This season of Deadliest Catch has seen some fun moments. One of these is a moment that happened with the F/V Time Bandit. At this moment, dolphins showed up and changed everything about the journey of this vessel on the hit Discovery Channel reality satires.

Here is what happened and how the dolphins made a difference for the F/V Time Bandit.

What Happened With The F/V Time Bandit On Deadliest Catch?

The F/V Time Bandit is co-owned by brothers Johnathan and Andy Hillstrand. The Hillstrands actually constructed and custom-built the vessel themselves. This vessel is, more than almost any other on Deadliest Catch, a family business. Even their younger brother Neal Hillsterand works as a deckhand, as does John’s son Scott.

The brothers decided to accept the offer to be on the reality show because they thought it could...

Fans of Discovery Channel’s Deadliest Catch Season 19 know Johnathan Hillstrand well. The fisherman has been part of the series for years, and he once was the captain of the F/V Time Bandit. However, the series no longer features the Time Bandit. So, where is the fishing vessel in 2023? Here’s what to know about the crab fishing boat and what Hillstrand has mentioned about it in the past.

Where is the F/V Time Bandit from ‘Deadliest Catch’ in 2023?

Fans keeping up with Deadliest Catch Season 19 continue to see some of their favorite fishing vessels out at sea. But several boats that were once featured are no longer in the show. Johnathan Hillstrand’s boat, the F/V Time Bandit, no longer makes appearances in the Discovery Channel reality series despite having regular appearances from seasons 2 through 13 and then again in seasons 17, 18, and 19.

So, what happened to the Time Bandit?...

The fishermen on Discovery Channel’s reality series Deadliest Catch face no shortage of risks when they head out to sea. Intense storms, tough working conditions, and more mean the threat of injury is ever-present. But sometimes, accidents are avoidable. After a deckhand on the F/V Time Bandit seriously injured his hand in a 2013 fireworks explosion, he sued. A jury eventually awarded him more than $1 million in compensation.

When you’re out at sea, it’s hard to find ways to blow off steam. One way the crew of some Deadliest Catch boats have kept themselves entertained? Fireworks battles. But the fun took a serious turn when Time Bandit deckhand David “Beaver” Zielinski seriously injured himself while attempting to shoot off an explosive.

In January 2013, Zielinski and the rest of the Time Bandit...

Discovery Channel’s reality TV series, Deadliest Catch Season 19, follows new and returning crew members heading out into the Bering Sea. Loyal fans of the series remember when the Cornelia Marie was a featured fishing vessel on Deadliest Catch. So, where is the Cornelia Marie in 2023? Here’s what to know.

Is the Cornelia Marie still on ‘Deadliest Catch’ in 2023? Cornelia Marie in ‘Deadliest Catch’ | Discovery UK via YouTube

The Cornelia Marie doesn’t appear in Deadliest Catch Season 19. With that said, a fan on Reddit noticed the boat in the background of the season 19 premiere. “I saw the Cornelia Marie in the background again, at the 28:24 to 28:31 mark, when the Saga was leaving the docks,” the fan wrote. “The bottom front part’s blurred (name and logo/emblem), but longtime DC fans will know the Cm when they see her, blurred or not.”

According to Reality Titbit,...

Fans of the hit reality TV show, Deadliest Catch, will be thrilled to know that Andy Hillstrand is returning this season. He’s a fan-favorite and a series veteran. Here’s what you need to know about his career, his departure, and his return to the Discovery show.

Andy Hillstrand starred in ‘Deadliest Catch’ with his brothers

Hillstrand is a seasoned fisherman and a familiar face to fans of Deadliest Catch. He is part of the Hillstrand family, which includes his brothers Jonathan and Newl, who are the owners of one of the show’s featured ships, the Time Bandit.

Hillstrand has been fishing for over 30 years. And his experience and expertise made him an invaluable member of the Time Bandit crew.

Andy Hillstrand returns to ‘Deadliest Catch’ for the first time since 2016

In Season 13, Andy’s brother Jonathan revealed he was leaving Deadliest Catch.

Deadliest Catch, the popular reality TV series that follows the perilous lives of crab fishermen, returned for its 19th season on April 18 on Discovery. This season promises to be an exciting one, with a mix of returning and new cast members, including one who could make history.

Fans will see a few familiar faces return in ‘Deadliest Catch’ Season 19

Sig and Mandy Hansen are set to return for their 12th season on the F/V Northwestern. The father-daughter duo has become fan favorites due to their close relationship and impressive crabbing skills.

Fans can also look forward to the return of Andy Hillstrand, a seasoned fisherman and an invaluable member of the F/V Time Bandit crew. Hillstrand left the show in 2016 but will return to join his brother Jonathan for Season 19.

While beautiful, the #BeringSea is considered one of the most difficult bodies of water to navigate. The freezing temperatures,...

