Tom Hanks almost had a very curious co-star. 

During Entertainment Weekly’s Reunions video series with Robert Zemeckis, Tom Hanks and Robin Wright, Hanks shared that Eric Roth’s early draft of Forrest Gump “had all sorts of like angels flying up, and dreamscapes,” which included Curious George talking to Forrest throughout the film. Ultimately, though, Zemeckis said, “That monkey’s gotta go,” and nixed him from the script. You definitely have to wonder how certain scenes would’ve gone with Curious George in them. 

Despite Jury Duty making Freevee a household name, the streamer received a bummer of a verdict from its parent company this week, as Amazon announced that the free, ad-supported streaming service will be “phased out” over the next few weeks. The decision comes as no surprise after Amazon introduced ads to Prime Video earlier this year. While programs like Judy Justice and Bosch: Legacy will no longer have Freevee, they will still be available to non-Prime customers after their migration to Prime Video. 

If you find yourself having to sit through a four-minute block of mundane ads and need to be entertained, we’ve got you covered thanks to the very free (freevee?) programming on the timeline. Today’s funniest tweets include those about a nervous legume, thunder and rain and impeached presidents.
