Guaranteed the most comfortable pillow you'll ever own!TM

How Well Did You Sleep Last Night?

Did you toss and turn all night? Did you wake up with a sore neck, head ache, or was your arm asleep? Do you feel like you need a nap even though you slept for eight hours? Just like you, I would wake up in the morning with all of those problems and I couldn't figure out why. Like many people who have trouble getting a good night's sleep, my lack of sleep was a ecting the quality of my life. I wanted to do something about my sleep problems, but nothing that I tried worked.

The Pillow Was the Problem

I bought every pillow on the market that promised to give me a better night's sleep. After trying them all, with no success, I finally decided to invent one myself. I began asking everyone I knew what qualities they'd like to see in their "perfect pillow." Their responses included: "I'd like a pillow that never goes flat", "I'd like my pillow to stay cool" and "I'd like a pillow that adjusts to me regardless of my sleep position." After hearing everyone had the same problems that I did, I spent the next two years of my life inventing MyPillow..

Inventor & CEO of MyPillow?

In the early days, Mike and his family spent countless hours hand-making each MyPillow. This hard work and dedication to "doing it right" helped MyPillow become a classic American success story.

MyPillow? to the Rescue

Flash forward eleven years and MyPillow, Mike Lindell's revolutionary pillow design, has helped 12 million people improve the quality of their sleep. MyPillow has received thousands of testimonials from customers about how MyPillow has changed their lives.

"Until I was diagnosed with various sleep issues, I had no idea why my sleep was so interrupted throughout the night. I watch Imus each morning and heard endless testimonials about MyPillow. I took his advice and ordered a MyPillow. Now I wake up rested and ready to conquer the day ahead. Thank you for helping me remember what it's like to sleep like a baby!" - Jacqueline H.

Lindell has been featured on numerous talk shows, including Fox Business News and Imus in the Morning. Lindell and MyPillow have also appeared in feature stories in major magazines and newspapers across the country. MyPillow has received the coveted "Q Star Award" for Product Concept of the Year from QVC, and has been selected as the O cial Pillow of the National Sleep Foundation.

Editor's Note

Completely Moving

Earlier this year 92-year-old Gloria Vanderbilt gracefully took the stage at an HBO press conference, where she enchanted us with her frank candor and ageless beauty. It was clear that the heiress turned fashion designer turned

artist adored her equally famous son -- CNN anchor Anderson Cooper -- as she greeted him via satellite with an endearing, "Hi, sweetheart." Cooper is the executive producer behind the touching documentary Nothing Left Unsaid: Gloria Vanderbilt & Anderson Cooper, which makes its debut this month (see page 14). It's one of a handful of truly moving -- and real life -- stories on TV this month.

Also deeply enriching is Sherpa, a story about the 2014 Everest avalanche that claimed the lives of 16 Sherpa guides, and the aftermath of the tragedy that brought to light their unfair compensation and the horrendous risks they faced. Lastly, the incredible Morgan Freeman sat down with Lori Acken to talk about God -- or, as he explains, "the greatest mystery and the most important idea in the world ... who is God? Where is God and why is he/she/it worshipped so differently?" There's a lot to explore, learn and watch in this issue, so go ahead and get started. My wish for you is that something on TV this month moves you. Let me know. Happy Viewing!

How are shows selected to be shown on various channels? I love watching the older shows like The Rookies, Hart to Hart and Charlie's Angels. I used to watch all of the shows growing up. I also love the show The District with Craig T. Nelson and Chicago Hope with Adam Arkin. What is the chance that these shows may be shown again? The older shows are fun to watch, especially because there are no cellphones or computers. I also like all the old sitcoms like Hazel, The Munsters and I Love Lucy. -- Sue

RETRACTION: Of Kings And Prophets

ABC contacted us on behalf of showrunner Chris Brancato, saying: "He misspoke when he said the Palestinians were Israel's enemies in Of Kings and Prophets. The Philistines were Israel's ancient enemy (not the Palestinians) and while some scholars favor the assumption that the Philistines were from Greece or Asia Minor, their definitive heritage is lost to time. Mr. Brancato regrets the error."

Andrew Dice Clay Is Back On A Roll. By Ryan A. Berenz

Andrew Dice Clay, "The Undisputed Bad Boy of Comedy" of the late '80s and early '90s, has had a few humbling years. But Dice's arrow rose again with a role in the final season of Entourage in 2011. He's since done Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine, the Entourage movie, and HBO's Vinyl from Martin Scorsese, Mick Jagger and Terence Winter.

Showtime's betting on the comic with Dice, a semiautobiographical scripted comedy about the comic's career resurgence in Las Vegas. Guest stars include Natasha Leggero, Lorraine Bracco, Adrien Brody, Michael Rapaport, Wayne Newton, Criss Angel and Rita Rudner.

