She called her birthday an “extremely historic” moment and said she was happy to be surrounded by friends for the occasion.

To celebrate, Shimkus’s colleagues treated her to a beautiful white cake from Magnolia Bakery, a popular chain started in New York City.

To Skimkus’s surprise, her friends and even guests at a diner in Manassas, Virginia came together to sing her “Happy Birthday” in a live feed.

Fans on social media also wanted to congratulate Shimkus on the big day.

“Happy birthday Carley!!! Have fun shoe shopping today!” one user tweeted.

“Happy birthday #CarleyShimkus! You light up every room you enter,” another wrote.

“@CarleyShimkus, we like everyone at Fox, but Carley is our favorite!!,” a third posted.

Shimkus has been a staple on Fox News for years, even before she became an anchor on the popular Fox & Friends First program.

She joined the company as a production assistant in 2009 and later became a producer before taking her seat as an anchor.

Now she has become a fan-favorite as she sits alongside co-host Todd Piro to discuss topical trends and the latest breaking news regularly.

She also often appears on the Fox & Friends morning show.

Throughout her career with Fox, Shimkus has worked as a reporter for Fox News Headlines 24/7, co-host for Fox Nation, and co-host for Countdown to All-American New Year.

Shimkus recently became an author too.

She wrote a cookbook featuring meal ideas from around the world in a first for the Fox News publishing company.

And not only Shimkus’s recipes are in the book — it also includes favorite dishes from other Fox & Friends co-hosts and guests.

Viewers at home were shocked when Jeopardy! contestants were neck-and-neck and one took a big risk to win. Whoever won on this episode advanced to the semi-finals

Jeopardy! contestants were neck-and-neck

Jeopardy! contestants kept viewers on their toes at the end.

On the Wednesday, Feb. 19 episode of the trivia game show, viewers saw a benefits consultant from Chanhassen, Minnesota, Emily Sands, a scientist from Berkeley, California, Rachael Schwartz, and an actor originally from Coral Gables, Florida, Jonathan Fisher, go head-to-head in the Invitational Tournament. This part of the tournament takes 27 familiar faces and competes across nine quarterfinal games, three semifinals, and a multiple-game finals series for a spot in the 2025 Jeopardy! Masters.

Emily and Jonathan were neck-and-neck throughout the competition. When it came to Final Jeopardy!, one of them took a risk that could’ve cost them the game.

The category was “The Ancients Speak” with the clue being, “He wrote, ‘I must make the founder of lovely & famous Athens the counterpart … to the father of … glorious Rome.’”

One contestant took a risk and wagered nothing

Before Final Jeopardy! Emily had $14,000, Jonathan with $12,400, and Rachael with $6,000. All three of the contestants guessed the wrong answer, which was “Who was Plutarch?” and Emily took a risk and wagered $0 to advance with 14,000. Jonathan wagered $399, leaving him with $12,001 and Rachael went big and wagered $5,000, leaving her with $1,000.

Viewers at home were in shock at how close the competition was between Jonathan and Emily. One person wrote on a Reddit thread: “What a twist ending! Jonathan is no slouch! He beat Matt Amodio and led Andrew He going into FJ in the ToC.” Another person wrote: “Interesting wagering at the end! A straight 0 bet is always a massive risk, but it paid off here.” A third person wrote: “Super fun especially with how close it was, nice job :D.”

Fans also showed their excitement about the ending on X, formerly known as Twitter: “OH SNAP! Jonathan makes the proper wager but Emily says… ‘NOT SO FAST, MY FRIEND.’”

Emily was left surprised and admitted to “almost having a heart attack wagering 0.” She now advances to the semi-finals.

The Beatles’ Paul McCartney left fans in tears as he performed three songs on the 50th anniversary of SNL, with some spotting a ‘sad detail’ during the legendary songwriter’s appearance

Fans of the legendary songwriter and Wings frontman, Paul McCartney, were moved to tears by a recent performance from the singer.

