After a multitude of cast exits in the One Chicago universe, Eamonn Walker is returning in the role of Wallace Boden — but for how long?
Walker, 62, is coming back in the April 16 episode of the hit NBC series. According to the log line, Boden is “tasked by Commissioner Grissom (Gary Cole) to run a post-incident analysis following a house fire that collapsed with a firefighter inside.”
Showrunner Andrea Newman has confirmed the appearance, which marks the first time Walker returned nearly a year after his exit.
“[We are] so excited to have our beloved Chief Boden back, and the episode, titled Post-Mortem, is a thrill ride unlike any we’ve done before,” Newman teased on Wednesday, March 5, in a press release. “Told with flashbacks and unique POVs, Chief Boden leads our team on a search to discover the how, who, and why of a fierce firefight that ended in disaster.”
One Chicago’s Most Heartbreaking Exits
Walker played Boden for 12 seasons as a series regular before exiting the show. In May 2024, Deadline reported that it was Walker’s decision to officially step back after a brief absence.
“Eamonn was the first actor cast on Chicago Fire, and we knew once he said yes, that we were off and running,” producer Dick Wolf shared in a statement at the time. “His character Chief Wallace Boden was the undisputed leader of Firehouse 51 and, offscreen, Eamonn has filled the same role with our ensemble cast.”
Prior to his upcoming return, Boden’s last appeared in a May 2024 episode where it was revealed that his character was promoted to Chief to Deputy Commissioner of the city’s fire department. Boden appointed Christopher Herrmann (David Eigenberg) as his replacement before Dermot Mulroney was introduced as the new chief for the fire department.
“Eamonn is the most big-hearted, passionate, hard-working and dedicated actor (and human) I know, and he is like a father to every cast member and crew member of this team,” showrunner Newman told Deadline. “He is loved like no other. Any change in his position on Fire is going to be like an earthquake coming through. The vibe on set for the finale was just, hold onto Eamonn as tight as you can. Every minute with him is a gift.”
One Chicago Stars Who Left the Franchise: Where Are They Now?
The One Chicago franchise has been making headlines as several cast members across all three shows announced exits. Despite the large amount of cast changes, NBC’s president of program planning Jeff Bader isn’t concerned about the future of the franchise.
“Cast comes in, cast goes out,” Bader told TVLine in an interview published in July 2024.“It’s interesting. Because every year there are cast changes, and every year someone asks the same question” about what’s going on within the One Chicago universe. “But [those shows] just keep going on.”
Bader noted that each of the Chicago shows has continued to find success, adding, “We’re thrilled with how the Chicagos do on Wednesday. We have no plans on changing anything on that night.”
Chicago Fire airs on NBC Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET.

Amber Rose is sharing her experience attending Sean “Diddy” Combs’ parties over the years.
“I’ve been to every Puff party,” Rose, 41, said on the Wednesday, March 5, episode of the “Club Shay Shay” podcast. “I’ve been to every White Party since 2009. I’ve been to every party.”
After vowing with host Sharon Sharpe to be “very transparent” in her interview, Rose said she was unaware of the alleged “freak offs” that allegedly occurred at some of Diddy’s parties.
“If these freak offs are happening, it’s on a completely different day than the actual Puff parties,” Rose claimed. “It’s not that day because every time I was there, Puff was there the whole time. He’s got the Ciroc. He’s on the DJ booth. He’s the host of the party. I will say that.”
What Celebs Really Knew About Diddy's Parties and 'What Happened at 5am'
In September 2024, Diddy, 55, was indicted on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. A 14-page indictment detailed a barrage of accusations against the rapper — all of which he denies.
According to the indictment, Diddy would orchestrate what were called “freak offs” that were described as “elaborate and produced sex performances.” The music mogul and his business associates would allegedly “lure female victims” into his inner circle “often under the pretense of a romantic relationship.”
In her latest interview, Rose said she’s had conversations with “one of my best friends” Ray J and asked him about the alleged “freak offs.”
“I said, ‘Ray, did they invite you to a freak off? Because they never invited me and I’ve been at these parties. Why didn’t I get the invite?’ Maybe they know I don’t get down like that,” Rose recalled. “But you would think maybe an assistant would come up and be like, ‘Hey, you like girls?’ Never! No one ever asked me that or Ray J either. Me and Ray J were talking about it, and I’ve been to the party, the afterparty, after-afterparty. I’ve never seen none of that stuff. But that’s not to say it does not happen or invalidate people.”
