Could you imagine a world where Ken Jennings had never won Jeopardy!and hadn’t become the most-winning champion of all-time? Yeah, Jennings can’t either.

The now-host sat down with People to talk about the upcoming season of Jeopardy! Masters, which he said has the “most daring wagers, obscure facts, and the hottest brains in America.” Season 4 begins on August 25 for a two-week event with six Jeopardy! greats.

While Jennings hosts Masters, as well as the other tournaments and Celebrityspinoff, he has to wonder what his life would look like if he didn’t win 74 games of Jeopardy!.

“If you never became a Jeopardy! champ, never became host of the whole thing, what do you think you’d be doing today?” the outlet asked him.

“I was pushing 30 when we went on Jeopardy!” Jennings said. “We were doing okay. My wife and I had just had our first baby. We just bought our little starter home outside Salt Lake City, Utah. I was a computer programmer. It was going okay. The only thing was I didn’t really love my job. I wasn’t a very good computer programmer.”

“My wife reminded me that I had this idea to become a mural painter,” the host revealed. “I would paint murals on kids’ walls because I liked doing that for fun.”

“But all of these ideas never happened because I got lucky and I got to go on my favorite show. So, there is a world out there where I lose my very first game. One Daily Double goes the other way; that can happen, and now I’m a zero-game Jeopardy! champion. Maybe I’m painting Winnie-the-Pooh murals in a daycare somewhere, and I’m very happy, and Aaron Rodgers is hosting Jeopardy!. I’m not sure.”

“I mean he was pretty good,” People said.

“He was a solid guest host,” Jennings said, nodding. “He was my wife’s favorite, actually. When I tried to figure out why, and told her I was a guest host too, she said he’s very handsome.”

Jennings went on to say that the percentage of questions on the show that he knows the answer to has “declined over time.” Most of the time, he can’t think of someone’s name.

The Dancing With the Stars season 35 competition just got a little bit fiercer!

A source exclusively tells Us that Jenna Dewan will be hitting the ballroom, while a separate insider shares that Bachelor Nation fan favoriteTyler Cameron also will be lacing up his dancing shoes for the upcoming season.

Tyler’s casting comes five years after BFF and former Bachelor Matt James tried his hand at the competition with pro Lindsay Arnold on season 30. (The duo danced together for four weeks before they were eliminated.)

Us reached out to ABC for comment.

What to Know About Season 35 of ‘Dancing With the Stars’ So Far: Cast, Premiere Date and More

The full DWTS cast — including pros and celebrities — is set to be revealed on Good Morning America on September 2, though four contestants have already been officially announced.

Love Island’s Maura Higgins, Summer House star Ciara Miller, Savannah Bananas player Jackson Olsonand Jimmy Kimmel’s sidekick Guillermo Rodriguez will all be trying to Cha-Cha their way to the top of the leaderboard this season. Guillermo, 55, will be doing so with reigning champion and pro Witney Carson, who announced their partnership on Monday, August 17.

“I think he is so sweet. He’s so fun,” Witney said on GMA at the time. “That’s exactly what I need in this season of life that I’m in, just someone who’s fun, personable.”

Witney, who took home the mirrorball with wildlife conservationist Robert Irwin in season 34, also shared that she will be competing while navigating her third pregnancy. (Witney and her husband, Carson McAllister, are already parents of sons Leo, 5, and Jet, 3.)

“I would be lying if I said it wasn’t very daunting. I’ve never been this far along pregnant and competing on Dancing With the Stars, ever,” Witney said. “I don’t know if it’s ever been done. I’m so proud to be a woman, to be creating life and growing this human, and to be able to do the show and compete … is such a huge blessing.”

One day later, Witney shared a glimpse of her and Guillermo in the rehearsal studio gearing up for the premiere.

“When you and your partner get along instantly >> can’t wait for this season!” Witney captioned Tuesday, August 18, TikTok footage with Guillermo, who mouthed in the clip, “Where have you been?” Witney then lip-synched back the viral TikTok sound, “Nobody knows me like you do.”

Dancing With the Stars season 35 kicks off with a double premiere on ABC and Disney+ Tuesday, September 15, and Wednesday, September 16, at 8 p.m. ET.

DP World Tour star Grant Forrest said he would welcome another FaceTime call from Donald Trump should he retain his Nexo Championship title at Trump International Golf Links Scotland this weekend.

