US television star David Caruso has been spotted sporting an almost unrecognisable new look during a recent rare outing.
The actor, 67, has been out of the spotlight in recent years but is best known for his role as Lieutenant Horatio Caine on
The US crime show ran for a whopping 232 episodes, and Caruso, who starred in all of them, became one of the most beloved US TV actors during its critically acclaimed run.
Miami came to an end in 2012, and afterward Caruso took it as a chance to take a step back from acting and enjoy his private life away from TV screens and out of the limelight.
The actor was seen near his home in LA’s San Fernando Valley as he ran errands while sporting a much longer hairstyle than fans are used to.
It marks the first time that the reclusive TV star has been photographed publicly since 2016.
Following the axing of Miami, Caruso decided to give up on acting and instead turned his attention to the art business. He opened a gallery, and also expanded into the clothing industry, opening a boutique called Steam on Sunset in Florida.
Despite giving up acting, it’s thought he still holds a fondness for his time on-screen.

Then and now
In short, the difference is clear:
Young Caruso looked fiery, sharp, and intense — while older Caruso looks mature, calmer, and marked by experience.
Grandma moved to a nursing home and left all her valuables to my siblings. I only got her recipe box – she insisted I have it.
“Are you crazy? It’s a treasure!” my neighbor yelled, holding the half-soaked recipe box I’d tossed into the trash earlier that day. I stared at her, confused. “What do you mean?”
She opened the lid carefully. Inside, despite a few smudges, were dozens of neatly written recipe cards, each labeled in my grandmother’s elegant handwriting — Grandma’s Cherry Pie (State Fair 1968)
My heart dropped.
“This box,” my neighbor said, eyes wide, “isn’t just recipes. Your grandmother’s dishes are
I took the box from her trembling hands and began flipping through the cards. Some had small notes in the margins —
Tears welled in my eyes. I suddenly understood why she insisted I have it. Grandma didn’t see it as junk — she saw it as her legacy. She knew I was the only one who ever stood beside her in the kitchen, watching, learning, tasting.
That night, I spread the cards across my table, the smell of old paper and vanilla filling the air. As I followed her first recipe — Apple Butter Bread — I could almost hear her humming behind me.
The bread came out perfectly golden, just like hers used to.
And at that moment, I made myself a promise: I would carry on her recipes, her love, and her name. Someday, I’d become the chef she believed I could be.
The “junk” I threw away wasn’t just a box of old recipes — it was the key to my grandmother’s legacy.
And by some miracle, I got it back.
That night, I couldn’t sleep. I sat at the kitchen table, the recipe box open in front of me like a time capsule. Each card carried not just ingredients, but memories — the smell of cinnamon on Sunday mornings, the laughter that used to fill Grandma’s kitchen, the way she’d tap my hand gently and say, “Patience, sweetheart — good things take time.”
As dawn broke, I decided to do something I’d never done before. I took her most famous recipe — Grandma’s Secret Lemon Cream Cake — and baked it exactly as she wrote it. Every detail. Every instruction. When I took it out of the oven, it looked exactly like hers. I cried. Not because it was perfect, but because it felt like she was there, smiling at me.
That same week, I brought a slice to the local bakery where Grandma used to work decades ago. The owner, an old friend of hers, tasted it and went silent. Then he said softly, “That’s her cake. I’d know it anywhere.”
He asked me to bring more. A week later, he offered to feature it on the menu — under the name Grandma’s Legacy Cake.
Orders started pouring in. People loved it. Some said it reminded them of home, of their own grandmothers. Word spread, and soon, I was baking every night after work. The little recipe box had turned into a dream — a dream that my grandmother had been saving just for me.
Now, every time I hold one of her worn cards, I whisper, “Thank you, Grandma.”
She didn’t leave me gold or jewelry — she left me something far more precious: her passion, her wisdom, her love.
And because of that, she’s still here, in every pie, every loaf, every bite I make.
NBC’s Live TV Shocker: Beloved Today Host Fired On-Air Without Warning, Sparks Nationwide Outrage
Morning television thrives on comfort, routine, and familiarity. But on Tuesday, NBC tore that all away in an instant — in what insiders are calling the most cold-blooded on-air dismissal ever broadcast.
THE MOMENT THAT SHOOK AMERICA
Halfway through the Today broadcast, a sudden announcement stunned the studio. Without warning, a beloved veteran host was told their tenure had ended. The reaction was heartbreaking: eyes welling up with tears, words failing, and an entire studio audience gasping.
Other co-hosts froze, visibly shaken. The show, known for its polished flow, descended into stunned silence. Producers scrambled through headsets, unsure whether to cut to commercial.
FANS OUTRAGED
Within minutes, social media exploded. Hashtags #NBCExplain and #TodayShow trended worldwide. Fans expressed heartbreak and fury at the unceremonious dismissal:
“This is not how you treat someone who gave decades of loyalty.”
“I grew up with this host every morning. Watching them humiliated live was cruel.”
“NBC just ended trust with millions of viewers in one move.”
NETWORK SILENCE
NBC has refused to comment. No press release, no explanation — just silence.
The lack of clarity has only fueled speculation. Was it a contract dispute? A behind-the-scenes clash? Or part of a broader shake-up in morning television?
Industry insiders say NBC may have underestimated the backlash. “This was handled like a corporate boardroom firing, not a farewell for a household name,” one analyst said. “The optics are disastrous.”
A LEGACY ERASED IN SECONDS
The host’s departure is being described as “the end of an era.” After decades on screen, their career was cut off mid-sentence. No highlight reel. No final words. No goodbye.
One longtime viewer wrote: “They deserved balloons, applause, and a thank you — not this public execution.”
WHAT COMES NEXT
With fan outrage growing and NBC’s silence deepening suspicion, the network faces a critical moment. Can it repair its relationship with viewers after shattering the trust that made Today an institution?
FINAL WORD
NBC didn’t just fire a host — it detonated its own credibility. The cold dismissal of a beloved Today veteran on live television has sparked outrage, heartbreak, and a nationwide demand for answers.