What happens to Dice in Vegas? "Some guy once tried to pick me up in a casino," he says, clarifying that a fan tried to literally lift him. "He's lucky I didn't knock his ass out."

(L to R) Juwan Mass,

GHOST BROTHERS Based on its title, concept and fun-loving lead personalities, Ghost Brothers kind of sounds like it should be a wacky '80s movie starring The Fat Boys or something. But it is, in fact, Destination America's latest foray into the paranormal.

What sets Ghost Brothers apart is that Dalen Spratt, Juwan Mass and Marcus Harvey are billed as the first African-American paranormal investigation team on television. They are three best friends who are on a mission to uncover whether legendary haunted houses throughout the Southeast are the real deal. Also perhaps different from other shows is that the trio adds comedic flair to their ghost hunts. The guys have interesting "day jobs," as well; Spratt and Mass are fashion designers with their own label, while Harvey is a comedian and "barber to the stars" (he also considers himself the Peter Venkman of the trio, for you Ghostbusters fans). Spratt adds: "The best part about Ghost Brothers is that this time, the black guys make it out of the haunted house alive!" -- Jeff Pfeiffer

Questions

With ... David Gyasi Of "Containment." By Kellie Freeze

In The CW's new apocalyptic thriller Containment (premiering April 19), when a deadly epidemic breaks out in a major U.S. city, the decision is made to cordon off a portion of the metropolis and enforce a large-scale quarantine. David Gyasi (Interstellar, Cloud Atlas) stars as Alex "Lex" Carnahan, a major in the Atlanta Police Department who is chosen to serve as the government's spokesperson, and tasked with keeping order in the panicked city. Gyasi says a possible mantra for his character is "Keep your head while everyone around you loses theirs," and the actor kept his cool when he answered our "5 Questions."

If your TV had only three shows or networks on it, what would you be watching? I would be watching Breaking Bad. I would be watching House of Cards. I would watch -- my guilty pleasure -- Scandal.

What would you do if you weren't an actor? I would be a P.E. teacher. I love sport. I love the idea that you could take a group of people and you're going to do something great and improve yourselves mentally and physically.

Whose work inspires you as an actor? The first one that always comes to mind is Denzel Washington. The Hurricane is one of my favorite films. I just always felt like he's the benchmark, but we shouldn't be trying to reach that. He doesn't need me to reach that; he needs me to now stand on his shoulders and see what's beyond.

Tell us about a time when you were starstruck. I recently pulled into a petrol station and there was an old footballer called Dion Dublin filling up his car next to mine. I was so awestruck. With actors, I'm fine -- put me on the set with Oscar winners, it's not a problem. But yeah, Dion, that was quite a moment.

What has been your strangest fan encounter? OK, so there is a popular radio DJ in the U.K. named Trevor Nelson. I had been hired to work in the airport and one of my colleagues told these girls that I was actually Trevor Nelson working in the airport. These girls came up to me and went, "It's not Trevor, is it?" "Yeah. Yeah it is." Then they took pictures of me and got me to sign some stuff. So, I'm sorry if they read this. They didn't meet Trevor. It was just me.

TV TIPS: How To Wade Your

Way Through STREAMING OPTIONS By Kellie Freeze

About a year ago, my husband informed me that we needed to be streaming. "What in the heck is that?" I asked, since I am technology averse. He explained streaming as a tech-savvy way to be able to access a media file without having to store it in a memory system. An example is watching a movie without a DVD or without downloading it to a computer's hard drive. Streaming also allows you to access some of the apps on your smartphone, tablet or computer and send them to your TV over your home's Wi-Fi.

We already have a great cable system and high-speed Internet, so being able to stream media to my favorite (and largest) TV allows me to take both components and expand on my watching experience. I'll explain.

Some televisions, called smart TVs, already have the capability to stream services like Netflix, Hulu and YouTube. These TVs have easy-tonavigate menus allowing you to find programming that interests you. If you love a particular program, your smart TV can help you search to find all of the episodes of that series, including older shows that are not part of your cable provider's on demand offerings. Plus, since you have cable TV already, many of the network-specific streaming options are available to you at no additional charge, like WatchESPN.

For owners of non-smart TVs, affordable add-ons make streaming possible. Some of the major players in streaming gadgetry include Roku, Chromecast, Amazon Fire TV and Apple TV. The prices range from $35 for a basic Chromecast stick to $149 for Apple TV's most up-to-date player. Each has its own features, but the biggest similarity is that they enable users to stream video and audio from a variety of sources. Some of the streaming products also have specific interest channels covering topics like pets, fitness or outdoor sports, and streaming devices can show you options for renting movies from pay services. Users are also able to stream from apps on their smartphones, smart TVs and tablets, including HBO GO, Showtime Anytime and Starz Play.

Hopefully, this gives you a general overview of what streaming is all about. I know I'm now fully versed on the topic (thanks to my hubby -- and my job) and am now using my smart TV and streaming services in ways I'd never imagined.
