The Voice fans were shocked in 2023 when Blake Shelton abruptly left the show. After being with the reality TV series since 2011 and for 23 consecutive seasons, the singer noted he needed a break and it was time to do something else. His wife, Gwen Stefani, would take his lead and leave in 2024, just before Season 25.
Still, is there a possibility he could make a comeback?

Blake Shelton may have retired his red chair on The Voice, but nearly a year later, he’s teasing a comeback – just not in the way you probably think.
After 23 seasons on the hit singing competition, Blake decided to focus on other aspects of his life instead, like being a stepdad to his wife Gwen Stefani’s three sons and going on tour.
But now that the dust has settled a bit, the 47-year-old country superstar has brought up a possible return to The Voice.
In a recent interview with Extra TV, the Hillbilly Bone crooner opened up about coming back to his big red chair, but not in the same capacity as The Voice viewers came to know him for 23 seasons.
“I don’t plan on ever, like, working at The Voice again,” Blake began.

Curiosity is bound to be piqued for a title like Evil Does Not Exist. Once you see the latest film from Ryusuke Hamaguchi, you further wonder what exactly the title of the film means, especially after the baffling ending that leaves you scratching your head. However, there are obvious metaphors and trickery, which should strike you once you start to think about it, and maybe after you re-watch the last five minutes a few times. It is a strange film nonetheless, which deals with much darker subject matter compared to his last two works, Drive My Car and Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy, both of which were released in 2021. One might find the complete tonal shift in the final act a bit too jarring, and that’s where Evil Does Not Exist is polarizing people. In this article, I’m going to take a swing at deconstructing the ending. Hopefully,...

Contestant Scott Menke solved the final Wheel of Fortune puzzle so impressively, it seemed like he had been preparing for this for years. Turns out, he had. Unbeknown to the vast majority of viewers, this wasn’t his first TV game show. On Friday’s episode of Wheel of Fortune, Menke entered the competition guns blazing. He solved both toss-ups, won the first round, and even guessed his bonus round correctly, working only with a few letters. Using a method that some would describe as reckless, Menke would often not spin the wheel but guess with whatever had already been revealed. Fellow contestants and audiences were amazed. Even the at-times-difficult-to-impress host Pat Sajak was impressed. “He’s been a good puzzle-solver, that’s for sure,” said Sajak right before the contestant’s final puzzle. After selecting the topic “phrase” and only being shown a fraction of the letters on the board,...

Wheel Of Fortune Contestant Gets Game Show Redemption
The fun thing about Jeopardy! is that there is always a chance to return. There is the Tournament of Champions and the Second Chance Tournament.

Paramount is currently in exclusive negotiations with Skydance on a potential merger, but there is another contender lurking — one coming from way out of left field.
The New York Times reported Thursday that Sony Pictures Entertainment is in talks with Apollo Global Management on teaming up for a potential joint bid to buy Paramount. There has not been an official offer on the table because of the formal exclusive negotiations, but this one threatens to be seismic. There is one degree of separation between the potential joint venture: Sony and the Apollo-backed Legendary Pictures already have a distribution deal.
When reached by IndieWire, Sony had no comment on the report. Same with Paramount, and Apollo did not immediately respond to our inquiry. We get it: we’re sort of speechless too.

A Bravo without Andy Cohen? It’s hard to imagine, but according to a recent report, the Watch What Happens Live host is considering leaving the network that he helped make famous. But is there any truth to the rumor that Cohen is preparing an exit?
Source claims Andy Cohen is considering leaving Bravo amid ‘fallout’ from scandals
Rumors that the creator of the Real Housewives franchise is getting ready to cut ties with Bravo surfaced in an April 18 report from In Touch.
“Negotiations for Cohen’s departure package are underway as he grapples with the fallout from mounting accusations by his stars,” an unnamed source told the tabloid.
Those accusations include a lawsuit filed in February by Leah McSweeney of The Real Housewives of New York City against Cohen and Bravo. McSweeney claims that she was harassed and discriminated against because of her mental health and alcohol use disorders.

