Q
Is this the final
season for
Nurse Jackie?
—Jessie J., Omaha, Neb.
A: Edie Falco, who already
put Carmela Soprano to
rest on The Sopranos, will
be doing the same for
Jackie Peyton when Nurse
Jackie begins its final season on Showtime tonight.
On playing the nurse with
the pill addiction, Falco,
51, says, “I have known
and loved many addicts
in my life; it has been very
interesting to be on the
other side of it. It’s
given me a lot
more compassion for the
people who
used to just
make me
angry.”
WALTER SCOTT ASKS...
REVRUN
A founding member of seminal hip-hop act RunD.M.C., Rev Run (Joseph Simmons) is also a minister who spreads the good news—and good food—on
Rev Run’s Sunday Suppers, airing Sunday nights
on Cooking Channel.
What led you to make Sunday dinner such an important part of your week? “[Our kids are] out of the house.
I felt a little lonely. I thought, ‘If I can just get them one day a
week…’ So I said, ‘Everybody come over for Sunday dinner.’”
Why televise it? “That’s my job. I’m here to inspire. First
as Run-D.M.C. and now as somebody who inspires families to be together and have a good time—to slow down
and see what’s important. I enjoy being a husband and a
dad, and I enjoy letting people watch.”
Do you do much of the cooking? “Cooking brings me
close to Justine, my wife. I will take on a project and,
if I get stuck, I can call her in for help.”
What’s your favorite meal? “Pizza is my favorite meal,
but I can’t have it often. I’m watching my calories, so I love
to get into the kitchen and pull together things that are
tasty but not full of extra sodium and calories.”
What role does music play in your life now? “RunD.M.C. has done several concerts
recently. Additionally, I do a lot
of DJ’ing. I am a resident DJ
at Borgata in Atlantic City. I
enjoy being on the
turntables with
my partner
in crime, DJ
Ruckus.”

the Most
Luke Bryan returns for
the third straight year as
co-host (with Blake
Shelton) of the Academy
of Country Music Awards
on CBS, which begins the
ramp-up to its blowout
50th annual awards show
on April 19 with a two-day
music festival in Dallas
April 17-18. Think you
know everything about
the “Crash My Party”
singer, who’s won four
ACM Awards and is
nominated for four more
this year? Here are five
little-known facts straight
from Bryan himself.
1. “I got hit by
a car while
crossing
the street in
second grade.”
One of Scott’s early gigs: TV
commercials as Ronald McDonald
show to wish happy
birthday to 100-year-old
viewers. Scott, 81, has a
long history in front of the
cameras. One of his TV
gigs in the 1960s was
dressing up as an early
prototype of Ronald
McDonald, the
“hamburger clown”
pitchman for
McDonald’s, which turns
60 this year. (Go to Parade.
com/McDonalds
for more McDonald’s
60th birthday trivia.)
2. “When I first moved
to Nashville, I waited
tables. That lasted
three days.”
3. “Guilty
pleasure: movie
popcorn.”
4. “If I wake up
in the middle
of the night, I
eat a bowl of
cereal.”
5. “I have had stitches three
times—all on my face.”

“The Night We

Ask Marilyn
By Marilyn vos Savant
Does left-handedness (or
footedness, etc.) exist in
other animals?
—Dick A., San Francisco, Calif.
Nope, and neither does
right-handedness, for that
matter. No strong parallel
to inborn human
“handedness” exists in
other animals. A few weak
parallels may be found,
such as parrots that often
use their left foot to grab a
piece of food or toads that
use a right foot to wipe off
their faces. Each individual
animal, such as your dog
or cat, may develop a
preference for one paw
over another for a
particular task, but neither
chosen side strongly
dominates the way the one
inborn side does in
humans. The developed
preferences are divided
roughly evenly between
the right and left sides.

