He added: “(This week is also the 25th anniversary of the Sydney Olympics, but that’s not why we’re here. That would be a weird system for planning an anniversary trip.)”

The pair met when they both attended Brigham Young University for college, although it took Ken nine months after revealing his intentions to ask Mindy out to her roommate for him to actually do so. They got engaged while at BYU and tied the knot shortly after graduating together in 2000.

Mindy, who previously worked as a preschool teacher, keeps a low profile — she hasn’t made any public appearances with Ken over the years and she doesn’t have public social media accounts. In 2013, she offered a small look into their relationship, explaining what her first impression of the game show icon was.

“He mostly wanted people to know he was funny,” she told Buzzfeed at the time. “He’s not the type of person who wants you to know he knows everything.”

Ken and Mindy share two children together: son Dylan, born in 2002, and daughter Caitlin, born in 2006. Not much is known about the kids, although Ken shared an update on Dylan’s life in October 2022. The post featured a photo of his older child wearing a Seattle Mariners baseball jersey at a ball game.

“The last time his team made it to the playoffs, this guy wasn’t born yet. He just started his sophomore year of college. Congrats @Mariners!” the father of two captioned it.

In 2021, Ken also gave some insight into his parenting style and opened up about what surprised him most about becoming a dad.

“The constant change: People tend to remember their childhood as a constant, steady state, but when you see a kid from a parent’s eye, you realize there’s a new interest or a new quirk every few weeks,” Ken told Yahoo! Life. “It’s eye-opening how your own perception of childhood maybe isn’t that accurate. You need to be ready for your kid to have a new challenge or obsession monthly — or more.”

“Parenting is always a moving target: you’re really just responding to the current needs of the kid, which might be different [needs] than six months ago,” he continued. “So it’s a lot of listening, because the kid will tell you what you need — but it’s not going to be what you expect and it’s not what you remember you needing at their age.”

Ken Jennings Roasts His Worst-Ever ‘Jeopardy!’ Outfits

Ken Jennings/Instagram/Jeopardy!

Ken Jennings reviewed the outfits her wore during his 75-game Jeopardy! run. The game show host roasted what were some of his worst and questioned why he wore them.

“Ken Jennings is throwing a fit… back to the early 2000s! Which look is your favorite? 😅 #Jeopardy!” the Instagram post was captioned. Jennings sat down to watch the clips of him and give input.

The first clip was of him in a tan button-down shirt and a tie with Coca-Cola bottles on it. “If I’m seeing that right, that is a terrible tie,” current-day Ken Jennings said. “And really, it’s a color of shirt I would never wear.” “I guess if you like Coca-Cola, you’re into that outfit. That’s really unfortunate.”

“I feel like maybe I should be wearing some sweaters,” the host said. In the next clip, Jennings wore a suit jacket, white shirt, and pink paisley tie. “At least there, I’m wearing a jacket. A lot of these were like cheap dollar ties, probably from when I lived in Korea, and you could get knockoff clothes for cheap.” He thought that none of the ties he wore on the game show cost more than $3. “And it really shows,” he said.

The third clip showed Jennings wearing a maroon shirt and a tie with red, gray, and black stripes. “Wow! Horizontal stripes, so it’s not exactly slimming. It does go with the shirt, but in an unpleasant way.”

“It looks like I’m wearing the Empire State Building on my chest,” he insulted himself.

The next one had Ken Jennings in a striped shirt and patterned tie. “This one is alright, but it still looks like some kid is wearing his dad’s clothes and not blinking.”

For the next one, he wore a yellow shirt and a tie with a bunch of faces on it. “I’m surprised they even let me wear that because it was so bright,” Ken Jennings said.

“I think I was just trying to vary as much as possible. You don’t want to wear the same six shirts because the audience will catch on to that. So, instead, I wore new, worse shirts,” he joked.

Fans Slam ‘Sketchy’ and ‘Gross’ New ‘Price Is Right’ Game: ‘This Will Always Feel Like a Scam’

Instagram/therealpriceisright

Fans don’t want to come on down to play The Price Is Right’s new betting game!

Host Drew Carey unveiled The Lion’s Share, a new challenge in partnership with BetMGM, on Monday, September 22, which he boasted “might be the greatest game we’ve ever had.”

