Did you know that even though she is still only 20 years old, Mr. Beard's daughter is a freelance writer for "Saturday Night Live"? Having won more Emmy Awards than any other show in history, "Saturday Night Live" is a television institution! Mr. Beard's daughter Ally is now a junior at Harvard University. In late 2016, just as she was starting her senior year at nearby Attleboro High School, she applied for a position writing jokes for the "Weekend Update" segment of "Saturday Night Live." Shortly after submitting a packet of jokes to the show's producers, Ally got a call telling her that she got the job! At just 17 years old, she officially became one of the youngest freelancers ever to write jokes for "SNL". See an NBC television news segment detailing Ally's story by clicking the NBC Peacock logo below. (If you look closely, you can see a proud Mr. Beard getting emotional when talking about his daughter.)

Did you know that, despite their age difference, Mr. Beard and Mr. Cummings (who is currently teaching in Costa Rica) actually met quite a long time ago? Mr. Cummings' mother and Mr. Beard went to college together (at Bridgewater State University). One day, Mr. Cummings' mother had some friends over, including Mr. Beard, for lunch. While Mr. Beard and Mr. Cummings' mother sat in the back yard and talked, a middle-school-aged Mr. Cummings swam in the Cummings Family swimming pool. Years later, when Mr. Cummings started working at Norton Middle School, he told his mother that one of his new friends was named Mr. Beard. Mr. Cummings' mother quickly figured out that it was the same Mr. Beard that she knew from college! Small world.
