Mattel slaps political podcast 'Coffee with Ken' with bizarre lawsuit

Mattel has filed a lawsuit against a Washington, DC-based political podcaster – claiming bizarrely that audiences might mistakenly associate his show with its Barbie franchise, The Post has learned. The toy giant has lodged a complaint with the US Patent and Trademark Office over 'Coffee with Ken,' a YouTube show hosted by Ken Biberaj, a DC-based real estate executive and former chair of the Manhattan Chamber of Commerce. The bi-monthly podcast – which features guests like Sen. Joe Manchin, billionaire David Rubenstein, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and 'Hamilton' star Leslie Odom Jr. – was granted preliminary approval for a trademark in 2023. Advertisement 6 Ken Biberaj launched his podcast 'Coffee with Ken' five years ago. Youtube 'We strive to focus our topics at the intersection of the public, private and social impact sectors,' said Biberaj, noting that the show now boasts 20,000 viewers per episode and hosts live events that can draw upwards of 200 attendees. 'I don't think anyone expected a doll to interview a governor,' Biberaj told The Post. Advertisement Nevertheless, Mattel insists that 'Coffee with Ken' could create confusion about whether it's associated with Barbie's squeaky-clean, beach-loving boyfriend, according to court papers. In particular, the El Segundo, Calif.-based company points to its Ken Barista doll — a hipster with a man bun and an apron who pulls perfect espresso shots — as proof of potential confusion. 6 The Ken Barista doll was discontinued.

‘Jeopardy!' Host Breaks Silence on Exit Rumors

'Jeopardy!' Host Breaks Silence on Exit Rumors originally appeared on Parade. As the latest season of Jeopardy! comes to a close, is this a final goodbye for its host? After months of speculation and fan theories swirling online, they are finally addressing the rumors about whether they'll be returning to the iconic game show or stepping away for good. Ken Jennings took over hosting duties in 2021, a year after Alex Trebek died from pancreatic cancer in 2020. Jennings co-hosted the show alongside Mayim Bialik for two years before becoming its sole host in 2023. Jennings revealed to TV Insider whether or not he's taking his final bows at the legendary series. He shared surprising news. "The last host worked into his 80s. Traditionally, it's not a job you retire from," Jennings explained.

It's just such an incredibly fun job. You're playing along with the smartest folks and getting to see them do their thing up close." He concluded, "I really feel very lucky that I'm still part of the Jeopardy! family after all these years. And I have, I have no plans to hang it up." Jennings holds the record, according to the show's official website, for the most consecutive games won in 2004, at 74. He also tops regular-season play with a record-winning cash prize of $2,520,700. Before his historic winning streak, Jennings was a longtime fan of the game show, which originally premiered in March 1964 with Art Fleming as host. The show aired in various formats until 1979, before being relaunched in 1984 with Trebek at the helm. Jennings admits there are some classic elements of the show he wishes would return. "I do miss, and I don't know how many decades it's been, but there used to be a thing where the dollar amounts would appear on the board and the sound effect would be like 'beep boop boop beep boop boop' and we don't have time for that sound effect anymore, apparently, but I miss it." He quipped, "I'm very nostalgic for that sound effect. I feel like our ratings would probably double just from that. I'm not an expert, but I'm just spitballing. I think we would double our ratings if we had the dollar amount sound effect back." Jeopardy! airs weeknights in syndication. 'Jeopardy!'