Instagram/therealpriceisright

The first contestant to play had to guess the cost of a series of household items in order to earn the chance to grab five of 40 balls that were being blown around in an air chamber.

The numbered balls each represented a prize, which was then uncovered on a giant digital screen. She won a trip to Tokyo, a hot tub, electric guitars and cash.

Instagram/therealpriceisright

While some fans on Instagram gushed about how “cool” and “fun” the new game looks, others were skeptical.

“Beyond the gross feeling sponsorship on a pricing game I also call predetermined BS on this game,” wrote one. “Unless they change it to show us what’s revealed behind each uncalled number this will always feel like a predetermined scam.”

Another agreed that the “fact they don’t even tell you what all the available prizes are is sketchy to begin with.”

A commenter on Reddit slammed the “horrendous” game for taking “too long,” and betting “too easy.”

Still others were disappointed in the show’s partnership with the betting site.

“I am shocked and saddened,” wrote a third self-professed longtime viewer. “Why would CBS sell their soul to MGM Resorts International who preys on people to gamble their lives away? CBS you should be ashamed.”

The show featured a PSA urging those with a gambling problem to call 1-800-Gambler.

Reba McEntire Breaks Down in Tears on ‘The Voice’ Season 28—A Moment That Moved Everyone

Country music legend Reba McEntire is known for her strength, grace, and signature Southern charm—but during Season 28 of The Voice, viewers saw a more vulnerable side of the iconic coach. In a deeply emotional moment during the Blind Auditions, Reba was brought to tears by a contestant’s performance that struck a personal chord.

🎤 A Song That Hit Home

The moment unfolded when a young contestant took the stage with a heartfelt rendition of a country ballad that Reba herself had once recorded. As the lyrics filled the room, Reba’s expression shifted from admiration to quiet reflection. By the final chorus, she was visibly emotional, wiping away tears as fellow coaches looked on in support.

“I wasn’t expecting that,” Reba said, her voice trembling. “That song means a lot to me—and you sang it like you lived it.”

💞 Coaches Rally Around Her

Michael Bublé, Niall Horan, and Snoop Dogg offered comforting words, with Bublé placing a hand on Reba’s shoulder and saying, “That’s the power of music—it brings us back to places we thought we’d forgotten.” The contestant, unaware of the impact they’d made, was stunned when Reba turned her chair and welcomed them to Team Reba with open arms.

🌟 Fans React with Love

Social media lit up with praise for Reba’s authenticity. Fans called the moment “raw,” “beautiful,” and “proof that even legends feel deeply.” Many shared their own stories of how music helped them through personal struggles, echoing the emotional resonance of the scene.

🎬 A Reminder of Why We Watch

Reba’s tears weren’t just about the song—they were a reminder of the human stories behind every note. In a show built on talent and competition, this moment stood out for its honesty and heart. Season 28 is already shaping up to be one of the most emotionally powerful seasons yet—and Reba’s vulnerability is part of what makes it unforgettable.

The Voice hit by unexpected upset ahead of season 28 shake-up

The NBC competition show has fallen behind

Is The Voice losing its appeal?

The beloved NBC music competition has been on the air since 2011 for 27 seasons, when the founding judges were Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, and CeeLo Green.

In that time, it has earned a whopping 86 Emmy nominations across the awards’ many categories, however, that wasn’t the case this year.

The Voice’s 2024 judges

For the first time since 2012, The Voice didn’t earn any nominations within the Television Academy’s main awards, losing out on its chance to win its fourth Emmy.

It did however earn some Creative Arts nods, the branch of the Emmys that focuses on technical, creative and craft categories, including Outstanding Picture Editing for a Structured Reality or Competition Program, Outstanding Hairstyling for a Variety, Nonfiction, or Reality Program, Outstanding Lighting Design/Lighting Direction for a Series, Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Reality Program, Outstanding Technical Direction and Camerawork for a Series.

In place of The Voice, Survivor is back in the game in the Outstanding Reality Competition Program category, after failing to earn a nomination last year.

Others in the category are RuPaul’s Drag Race, Shark Tank, Top Chef, and fan favorite The Traitors.