Diddy is currently behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, and is awaiting trial on charges including sex trafficking, racketeering, conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has denied all allegations against him and awaits a trial set for May 5.
When asked about her relationship with Diddy, Rose said they didn’t talk on the phone or hang out. Instead, “the extent of our relationship” was getting invited to his parties.
Rose added that it’s hard for her to know what’s true and what’s false when it comes to Diddy’s legal battle.
“It really depends on the evidence because they did say that there were drugs in the baby oil. That’s allegedly,” she said. “I don’t know because the internet is fake. You just don’t know, but if that is in fact true, then that is a problem.”
What Celebs Have Said About Diddy's Infamous Parties Over the Years
According to the indictment, law enforcement seized various “freak off” supplies, including narcotics and more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant.
“Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is a music icon, self-made entrepreneur, loving family man and proven philanthropist who has spent the last 30 years building an empire, adoring his children and working to uplift the Black community” Diddy’s attorney Marc Agnifilo previously said in a statement to Us Weekly. “He is an imperfect person, but he is not a criminal. … Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts. These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court.”

Kim Kardashian and Damon Thomas’ whirlwind romance came to an end three years after they exchanged vows.
Kardashian and Thomas tied the knot in 2000 when she was 19 years old. “I used to be so dependent on the guys I was in a relationship with,” she told Harper’s Bazaar in 2011 of her first wedding. “I don’t know why, because I wasn’t raised that way. If I looked at myself at 19, I would shake myself and be like, ‘Wake up; you are way too smart for this.’”
She continued, “We went to Vegas, he said, ‘Let’s get married!’ and I said, ‘OK.’”
The pair, who have a 10-year age-gap, were married for three years before calling it quits in 2003. The Kardashians star moved on with Kris Humphries, with whom she was infamously married to for 72 days in 2011. The twosome officially split in April 2023 following a messy court battle.
The next year, Kardashian began dating longtime friend Kanye West. The pair said “I do” in 2014, one year after they welcomed daughter North. Kardashian and West are also parents to sons Saint and Psalm and daughter Chicago, born in 2015, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Us Weekly confirmed in 2021 that Kardashian filed for divorce after six years of marriage.
Scroll down to see Kardashian and Thomas’ complete relationship timeline:
Kardashian and Thomas tied the knot.
The pair split after three years of marriage.
Years later, Kardashian claimed that she was on ecstasy when they eloped. “I got married on ecstasy. … The first time,” Kardashian said on a 2018 episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. “I did ecstasy once and I got married. I did it again, I made a sex tape. Like, everything bad would happen [when I was on drugs].”
Khloe Kardashian's 'Life Savings' Helped Kim Kardashian Amid Damon Divorce
Thomas, for his part, claimed to not “remember that at all” about Kardashian being on ecstasy during their wedding. “I think it’s unfair to make those kind of blanket statements because we have kids now, you know? I have children,” he said during an interview with VladTV in 2022. “My kid goes to the same school her kid goes to. So imagine him when he has to deal with that at school.”
Thomas explained he was upset that his ex-wife wanted to blame their marriage on her alleged intoxication and impaired judgement. “Because it happened in the past, you can try to sweep it under the rug, but you don’t stay married to somebody or be with somebody for four to five years and it’s just based off you getting high off of ecstasy, you know what I mean?” he said. “That doesn’t make any sense at all.”
He added, “I’ve been very responsible in not talking about what that marriage was or what it meant to me.”
Kim Kardashian's Dating History Through the Years
Kardashian made a rare comment about her relationship with Thomas, and subsequent split, during a 2025 episode of The Kardashians.
“When Khloé [Kardashian] was maybe 4 or 5 years old, she got this piggy bank in the shape of a Coca-Cola bottle. We would put so much money in it,” she recalled. “When I was getting my first divorce, I moved out and had no money. I was like 21 and she gave me her Coke bottle.”
Kim, who relocated to a new place, added, “We were up all night counting it and it was $6,000, and it was enough for me to get a downpayment on my apartment. She gave me her life savings at age 21.”
