“The Golden Bachelor” became a pop culture sensation when it premiered last fall, only to disappoint fans when it resulted in the shortest marriage in the history of “The Bachelor” franchise.

After a strange, dark turn last week, when Bill Burr hosted the post-presidential election episode of “Saturday Night Live,” the show bounced back by flexing its pop culture muscles.

The event took social media by storm, with one person commenting on X it was "a historic pop culture moment", while another said the competition "shows that the people yearn for weird town events".

Another session revolved around a documentary video, “Ark of Bones,” by the poet Harmony Holiday, that looks at the way Black culture is being co-opted by pop culture, business and government.

They've been a toy staple in households across the country and inspired the animated series "My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic," which became a pop culture phenomenon and inspired male fans known as "bronies."
