGBT community, so I get a lot of lesbian fan art. That’s very interesting and kind of odd and flattering.

2

Can you tell us about a time you were starstruck?

Dave Chappelle is who I’ve been the most starstruck by.

I have seen Chappelle’s Show so many times, and that has brought me so much joy and laughter. I just have so much respect for his mind.

3

What’s a movie that you can watch over and over again?

Coming to America and Airplane! Those are two of my favorites. I have two older sisters who exposed me to a lot of things that were really not my generation.

4

What’s your favorite sports team?

I’d say the Mavericks. When I lived in Dallas, I used to go to all the games. My thing with sports is that I’m a very passionate person and I got a little too emotionally involved, for better or worse. Like if we lost, it would ruin my day.

5

What are three things that you must always have in your fridge or pantry?

Coffee. I really like yogurt. And eggs. I’m a big breakfast enthusiast.

A Wild Winter Leads To A Mad, Mad March. By Ryan A. Berenz

BROCKMIRE One Of TV’s Most Brilliant Comedies Comes To A Close, And We Talk To The Legend Himself, Hank Azaria, On The Final Stretch. By Barb Oates

Brockmire: Credit: Maarten de Boer

Amanda Peet and Hank Azaria

“I don’t get sentimental about jobs, and even one I love as much as this,” Hank Azaria tells us when reflecting on his lead role in Brockmire coming to a close this season.

“I’m not that way. I do get sentimental about things in my life ending, but not jobs. I don’t know why, [maybe] because they’re so hard to do that they feel more like a relief when they’re done.”

A “relief” is probably the biggest understatement a modest Azaria will say of a character who is beyond polarizing. A character he brought to life from an online Funny or Die short and turned into one of the best TV comedies. Playing the uber-fast-talking, narcissistic king of one-liners Jim Brockmire is not easy. If you’ve seen an episode, you know the rapid-fire dialogue that spews from Brockmire’s mouth is nonstop; he just never shuts up.

One page of the script translates to only about a minute on TV — and that’s a lot of lines to memorize.

“I spend about three months learning it all,” Azaria

These guys can say whatever they like as long as they give the count right — Hank Azaria afterwards.

dark, gritty, sad way.” And, along the way, it became more than that, as it was a journey of this famed major league baseball announcer who suffered a career-ending public meltdown live on the air, and so many other cringeworthy moments, as the series followed him through alcoholinfused blunders, awkward social missteps and failed relationships. Never, however, did you stop rooting for him and some kind of silver lining.

In the eight-episode Season 4, we flash forward to 2030, where we get to see where baseball, society and Brockmire’s life are at. The first shocker is Brockmire’s got a new job as the commissioner of baseball. Second shocker is that his obsessive personality has now turned to his daughter (yes, he has a daughter, and oh boy is that a story!). Brockmire’s officially a doting, over-the-top helicopter dad now and — remarkably — still sober. We also meet Limón, a smart home device like Alexa, who becomes a significant friend. Jules James (Amanda Peet) is back and makes quite an epic return to the game with an infamous stunt. (Fun fact: Peet’s character was based on a documentary Brockmire writer Joel Church-Cooper watched, The Battered Bastards of Baseball, that profiled Bing Russell, an actor and minor league baseball owner.)

“She’s still trying to not leave Morristown, and still a drunk,” Peet teases of the final season. “She thinks that Brockmire is really boring sober. … I always hoped that I would come back and that Jules and Jim would resume their love affair and we would end on this note.”

Azaria, too, was pleased with the ending and comforted with the fact that he’s not really saying goodbye forever to Brockmire, knowing he can always explore the character in other outlets, like sports talk, later in life. “It’s not easy to figure out a beginning, middle and end for characters like this. So I thought it was really nicely poetic and sentimental, where he ended up.”

So fans, put the supper on the stove, because this ballgame is officially going to be over.

admits. “Partially because we don’t have much time to shoot, but also because I learn it like a play. I feel like it needs to be right there. There are certain phrases that’ll take me a week to learn. Like wait a minute, what the hell does he say?”

Exactly. We ask the same thing, between gasps, about what just spewed out of Brockmire’s mouth this time (reference the sidebar below). When we were first introduced to the show’s premise back in 2017, Azaria talked about the liberties baseball announcers have in their play calling and gave a memorable example of what was to come.

“These guys can say whatever they like as long as they give the count right afterwards,” Azaria explained. Then, dropping into Oh, how our vernacular has broadened with the wisecracking wordsmithing character … “‘Folks, I’m a little tired. I spent of Jim Brockmire. “Malodorous pile of last night at a toilet while a Thai ladyboy human failure — I’ll still keep saying snorted crank off my johnson. Misses that even when the show’s over,” Hank a breaking ball down low and away.’”

Azaria joked about his loquacious But between all the chatter is a show character. “I have a 10-year-old son; Azaria described as a love letter to baseball I’ll say that to him quite a lot.” “in its own weird, alcoholic-soaked, soporific,
