OUTFRONT Media is the out-of-home advertising firm that worked with New York City and Max to mount the citywide promotion campaign for the second season of "And Just Like That ...".

Correction: A representative of Peacock has informed me that the character played by Matthew Fox in "Last Light" is "Andy Yeats," not "Andy Nielsen." However, the character is identified as "Andy Nielsen" on the show's landing page on Peacock's web site for journalists -- which is how I came to use it in today's TV Blog. Nevertheless, the TV Blog regrets the error.

Columnist's update: Al Jean, executive producer of "The Simpsons," informs me via Twitter today (10-17-17) that Kang and Kodos are indeed visible in "Treehouse Of Horror XXVIII" as "candies" in the trick-or-treat candy bowl also occupied by the Simpson family candy bars (although not in the above publicity photo, apparently). He was gracious in his correction, wishing me a Happy Halloween, which I hearby pass on to all readers of the TV Blog here. My one-word Twitter reply to him was: "D'oh!"