Discovery Channel is headed back out to sea. Deadliest Catch returns in April 2023 with new episodes featuring a mix of seasoned skippers and novice fishermen who are trying their luck in the Bering Sea.

‘Deadliest Catch’ Season 19 premieres April 18

The 19th season of Deadliest Catch premieres Tuesday, April 18 at 8 p.m. Et on Discovery Channel. The super-sized two-hour premiere will also be available to stream the same day on discovery+.

In the latest season of the long-running reality series, rising Alaskan Crab prices have both newcomers and experienced captains hoping to score a big payday. But those sky-high prices, combined with tensions with Russia and China, are fueling illegal fishing. Veterans and newbies will have to band together to defend their fishing grounds if they hope to thrive in a competitive and dangerous industry.

In 1990, producer Stephanie Austin, previously known for her work in television, helped shepherd one of the biggest films of the decade to the big screen. Little did she know at the time, as she first looked through James Cameron's ambitious sequel script, that she would soon be producing the most expensive movie up to that point - a new high-watermark in special effects, and a proving ground for other CGI blockbusters.

Spoiler Alert: Read on only after you have already watched the beginning of The Walking Dead season 7 premiere, “The Day Will Come When You Won’t Be.”

We knew Steven Yeun would land on his feet!

On Thursday, The Walking Dead’s beloved star stopped by Conan to discuss Sunday’s heartbreaking episode following his character’s brutal murder, and Yeun revealed that he already snagged a fun new gig.

“I got a new job already,” the 32-year-old actor told Conan O’Brien. “I actually stand-in for you at rehearsal.”

“You know what’s funny, I heard about this recently,...

Don't worry, fans of The Walking Dead. Steven Yeun isn't lost forever. Although Yeun's character Glenn is dead on the hit TV show, he won't be gone from the small screen forever, as he revealed on Conan Thursday night that he already booked a new gig. "I got a new job already," Yeun told Conan O'Brien. "I stand in for you at rehearsal." Surprised, Conan said she had heard someone had taken the job but didn't know who. "I heard about this recently—I don't come in for rehearsals as you can tell—Andy [Richter] and I are flown in by helicopter seconds before the show begins," Conan said. "But I don't hang out at rehearsal and they said...

Director Guillermo del Toro is undeniably one of the most gleefully geeky directors working in Hollywood. His love of horror, fantasy, and the history of cinema blends effortlessly into his works, just as his painstaking attention to detail demonstrates his true care for the world of movies. Andy Richter of the Conan O’Brien Show recently visited the Pan’s Labyrinth director’s wondrous and bizarre “Bleak House,” more akin in many ways to a museum than a humble abode.

From a massive Boris Karloff head as Frankstein’s Monster greeting guests in the foyer to incredibly detailed, life-sized recreations of H.P. Lovecraft and Edgar Allen poe in the den, del Toro’s locale proves the director’s inspirations (and creations) are truly dear to him. See the full tour below, with a countless number of classic cinematic artifacts and recreations — along with Andy’s cameraman accidentally breaking an object.

Los Angeles police just held a news conference to address reports that a knife was found at the site of O.J. Simpson’s demolished former house in Brentwood.

Because one major reunion stop is just not enough, LCD Soundsystem are also taking their restored act to this summer's Bonnaroo. The Tennessee-based megafest on Tuesday unveiled its initial 2016 slate, which also includes the likes of Pearl Jam, Grateful Dead offshoot Dead & Company (another reunion, which comes with two sets), J. Cole, Tame Impala, Haim, Chvrches, Big Grams, Father John Misty, Tyler the Creator, Vince Staples, Third Eye Blind, and Shamir, among many, many others and soon-to-be additions. Here's a poster:The comedy lineup is still in the works, but Judd Apatow and Ed Helms will definitely be there — the latter of whom is again hosting his beautifully Andy Bernard bluegrass SuperJam. Oh, and don't forget the special guests Conan announced late Tuesday night: Exciting! This year's fest takes place June 9 to 12, in Manchester, Tennessee; tickets go on sale at noon on Friday, over here.

If you're like us and value your sleep, you probably nodded off into your Ambien dreamland before the party started on post-prime time TV. Don't worry; we've got you covered. Here's the best of what happened last night on late night.

Ricky Gervais is hosting the Golden Globe Awards this Sunday, January 10, but first he taught Conan O'Brien and Andy Richter how to play a so-dumb-it's-hilarious game called "A--hole Or Elbow." Ricky said, despite the insult "don't know your a-- from your elbow," his elbow and his own butt look pretty similar. To prove it, he took a close-up photo of his elbow and cropped it so it looked like it could be his butt. He kept taking photos on the couch and things got Really gross, but also really funny. Andy volunteered his own elbow as tribute and Ricky took a double-flap photo. Ricky said he and his friend...