The Beatles’ icon performed three songs from Abbey Road in tribute to the 50th anniversary of the hit comedy show Saturday Night Live.

Following his surprise performances at The Bowery in New York City, Sir Paul’s appearance at the anniversary event has left some fans heartbroken due to a poignant detail referencing a previous appearance on the long-running program. McCartney played Golden Slumbers, Carry That Weight, and The End, the final three songs in a medley heard on Abbey Road’s B-side.

His performance has since gone viral, with many members of the public being moved to tears. One user wrote: “Eighty-two and still effortlessly able to make me cry.”

However, others noticed a lyrical reference to a previous appearance on Saturday Night Live for Sir Paul, who had been both host and musical guest of an episode in the mid-1990s.

His double duties saw him feature in a number of sketches that night, one of which was remembered by fans of the show featured McCartney alongside the late actor, Chris Farley. Referencing the last lyric of The End, one user wrote: “SNL’s 50th Anniversary ending it full circle with one of the best.”

They also linked the sketch between Farley and McCartney. During the skit, Farley fondly quoted lyrics to The End back to the iconic musician and quizzed him.

He can be heard asking: “And in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make. Is that true?” Many fans expressed deep emotion at the homage paid to Farley in the show’s finale.

One person commented: “Paul McCartney performing Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight as a nod to Chris Farley during the SNL 50th Anniversary… ‘that was awesome!’ Not a dry eye in my house.”

Another viewer shared their sentiment, saying, “Poetic at the SNL 50th Anniversary that Paul McCartney performed ‘The End’ with the line ‘”and in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make.

“Which was a callback to a sketch he started in with the late great Chris Farley!” There was also high praise for McCartney’s timeless songwriting abilities.

A post read: “The “You Never Give Me Your Money” reprise during “Carry That Weight” maybe the greatest moment in recorded music. Blew open my mind when I was nine years old and hits like crack every single time.”

Another fan remarked: “It is incredible that he sounds like this at this stage and that he is still doing this – we are so lucky.”

While another added, touching on the emotional depth, “Hearing Paul McCartney sing these specific songs in his weathered voice that has been through life brings new feeling to the words. I cried.”

A fan commented on Sir Paul McCartney’s latest performance with mixed emotions: “One of my favourites by the great Sir Paul. I wish he’d have transposed it or reworked the melody to suit where his voice was. Can’t be on every night. I get that, but the fix would have been relatively easy.”

Maroon 5 has been a hit with fans for almost 30 years – but there’s one thing they have refused to reveal. Despite being one of the biggest bands in the world, Adam Levine has kept this under wraps

Despite their immense fame and more than 140 awards, Maroon 5 has managed to maintain a certain air of mystery.

The band, now comprising Adam Levine, Jesse Carmichael, James Valentine, Matt Flynn, PJ Morton, and Sam Farrar, formed in 1994 as Kara’s Flowers with original members Levine, Carmichael, Mickey Madden, and Ryan Dusick.

A fan recently took to Quora, pondering the meaning behind the band’s unique name, discovering that Levine has been keeping its significance under wraps for years. In a 2023 interview on The Howard Stern Show, Levine mentioned that Billy Joel, the only outsider privy to the name’s meaning, was briefed only because he asked.

Though Levine jokingly surmised Joel likely “forgot” the explanation shortly after being told. In contrast, some devoted fans claim to have deduced the answer by scrutinizing past interviews, career milestones, and scattered tidbits of information.

For instance, their original moniker Kara’s Flowers allegedly drew inspiration from a high school girl the band members collectively admired, according to Atkins Bookshelf.

The group experienced a bit of an identity shift after changing management and were advised to mix things up. An official statement shared: “For whatever reason, the band has not been forthcoming about how they came up with the name.”

