Cue the drumroll, we have our first pairing for Dancing With the Stars season 35. Longtime Jimmy Kimmel Live sidekick Guillermo Rodriguez will have the great fortune to dance with season 34 champion Witney Carson on the upcoming 35th season.
Carson revealed the casting on a segment of Monday’s Good Morning America — where the rest of the cast of celebrity contestants will be unveiled on Sept. 2.
Rodriguez was the last of four contestants to be announced ahead of the upcoming season. The late-night mainstay joins The Traitors season 4 finalist Maura Higgins, Summer House breakout star Ciara Miller, and Savannah Bananas second baseman Jackson Olson in the running for the Len Goodman Mirrorball trophy.
Rodriguez originally worked as a parking lot security guard for Jimmy Kimmel Live before rising through the ranks to find himself planted permanently on the couch next to host Jimmy Kimmel, where he’s remained for 23 years. Carson, meanwhile, competed on So You Think You Can Dance season 9 before joining DWTS as a member of the troupe in season 16. She was promoted to full pro status in season 18 and has since logged a stellar track record, winning season 19 with current cohost Alfonso Ribeiro and season 34 with Dancing With the Stars: The Next Pro host Robert Irwin and taking her partners to the finals an additional six times.
Carson also has another hotly anticipated dance gig on the horizon, before season 35 kicks off on Sept. 15. She is set to be the final visiting pro on the new spinoff, The Next Pro, which has seen the likes of Brandon Armstrong, Daniella Karagach, and Britt Stewart help coach a group of aspiring dance stars through trials to determine who among them is fit to join the anchor series as, well, the next pro.
On top of all that, Carson will be the first pro dancer on the series to enter an installment while pregnant.
Have you ever wondered how the Jeopardy! gameboard works or how the clues are picked every game? The show’s long-time game board operator, Michele Lee Hampton, talked to host Ken Jennings about her job.
“Hey everybody. This is Ken,” the host said in an Instagram video. “I’m here in kind of the bowels of Jeopardy! with Michele Lee Hampton, one of my coworkers, who has a very important job at Jeopardy! You’ve seen her work, but you don’t know it yet. Michele, what do you do here?”
“I actually operate the game board,” she replied. “I’ve got a computer system that looks exactly like the game board that you get to see out on the stage and at home. I do my best to keep up with the contestants nowadays.” She laughed.
Jennings asked Hampton how long she has been working the game board at Jeopardy!. She has been on the show for 38 years, and doing the game board for 32 of those years.
At the very end of the interview, Hampton revealed that her favorite button was the power-off button. Fans left comments about how they wanted to know more and how Hampton is a “legend” on the game show.
“WAIT!!! Why did it stop?? Keep interviewing her!!!! PLEASE!!! For the love of Jeopardy!, ask her more questions!!!!!” one fan said.
“Wait, this is so cool! Way to go, Michele!” another wrote.
“Legend,” former champion Paolo Pasco commented.
“Love the BTS stuff! I’ve been watching Jeopardy! since before the board had monitors and they had to physically flip the cards,” a fourth said.
“More behind the scenes of Jeopardy! So interesting,” another fan said.
“This is amazing! Love seeing more BTS of my favorite game show!” one last fan wrote.
For Keke Palmer, the microdrama isn’t just another digital format. It’s a way to make the kind of comedy she’s been trying to bring back to Hollywood on her own terms.
The multi-hyphenate entertainer has spent years building Lady Miss Jacqueline, the larger-than-life Southern belle she created for her 2016 digital sketch series “Southern Belle Insults,” into a character with a life beyond social media. Now, Palmer is using the bite-sized format to push the character into a more highly produced format, while giving herself a platform to showcase the character work she says traditional Hollywood has not always offered.
“Microdramas take what we love about over-the-top soap operas and deliver endless histrionic moments, and that is right up Lady Miss Jacqueline’s alley!” Palmer said in an email Q&A with TheWrap. “Lady Miss Jacqueline has gone through multiple husbands and hostile takeovers. She is a walking soap opera.”
Palmer expanded her digital series into an Audible original project, featuring voice acting from Sheryl Lee Ralph, Audra McDonald and Danielle Brooks, to name a few.
In promotion for her latest original “The Weddings of Lady Miss Jacqueline,” Palmer decided to create a three-part microseries “Southern Belle Insults: The Pre-Wedding Shenanigans of Lady Miss Jacqueline.”
As for the future of microdramas in Hollywood, Palmer said she sees a real opportunity for the short episodic format to lean into successful brand partnerships and proof of concept storytelling.
“The condensed format and shooting style allow for exciting storytelling possibilities without a long-term commitment, which I like,” Palmer said of the format’s turnaround time. “Also, the opportunity to launch and expand IP alongside promoting established properties within this space is only going to continue to grow, in my opinion.”
“Southern Belle Insults: The Pre-Wedding Shenanigans of Lady Miss Jacqueline” was produced in collaboration with Max Wyeth and Audible. The three-episode series was directed by Kristen Brancaccio, who directed Hoorae’s TikTok microdrama “Screen Time.”