In a separate confessional, Khloé, who is four years younger than Kim, explained her decision to give her sister the money. “She was crying in my room and I was just like, ‘I have this so let’s take what is in here and go to the bank to cash it. Let’s use this money for your divorce,’” she shared. “I gave her all that I got and hopefully helped her.”

Culinary enthusiasts are well-aware that quality kitchen items are crucial for success. However, your appliances and tools don’t need to cost you an arm and a leg. Of course, you can rack up a pretty penny from high-end retailers. But we’ve figured out how to put a chef-quality kitchen together on a budget from Amazon, Walmart and more. Check out our favorite items, below.
Excluding large, essential appliances like refrigerators, most appliances are made equally, regardless of the brand. For example, a KitchenAid mixer will pretty much execute the same job as a less expensive house brand alternative. Likewise, a toaster will crisp your bread to perfection, whether it’s Smeg or Walmart’s Mainstays brand. So choose your small appliances wisely, do your research and depending on what it is, consider getting the store-brand option.
Amazon Basics Digital Kitchen Scale, Amazon, $12
Even if you aren’t weighing your macros for weight loss, owning a kitchen scale is crucial to follow recipes that list measurements in the metric system. It also helps portion ingredients properly, and can even help reduce cleanup. All scales will pretty much get you the same results, so opt for the Amazon Basics’ version, which costs less than $20, over a more expensive brand.
Pioneer Woman Standing Mixer, Walmart, $129
KitchenAid’s standing mixers are cute, but sometimes they can cost you up to $500. So opt for the Pioneer Woman’s Standing Mixer, which is significantly cheaper but still delivers 600 watts of mixing power. It still has a nice aesthetic but it doesn’t cost hundreds of dollars. And unless you’re starting an at-home bakery, the brand likely won’t make a difference in performance and how long it lasts.
Mainstays 6-Quart Slow Cooker, Walmart, $20
Generally, the qualities we look for in a slow cooker are: it’s easy to clean, it has more than one cooking setting, and it has a decent rating — and Mainstay’s 6-Quart Slow Cooker from Walmart is all of the above (4.7 stars!). When compared to a high end one from Williams-Sonoma, which can cost a few hundred, we’re content with opting for this $20 option.
Mainstays Four Slice Toaster Oven, Walmart, $20
We know that Smeg toasters are all the rage, but Mainstays’ $20 toaster from Walmart will truly get the same job done. It may not have the retro look, but with three settings and room for four pieces of bread, you’re going to be able to make the same quality toast — it’s just toast.
Mainstays High Speed Corded Hand Mixer, Walmart, $13
Hand mixers are essential items for anyone baking bread, cookies or even perfectly scrambled eggs. But something like this doesn’t require anything fancy. We promise Walmart’s house brand will do, and it will only cost $13.
If you’re truly a home cook, you’re most likely using your pots and pans every single day. This and kitchen knives are worth saving up for, because it’s essential to purchase a reliable set that will be able to withstand loads of washes, without corroding or rusting. Below we’ve selected a few options that will seem like a large investment short-term, but will ultimately save you quite a bit in the long run.
HexClad Nonstick Frying Pan, Amazon, $179
Even though it may seem like a large price to pay for a pan, HexClad’s frying pan is non-stick, so as long as you treat it right, it’s going to remain that way for years to come. It’s both dishwasher- and oven-safe, so it can withstand all kinds of conditions. And it’s scratch resistant, so if your S.O. uses the wrong spatula a few times, it isn’t the end of the world, and it has a lifetime warranty, anyway.
Cuisinart eight-inch Stainless Steel Pan, Amazon, $15
If you don’t want to pay for nonstick and are happy using olive oil or butter in your cooking, you don’t have to spend a lot for quality pots and pans. Cuisinart’s eight-inch stainless steel pan from Amazon is currently 25% off, bringing the price down to just $15. Its aluminum base makes it heat up quickly and evenly, preventing hot spots. And while the stainless steel look is super sleek, it doesn’t change color based on the ingredients you cook it with — we love that.
