HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB

- Comedy Central has renewed Digman! for a second season. (Deadline)
- Disney+ and Hulu are going to merge into one app, but they'll still be available as separate services. (CNET)

- As a writer's strike nearly shut down the last few episodes of the end of the season for Jeopardy!, Mayim Bialik was unwilling to cross the picket line, but Ken Jennings was willing to do that. (Deadline)