Forrest, 33, secured his second win on the DP World Tour with a four-stroke victory at the U.S. President's luxury golf course in Aberdeenshire, in August 2025, rewarding him with not only $467,500 in prize money but a personal call from Trump himself.

"He's some player," said Trump of Forrest as he spoke on a phone being held by Sarah Malone, the executive vice president at the Menie Estate venue. "I look forward to playing with him. In fact, I'll play with him tomorrow if he could get on a plane. Get on a plane and come over here, Grant!"

• Enes Kanter Freedom issues ultimatum to WNBA after convincing ex-NBA players to join grift

In response, a smiling Forrest said, "Let's do it, Mr. President!" though that would be as close as they'd come to stepping on the golf course together, as the Scotsman revealed just a month later that it had "been radio silence since the win".

"I didn't take him up on his offer to play the very next day," Forrest said in September 2025. "Bonkers, really. I suppose he's more speaking to me as the owner of the golf course in that situation, but he just happens to be the president of the United States."

Back to defend his title this week, however, the East Lothian man has revealed that he would be more than open to speaking with President Trump once more if he is able to retain his title at the same venue come Sunday.

According to The Scotsman, Forrest laughed at the reminder of last year's conversation with Trump and admitted it would be "nice" to be offered the opportunity again.

However, in order to do so, he will have to pull off another impressive performance as he did just over 12 months ago, though he should certainly be inspired by a giant image of himself from last year on the side of the Players' Lounge.

"Yeah, it is a good feeling," said Forrest of being greeted by that picture on his arrival this week. "Anywhere you've won, you have fond and special memories, and it's great to come back here as the defending champion."

With former Masters champion and Race to Dubai leader Patrick Reed among his rivals on this occasion, however, things certainly won't be smooth sailing for Forrest, especially on a course where his winning total 12 months ago was just eight under par.

Forrest got his title defense off to a rocky start during Thursday's first round, carding an even-par 72

Unfortunately for the Scotsman, that has so far proved to be true, after getting his title defense off to a rocky start in Thursday's opening round, shooting an even-par 72.

Forrest found himself 4-over par through just five holes, though he managed to rally back into contention by carding three consecutive birdies around the turn to steady his scorecard.

He will, however, be hoping for much better when he takes the course for Friday's second round, as he aims to make the weekend's cut and give himself the best chance of winning back-to-back Nexus Championship titles.

A U.S. Air Force plane heading from New Zealand to Antarctica was forced to turn around Tuesday due to a “potentially hazardous” space activity warning.

The American C-17 Globemaster aircraft, using call sign ICE28, initially took off from Christchurch, New Zealand, around 9:00 a.m. local time but returned back to Christchurch less than three hours later due to a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) sent by New Zealand’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).

A spokesperson from CAA told The Hill Tuesday that it was made aware of potentially hazardous activity by Russia’s state air traffic management corporation, “resulting in the issuance of a NOTAM advising pilots of the hazard.”

On Wednesday, the spokesperson revealed that it was made aware by Russia of a planned missile launch.

“[We were] made aware by the Russian air traffic agency of a planned missile launch and associated potential hazard to international airspace, within New Zealand’s Oceanic Flight Information Region (FIR),” New Zealand's CAA wrote.

The region is what CAA describes on its website as airspace over the high seas that New Zealand manages under the International Civil Aviation Organization's regional air navigation agreement.

FIR includes a 30-million-square-kilometer area that is mostly international waters, according to New Zealand’s air traffic management authority, spanning the South Pacific Ocean, the Southern Ocean and the Tasman Sea.

“We put in place a danger area and issued a NOTAM to alert aircraft operators to the potential hazard. This does not prevent aircraft from flying through the area, operators make their decisions based on the information available,” the agency continued.

The flight was scheduled as a part of the U.S. Air Force's winter fly season, which transports researchers and necessary equipment to Antarctica before summer research season begins in the region. The aircraft is one flight that is scheduled annually to fly between Christchurch and both the U.S. and New Zealand’s research bases in Antarctica.

Publix recalled certain frozen blueberries over E. coli riskCredit: FDA -

Publix recalled frozen organic blueberries and mixed berries due to potential E. coli contamination across eight states

The FDA classified the recall as Class I, indicating potential serious health risks upon consumption

Customers are advised to discard or return affected products and sanitize areas they touched to prevent further contamination

A recall of frozen blueberries has been elevated to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)’s highest warning level.

The agency classified Publix’s voluntary recall of certain frozen organic blueberries and mixed berries due to potential E. coli contamination as a Class I recall on Aug. 18, per FDA enforcement reports.