What’s next for season 28

The Emmys upset comes amid a major cast change for the upcoming 28th season, as not one, not two, but three of the four judges are not coming back, making Michael Bublé, who first joined for season 26 in 2024, the only judge staying on.

Adam, a founding judge alongside Blake, who has since also left the show, initially departed in 2019, and this season was his first (and apparently only) back on the chair. He confirmed as much during an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, declaring: “I am gonna confirm the rumors are true.” He added: “The rumors are correct. There are details. I cannot divulge all the details.”

Meanwhile Kelsea Ballerini, who made her debut as judge this season, is eager to lay low for a while. Speaking with ExtraTV, she confessed: “I’m going to hibernate for a while,” and emphasized she is going to “disappear for a bit.”

Miley Cyrus also once served as judge

Last but certainly not least, John Legend is also leaving, however he has been more mum about it and what his summer plans are. While he hasn’t opened up much about it this time around, he has taken breaks from The Voice before, and when he didn’t come back for season 26, he told Entertainment Tonight: “We’ve always got so many things going on. I’ll be doing a lot of shows this summer and traveling overseas this summer.”

As for who to expect on the judges panel next season alongside Michael? Well three may be leaving, but expect some familiar faces back on those swivel chairs! Previous judges and fan-favorites Reba McEntire, Niall Horan and Snoop Dogg have all been confirmed to be coming back for season 28.

“The Voice” Coach Faces Personal Turmoil: Marriage Ends After Half a Decade, Impacting Public Persona. A prominent coach on the widely popular singing competition “The Voice” is reportedly undergoing a divorce after five years of marriage, a development that casts a personal shadow over their otherwise vibrant public image. Sources close to the celebrity indicate the separation, prompting reflection on the pressures faced by public figures balancing professional success with private struggles under intense media scrutiny.

‘The Voice’ Coach Getting Divorce After Five Years Of Marriage

Sadly, one of The Voice coaches is currently facing divorce. Undeniably, separation can take its toll on anyone, but having a highly visible life adds even more pressure. However, after five years, one coach is mutually parting ways with their spouse.

Til Death Do Us Part

While vowing to stay together forever is a pretty common exchange at a wedding, unfortunately, it doesn’t always work out that way. After giving marriage a five-year shot, The Voice coach Chance the Rapper and his wife, Kirsten Corley, are moving forward with divorce. On Wednesday, April 3, Chance and Kirsten took to Instagram to inform the public. Saying, “After a period of separation, the two of us have arrived at the decision to part ways.” Furthermore, their joint Instagram Stories state, “We came to this decision amicably and with gratitude for the same time we spent together.”

Chance The Voice Coach Requests Privacy

Additionally, The Voice coach, aka, Chancelor Johnathan Bennett, and longtime friend and wife, Kirsten Corley, will still be linked after the divorce. While the couple’s decision to split doesn’t come easily, they will continue to co-parent even after their divorce. They say, “God has blessed us with two beautiful daughters who we will continue to raise together.” Both Chance and Kirsten request space for them to process upcoming challenges with their daughters: Kensli, 7, and Marli, 4. Further asking fans to give them “privacy and respect as we navigate this transition.”

Chance Knew Their Marriage Was His Destiny

Although the marriage between The Voice coach and musician, Chance The Rapper, is ending, he has many good memories. Previously, Chance discusses meeting Kirsten Corley when they were kids. Correspondingly, he remembers he was just 9 years old. Specifically, the duo met in 2003 while attending one of his mom’s real estate work parties. Furthermore, he tweeted in March 2019 some of his fond memories. First, he recalls, “locking eyes with the prettiest girl I ever seen in my almost-a-decade of life on earth.” She was performing a Destiny’s Child song with her friends as entertainment for the party.

But Chance also says, “I really shouldn’t even say locked eyes cause really, I was just staring at her; as she and her girls were conquering this choreography and mastering the art of lip-synching in a way even the most professional performers have yet to accomplish.” Good luck to both Chance the Rapper and Kirsten Corley as they hold on to the good times and continue forward.

