It premieres Tuesday on Netflix. «The Fall Guy» is finally coming to Peacock, where it will be streaming starting Friday, August 30, alongside an “extended cut” version.

diamond discovered in more than a century has been unearthed in Botswana, marking a historic discovery. The stunning 2,492 carat diamond was unveiled during a special ceremony presided over by Botswana's president. This stone, which is about the size of a fist and weighs about a pound, has attracted a lot of interest and enthusiasm, as per the reports of the New York Post. Initial estimates say the diamond may be worth over $40 million, but it is too early to confirm the actual value or complete the sale. The Canadian mining corporation Lucara, which found the diamond at its Karowe Mine, is the source of this information. Some industry insiders, though, think this assessment may be low. Renowned diamond expert Fred Cuellar likened the value of diamonds to that of real estate, where the amount depends on comparable sales in the recent past. Given that a smaller diamond from the same mine sold for $63 million in 2016, Cuellar estimated that the diamond's potential value ranged from $100 million to $160 million.