The Class I categorization indicates that “a reasonable probability” exists that using or being exposed to the berries “will cause serious adverse health consequences or death,” per the FDA.

The ongoing recall, which was first initiated by Publix on June 25, includes 10-oz. frozen Organic Whole Blueberries with expiration dates before Feb. 9, 2028 and the UPC 41415-06453.

The recall affects 44,994 units of the item, per an FDA enforcement report.

The affected items were distributed in Publix stores across Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.

Publix’s recall of 39,520 units of 10-oz. Organic Whole Mixed Berries with the same expiration dates that were distributed in the same states was also classified as a Class I recall, an FDA enforcement report shows.

The affected Whole Mixed Berries have a UPC of 41415-06753.

The FDA also classified Publix’s recall of 37,260 units of 48-oz. Frozen Organic Whole Blueberries as a Class I recall on Aug. 18, per another enforcement report.

The affected 48-oz. items were also recalled for potential E. coli contamination on June 25 and have expiration dates prior to Feb. 9, 2028. They were distributed in the same states as the 10-oz. recalled blueberries.

The blueberries have the UPC 41415-12053.

The FDA also classified the Publix recall of 48-oz. Frozen Organic Whole Mixed Berries, which impacted 60,320 units with the same expiration dates and distribution states, as a Class I recall.

The impacted mixed berries have a UPC of 41415-12153.

Publix recalled all lots of its GreenWise Organic Whole Blueberries and Whole Mixed Berries due to potential E. coli contamination on July 29, per an FDA announcement.

The recall impacted Organic IQF Frozen Blueberries and Whole Mixed Berries in 10-oz. and 48-oz. packages.

The recall follows a more limited recall initiated by the retailer’s supplier, Frutas y Hortalizas del Sur S.A., San Carlos, Chile on July 3, which impacted 10-oz. GreenWise Organic Blueberries with lot code 60401 and a best-by date of Feb. 9, 2028.

“Based on the public health officials’ product traceback and epidemiological information, Publix is now taking further action out of an abundance of caution to recall all lots of GreenWise Organic Whole Blueberries and Whole Mixed Berries,” Publix said in its July 29 announcement.

Publix said customers should not consume the affected items, instead discarding them or returning them for a refund.

The company stopped selling the items by the end of June, it said in the announcement.

“These products remain unavailable for sale,” the company said.

Publix and Frutas y Hortalizas del Sur S.A. did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

The FDA is investigating an outbreak of E. coli linked to the recalled frozen blueberries and mixed berries from Publix. The outbreak has impacted 11 people in Florida and one person in Georgia, with four hospitalizations.

“Do not eat, sell or serve recalled GreenWise Organic Frozen Whole Blueberries and Whole Mixed Berries,” the FDA said.

It added that customers and retailers with the recalled berries should sanitize areas that they touched.

Per the FDA, E. coli can cause symptoms like severe stomach cramps, diarrhea and vomiting.

For individuals with weakened immune systems, young children and older adults in particular, some E. coli infections can lead to hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a serious complication that can lead to kidney failure, per the Centers for Disease Control.

Will Smith could be drawn into the legal battle between his former friend Bilaal Salaam and Jada Pinkett Smith.

Salaam filed a motion on Tuesday, Aug. 18, to add "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air" alum, 57, as a co-defendant in his $3 million emotional distress case against Pinkett Smith, according to documents obtained by USA TODAY.

Salaam first sued the former "Red Table Talk" host, 54, in November, accusing her of threatening him on multiple occasions. Now, he alleges Smith was a direct participant in making several of those threats.

The couple must file a response to the request within 30 days of service, a Los Angeles judge ordered Aug. 19.

USA TODAY has reached out to representatives for Smith and Pinkett Smith for comment.

Will Smith, Jada Pinkett Smith allegedly threatened Bilaal Salaam for several years

In the proposed amendment, Salaam alleged Pinkett Smith said she would have him "killed if he continued to discuss her personal business or publish his memoir" during an Oct. 5, 2021 phone call. Smith, who was with his wife, then allegedly told Salaam, "'you heard what my wife said,' thereby personally affirming and adopting Defendant Pinkett Smith's threat as his own."

The call was allegedly connected to an incident the month prior at Smith's birthday party, where Salaam said Pinkett Smith and "seven members of her entourage" told him he would "end up missing or catch a bullet" if he continued to talk about her "personal business."

