If you're not watching "Claim to Fame" this season on ABC, I highly recommend watching on Monday nights. Contestants who have celebrity relatives compete in challenges and receive clues trying to guess the other contestants' relatives while concealing their own identity.
This season's contestants are especially stumped by Chris, whose clues include:
His relative comes from Ogden, Utah.
He was a teen sensation who sang a song involving puppies.
He has a connection to Las Vegas.
One contestant was sent home after incorrectly guessing Chris is related to Sir Elton John.
I'll let you make your own guess about who Chris is, but I will suggest checking out Lottie Johnson's list of other entertainment celebrities who were born in Utah.

As heat waves rage, the country struggles to keep workers safe
There have been 12 days of temperatures hitting or eclipsing 100 degree heat in Salt Lake City — twice reaching staggering heights of 106 degrees.
"While the majority of Utah employees get the benefit of an air conditioned workspace, the same is not true for those in construction, like homebuilding or road work under the purview of the Utah Department of Transportation, as well as those in agriculture, laboring to bring in crops and take care of livestock," Amy Joi O'Donoghue writes.
And those heat conditions present looming dangers to those workers —conditions that kill more than 600 people per year in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The U.S. Department of Labor announced measures that would protect workers against heat-related illness and injuries. However, those are just recommendations, not requirements.

Whether it's your uncle on Facebook or your college friend on Instagram, most people know someone who will "go off" about issues like politics, religion and current events on social media.
There's psychology behind it and some academic experts believe it's time to reign it in on social media and other platforms on the internet.
"Online rants — including threats of violence and bodily harm — are an especially timely topic after a Utah man, Craig D. Robertson, who had posted threats against the president and other top Democratic officials, was shot and killed Wednesday by FBI agents attempting to execute arrest and search warrants at his home in Provo," Lois Collins writes.