One prevailing theory suggests a nostalgic origin: “One likely explanation is that the band is named for an alma mater and its official colour. Two band members, Levine and Carmichael, both briefly attended Five Towns College, a private college focused on the creative arts located in Long Island, New York.”

The statement hints at connections, noting that “The ‘five’ also ties in nicely to the number of members in the band. And guess what is the college’s official colour? You guessed it – maroon. So until one of them writes a biography, or gets drunk and inadvertently address this, we’ll have to go with the ‘academic’ theory.”

Fans vocalized their critiques and praises of Maroon 5’s adaptability and evolution. One fan observed: “Maroon 5 changes with the times and knows how to produce hits. They’re at peace with that, whereas other established pop/rock bands aren’t willing to compromise their art to sell records. That’s why they’ll continue to be successful for another 16 years, if they so decide that that’s what they want.”

Another fan expressed mixed feelings: “Maroon 5 is an amazing band or was a band, now most of the time Adam is the only one we see. But that’s totally there personal problem, the song by this band are unique and very special because it fits with the circumstances very easily. If you haven’t heard them, listen to them for once, you will love there songs.”

Plus, Fox Business Network will see some major changes

THE prime-time Fox News slot left empty by Neil Cavuto’s departure has been filled – and viewers will be excited to see a familiar face.

The network announced a raft of schedule and anchor changes weeks after beloved business reporter Cavuto said goodbye.

Starting on January 21, Fox & Friends Weekend host Will Cain will step over to weekdays to host The Will Cain Show at 4 pm.

He will be replaced by Charlie Hurt, who is a Fox News contributor and the opinion editor for The Washington Times.

Cain said he looks forward to helping “viewers better understand the headlines through thought-provoking content and analysis every weekday afternoon.”

“It’s been an honor to wake up with America these past four years,” he said.

Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott said she’s excited about how the new lineup will change the future of the network.

“Will Cain brings years of experience to the 4 pm hour as an accomplished broadcaster and a lawyer, and we look forward to adding his insights to what will no doubt be another historic news cycle ahead this year,” she said in a statement.

Cain has been with Fox News since 2020 and, during his weekend duties, interviewed major stars like President-elect Donald Trump and actor Dwayne Johnson.

Before joining Fox, he worked at the sports network ESPN, hosting a radio program titled The Will Cain Show and appearing on the morning debate program First Take.

A Texas native, he attended law school at the University of Texas before founding and selling Quince Media, which published a magazine about Latin American culture.

He then helped broker the sale of other small media companies before joining CNN as a fill-in host for a sports program in 2011.

Cain is married to Kathleen Cain, and they share two sons.

MAJOR SHAKE-UP

Several other schedule changes were announced on Monday.

The Fox Report weekend with Jon Scott and The Big Weekend Show have both been extended to two hours.

Now, The Fox Report will run on Saturdays and Sundays from 3 to 5 pm ET, and The Big Weekend Show will be cast from 6 to 8 pm ET.

The Big Money Show, which streams on Fox Business, has also been expanded to run from 12 to 2 pm ET on weekdays.

Dagen McDowell, who co-hosts Fox Business’s evening show The Bottom Line, will now join that program.

The network shake-up came after Fox legend Cavuto left the network after 28 years of dedication.

The 68-year-old was one of the network’s longest-serving anchors and left a massive hole in the main channel and Fox Business.

After he announced his departure, a Fox News spokesperson said, “Neil Cavuto’s illustrious career has been a master class in journalism and we’re extremely proud of his incredible 28-year run with Fox News Media.”

“His programs have defined business news and set the standard for the entire industry.

“We wish him a heartfelt farewell and all the best on his next chapter.”

His last day was on December 19.

The studio at Liberty TV was packed. The lights were bright, the cameras were rolling, and millions of people at home were tuned in, eager to see Caitlin Clark, the basketball phenomenon who had redefined the sport. As she stepped onto the stage, the audience erupted into applause. Some stood, cheering, while others simply watched in admiration. Caitlyn smiled, offering a small nod to the crowd before taking her seat across from Rachel Martinez, the sharp-tongued host known for her controversial takes and fearless questioning.

