Today marks 25 years since September 11th. I’m sharing my memories of that morning in Los Angeles—including the terrifying hours when my family couldn’t reach my dad, who was a pilot flying out of the New York–New Jersey area—and remembering the nearly 3,000 people whose lives were taken.

I’m also looking back at the extraordinary responsibility Reese Witherspoon carried when she hosted the first Saturday Night Live episode broadcast after the attacks.

Then, Prince Harry has confirmed his first public engagements in the United Kingdom since returning with Meghan and their children. I explain why these appearances are significant—and why they do not represent a return to duties as a working royal.

Also yappening: Nirvana will receive MTV’s Video Vanguard Award; Snoop Dogg will host the 2026 VMAs; and Obsession star Inde Navarrette will make her SNL hosting debut on Halloween with musical guest Gracie Abrams.

In Quick Yaps, Pierce Brosnan dismisses the rumored MobLand feud with Tom Hardy, and the internet diagnoses Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz’s marriage from a three-second red-carpet interaction.

Listen and follow It’s All Yappening on Apple Podcasts—and go forth and yapp responsibly.