Tune In For The Voice

Catch Chance the Rapper on The Voice as he continues with his career while they work through the divorce. He rejoined the show saying, “I really love doing the show for a lot of reasons, and I think one of them is just the creative outlet that you get in collaborating with Artists, on re-imagining songs with The Voice band, which is one of the greatest bands and always has the greatest players on TV.” Notably, from April 1 to April 29, The Voice Season 25 will only air once a week. It is on Mondays at 8/7c with the Knockouts and then the Playoffs. Then, the Live Shows will begin on May 6. At that point, Season 25 will air twice a week again, on Mondays and Tuesdays at 8/7c on NBC.

One judge is out for good on ‘The Voice’ — and the reason sounds messy: ‘She was the worst…’

Judges may come and go, but ‘The Voice’ shall continue. Over the last 27 seasons, the singing competition has welcomed many new and returning celebrity coaches, including pop icon Camila Cabello.

The ‘Havana’ hitmaker joined Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani, and John Legend as a first-time coach in season 22.

She brought a new wave of cheerfulness and spontaneity with her amazing sense of humor and presence of mind. Her banter, especially with Shelton, was highly appreciated by the fans. However, it’s been a while since she appeared on the show, and the fans believe it will remain that way.

‘The Voice’ coaches tend to do more than one season, and some even sign for a multiple-season deal. But Cabello is certainly an exception, as fans claim she may never return. “I hope Camilla comes back,” the Reddit channel for ‘The Voice’ wrote, prompting discussion. “I doubt that I think there was a falling out behind the scenes between her and the voice because she no longer follows the voice on Instagram, the only coach to ever do so,” one Reddit user replied. Another internet user pointed out that the ‘My Oh My’ singer never spoke about the show since appearing on a season. “I think Ariana has more of a chance of coming back than (sic) Camilla,” another fan claimed.

One social media user alleged that Cabello would “never” return to ‘The Voice.’ “My source at the voice said Camila is never coming back. He wouldn’t tell me why, but all he said was that she was the worst coach they ever had,” the same user added. “I’m not sure what exactly happened, but I am guessing behind-the-scenes stuff? I really like her and liked her on the show, so it’s a bummer,” the fan added. Cabello’s season welcomed some amazing and young talents, and many of them chose her as their mentor. Although the team she led was arguably one of the strongest, she couldn’t win the title.

Blake Shelton’s team was considered weak compared to other seasons, but he ended up winning with wildcard contestant, Bryce Leatherwood.

The latter’s Country music flair and overall swag made America fall in love with him. Leatherwood was the ninth and final winner from team Shelton until his retirement.

The legendary Country singer stepped down as a coach after season 23 to spend more quality time with his family. He tied the knot to fellow coach, Gwen Stefani, in 2021 and became stepdad to her three sons: Kingston, Zuma, and Apollo.

‘The Voice 28’ Blind Auditions heat up with Carson Daly’s surprise callback

‘The Voice’: Ryan Mitchell in “Blind Auditions Part 2”
https://www.goldderby.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=1206334612&action=edit

The Voice Season 28 continued on Sept. 23 with Blind Auditions from musical acts looking for their big break in the recording industry. In a new twist unveiled on the Sept. 22 “Blind Auditions Premiere,” host Carson Daly activated his one-use “Carson Callback,” allowing him to offer alt-rock artist Ryan Mitchell a chance at auditioning again with a new song after failing to get a chair turn from any of the coaches. Ryan and five other artists competed Monday night hoping to catch the ears of coaches Michael Bublé, Reba McEntire, Niall Horan, and Snoop Dogg.

In this first round, the coaches will have their backs turned to the auditioning artists. If they like what they’re hearing and are interested in working with the performers, the would-be coaches can press their button. If multiple coaches turn their chair, the artist chooses which team to join. This season, each coach has one block to keep another coach from claiming an artist. By the end of the round, each coach will have hand-picked 12 artists to join their team.

Read on for our The Voice 28 recap of the “Blind Auditions, Part 2” performances which aired Tuesday, Sept. 23 at 8 pm ET/PT on NBC.

The Voice Coaches Reveal Their Gifts (and Bribes!) for Season 28 Contestants

Season 28 of The Voice is officially underway, and the competition is fiercer—and funnier—than ever. While the coaches are known for their musical expertise and persuasive pitches, this season they’re pulling out all the stops to win over contestants during the Blind Auditions. From heartfelt gifts to cheeky bribes, the red chairs have never been more entertaining.