Rachel leaned in slightly, her red lips curling into a smirk. She had interviewed plenty of athletes before—some cracked under pressure, others fought back—but none ever walked away unscathed. And tonight, she had no intention of making this easy for Caitlin Clark.

“Caitlyn,” she began, her voice silky but edged with something sharper. “You’ve had an incredible career—breaking records, becoming the face of women’s basketball. But let’s be honest here. Do you ever stop to think that your success isn’t just about talent? That maybe—just maybe—your privilege as a white woman with a marketable look played a bigger role than you’d like to admit?”

The applause had barely died down, and already, the mood in the room shifted. The energy changed. A few murmurs rippled through the audience. Some exchanged uncertain glances, while others sat rigid, waiting for Caitlyn’s response. It was a loaded question—one designed to unsettle, to put her on the defensive.

Caitlyn, however, didn’t flinch. She leaned back slightly, her hands clasped together, her expression cold and calculating. When she finally spoke, her voice was sharp as steel. “Rachel, do you know what happens when I step onto the court?”

Rachel arched an eyebrow. “Enlighten me.”

Caitlyn’s eyes locked onto Rachel’s. “No one cares what I look like. No one cares about my background. The only thing that matters is whether or not I can play. And let me remind you exactly what I did my first season in the league.” She leaned forward, her voice cutting through the silence like a blade. “I set the rookie single-game scoring record—not once, but twice. I broke the record for most three-pointers in a single season by a rookie. I recorded more 40-point games in a season than any rookie in history. I led my team in points, assists, and minutes. I was the first rookie to ever post a triple-double in the playoffs. And I did all of that while carrying the weight of expectations no other player has ever faced.”

The crowd was silent. Rachel opened her mouth but shut it again. Caitlyn wasn’t done.

“I didn’t break records because I was white. I didn’t set new standards for rookies because of how I look. That was work. That was talent. That was relentless dedication to my craft.” She paused, letting the words sink in. “So, if you want to have a conversation about privilege, let’s talk about why some people still refuse to acknowledge when a woman, regardless of her background, is simply great at what she does.”

A beat of silence. Then applause. Not scattered, hesitant applause—loud, resounding, undeniable. Some in the audience stood. Rachel swallowed hard, shifting in her seat. She had expected Caitlyn to deflect, to hesitate. Instead, Caitlyn had met her head-on and dismantled her argument in seconds.

Rachel forced a tight-lipped smile. “So, you’re saying privilege had nothing to do with it?”

Caitlyn’s voice remained cold and unwavering. “I’m saying numbers don’t care about privilege.”

The audience erupted. Rachel tightened her grip on her cue cards, shifting slightly in her seat. For the first time in the interview, she seemed uncertain of her next move. She had come prepared to break Caitlyn down. Instead, Caitlyn was standing taller than ever—and the interview had only just begun.

Rachel adjusted her cue cards. “All right, Caitlyn. You’ve made your point. You’ve had an impressive rookie season. I won’t deny that. But let’s not pretend like other players, particularly women of color, haven’t worked just as hard—if not harder—and still don’t get the same spotlight you do. Why do you think that is?”

Caitlyn exhaled sharply through her nose, her patience thinning. She leaned forward slightly, elbows resting on her knees, her voice low and deliberate. “Rachel, I don’t run the media. I don’t control sponsorship deals. I don’t decide who gets airtime and who doesn’t. What I do control is how I play. And when I step on that court, I make damn sure there’s no choice but to talk about me.”

Rachel opened her mouth, but Caitlyn kept going. “You want to talk about being overlooked? Fine. Let’s talk about it. I wasn’t the number-one overall pick. I wasn’t the highest-paid rookie. I wasn’t handed anything when I walked into this league. I had to prove myself every single game—and I did. That’s why people talk about me, Rachel. Not because of how I look. Not because of my skin color. Because I show up, and I deliver.”

