By Jay Bobbin Q : How did Michael Stra- han get selected to go into outer space? — Jim Phillips, via email A : Along with Laura Shep- ard Churchley, eldest daughter of original Ameri- can astronaut Alan Shepard, the football veteran turned "Good Morning America" co-anchor was invited as an "honorary guest" by Blue Ori- gin ... the Jeff Bezos-headed company responsible for the flight (as well as for the pre- vious one that took William Shatner into orbit). The guests didn't have to pay for their passage, though four paying customers also were on board; however, Strahan did earn a stipend that he donated to The Boys & Girls Club. That star trek wasn't his only major event recently, since he also had his New York Giants jer- sey (No. 92) retired shortly before he took his brief but memorable ride into the cosmos. Q : When is "Billions" coming back? — Ted Roman, Columbus, Ohio A : Jan. 23. Season 6 of the Showtime drama is able to start fairly soon after Season 5 ended, since production kept going after the cast and crew returned to finish the fifth season ... which was interrupted by a pandemic-caused shutdown. A cast absence will be very noticeable to "Billions" fans since Damian Lewis has left the show, his Bobby "Axe" Axelrod having relocated to Europe to avoid incarceration for his financial "creativity." Q : Since there were two editions of "The Bach- elorette" this year, with one coming shortly after the other, does that mean there won't be one in the spring? — Heather Willis, Grand Junction, Colo. A : At the time of this writing, ABC hadn't yet confirmed its entire plan for the "Bachelor" franchise for 2022 — beyond the original show starting its 26th season Jan. 3 — but we'd suspect that if production conditions allow, the pattern will return to normal, with "The Bache- lorette" having its traditional start in May. A big reason for the extra "Bachelorette" this year was the controversy that arose over "The Bachelor" and ultimately saw host and pro- ducer Chris Harrison leave the show. While things were being worked out there, it was decided to keep the traditional "Bachelor" flow through the programming year going not only with an- other "Bachelor in Paradise," but also by staging another "Bachelorette."