KitchenAid 1o-Piece Stainless Steel Cookware Set, Amazon, $170
Invest in your morning eggs with KitchenAid’s 10-piece stainless steel cookware set. Each piece is super durable with a stainless and aluminum sandwich base, heats up quickly and evenly, and should work great on all stovetops—it’s induction cooktop compatible. And they’re dishwasher safe so you don’t need to worry about ruining them by accident but if something ever goes wrong, KitchenAid has a limited lifetime warranty on the set.
Best Choice Products 7.5 QT Cast Iron Dutch Oven Amazon, $70
Whether you’re baking bread or a hearty soup, Best Choice Product’s $70 Dutch Oven is bound to come in handy for a variety of situations. The thick cast iron is highly durable, while the enamel interior makes for easy upkeep. You can put it on the grill, in the oven, or on the stove — regardless, it’s going to last you a lifetime. Here’s a little secret: You can pay more for fancy cast iron, but it all performs the same.
Even though most people think of plastic as indestructible, its a little different in the world of cutting boards. Over time, plastic cutting boards degrade from abrasions from your knives. This leads to microplastics infiltrating our food, and eventually, it requires replacement. But wood cutting boards last a long time and are naturally antimicrobial, too. So if you’re truly looking for a safe, quality kitchen, you can definitely find wood cutting boards that won’t cost too much.
Hiware Bamboo Cutting Board Three-Piece Set, Amazon, $16
Hiware’s cutting boards are made from 100% organic bamboo. Bamboo is extremely hard but knife-friendly and hand-crafted, with a “juice groove” to ensure you don’t spill while slicing a hearty tomato or a juicy steak. We love how hard and durable (and sustainable) bamboo cutting boards are, but make sure you don’t soak them in water, because all bamboo cutting boards are made from many laminated (glued) strips.
BoosBlock Reversible Cutting Board, Wayfair, $95
If you want a thicker, butcher-block style, use a maple cutting board for a stable, lifetime work surface. It’s sturdy, with a guarantee to last several years. It’s available in more than one size and has a hand grip, which makes it a little easier to lift (especially if you’re transporting a significant amount of chopped veggies!).
Mainstays Bamboo Cutting Board, Walmart, $11
Walmart’s house brand Mainstays to the rescue! Mainstays’ bamboo cutting board is highly durable and not only provides a smooth cutting experience — it’s also easy to clean, and has antibacterial properties. This one also has a juice groove, keeping your countertop clean, and its relatively large size gives you enough space to prepare anything you want.
Freshware Bamboo Cutting Boards, Amazon, $12 for a set of three
This three-for-$12 deal on cutting boards is truly everything we could ask for. Each board comes with a handle for convenience, they’re knife-friendly, and each one is a different size. They’re on sale from $20 as a limited time deal so it’s definitely worth getting yours ASAP. Lots of different sizes are available, too—you can get a huge, 24-inch one (great for making bread) for under $40.
Similar to pots and pans, good quality knives and kitchen tools are essential for a next-level kitchen. But, you can totally find them on sale. Below, we’ve listed a few sale items to help you prep your food to the best of your ability.
Caphalon Premier 15-Piece Knife Set, Wayfair, $200 (from $240)
Considering Caphalon’s quality, this 17% sale is a big deal. Each set comes with a full-tang, high-carbon stainless steel chef knife, shears, Santoku knife, eight steak knives, two kitchen utility knives, and a pairing knife. The block also built-in “SharpIN” sharpeners that sharpen every time you use them to ensure your knives are doing the most whenever you use them.
KitchenAid All Purpose Kitchen Shears, Amazon, $9 (from $12)
If you don’t need an entire set of new knives but could still use some kitchen scissors, you know KitchenAid’s kitchen shears are high quality — and right now, it’s 25% off. It comes with a sheath, in many different colors, and it’s dishwasher safe, so it’s bound to last a while, too.
KitchenAid Can and Bottle Opener, Amazon, $12 (from $15)
There’s nothing worse than a can opener dying when you need to open something— but KitchenAid’s Can and Bottle Opener is equipped with a durable cutting wheel that slices smoothly and effortlessly. The knob is easy to turn and the handles are soft for added comfort. It includes a bottle opener, comes in 14 colors and right now, it’s on sale for $12 and up, depending on color.
