Normalization: “After … the profits, I decided I didn’t have to hide behind a wig anymore and I wanted to normalize what cancer recovery looked like,” Welchel said.
Welchel won $ 34,000 in her first game, where during her segment with Jennings, she revealed she was diagnosed with breast cancer in March 2021.
“I was diagnosed in March 2021 and one of the first things I did a few weeks after I was diagnosed was take Jeopardy! test, ‘said Welchel.
“And I finally got my audition the night before the operation in May,” she added in Wednesday’s episode.
Game One: Whelchel won $ 34,000 in her first game, where during her segment with Jennings, she revealed she was diagnosed with breast cancer in March 2021.

The late show Host Stephen Colbert was sure Chris Licht was the right man to work as a showrunner on his late-night CBS show when the couple met for a drink six years ago.
But Colbert said, “I wasn’t sure if I was going to like him, if we were going to be friends, because we’re all show folk here, and Chris isn’t.” I didn’t know if I would like him, but six years later I love you, Chris.
Colbert gave a brilliant farewell to his showrunner and possibly the man who helped turn his fortune up late into the night after Licht was appointed chairman and CEO of CNN Global, starting in May.
He joked that “he trained the next president of CNN.” “I believe that legally CNN now means the Colbert News Network. Apparently Chris is still under contract, so we’re going to have to do this as a baseball trade. If CNN takes Chris, I’ll take Wolf Blitzer’s beard, “he laughed.
The former host of Colbert’s report, who is behind NBC The evening show in the ratings, when Licht took office, he praised his humility.
“He arrived knowing what he didn’t know, which was something about comedy or show business, so he approached work with a level of humility that is rare among executives. But here’s the thing. There are bosses and then there are leaders. Your bosses tell you what to do. Leaders work as hard as you to do what needs to be done, and here’s what [Chris] I did. That’s why he won the respect of all of us here who live in the clown car, “he said. “We showed him what we really want to do, which is the show we are doing now, and he immediately started creating lines of communication, ribbons of responsibility and a respectable workplace that makes creative ambition possible at this speed. I am happy that CNN will benefit from all his wisdom.
Colbert pointed out that Licht had a “managerial” rather than a creative role – this is largely the responsibility of Tom Purcell, and said that the former head of the morning news “respects this line.”
But he added that Licht is particularly disgusted with a character on the show – the screaming Joe in the style of Kid Rock, American Dumbas, who Colbert and the writers really like, but Licht does not. This was supported by the assessments – it is known that Licht is a person who reviews the numbers minute by minute (something that I, as the person who covers the work late at night for Deadline, can confirm) and the team promised to leave him. Until tonight (see above), when he was taken out again to stand next to Licht, in tears of laughter.
Given that Licht was a “little ruler” who always said at staff parties, “Have a nice time, not a great time,” Colbert raised a commemorative beer for Chris Licht.
“We will miss all things for Chris… we will miss your fleece vests, your strange loyalty to the people of Untuckit. We will miss your stories about how many billionaires you know, and I personally will miss the frantic, waving hand gestures when I go 38 minutes with Neil DeGras Tyson or even mention Lord of the Rings. I know we will all really miss your confusion in Air Maraca white boy frat, but most of all, if I can, Chris, we will miss your persistence in the face of the opposition, whether or not you fight with a network about how many times we can say a hole in the CBS or urge staff to order a Meatball Shop for lunch, whether we like it or not, and for the record, we don’t.

Stephen Seagal has sparked outrage after saying both sides in the war in Ukraine are “one family” and accused an “outsider” of spreading propaganda against the Russian invasion.
The 69-year-old actor, who is a friend of Vladimir Putin and received Russian citizenship in 2016, said he hoped for a “peaceful solution” after forces invaded Ukraine last week.
The Kremlin apologist, who was appointed special envoy for humanitarian relations with the United States in 2018, had previously backed Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014 and praised Putin as “one of the world’s great living leaders.”

The Under Siege star told Fox News: “Most of us have friends and family in Russia and Ukraine.
“I see both as one family and I really believe that this is an external entity that spends huge sums of money on propaganda to provoke both sides to feud with each other.
“Prayer prayers are for both sides to reach a positive, peaceful solution in which we can live and prosper together in peace.”
The comments sparked outrage online, with many criticizing the actor for repeating the Kremlin’s remarks and failing to condemn the Russian invasion.

Last year, the Hollywood star joined a pro-Kremlin party.
Seagal received a party membership card of the alliance named Fair Russia – Patriots – For the Truth, showed a video published by the party.
It was set up earlier last year when three left-wing parties, all of which backed Putin, merged into one.
Seagal proposed repression against businesses that harm the environment.
“Without being able to arrest people, when we just fine them, they probably make more money from producing things that pollute the environment,” he said in his welcome speech at a party event.

The party controls a faction in the lower house of the Russian parliament and plans to run in parliamentary elections in September.
Seagal, a US-born martial artist, is best known for producing and starring in action films, while Putin, who granted him citizenship, is a fan of martial arts.
In 2018, Russia commissioned Seagal to improve humanitarian ties with the United States at a time when relations between the two countries have deteriorated to their worst level since the Cold War.
As a Russian envoy, Seagal visited Venezuela earlier last year and presented a samurai sword to Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.

“Bru, you’re a loser,” he shot. “You minimized my sister’s life by making some horrible and ugly comments about her.” You made these statements, knowing that your own mother would one day watch it; my parents and my whole family had to talk to you behind my sister’s back about the insecurities she has struggled with all her life.

