T2 WHATS UP! October 18 - 24, 2020 BY RACHEL JONES TV Media S eason 19 of "The Voice" is finally set to air Mon- day, Oct. 19, on NBC. The show was originally meant to begin in the spring but was pushed back, like many others, due to the novel corona- virus pandemic. Fans have been unsure for months if the show would even return and, if so, how. "The Voice" returns with host Carson Daly ("Last Call with Carson Daly") live at its usual time, every Monday and Tuesday. If you can't make it, don't stress; the full episodes go online the following day on NBC's website. And if you're behind the times on this musi- cal phenomenon, you can download the NBC app to watch anywhere or, if you are a Hulu subscriber, the full sea- sons are available, too. After a tweet from NBC an- nouncing the new season, teas- ers have been popping up all over social media. The judges returning to the show are coun- try star Blake Shelton, singer- songwriter John Legend, pop star Gwen Stefani and the origi- nal "American Idol," Kelly Clarkson. Back for her fifth sea- son in the red chair, Stefani has been a sporadic judge over the past several years. Last seen in Season 17, she took a two-sea- son break and was replaced with musician and actor Nick Jonas ("Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle," 2017). While fans are asking why he's not return- ing, Jonas has remained silent. The only judge who has sus- tained all 19 seasons is Shelton, while Clarkson is in her sixth season and Legend in his fourth on the panel. Shelton also has an impressive record as a seven- time winning coach, with Clark- son trailing behind at three wins and Legend only one. As for Season 19 mentors, NBC is holding tight to that list and has given no hints for whom it plans to bring on. What we do know is that the network always goes big when it comes to getting the stars. Last season featured singers Ella Mai, Dua Lipa, Bebe Rexha, the Jonas Brothers and even powerhouse icon James Taylor. Carson Daly hosts "The Voice" Songs from afar continued on page T10 TV FEATURE