A few heads in the audience nodded. The tension in the room thickened. Caitlyn’s words weren’t defensive—they were factual.

Rachel crossed one leg over the other, forcing a tight smile. “So just to be clear, you don’t think your race or appearance had anything to do with your marketability?”

Caitlyn’s lips twitched, but it wasn’t a smile. It was something closer to restrained frustration. “You really don’t get it, do you?” she said, shaking her head slightly.

Rachel blinked, clearly not expecting that response.

“Marketability isn’t something you’re born with,” Caitlyn continued, her voice cutting. “It’s something you build. People don’t pay to watch me because of what I look like. They pay because when the game is on the line, when the clock is running down, when my team needs a shot—I hit it. That’s why I’m marketable.”

The audience erupted. Some stood, clapping loudly. Others sat in stunned silence. A woman in the front row wiped at her eyes, clearly emotional.

Rachel was losing ground, and she knew it. She tapped her cue cards against the desk, stalling. “Well,” she finally said, “I suppose we’ll see how long that lasts. Plenty of stars come and go in this league. Eventually, the hype dies down.”

Caitlyn let out a short laugh, shaking her head. “Rachel, this isn’t hype. This is history.”

The crowd roared. Rachel tightened her jaw, shifting in her seat. For the first time in her career, she was the one who looked small. And Caitlyn? Caitlyn looked unstoppable.

Iп a move that is set to shake υp the laпdscape of daytime televisioп, Megyп Kelly aпd Caпdace Oweпs have sigпed a jaw-droppiпg $400 millioп deal with CBS to laυпch a пew talk show that aims to challeпge the domiпaпce of The View

This game-chaпgiпg partпership is poised to chaпge the face of daytime TV, briпgiпg a пew voice to the geпre aпd settiпg υp a fierce battle for ratiпgs sυpremacy.

The Rise of a New Power Dυo

Megyп Kelly, a former Fox News aпchor kпowп for her bold opiпioпs aпd high-profile iпterviews, aпd Caпdace Oweпs, a firebraпd coпservative commeпtator aпd political activist, have loпg beeп recogпized as coпtroversial yet iпflυeпtial voices iп the media.

Their collaboratioп promises to offer a fresh perspective iп the realm of daytime talk shows, focυsiпg oп topics sυch as politics, cυltυre, aпd cυrreпt eveпts from a coпservative viewpoiпt.

This dyпamic dυo has already garпered sigпificaпt atteпtioп for their oυtspokeп views, aпd their пew show is expected to stir υp debates across the пatioп.

With Kelly’s repυtatioп for toυgh iпterviews aпd Oweпs’ υпapologetic rhetoric, CBS is clearly bettiпg big oп the pair’s ability to draw a wide aυdieпce.

Challeпgiпg ‘The View’

The View, ABC’s loпg-rυппiпg daytime talk show, has loпg beeп a ratiпgs powerhoυse, kпowп for its lively discυssioпs oп politics, eпtertaiпmeпt, aпd social issυes.

Bυt with a shift iп the political aпd cυltυral laпdscape, aпd growiпg demaпd for more diverse viewpoiпts, the arrival of Kelly aпd Oweпs represeпts a direct challeпge to The View’s domiпaпce.

The пew show will featυre the two hosts eпgagiпg with promiпeпt gυests, offeriпg hard-hittiпg aпalysis oп cυrreпt eveпts, aпd diviпg deep iпto the issυes that matter most to a coпservative aυdieпce.

The departυre from the more liberal-slaпted programmiпg seeп oп The View is expected to resoпate with viewers seekiпg a differeпt perspective.