Former Dancing with the stars Pro Maxim Chmerkovsky said he had been arrested in the Ukrainian capital and was now trying to leave the country amid the ongoing Russian invasion. “There are a lot of fights everywhere, the streets are crazy,” he said in a 5-minute Instagram video. “At one point I was arrested like a foot from here. But again, all good, I promise … This was probably the least traumatic moment in all this work as far as Ukraine is concerned. He described the experience as a “crazy reality test”, adding that he was not mentally able to unpack. The dancer and choreographer then added that he had decided to head to the border, probably given the Polish-Ukrainian border, where thousands had fled. “I have options,” Cmerkowski said. “My options are better than most people’s, unfortunately. I’m just a little nervous to be honest with you, but I think he’ll be fine. ” About nine hours later, he shared a travel update on his Instagram history. “I succeeded on the train,” he wrote. “We’re heading to Warsaw (I hope)”
Chmerkovski regularly shares videos and updates on Instagram as the situation in his home country deteriorates. “It really feels like it was when and why we left in the 1990s,” he wrote in a February 24 post. “Like my old post-traumatic stress, which I finally fixed, it’s back.” In his latest video, Chmerkovsky asked his followers not to panic if he disappeared from social media for a while. He explained that he was currently in contact mainly with his wife, Peta Murgatroyd. DWTS alum), brother and parents. He closed the video, calling any “unfair treatment” at the border “inhuman.” African students are reportedly facing discrimination as they try to leave Ukraine. “People are fleeing conflict, war,” Cmerkowski said. “Treat everyone equally. I love you all and will keep you posted. ”
Fresh from last week’s striking last turn 9-1-1: Lone Star he put the watch back for an hour oriented to Gwyn which left us with a new assessment of the unfortunate nature of Lisa Edelstein.
At this bitter hour, which began with the devastating 9-1-1 phone call made by a peddler named Liam, who accidentally hit Gwyn with his bicycle, zero hits were made. Liam’s description of the horrifying scene, including the realization that Gwyn died after hitting her head on the street, was incredibly difficult to hear. I know I wasn’t the only one who cried when he started telling baby John how much his mother loved him. (A recap can only take that much!)
“[Showrunner] “Tim Miner always warns me about things he plans in the world of Gwyn, so I knew much earlier,” Edelstein told TVLine about Gwyn’s unexpected death. “Anyway, after I had Enzo’s baby, I had the feeling that my days were numbered! (Just kidding).”
RELATED STORIES
And while Edelstein was ready to play Gwynn’s death on screen (“I Love the Adventure of the Cascades”), she was ultimately glad we didn’t see the whole thing unfold. “After being covered in this sticky horrible fake blood at other jobs, I may be a little relieved,” she said. “Not only is it sticky (thinking about my neck still makes me shrink), but they have to keep moisturizing it with cold spray. So, I change my mind: yes, I’m relieved that I was killed off camera!
Edelstein’s farewell hour told the story of two very different flights: today’s TK and Owen trip to Gwyn’s funeral, which they missed because their plane nearly crashed, and TK and Gwyn’s previous flight to a rehab in California, where she he took his son away after dragging him out of a drug store in New York. Apart from being an important memory of his mother, the retrospective of T.K. also triggered because he nearly stole several vials of fentanyl from his drug bag. If Owen hadn’t caught him on the spot, things would have turned out very differently.
Like the coma fantasies earlier this season, the scenes between TK and Gwyn painted a clear picture of their relationship. She was his guardian for life, someone who was determined to save him, whether he wanted help or not.
“My scenes with the beautiful Ronen [Rubinstein] they’re already emotional, so it’s built into the work, “Edelstein said of filming these scenes together, adding that Minear wanted to use Gwyn’s death as a way to strengthen the story and the connection between Gwyn and TK to really see what he wanted. to him in her absence, which is unfortunately how many people learn to appreciate the people they once loved. “
Speaking of gratitude, Edelstein said, adding: “I was surprised at how emotional my partners were at my fictional death! Sweet people. ”
As for Gwyn’s legacy, Edelstein knows exactly how she wants fans to remember her character: “Like an amazing mother, of course!” She says. “Besides being a super sexy ex-wife who is remarkably young for her age and in amazing shape, who is smarter than any woman they’ve seen and more charming than they thought possible. Yes. That sounds like the perfect way to remember Gwyn.
On the other hand, it is quite possible that this will not be the last thing we will see on Gwyn, given Lone Star’s penchant for dreams.
“I mean, the producers refused to give me the traditional cast of ‘This is a series about Lisa,’ so you never know!” Edelstein said of a possible future. “Fantasy Gwyn gets the best lighting in the show, so I’m good to appear in a few dream series here and there.”

With a list of impressive moments long enough to compete with any WWE superstar, Edge returned to Raw to join The Road to WrestleMania and remind his Superstars colleagues of his autobiography in The Showcase of the Immortals, stating that they will wait if anyone wants to rise and be immortalized.
Enter AJ Styles.
An industry legend, Stiles has won almost every championship the world has to offer in his 24-year career, including twice as a WWE champion. And that’s who Edge wanted to face, provoking Phenomenal One with his right hand in front of The Ultimate Opportunist, albeit seemingly controversial, battered Stiles with a low punch and two ringing-in-the-ears Con-Chair-Tos.
Although they both enjoyed incredible careers that lasted more than two decades, the two Grand Slam champions shockingly never met. In fact, their first and only meeting took place at the Royal Rumble Match 2020, when The Rated-R Superstar returned to the WWE nine years later, delivering a thunderous copy of Stiles before immediately throwing him over the top rope.