Careful. If you cancel on a comedian, you get a free roast in your absence. Only "Jimmy Kimmel Live" and "Conan" are airing new shows this week, Fallon and the other late-night guys are on repeats, and both Jimmy Kimmel and Conan O'Brien saw their main Tuesday night guests cancel at the last minute.

So the hosts did what all decent comedians would do -- they burned the guests behind their backs.

Kimmel is in Brooklyn this week, and even though Donald Trump's team gave him about a day's notice to cancel, it's still a huge blow to lose Trump as a guest. Kimmel told the audience they're still confused as to what happened. "His people called late last night and canceled on us," said Kimmel (via The Hollywood Reporter). "They were cryptic as to why he canceled - they said he has a major political commitment. But he...

Since Gawker leaked Donald Trump's phone number, "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" did a bit where President Obama called Trump with debate advice. Cue Jimmy's impressive impression of The Donald and his constant interruptions and number dumping: Trump: "I don't understand, why would you want to help me become president?" Obama: "Uh, because it'd be hilarious? Look, I've been president for eight years, I'm ready for some entertainment. I just want to grab some popcorn, sit back, and watch this whole sh-tshow go down." Haha. Watch the whole video for their "Cheerleader" duet. Please say it's true that Trump's debate will indeed be auto-tuned. Meryl Streep...

Conan O'Brien is officially our favorite person ever (actually, was this ever up for debate?). The Late Night host and his side-kick, Andy Richter, hit up San Diego Comic-Con in true style -- by recreating "Mad Max: Fury Road" for the show's opening segment. Obviously, Conan starred as The Doof Warrior, who's shredding session was interrupted by Andy getting lost on the way to San Diego. Understandable.

Check out the clip below.

What a lovely day! Instead of merely hopping on a bus or driving himself, Conan O'Brien arrived in style at San Diego Comic-Con this year. In honor of his show filming at the annual pop culture convention all weekend long, the late night host made a tribute to one of the most exhilarating films of the year: "Mad Max: Fury Road." The intro for Wednesday's show featured Andy Richter dressing up as bad guy Immortan Joe from the Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron flick, as he drove a giant truck through a desert wasteland. As for Conan, he was dressed in a red onesie and sported wild hair as he played a fire-spitting guitar. It was all sorts of epic ... until the music kept Andy from hearing the navigation system.

What does "Magic Mike" mean to an 8-year-old? It's time to find out, in the most adorable way possible. Channing Tatum was on "The Tonight Show" and he and Jimmy Fallon re-enacted scenes from Chan's movie, "Magic Mike Xxl." The catch, though, was that the scenes were not from the male stripper movie, it was another round of Kid Theater, where kids were just given the name "Magic Mike" and asked to write scenes on the topic. Interestingly enough, even innocent magic references are loaded with "pumping" and "blow" sexual innuendo. Are these scenes ever really written by children or just childish adults?

Channing also shared a story from the "Magic Mike Xxl" set.

Seth MacFarlane is already known for his impressive vocal talents, so of course the "Family Guy" creator and "Ted 2" director was awesome at Jimmy Fallon's "Wheel of Impressions." Just watch him discuss Time Warner Cable as Liam Neeson (he has a very particular set of channels...), then take on Starbucks as Bobcat Goldthwait, and chat about movies as Ray Romano. All Bobcat impressions are gold, since there's almost no way to miss with that. Of course, these things are never random -- Seth already showed off his Liam impression in Moviefone's Unscripted last year, so they let him do it again.

In his own sit-down interview, Seth discussed how his father,...

Real comedy still happens on late night, we can prove it. If you like Conan comedy gold, Fallon friendliness, cutesy Corden, list-making Letterman, kneedy Kimmel, and all the rest, I hope you’ll enjoy this column too.

Last night on late night, Don Rickles and Howard Stern were on Late Show, Louis Ck spoke with Seth Meyers about working for Conan, James Corden worked in an La juice bar, Conan parodied Guy Fieri, and we take a look at the sub-optimal broadcasting of two British gentlemen on a messianic quest to bring “football” to America.

Zach Woods decided to do improv exercises on Conan's show last night. The drill, as he'll describe, was yelling this at someone very loudly and very seriously. There are a lot of great moments here: First, it's Woods like you've never seem him before: Super Saiyan. Then, when things intensify in the speed round, it looks like Woods needs an adult Asap. Conan turns into Pac-Man. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau runs away and would clearly rather be playing any of the games on Jimmy Fallon's show. Oh, and Andy's in this, too.

Apparently Jimmy forgot, but he auditioned for Louis when Louis was the head writer for "The Dana Carvey Show" in the '90s.

Now Rowe has retorted with this video, in which he explains the source of his confusion and then body-slams Hillstrand (metaphorically, of course) with a smile on his face -- and a nod to the widespread impression that "Deadliest" is a floating soap opera (not to mention a "numerical Rubik's Cube").

