 The text describes an entertaining event featuring Jimmy Vivino and the Basic Cable Band, with special guests Jack White and Janet Jackson. The show ended with Conan promoting Lopez Tonight, which moved to midnight to make way for his 11 pm show. Jane Jackson was also present on Monday night with George Lopez. A NASA solar dynamics observatory image from December 22 shows sunspots that resemble a face, sparking Mayan prophecy claims. However, this is just a coincidence and not a real prophecy. Stress can cause more harm than good, and it's essential to manage it by practicing mindfulness, self-repair mechanisms, and improving quality of life.