A Wheel of Fortune contestant practically had the Bonus Round puzzle gift-wrapped for her on Thursday’s (April 18) episode but still managed to mess it up, costing her $40,000. The contestant in question was Manisha Grant, a home bakery owner from Lake Panasoffke, Florida, who’s been watching Wheel for 40 years. She faced off against Courtney Johnson, a mom of three daughters from Jacksonville, Florida, and Kyle Johnson, head coach of a high school volleyball program from Calumet City, Illinois. Grant’s decades of watching the long-running game show paid off, as she dominated the competition from the start. After the Mystery Round, she stood at $13,000, while her two opponents had $0 each.

The contestant in question was Brooke Smith, a young woman from Atlanta, Georgia, who told Sajak she’s recorded and watched every episode of Wheel for the past three or four years. She also described herself as an “avid reader,” reading between 50 to 100 books a year. Smith proved to have more than just book smarts as she took on Adam Williams from McKinney, Texas, and Samantha Hanna from St. Louis, Missouri, even though things didn’t start off too hot.

Wheel of Fortune viewers have become more and more perturbed with the show’s Bonus Rounds.
Big wins for Bonus Round contestants have become few and far between as of late, and many Wheel of Fortune viewers blame the show’s producers for poorly worded categories.
Such was the case during a recent episode of Wheel of Fortune in which a contestant named Laura got a chance to win big during her episode’s Bonus Round.
“Place” was Laura’s category, and after choosing her vowels and consonants, and being provided with the usual R, S, T, L, N, and E, she was left with a puzzle that seemed nearly impossible to solve.
After all was said and done in the letter-picking department, Laura’s puzzle read “_ R _ _ E L / _ _ L _ _ _ _.”
“Well, that’s all you’re gonna get,” host Pat Sajak told Laura before her 10-second timer began counting down.

Wheel of Fortune viewers were left stunned on Thursday night (April 11) when a contestant kept spinning the wheel despite being only two letters away from an easy puzzle solve. The contestant in question was Randy Rose, a married father of two from Clifton, New Jersey, who told Pat Sajak that his wife signed him up for the show. He explained how he was looking through his emails, saw the message about the Wheel audition, and was about to delete it until his wife stopped him and confessed that she’d put him forward for the show. Rose faced off against Cornita McQuitery, an Air Force cyberspace officer and commander at the 26th Network Operations Squadron from Montgomery, Alabama, and Kaeley George from Colorado Springs, Colorado, who said she was playing for her Nana. Things got off to a strong start for Rose, who tied with McQuitery on $6,000 each after the Mystery Round.

Pat Sajak couldn’t look a contestant in the eye on Wednesday’s (April 10) episode of Wheel of Fortune after a confusing puzzle cost a lovable mother of two $100,000.

Young walked over the competition on Wednesday’s game, amassing an episode-winning $19,350, plus a trip to the Aston Waikiki Beach Tower in Honolulu, Hawaii. This took Young to the Bonus Round, where she selected the “Place” category along with the additional letters “C, P, D, and O.” Unfortunately, not one of those letters was on the board. Young was faced with a tough two-word puzzle that read “_ R _ _ E L / _ _ L _ _ _ _.” “Oh my goodness,” she said, struggling to come up with a response. “There’s gotta be another vowel in there.” After the timer ran out,...

Larry Brown, Jr. was excited to make his Wheel of Fortune debut, but viewers at home were more concerned with something completely unrelated.
Larry, a Howard University alum who also goes by Lbj, noted on Instagram that he wanted to play Wheel of Fortune before the legendary longtime host, Pat Sajak, retires later this year.
Larry’s wish came true, and during Wheel of Fortune’s April 9 episode, Larry went head-to-head against his opponents, Louise Henry and Kalesha Knight.
Although Larry, a semi-pro tap dancer from Bowie, Maryland, brought an infectious energy with him on stage, viewers couldn’t help but focus on another attribute of his.
During Larry’s segment, he must have been hiding that it was stifling hot in the studio because he sweated profusely throughout the episode as he made his national television debut.

Larry’s wish came true, and during Wheel of Fortune’s April 9 episode, Larry went head-to-head against his opponents, Louise Henry and Kalesha Knight.
Although Larry, a semi-pro tap dancer from Bowie, Maryland, brought an infectious energy with him on stage, viewers couldn’t help but focus on another attribute of his.
During Larry’s segment, he must have been hiding that it was stifling hot in the studio because he sweated profusely throughout the episode as he made his national television debut.
