Happy Friday. On this day in 1901, Ed Begley Sr., the prequel to Ed Begley Jr., was born.

ON THURSDAY, DONALD TRUMP retweeted a meme asking people to compare the looks of Melania Trump and Heidi Cruz, and decide which candidate’s wife you’d rather have as your First Lady – or in Trump’s case, First Lady twice removed.

"IT'S NOT EASY TO TICK ME OFF. I don't get angry often," Ted Cruz told reporters. "But you mess with my wife, you mess with my kids, that'll do it every time. Donald, you are a sniveling coward and leave Heidi the hell alone."

A REPORTER QUICKLY FOLLOWED UP asking Cruz twice if he would support Trump if Trump were his party’s nominee. Cruz said that Trump won’t be the nominee because he’s going to beat the billion-dollar baby, which is Ted Cruz for “Yes, of course, I will support the man who has blackmailed and insulted my wife.”

IN THE AFTERMATH of this week’s Belgium attack, ISIS released a propaganda video celebrating the mass murderers, featuring Trump’s voice. (Like Morning Joe or CNN, ISIS knows he means ratings.)

WHICH MEANS MUSLIM-BASHING like Trump’s may put us all in danger, but at least it’s good for the bottom line of two of the least popular organizations in the world: terrorists and cable news.

GARRY SHANDLING, the legendary writer, actor and filmmaker, died on Thursday shortly after a 911 call was made from his home in Los Angeles. He was 66 years old and hilarious.

SHANDLING RECENTLY TOLD JERRY SEINFELD, "What I want at my funeral is an actual boxing referee to do a count, and at 5 just wave it off and say, 'He’s not getting up.'"

YOU SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED to be as funny as Garry Shandling and still die.
