ABOUT SYDNEY KANE AND WIFE MATERIAL

The talented NYC-based comedian and singer-songwriter Sydney Kane has performed everywhere from off-off-off-barely-Broadway stages to the glamorous 9x16 iPhone screen, and beyond. She built a loyal following on social media with her deeply insightful takes on dating, so sharp and relatable that even straight men are taking notes.
 
Kane will be filming her musical comedy variety show Wife Material live at The Green Room 42 in New York City on June 18. With musical direction by David Dabbon (arranger for Oh, Mary!, Cat Cohen, Las Culturistas Culture Awards, SNL 50) and direction by Andrew Mullins.
The special touches on super relatable topics about the endless, exhausting loop of modern dating. While today's society seems to enjoy and glorify pushing women back to the 1950s, Kane pulls inspiration from comedic greats like Lucille Ball, Carol Burnett, and more to turn and upend her perfectly set dinner table.
 
Through original songs, sketch comedy, and unfiltered storytelling, Sydney takes you on a PG-13 (leaning R) rated journey through the most universal experience there is: falling in love. And then falling out. And then falling back in. And then regretting it. And then telling your friends you're done. And then you get over it. And then you meet someone new. And then you fall in love. Does this ever end? You'll have to see the show to find out! (It doesn't. but still see the show.)

In If You Knew Suzy: Pushing Past the Boundaries of ‘Never’, author Jane Fischer shares the breathtaking true story of her daughter, Suzy—a young woman born with severe brain defects and given a lifetime of “nevers” by the medical world. She’d never walk. Never talk. Never function. But Suzy had other plans.

Fueled by the unwavering love of her mother and family, Suzy’s journey is one of defiance, dignity, and quiet triumph. She danced. She competed. She lived independently. She worked in a classroom for over two decades—and touched the lives of everyone who knew her.

This book isn’t just Suzy’s story—it’s a lifeline for parents navigating the complex world of disability, and a wake-up call to anyone who’s ever underestimated the human spirit.

Rock and Blues Artist with Dynamic Vocals Shines After Single-Chair Turn and Instant Save Second Chance Coach Michael Bublé Goes Undefeated and Takes "Voice" Crown in Back-to-Back Seasons


Adam David, a soulful 35-year-old singer, songwriter and guitarist from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., was named champion of "The Voice" Season 27.

Guided by coach Michael Bublé, David faced off against a chorus of formidable competitors in the finale, including fellow Team Bublé artist Jadyn Cree, Team Legend's RENZO, Team Adam's Lucia Flores-Wiseman and Team Kelsea's Jaelen Johnston.

In his Blind Audition, David, who shared his inspirational story of battling addiction, earned the attention of Bublé with his bluesy rendition of Peter Frampton's "Baby, I Love Your Way." During the Battle Rounds, he and teammate Ricardo Moreno performed a duet of their coach's own hit song "Home."

Sailing through the Knockout Round, David transformed Allen Stone's "Unaware" with his signature smoky voice. During the playoffs, his earnest and soulful take on Bob Dylan's "I Shall Be Released" won his coach over and advanced him to the live semi-finals.

In the first live show, he performed "Bring It on Home to Me" by Sam Cooke, accompanied by his electric guitar. During the live results show, he didn't immediately advance to the next round and gave his all in a last-chance performance of "Lose Control" by Teddy Swims in the Instant Save. He earned America's vote for the single remaining spot in the finale and made a lasting impression that ultimately took him all the way to victory.

On Monday night's telecast, David continued to impress coaches and viewers with an up-tempo live performance of "Hard Fought Hallelujah" by Brandon Lake & Jelly Roll as well as a stirring down-tempo performance of "You Are So Beautiful" by Joe Cocker.

Before being crowned the winner during tonight's finale, David was joined on stage by coach Michael Bublé for a duet of classic "The Weight" by the Band.

David's presence on the show's social media platforms this season garnered immense popularity. His performances accumulated 7.3 million views across "The Voice" pages on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter and YouTube.

David's musical journey began early with the guitar, later discovering his voice at a performing arts camp, leading him to write songs. His career has taken him from local venues to international corporate events. Along the way, David struggled with addiction but eventually sought help and ultimately found recovery. Now five years clean, he credits music as a steady anchor in his life, helping him process emotions and maintain stability. David is deeply committed to performing at rehabilitation centers each week, using his own experiences and music to inspire others in their recovery. This work has become a cornerstone of his healing, providing purpose and a way to support others through their struggles.

"The Voice" is the #1 most-watched alternative series for the sixth consecutive broadcast season. The recent fall and midseason cycles have reached 46 million viewers across platforms.

"The Voice" Season 28 premieres in September 2025. Michael Bublé will return alongside Reba McEntire, Niall Horan and Snoop Dogg. 

"The Voice" is a presentation of MGM Television, Warner Bros. Unscripted Television in association with Warner Horizon, and ITV Studios The Voice USA, Inc. The series was created by John de Mol, who serves as an executive producer along with Mark Burnett, Audrey Morrissey, Amanda Zucker, Kyra Thompson, Adam H. Sher and Barry Poznick.

ABOUT NEWT GINGRICH AND TRUMP'S TRIUMPH: AMERICA'S GREATEST COMEBACK 

#1 New York Times bestselling author Newt Gingrich takes readers inside the most significant political comeback in American history and explains where the Trump movement goes from here.
Despite a nine-year effort to destroy him, President Donald J. Trump succeeded in a historic comeback victory in the 2024 presidential election. This was Trump's Triumph. Winning the popular and electoral votes, President Trump became the first president to be nonconsecutively re-elected since President Grover Cleveland. This all happened because President Trump was never a typical political candidate. He is the leader of a movement, which he recognized in the American people. To be clear: President Trump did not invent the Make America Great Again movement, he intuited it.Meanwhile, elites in media, academia, government, and politics learned a big lesson: Americans no longer trust them. President Trump assembled a massive coalition of Americans from all backgrounds who were tired of being told what to do, say, and believe. He made historic in-roads with voter groups which have not traditionally voted for Republicans. President Trump survived court cases, impeachments, outright lies - and two assassination attempts. All the while, the elites described a future which every day Americans did not want. The Joe Biden-Kamala Harris (and later Harris-Tim Walz) tickets represented three failures through which the American people were actively suffering: high inflation, a full-blown immigration crisis, and a prevailing elite ideology which they found at best confusing and at worst insane. Trump's Triumph puts all this into context, explains how President Trump overcame it all, and describes the future of the Make America Great Again movement. 

ABOUT NEWT GINGRICH 

Speaker Newt Gingrich is Chairman of Gingrich 360, a multimedia production and consulting company based in Arlington, Virginia. As former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Gingrich is well known as the architect of the "Contract with America" that led the Republican Party to victory in 1994, creating the first conservative majority in the House in 40 years.

He is the author of 43 books, including 18 fiction and nonfiction New York Times bestsellers. His latest books include Defeating Big Government Socialism and March to the Majority.Gingrich and his wife, Ambassador Callista L. Gingrich, host and produce historical and public policy documentaries. Recent films include "Journey to America," "The First American," and "Divine Mercy: The Canonization of John Paul II." Recognized internationally as an expert on world history, military issues, and international affairs, Newt Gingrich is the longest-serving teacher of the Joint War Fighting course for Major Generals.