Zwilling Razor-Sharp Knife Sharpener, Wayfair, $35
Keep your knives in peak condition with this German-engineered pull-through knife sharpener. Sharp knives are essential not only for ease, but also for safety. Zwilling’s Razor-Sharp Knife Sharpener features two slots for Japanese knives,two for Western knives, and a fifth that can sharpen scissors. Right now, it’s on sale for 20% off, so get it while you can.
If your food storage solutions are dishwasher safe, they’ll last longer, and glass containers can last literally thousands of years. That’s why we’ve included several options for both ingredients and leftovers that will endure the heat from your dishwasher, and will never break down and contaminate your food (ahem, plastic!).
Pyrex Food Storage Containers, Amazon, $38 for a set of nine
Keep your leftovers fresh, sans the microplastics, with Pyrex’s glass food storage containers. Each pack comes with nine containers, each in different sizes and with BPA-free plastic lids. They’re also dishwasher- and microwave-safe, so they’re bound to last a while. Pyrex offers many different sets in beautiful colors to meet your storage needs (and shelf and fridge capacity).
Libbey Stackable Glass Jars, Wayfair, $35 for a set of four
Storing your pantry ingredients properly is crucial to ensure each item stays fresh, and safe from pests. Libbey’s stacking jars from Wayfair come in a pack of four, and they’re both freezer- and oven-safe. And since they’re made from glass, they’re both free of BPAs and won’t leave behind nasty microplastic residue.
Mainstays 32-ounce Glass Jars, Walmart, $9 for a set of four
Jars are a basic necessity for any kitchen, whether you’re canning homemade jelly or simply making an airtight storage solution for brown sugar. Mainstays’ 32-ounce glass jars are both dishwasher safe and better-for-you (and the planet) than plastic. And they come in a pack of four, so it’s a pretty nice deal.
Stasher Silicone Reusable Bags, Amazon, $42 for four
While the zero-waste community has known about Stasher bags for a minute now, they’re becoming mainstay staples in kitchens nationwide. Reminiscent of a Ziploc, they’re made from silicone, and can be resealed, put through the dishwasher, and even the microwave or oven. Walmart is currently selling 2 for $20, so if I were you, I’d hop on this now.
Paper towels are so 2000-and-later. Instead, wash up with a quality apartment-sized dish washer, use dish wands with durable handles, and quality sponges that you won’t need to toss after only a few uses.
Honeywell 18-Inch Dishwasher, Amazon, $400
Although a dishwasher seems like yet another large investment, it saves on water, time, and energy. Honeywell’s 18-inch dishwasher is currently 11% off on Amazon right now, so if you need a replacement for a tight space like a condo or apartment, now is a better time than ever to get a new one.
Scrub Mommy Dual-Sided Cleaning Sponge, Amazon, $14 for three
A sponge may seem like a small matter. However, you’ll save money over time by opting for a sturdy kind, as opposed to cheap flimsy ones. There’s a reason Scrub Daddy has a cult following, and the Scrub Mommy is just as good — we promise.
Lola Soap Dispensing Wand with Reusable Sponge Head, Amazon, $10
Even though the sponge heads are replaceable, Lola’s sponge wand will likely last you a very long time. It has a soap dispenser than can wash as you clean and it makes for a gentle-yet-strong scrub, working on both non-stick and non-scratch cookware.
Mainstays Reusable Kitchen Dish Cloth Towels, Walmart, $5 for three
There’s no denying that transitioning away from paper goods can be a challenge, but it will ultimately save you money in the long run. And items like Mainstays’ reusable dish cloths are worthy replacements. They’re made from sustainably materials, and absorb just like a regular paper towel. They come in a pack of three for $5, too, so you’re definitely getting a better bang for your buck, in comparison to paper towels.

LaVar Ball remains in good spirits after being forced to have his right foot amputated.
Ball, 57, who rose to fame with his Big Baller Brand and big plans for sons Lonzo, LiAngelo and LaMelo, was seen dancing to Haddaway’s “What Is Love?” in a video posted via Instagram on Wednesday, March 5.
Wearing a Big Baller Brand t-shirt while sitting at a glass table, Ball moved his hands and sang some of the words before the camera panned down to his amputation.
“Baby don’t hurt me, don’t hurt me … .my foot,” Ball said, before letting out a big laugh.
