In 2005, Carrie Underwood’s life changed forever when she won American Idol. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of that win, she is taking it back to where it all began. According to Deadline, she is expected to be announced as the new judge on American Idol.
Katy Perry left the singing competition at the end of last season to focus on her music career. Thus leaving an empty chair at the judges’ table.
Several names were thrown around as replacements, including Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, P!nk, and Meghan Trainor. But they opted to go with American Idol’s Top Selling artist.
So, she is the logical choice, and she will bring her massive fanbase with her.
Personally, I find her as exciting as watching paint dry. Hopefully, Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie will get her to let loose.
Does her joining AI make you want to watch? Who do you wish they hired instead?
Colin Jost got a new job. He will be hosting the Jeopardy spinoff Pop Culture Jeopardy on Prime Video.
Mr. Scarlett Johansson said, “What is: I’m excited.”
Pop Culture Jeopardy! is a brand-new twist on the classic quiz show’s “answer-and-question” format that combines the academic rigor of Jeopardy! with the excitement and unpredictability of pop culture. Contestants, playing in teams of three, will need to be experts in categories from Alternative Rock to The Avengers; Broadway to MMA; Gen Z to Zendaya as they compete in a tournament-style event for the grand prize and ultimate bragging rights.
I have a feeling that between this news and him working as an Olympics correspondent for NBC, his days at Saturday Night Live are numbered. I wouldn’t even be surprised if he didn’t return this season. Although, he might stay for one last season so he could say he spent 20 years working on the sketch comedy show.
The ’70s created some of the happiest and the saddest music of the last century. Two of the musicians who sang some of those happiest tunes are Donny Osmond and Henry Wayne Casey with his band, KC and the Sunshine Band.
However, we never saw them in their Boogie Shoes on the stage. Yesterday, that all changed when the Disco singer went to see Osmond perform in Hollywood, Florida and went backstage.
While he was there, someone handed them a mic, and they did a duet to Boogie Shoes.
Now that we have seen these two powerhouses together, I hope they will consider hitting the road as Donny and Casey. Because that’s the way I like it. I mean, who doesn’t have Puppy Love for the performers?
Maya Rudolph won an Emmy for playing Vice President Kamala Harris. And now, many of us are wishing and hoping that the VP will win the Presidential election in November.
But before we get to November 5th, there are going to be several Saturday Night Live episodes, so Lorne Michaels has asked Rudolph to reprise her role. And she said yes!
However, her acceptance of the role came at a price. According to Deadline, production has been halted on the third season of the actress’ heartfelt hilarious sitcom Loot on Apple TV+.
I get why she chose to do it. But I think it is fucked up that they had to halt production, which was slated to start in August, on the show because she committed to do so that she could do SNL. Hollywood is hurting due to the strikes. So, the people who work on the show probably depended on that money, and now they are not going to get it until at least late November, if not 2025. I hope she donates her paycheck to them because every little helps.