🎁 Michael Bublé: Charm and Champagne

Reigning champion Michael Bublé is back and aiming for a third consecutive win. His strategy? Sophistication. Contestants who join Team Bublé might find themselves gifted with personalized bottles of champagne, handwritten notes, and even impromptu serenades. “I want them to feel like they’re joining a family,” he said. “A very classy, slightly sparkly family.”

🍀 Niall Horan: Irish Wit and Lucky Socks

Niall Horan, still undefeated from Seasons 23 and 24, is leaning into his roots. This season, he’s offering contestants “lucky Irish socks” and backstage jam sessions. “It’s not bribery,” he joked. “It’s cultural enrichment—with a side of superstition.” His laid-back charm and musical versatility continue to make him a fan favorite.

🎸 Reba McEntire: Southern Hospitality and Homemade Treats

Reba McEntire is bringing the warmth of country living to the stage. Her gifts include homemade cookies, signed cowboy hats, and the promise of mentorship steeped in decades of industry wisdom. “I don’t need gimmicks,” she said. “But if a little sugar helps sweeten the deal, I’m all for it.”

🕶️ Snoop Dogg: Swag Bags and Chill Vibes

Snoop Dogg is back for his second season—and he’s not holding back. Contestants who choose Team Snoop might receive custom swag bags filled with branded gear, headphones, and even his signature sunglasses. “I want my team to feel fresh, fly, and focused,” he said. “And maybe a little spoiled.”

🎤 Carson Daly’s “Callback” Twist

Even host Carson Daly is getting in on the action this season. With the new “Carson Callback” rule, he can give overlooked contestants a second chance to audition. While he’s not offering gifts, his surprise saves are already changing the game—and adding a new layer of drama to the auditions.

As the season unfolds, fans can expect more playful banter, unexpected alliances, and plenty of backstage bonding. Whether it’s champagne, cookies, or lucky socks, one thing’s clear: the coaches are pulling out all the stops to build the best team—and win the crown.

Ray Romano’s Biggest Supporter: Who Is His Wife, Anna Romano?

Ray Romano may be best known for making millions laugh on Everybody Loves Raymond, but behind the scenes, one person has been his steady anchor through fame, family, and life’s unpredictable twists—his wife, Anna Romano.

🎬 From Behind the Camera to Center Stage

Anna Romano isn’t just the woman beside Ray; she’s a creative force in her own right. Before Ray’s rise to sitcom superstardom, Anna worked as a cinematographer and camera operator, including on projects like When the Time Comes and Because She’s Worth It. Her eye for storytelling and visual detail gave her a unique perspective on the entertainment world—one that complemented Ray’s comedic genius.

They met while working at a bank in the 1980s, long before Hollywood came calling. Their relationship blossomed through shared humor, grounded values, and mutual support. They married in 1987 and have four children together: Alexandra, Gregory, Matthew, and Joseph.

💞 A Love That’s Weathered Fame

Ray has often credited Anna with keeping him grounded. In interviews, he’s joked that she’s the “real star” of the family, and that her no-nonsense attitude helps him stay humble. While Ray’s career soared with Emmy wins and Netflix specials, Anna remained his sounding board—offering honest feedback, emotional support, and the occasional reality check.

Their marriage hasn’t been without challenges. In 2010, Anna was diagnosed with breast cancer. Ray publicly shared their journey, emphasizing how her strength and resilience inspired him. Thankfully, Anna recovered, and the experience deepened their bond.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family First

Despite their Hollywood ties, the Romanos have always prioritized family. Ray and Anna have kept their children largely out of the spotlight, choosing a quieter, more private life. Their parenting style reflects the same warmth and humor that Ray brings to his roles—balanced with Anna’s grounded wisdom.

🌟 The Woman Behind the Laughs

Anna Romano may not seek the spotlight, but her influence on Ray’s life and career is undeniable. She’s the quiet strength behind the scenes, the partner who’s seen it all—from open mic nights to red carpet premieres. In a world where celebrity marriages often falter, theirs stands as a testament to love, loyalty, and laughter.

As Ray continues to evolve as an actor, writer, and comedian, one thing remains constant: Anna Romano is his biggest supporter—and perhaps the reason Everybody Loves Raymond felt so real in the first place.