Celebrity Kids Following In Their Parents' Athletic Footsteps
Ball had his right foot amputated in February after suffering “a serious medical issue,” according to TMZ.
Since the procedure, Ball has managed to have a good sense of humor about his situation.
In a TikTok video posted on Saturday, March 1, Ball showed his still-intact left foot and joked, “Guess who grew the foot back? I did! Who else you know who has three sons in the NBA … and an ability to grow their feet back? Nobody!”
Ball shares his three sons with his wife, Tina Ball, who he married in 1997 after they met as students at Cal State Los Angeles. In February 2017, Tina suffered a stroke which left her with aphasia, a language disorder that affects a person’s ability to communicate effectively.
In a December 2017 episode of their Facebook Watch reality series, Ball in the Family, Tina’s mother, Noni, helped explain her daughter’s affliction.
“She understands all the conversations everyone has. The thing is, she can’t speak back,” Noni said. “Because some of that was destroyed during the stroke, she knows all of the words, but getting them back out, that is part of the frustration.”
As for Lavar and Tina’s sons, all three boys have helped make their father’s grandiose aspirations for them become reality.
Blake Griffin Argues There's 'Disconnect' Between NBA and Basketball Fans
Lonzo, 27, is currently a point guard with the NBA’s Chicago Bulls. Drafted with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft by the Los Angeles Lakers, Lonzo also played two seasons with the New Orleans Pelicans before being traded to the Bulls in 2021.
LiAngelo, 26, played basketball overseas — including time in the Junior Basketball Association (JBA), a league founded by his father — before making his debut in the NBA’s G League in 2021. While a career in the NBA never took off, LiAngelo has made a major name for himself on the music scene as GELO, with his viral song “Tweaker” becoming massive on TikTok and hitting No. 29 on the Billboard Hot 100.
LaMelo, 23, was selected No. 3 overall by the Charlotte Hornets in the 2020 NBA Draft. He was named Rookie of the Year in 2021 and made his first All-Star team in 2022 and is widely regarded as one of the best young players in the NBA.

“I remember losing,” Roberts, 68, told Us Weekly exclusively at the premiere of The Righteous Gemstones season 4 at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles on Wednesday, March 5. “It’s devastating because you don’t really want to win, because you don’t think your speech will ever hold up.”
Roberts was nominated in the Best Supporting Actor category following his role as Buck McGeehy in Runaway Train. Fellow nominees included Don Ameche for Cocoon, Klaus Maria Brandauer for Out of Africa, William Hickey for Prizzi’s Honor and Robert Loggia for Jagged Edge.
Before Ameche took home the win, Roberts speculated that he or Brandauer would get the award.
“Probably [Brandauer] because his movie was a bigger hit,” Roberts told Us. “I thought, ‘Maybe I’m second and maybe I’ll get lucky.’ Then, I was wrong on all accounts.”

This was Roberts’ only Oscar nomination in his 40-plus years in Hollywood. However, the actor told Us on Wednesday that he has learned some lessons along the way throughout his career.
“I’ve learned one thing,” he stated. “Work, work, work. Smile, smile, smile.”
Roberts also dished on saying goodbye to The Righteous Gemstones. The actor played Glendon “Junior” Marsh Jr. in the HBO show’s second season, which aired in 2022.
“This is my favorite job I ever had in my life,” Roberts told Us. “Because I was playing with my family, who I know very well.”
He continued, “I got the part through an audition and then had the best day with John Goodman. Had the best day every day going to work. Every day was like a vacation for me. It was so much fun.”
The Righteous Gemstones stars Danny McBride, Adam DeVine and Goodman, among others. Roberts worked closely with Goodman on set, since their characters were old friends.

Roberts was told “less than nothing” about the project before nabbing the role, he recalled in a 2022 interview with Collider.
“When I got the part, they told me nothing. They just let me go,” he added.
According to Roberts, everyone on set was “very accessible, approachable and creative,” making for a “wonderful” working environment.
“I had it made because I have a character with lots of backstory, but it’s all backstory concerning John. We have a past history,” Roberts said. “So, I just got to follow John for the pacing, and I got to play this great character.”
The Righteous Gemstones season 4 premieres on HBO Sunday, March 9, at 10 p.m. ET.
