When gymnastics wrapped up at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics, fans seemed desperate to find out if Simone Biles would stick with the sport and compete in the 2028 LA Games. The GOAT was outspoken about her annoyance at the question and refused to give it any thought, choosing instead to focus on celebrating her and Team USA’s historic wins. A little over a month later, it seems like Biles is still keeping her options open. However, she is ready to say goodbye to her signature vault move, and fans have some A+ comments about it.

Not only is the 27-year-old the greatest gymnast of all time, but she also has a gold medal-winning sense of humor. During the games, she made people laugh by simultaneously showing off her GOAT necklace and shouting out her haters. Now, she’s making headlines…

The video being shared online cuts Mr Farage off mid-sentence, whereas, in the full video, he actually says “I couldn’t give a damn whether you’re black or white”.

This clip comes from a video posted on YouTube by Canadian academic Jordan Peterson, who interviewed Mr Farage on 2 July 2024. The full interview lasts for around 50 minutes.

Jennings took over Bialik’s share of the Jeopardy! hosting duties after she left to support the SAG-AFTRA strike.

Jeopardy! host Ken Jennings said he was taken off-guard when Mayim Bialik exited the long-running game show. Jennings, who has has shared hosting duties with Bialik since the since July of last year, will now take over Bialik’s share of the job, which included hosting Celebrity Jeopardy! and other primetime specials. Her star power made sense in that scenario, but hardcore fans of the show never really seemed to let of the idea of Jennings replacing the late Alex Trebek as host. The compromise lasted for about a year, until Bialik stepped away from the show during the Writers Guild of America strike.