Another alleged incident took place in 2022 when Salaam said he was asked to help with "crisis management" after Smith slapped Chris Rock onstage at the Oscars over a joke the comedian made about Pinkett Smith. When Salaam refused, he said he was contacted by associates of Smith, with one allegedly threatening to "physically harm" Salaam.

The individual "had a longstanding paid professional relationship" with the Academy Award winner, and Salaam alleged the threat "was part of the coordinated campaign of private intimidation," per the latest filing, which called the conduct "extreme and outrageous."

Salaam said the couple continued to launch a "retaliatory campaign" against him as he wrote a memoir about his experiences with them and spoke out in a public interview in November 2023.

Pinkett Smith pushed back on Salaam's claims in subsequent interviews, accusing him of attempting to extort her and her husband in a "money shakedown" and declared her intentions to sue him.

Will Smith sued by tour violinist for sexual harassment, retaliation

Among the other alleged threats made "on behalf of Will and Jada" was what Salaam described as a "payment-for-retraction scheme," in which he said he was offered money to publicly share a "pre-scripted written statement" saying he had lied about the couple.

When he refused, Salaam alleged the couple's longtime associate Charles Alston, also named as a co-defendant, called and told him "to remain outside the United States, not publish his memoir, and not give further interviews." Salaam said Alston told him "there would be physical consequences if he did not comply."

"Defendant Pinkett Smith and Defendant Smith each acted with intent to cause, or with reckless disregard of the probability of causing, severe emotional distress to" Salaam, the motion read. He is seeking $3 million in damages, costs of the suit and a jury trial.

This latest filing came one month after Salaam requested that Smith testify in a deposition, USA TODAY previously reported. Pinkett Smith's attorney, Courtney L. Puritsky, pushed back in response, writing, "there is nothing to meet and confer about. Mr. Smith is not a party to this litigation."

Natalie Harp has long been one of President Donald Trump's closest aides, but a pointed comment from Sen. Jon Ossoff has put her into the national spotlight.

During a rally in Atlanta on Aug. 16, the Georgia Democrat accused Trump of wanting to "travel with Natalie" instead of focusing on his duties, reigniting questions about the aide's influence and unusually close proximity to the president.

The controversy has put a fresh spotlight on Harp, a longtime Trump loyalist whose role around the president has drawn increasing attention. Her constant presence alongside Trump, reported access to his communications and growing visibility inside his inner circle have made her one of the most talked-about aides in Washington.

Who is Natalie Harp?

Natalie Harp, 34, is Trump's executive assistant and one of the most visible figures in the president's inner circle. Harp, a former television presenter for One America News Network, graduated from Point Loma Nazarene University in 2012 and received an MBA from Liberty University in 2015, according to Vanity Fair.

Harp first gained national attention after crediting Trump's "Right to Try" law with helping her access an experimental treatment for bone cancer, according to Forbes. She spoke at the 2020 Republican National Convention and later worked on Trump's 2024 presidential campaign before joining the White House as executive assistant at the start of his second term.

Why is she called the 'human printer'?

Harp has become known in Trump circles as the "human printer," a nickname tied to her habit of carrying a portable printer and battery pack so she could provide the president with physical copies of information wherever he traveled, according to reporting by The Palm Beach Post, part of the USA TODAY Network.

She has also been linked in reports to some of Trump's most controversial social media activity through her access to his Truth Social account.

Harp was among a select few on Trump's secret flight

Harp's proximity to Trump was on display earlier this month when she was among a small group selected to accompany the president after he was secretly transferred from Air Force One to another aircraft via catering truck amid threats on his life from Iran.

Other top officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, adviser Stephen Miller and reporters traveling with the president, remained on what became a "decoy" plane.

She's a cancer survivor

Harp is a survivor of bone cancer and has frequently spoken about how the experimental treatment she received under the "Right to Try" program affected her life.

The law, signed by Trump in 2018, allows some terminally ill patients to seek access to treatments that have not yet received full approval from the Food and Drug Administration.

What is known about Natalie Harp's family?

Little is publicly known about Harp's family or personal life. However, her estranged brother, Preston Harp, has publicly commented on her relationship with Trump, calling it "unhealthy" in remarks reported by the Daily Mail.

He later told The Daily Beast that he believed his sister viewed Trump as a father figure and said she had struggled with her relationship with her late father.

As scrutiny of Harp intensifies after Ossoff's comments, interest in the executive assistant continues to grow, making her one of the most closely watched figures in Trump's inner circle.
