In a new episode of TUTV Table Read, Joseph Faraday, genius scientist and “temporary resident of the universe,” interrupts an awards ceremony when a peer is given the Greatest Scientific Achievement Award for the production of his reality TV show featuring a him and his two clones. Being passed over for this award and his subsequent humiliating outburst causes Faraday to feel inferior and mad––mad with science! He goes rogue and creates his own cult wherein he proclaims himself the “Son of the God of Science” and begins to summon the sentient black hole that is Science, but everything goes wrong. Lady Dopamine returns and joins forces with Igor to stop the madness, even though she doesn’t care the least bit about him.

Littered with pop culture references to everything from My Little Pony to NPR, “The Son of Science”  is a comedy set in space written by Temple student Sam Watson. The program stars Adam Wahlberg as Faraday, and features actors Dan McGlaughlin, Amy Frear, and Jenna Kuerzi, Joe Vallee, John Groody, and Curtis K. Case in multiple parts.

Don’t miss the premiere this Thursday, September 18 at 1 p.m. on Comcast 50/Verizon 45 or watch it online. It will re-air at 9 p.m.

The new show, The Matt Rhule Weekly on OwlSports Update, is hosted by Zach Gelb, Class of 2016, from Dix Hills, New York, and Chase Senior, Class of 2015, from West Chester, Pennsylvania.

“Zach and I have a daily sports talk radio show [on WHIP] together and have called basketball and football games alongside each other, so I’m looking forward to taking our talents to television,” Senior said. “Launching this show will give us another platform to share our insight, knowledge and thoughts, while also giving us an opportunity to gain real world experience that will prepare us for our careers after college.”

Gelb and Senior will do a quick recap of the previous game and then send it over to Edberg-Olson Hall for the entirety of the press conference. After Rhule answers the reporters’ questions, the hosts will break down the coach’s comments and preview the team’s upcoming game until 12:45 p.m. On bye weeks, the show will go on without Rhule’s news conference and will include in-studio guests to assess the current state of the football season.

TUTV will air the first in the new Provost Lecture Series designed by Provost Dr. Hai-Lung Dai. The series was inaugurated by the entrepreneur, philanthropist and community leader, H. F. “Gerry” Lenfest, whose speech, entitled “From Media Mogul to Philanthropist,” explained to students how he made a fortune in the cable business—and why he has worked so hard to give it away.

Lenfest, who was appointed to the Temple University Board of Trustees last year, has donated millions of dollars to local and national causes, including education, the arts and disadvantaged youth. He has supported scholarships for rural students and has served on the boards of the Curtis Institute of Music and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

At Temple, Lenfest’s support made possible the Joe First Media Center in the School of Media and Communication. He also provided for the renovation of Lew Klein Hall in the Performing Arts Center, where Lenfest delivered his remarks.

The Provost Lecture Series aims to connect students’ education to the real world by bringing in experts and successful alumni to campus to discuss contemporary issues.

The lecture will air Thursday, July 10 at 1 p.m and re-air at 9 p.m.