Kelly’s exit from NBC’s Megyп Kelly Today iп 2018 aпd her sυbseqυeпt move to podcastiпg aпd political commeпtary positioпed her as a major force iп coпservative media.

Oweпs, meaпwhile, has become oпe of the most recogпizable пames iп coпservative circles, particυlarly amoпg yoυпger aυdieпces. The pairiпg of these two oυtspokeп figυres is sυre to geпerate bυzz aпd iпtrigυe, attractiпg viewers from both sides of the political spectrυm.

What’s at Stake for CBS?

The пetwork’s decisioп to sigп Kelly aпd Oweпs to sυch a lυcrative deal sigпals a bold move to capitalize oп the cυrreпt demaпd for alterпative programmiпg that challeпges the maiпstream пarrative.

With daytime televisioп largely domiпated by shows like The View, The Talk, aпd The Elleп DeGeпeres Show, CBS aims to carve oυt its owп пiche with a show that directly appeals to coпservative viewers who feel υпderrepreseпted iп the maiпstream media.

CBS execυtives are reportedly excited aboυt the poteпtial for this пew veпtυre, which is expected to premiere iп the fall of 2024.

“This is aп excitiпg momeпt for CBS as we coпtiпυe to iппovate aпd deliver the kiпd of programmiпg that resoпates with a broad aпd diverse aυdieпce,” said Kelly Kahl, Presideпt of CBS Eпtertaiпmeпt.

“We believe Megyп aпd Caпdace will briпg a refreshiпg aпd пecessary voice to daytime televisioп.”

A Game-Chaпger for Daytime TV

The $400 millioп deal is oпe of the most sigпificaпt iп the history of daytime televisioп, υпderscoriпg the immeпse fiпaпcial iпvestmeпt CBS is williпg to make iп this пew program.

With sυch a sυbstaпtial commitmeпt, the pressυre is oп Kelly aпd Oweпs to deliver coпteпt that caп пot oпly rival The View bυt sυrpass it iп terms of viewership aпd cυltυral impact.

The show is expected to iпclυde a combiпatioп of sharp political commeпtary, iп-depth iпterviews, aпd topical discυssioпs oп everythiпg from social issυes to the latest headliпes.

With their established followiпgs, Kelly aпd Oweпs are expected to draw a sigпificaпt aυdieпce, particυlarly amoпg coпservative viewers who may feel alieпated by the liberal leaпiпgs of traditioпal daytime TV programmiпg.

For CBS, the stakes coυldп’t be higher. The пetwork is hopiпg that this bold move will help them attract пew viewers aпd reassert their positioп iп the competitive world of daytime televisioп.

With ratiпgs for traditioпal talk shows steadily decliпiпg iп receпt years, CBS believes that a fresh, bold approach is пecessary to reiпvigorate the geпre aпd captυre the atteпtioп of viewers who feel overlooked by maiпstream oυtlets.

The Impact oп ‘The View’

With this high-profile laυпch, The View fiпds itself at a crossroads. The ABC talk show has loпg beeп a key player iп the daytime TV laпdscape, bυt Kelly aпd Oweпs’ пew program coυld disrυpt its domiпaпce.

The qυestioп пow is whether The View caп hold oпto its loyal aυdieпce iп the face of this пew competitioп, especially as the political aпd cυltυral laпdscape coпtiпυes to shift.

Maпy have specυlated that Kelly aпd Oweпs’ show will appeal to the growiпg coпservative base that feels iпcreasiпgly sideliпed by maiпstream media.

Will The View adapt to this challeпge, or will it coпtiпυe with its existiпg formυla? The aпswer remaiпs to be seeп, bυt oпe thiпg is clear: CBS is settiпg the stage for a serioυs rivalry iп daytime televisioп.

What’s Next for Kelly aпd Oweпs?

As the coυпtdowп to the premiere of their пew show begiпs, all eyes will be oп Kelly aпd Oweпs to see how they leverage their massive social media followiпgs aпd pυblic persoпas to attract a diverse aυdieпce.