Love
Why We
UNDERDOGS
The star of Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 knows
all about characters who thrive when the
odds are against them. He’s been there.
By Kevin James
BLART BY SONY PICTURES/NEWSCOM; JAMES BY KEITH BEATY/TORONTO STAR/GETTY IMAGES
I
’ve always loved the underdog. I think most people do.
In my case, it’s because I was
one. When I was born, I
weighed less than eight
pounds! I couldn’t walk. I couldn’t
talk. I couldn’t chew solid foods
and I’d go to the bathroom right
in my pants. I cried a lot, too. But
I overcame the odds and conquered all those things.
When I was a kid, my
favorite movie was Rocky. I
can still remember throwing
punches in my seat, trying to
will Rocky into beating the
invincible Apollo Creed.
Ever since then, I’ve always
rooted for the underdog, both
in movies and in life. There’s
something truly American
about being born with nothing
and making it on your own,
with only your brains, your
talent or whatever it is that
makes you special. And when
you come up against bigger,
stronger, faster people, to not
give up because beating them at
their own game, when all logic
says you have no chance, is the
sweetest victory of all.
We love underdogs because
we’ve all been there in one
way or another—when
every bit of reason and sense
would tell you that you have
absolutely no shot, but you
toss reason aside and jump
in anyway. And that’s what
motivates Paul Blart, mall cop,
to put on his uniform every
day—the hope that he can
defy the odds.
Sure, it’s easy to poke fun at
a guy like Blart. He cares about
his job and keeping shoppers
safe, maybe too much. But who
would ever think that this outof-shape guy, on the bottom
rung of the security-business
ladder, would end up being the
thin blue line between safety
and chaos?
That’s the kind of guy I
wanna see come through in
the clutch. When nobody
thinks Paul Blart can save
the day, he’s just getting
warmed up. He’s gonna be
the hero. He’s like Batman—
no, wait, he’s better than
Kevin James plays security guard Paul Blart in
the new movie sequel to Paul Blart: Mall Cop.
Batman. You heard me. No
offense, but anybody can be
a hero with 180 pounds of
sculpted muscle and all of
the gadgets a billion bucks
can buy. All Blart has to
work with is some non-lethal
pepper spray and a wicked
pair of love handles.
When I was growing up, my
dad sold insurance and my
mom took care of me and my
brother and sister. I wasn’t the
greatest student. I dropped out
of college and got a job
driving a forklift, which I
thought I was pretty good at;
but I got fired, so apparently
not. After that, believe it or
not, I worked as a personal
trainer at a gym. I’m not
saying I was any good; I would
lose count of the reps my
client was doing, and then I’d
be like, “Uh, that’s good
enough—let’s go grab a
chocolate energy bar.” When I started doing
standup, I knew it wasn’t
going to be easy. I didn’t
have industry connections. I
was on Long Island—not in
New York City—so even if
I did great with an audience,
who knew if anybody would
see it? One time, an agent
asked me what my goal was,
and I said to have my own
sitcom. He laughed and said
that would never happen:
“You just don’t have the look.
The sooner you embrace that,
the better.” Well, I’m glad I
didn’t embrace that, or The
King of Queens would’ve never
happened. And I would never
have been in movies. So here’s to all the underdogs,
the Paul Blarts, the Mets, the
Jets, the Knicks… all of you.
Keep fighting. Ignore those
who tell you that you can’t do
something. Find that inner
strength—or just relax and go
have a chocolate energy bar.
Because anything is possible.
I know that firsthand. Starring as deliveryman Doug Heffernan on the hit CBS sitcom The
King of Queens and in a number of supporting and starring movie
roles, standup comedian-turned-actor KEVIN JAMES has a natural
feel for chumps who turn into champs. On April 17, he’ll be back on
the big screen as the Segway-riding security guard spurred to
heights of heroism in the new comedy Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2.

KIM GIECK, 55

Think you can guess your next-door neighbor’s annual income? Even if you’re
close, chances are you’ll never really know. The truth is, according to a Parade
survey, most Americans would rather divulge their age or even their weight rather
than share what they earn. That’s why our annual peek into dozens of paychecks—
from the competitve eater to the toll collector, the reality TV star to the governor—is
a tradition that is equal parts informative and fun. This year we also look at pay
rates for some of the newest jobs out there (Uber driver, marijuana packager and
drone technician, to name a few) and some of the oldest (visit Parade.com/Earn
for a story on trades, including plumbers and electricians). Both job categories are
expected to grow in 2015.

Gieck says simply listening
to students is most
important. “Sometimes they

their resumes. Consider budtender, as workers at marijuana dispensaries are often called. With pot now legal for

Budtenders make about $20 to $30 an hour, according to a

UBER DRIVER The on-demand ride service, whose drivers
supply their own cars, is giving taxi companies a run for
their money in cities around the world. A study released in
2015, and based on Uber’s own data, put driver pay range
at about $16 to $30 an hour, not accounting for expenses
like car payments, insurance and gasoline.
DRONE TECHNICIAN Drones do many
jobs today, from filming Hollywood
movies to checking the soybean crops
in Iowa. Keeping them flying is the job of drone
technicians, whose salaries range from about $60,000 to
$68,000 a year, according to the Association for Unmanned
Vehicle Systems International.
CYBERSECURITY ANALYST With hacker attacks in the
news almost daily, big retailers and other companies are
looking for better ways to protect their sensitive data. Enter
the cybersecurity specialist, whose job is to find and fix any
weak spots in their computer networks. Salary range is about
$82,000 to $121,000 a year, according to Foote Partners.
HEALTHCARE NAVIGATOR In “the most important
healthcare job you’ve never heard of,” as one report puts
it, navigators guide consumers through the maze of insurance coverage and medical treatment. But navigators also
are employed by large nonprofits, hospitals and even individual patients. They can earn $34,000 to $48,000 a year.

Product Hailed by Doctors as a Solution for
Back Pain announced it is now covered by Medicare!
Back pain affects 80% of
Americans. It robs you of your
happiness, where getting out of
bed is a painful reminder of your
bad back. While pills provide
temporary relief, the condition can
reoccur. Treatments are expensive
or have serious health risks.
“That’s why most people end up
“living” with their bad back,” says
Dr. Michael Ho.
Dr. Michael Ho is a doctor with 20
years of expertise in treating back
pain, including Degenerative Disc,
Sciatic Nerve Pain, Scoliosis, Spinal
Stenosis and Herniated / Bulging
discs. He treats the cause of the
pain for long term relief, earning
him international recognition for
his patient care and expertise.
Dr. Ho developed a back
supporting, decompression belt
that can be used at home,
allowing you to help get relief,
while saving time and money.
Dr. Ho’s new Decompression
Back Belt is endorsed by
doctors and customers with
back pain.
"I’ve used many devices, but
nothing is as effective as the
Decompression Belt. People
can’t afford the time or money Dr. Michael Ho treats patient with herniated disc,
