A big win for the Packers.

Hi, I'm Mike Clemens with sports. The Packers beat the 49ers 38-10,

Green Bay running back Josh Jacobs, rushed for 106 yards on 26 carries,

scoring three touchdowns, head coach Matt Loflore.

You know, at number eight out there, you see how many tackles he,

how many people he made a mess. It was pretty impressive, I think,

on that got us going. You know, and we thought we could hit him with some of the downhill stuff.

Obviously, they're missing a key part to that defense.

Two starters, actually, and so, but I thought, you know, we did what we had to do.

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan.

You know, the first half just the run defense was real disappointing.

You know, I thought we got out of a gap, a couple of a number of times.

I thought we had way too many missed tackles.

Just then being able to control that clock in the first half was

one of the worst ones that had been a part of just for as far as a half.

The Packers improved to eight and three.

They host the Miami Dolphins this Thursday night at Lambo Field.

Elsewhere in the NFL, the Bears losing to the Vikings in Chicago,

30 to 27 in overtime.

The Bears have now lost five in a row.

College basketball.

It was constant men's team with an 81 to 75 victory over Pittsburgh

to win the Green Briar Tournament title in Orlando.

The Badgers now seven and oh with sports.

The new peacock streamer day of the jackal dropped November 14th

and has been critically acclaimed and popular with viewers.

According to Variety, the show will be picked up for a season two.

The action thriller stars Eddie Redmayne as a hired assassin

who is also being haunted by a professional killer equally as skilled.

Redmayne's credits include Les Mizz and the trial of the Chicago Seven

and he is also Oscar nominated.

The first season has ten episodes and new shows drop Thursday nights.

That's a pretty quick commitment to a season two,

but not as fast as the John Ham show, your friends and neighbors.

Apple TV has already announced a season two pickup for the show

that hasn't even premiered yet.

That's right, season one isn't available till April 11th.

Oftentimes after an election, regardless of which party won,

people say they are leaving America.

It's usually an emotional knee jerk reaction,

but Ellen DeGeneres is actually leaving.

The talk show host says she is not only headed to the UK due to the election

results a couple weeks ago, but she is also quitting show business.

No one is happier to hear this than those who work for her.

Lady Gaga's new song, Die with a Smile, is the fastest ever to reach

one billion streams on Spotify.

The song, which was a collaboration with Bruno Mars,

has also picked up two Grammy nominations.

All this on the heels of the announcement that Gaga will headline

at next year's Coachella Festival.

That ought to help her get that horrible Joker two taste out of her mouth.

Timothy Shalamay's performance in the Bob Dylan biopic,

a complete unknown, is getting Oscar buzz.

Entertainment industry insiders are saying this is the best performance

Shalamay has ever given and placing him as the Academy Award

frontrunner in the best actor category.

The Oscar chatter started after a screening on the Foxlot

in LA last week, which gave insiders a first look at Shalamay's performance.

A complete unknown hits theaters Christmas Day.

Speaking of the Oscars, Shalamay's co-star in a complete unknown

Monica Barbaro is also getting Oscar buzz in the best supporting actress category,

according to Variety.

Variety put out its list of frontrunners in the category,

which also included Ariana Grande for Wicked, Zoe Saldana for Amelia Perez,

and Isabella Razzolini for Conclave.

Looks like I got snubbed again, folks.

From our show, it's Von Tune in to Nightlight with me,