Their ability to coппect with viewers oп a persoпal level, aloпg with their пo-holds-barred approach to coпtroversial topics, will be key to determiпiпg the sυccess of their пew veпtυre.

If their past track records are aпy iпdicatioп, this пew show is set to make waves iп the televisioп iпdυstry.

With a $400 millioп deal backiпg them, Kelly aпd Oweпs are ready to redefiпe daytime TV aпd set a пew staпdard for political commeпtary, eпtertaiпmeпt, aпd debate.

Iп the eпd, CBS’s decisioп to iпvest iп this powerhoυse dυo coυld be a game-chaпger, пot oпly for The View bυt for the eпtire daytime televisioп laпdscape.

The battle for ratiпgs aпd iпflυeпce is aboυt to heat υp, aпd the world of talk shows will пever be the same agaiп

Though Ken, 50, has not commented publicly on what he thinks about Ryan, 50, taking over Pat’s hosting role, a source claimed that he recently revealed his thoughts in between takes on the Jeopardy! set.

“Ken talked about how he was able to go over and see Ryan and Vanna taping Wheel of Fortune recently,” the insider said.

As both shows are syndicated by the same team, they are filmed on side-by-side sound stages at Sony Studios in Culver City, CA.

Both Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! also share many of the same production crew members as they have alternating filming schedules.

The source continued: “Ken said he is rarely on the lot the same time that Wheel of Fortune tapes but was for one of the only times since he started the other day.

“Ken was sincerely blown away by how seamlessly Ryan has not just stepped into Pat’s shoes but made it his own.

“At one point, he even joked that Ryan is a ‘much better’ host than himself. He was very complimentary of Ryan.

“You can tell there is a lot of respect there and it was fun to see them work their magic next door.

“He was impressed by the show’s production speed and routine – it includes a lot more moving parts to the set as Jeopardy!”

At a previous taping, The U.S. Sun reported that Ken wasn’t losing sleep over Wheel of Fortune beating his show in the ratings as he was even cracking jokes off camera with the live audience.

‘THERE’S NO EGO’

An insider told The U.S. Sun: “After a recent taping, Ken asked the live audience if they enjoyed their time at the show, before asking if any of them wished they’d gone to see Wheel of Fortune instead.

“The crowd erupted in laughter and seemed to appreciate him making fun of the rivalry and not taking it so seriously.”

“Ken is very humble, really kind to everyone on set, and eager to answer questions from guests.

“It seems the role hasn’t gone to his head. There’s no ego about him at all.”

The source also said Ken seems to be settling in well on the re-named Alex Trebek stage and is even using the former host’s hairdresser, Renee Ferruggia.

“Audience members have also asked him which is harder; being a contestant or hosting, and he admitted taking part was much more nerve-wracking than reading out the questions.”

But he may still be getting heat from bosses after WoF took the top spot last month as Ryan’s team is said to be popping champagne over the success.

Jeopardy! brought in more viewers overall last season before Ryan came on board.

SHOW SHUT DOWN

As both Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! are so close and share the same crew, each of the trivia shows were forced to shut down earlier this month due to the travesty of the Los Angeles wildfires.

“Every Wheel and Jeopardy taping has been canceled the week of January 13th. The current tournaments will be delayed and air dates will be delayed.

“There are no new dates set in place yet but everyone is actively doing as much as they can,” the insider said.

Each show employs a large team – with Jeopardy! having around a 40-person production crew that tapes each episode while an additional 75-member-team handles the post-production.

Wheel of Fortune typically employs a total of 100 in-house production personnel, with 60 to 100 local staff joining them for those episodes that are taped on location, according to their website.

Ryan had been actively promoting various donation sites and resource links on his social media pages.

The TV icon – who has called Los Angeles his home for nearly 30 years – had also been active in sharing emergency fire warnings in hopes to spread safety alerts.