Where will it end? Knowing the penchant for fireworks aboard the Time Bandit, anything could happen.

Since the beginning, former "Dirty Jobs" star Mike Rowe has narrated Discovery's crab-fishing docu-series "Deadliest Catch," airing Tuesdays. In reading narration week after week, he's learned a few facts about the boats out on Alaska's Bering Sea.

But, it seems Rowe doesn't know quite enough to please Andy Hillstrand, the co-captain (with brother Johnathan) of the F/V Time Bandit -- and a little Twitter dust-up ensued between @mikeroweworks and @capt_andy.

Rowe fired back at Hillstrand's assertion, made on Twitter in response to a fan's comment, that he "doesn't know s***," with this video. (Nsfw language, as you might expect.)

Then Hillstrand answered with a video of his own, schooling Rowe on the ins and outs of boats and current and former deckhands -- in particular Jake Anderson, Josh Harris and Jake Harris.

On his Facebook page, Rowe replied to Hillstrand with "Well played, Captain. Well played. Please stand...

What a low blow, Aisha! In a new interview, ‘The Talk’ star was asked about being given the wrong envelope as a presenter at the Daytime Emmys in June, and she totally slammed soap actresses in her response!

Aisha Tyler is a daytime TV talk show host (and the voice of a character on FX’s Archer), she apparently puts herself above daytime TV actors.

Aisha Tyler Slams Soap Opera Actors

Aisha revealed her low thoughts of soap opera stars while being interviewed by Andy Cohen on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live on July 11. Andy asked her about the Daytime Emmys mixup from a month before, when Aisha was forced to ad-lib after she was given the envelope for the next category, not the one she was supposed to be reading.

“They’ve never given out the wrong envelope in the history of the Emmy Awards, ever,” Aisha said.

Chris Pratt knows it’s “kinda douchey” to post a shirtless pic on Instagram, but we’ll forgive him. The Parks and Recreation star’s brother convinced him to show off his new physique for Marvel’s big-screen Guardians of the Galaxy in which Pratt will play leading man Star Lord, the half-human half-alien leader of a bio-engineered team of space-traveling heroes. We’re guessing this took Henry Cavill hours in the gym, but Pratt credits “Six months no beer.”

While Pratt has been at fighting weight before to play a member of Seal Team Six in Zero Dark Thirty...

The crab-fishing captains of Discovery Channel's Tuesday reality hit "Deadliest Catch" supply a lot of tasty shellfish to tables around the world. So, when it's time to sit down to eat between pulling Bering Sea crab pots on the F/V Time Bandit, what's on the menu?

"Out on the boat," says co-captain (with brother Andy) Johnathan Hillstrand, "we all cook together. There's seven of us guys, and guys are actually pretty good cooks. Everyone knows their own specialty. Somebody knows how to make spaghetti, or I make chili. Mine is just plain chili; it's not real spicy. If you want to add Tabasco, it's there.

"But I can cook almost anything. I make a nice salad, with vinaigrette. Basically, we'll buy full filets, and we'll trim them ourselves. We eat crab, of course, a lot of fresh crab. A lot of these boats, they eat pizza pockets, and they don't eat right.

Zap2it: Along with crab fishing, "Deadliest Catch" is about relationships, mostly father-son and brother-brother. That includes you and your older brother, Capt. Sig Hansen, of the F/V Northwestern. What's that dynamic?

Edgar Hansen: He's the older brother, and he'll always be the older brother. So it goes back to our family. There was no hugging, no "I love yous" and "goodbyes," all that c***. Everything was based on respect. We respected our father, what he did for a living.

Zap2it: This season, you got the chance to leave the deck and come up to the wheelhouse to be captain for blue crab season. Might we see the Northwestern go to a tag-team captain model, like brothers Andy and Johnathan Hillstrand on the F/V Time Bandit?

Edgar Hansen: Yeah, well, those guys get along, and they can handle each other in the wheelhouse. We tried that,...

The good folks at Discovery Channel were kind enough to pass along to Zap2it fans this exclusive clip from Tuesday's (June 4) "Deadliest Catch" episode, showing the Bering Sea crab-fishing fleet enjoying audio of a Seattle Seahawks playoff game from January.

But when the crew of the F/V Time Bandit -- captained, for opilio-crab season, by Andy Hillstrand -- decides to celebrate in the usual way, something goes very wrong.

Watch:

Also, as "Deadliest" devotees know, Jake Anderson, a deckhand on the F/V Northwestern -- and the protege of its captain, Sig Hansen, who performed his wedding ceremony -- decided to seek advancement by moving over to the high-end fishing vessel Kiska Sea.

Anderson is still at sea, fishing (you'll have to keep watching to see on which boat), but he did have something to say on Twitter in May after his fight -- seen in the May...
