Deepfakes challenge our assumptions about what is real and what is not. A combination of the phrases "deep learning" and "fake," deepfakes are superrealistic digitally altered images that use machine learning algorithms to swap one person's face or voice for another's. Deepfakes can be photos, videos or audio recordings of people saying and doing things that never actually happened.

The Strictly Come Dancing contestants are being announced for 2020, and we couldn't be more excited to welcome the dancing show back this month.

Olympic boxer Nicola Adams was confirmed as the sixth contestant taking part in the 2020 show and will be paired in Strictly's first ever all-female pairing.

On joining the show, the professional boxer explained: "I'm really excited to be joining this year's incredible line-up for Strictly Come Dancing. I'm a huge fan of the show and am thrilled to be part of something that holds such a special place in so many people's hearts. People might know me from work in the ring, but I'll be every bit as passionate and dedicated on the dance-floor too.

Appearing on BBC Breakfast, the double gold medal winner explained how the same-sex partnership came about: "I asked the show about it, they wanted to know if I wanted to be on the show and I said 'Yeah I'll do it, but I want to dance with another female.'"

Richard Zoglin is the author of " Comedy at the Edge: How Stand-up in the 1970s Changed America ." Bad news often comes in threes, even in the world of comedy. The death on Feb. 20 of Rick Newman, the founder of New York City's landmark comedy club Catch a Rising Star, at age 81, came only a day after the passing of the club's longtime emcee (and Newman's close friend), Richard Belzer, at 78.

I got to know all three while researching my book on a seminal era in stand-up comedy that has now definitively, inexorably passed into history. Catch a Rising Star and the Improv were the first clubs to feature comedians almost exclusively, places where young comics could work on their routines, try out new material — and maybe get seen by the agents and bookers who could get them jobs.
