Gary was Carrie's constant companion before her death in 2016, and accompanied her everywhere, including chat show appearances. The star was vocal about her struggle with bipolar disorder, and Gary acted as her emotional companion to help with her mental illness. In an interview with the Herald-Tribute, Carrie spoke how Gary helps her, explaining: "My mother says Gary is a hooligan. Gary is like my heart. Gary is very devoted to me and that calms me down. He's anxious when he's away from me."

The final trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi premiered on Tuesday, although the director, Rian Johnson, suggested that fans didn't have to watch it. When a fan asked him whether they should watch the trailer on Twitter, he replied: "I [am] legitimately torn. If you want to come in clean, absolutely avoid it. But it’s gooooood…" He then added: "FWIW: I love that there are folks who want to come into a movie clean, I think that's awesome. Me, I'm a weak man. I watch ALL THE TRAILERS."
