Gwendolyn Osborne-Smith made a name for herself as a "The Price is Right" model for 12 years. She recently left the show to focus on her new role as COO at Smith Entertainment Group. That's the production company she runs alongside her husband, Emmy Award-winning broadcaster and former NBA player, Kenny Smith.
Osborne-Smith sits down with Alyssa Julya Smith in Los Angeles to talk about why she decided to start the production company, and how she is working with her husband on the venture. The company just signed a multi-year development deal with ITV America.
Osborne-Smith also talks about how the duo bring different skills to the table, as Kenny is much more involved in sports and live broadcasting. She says she would be open to creating her own game show after being on one for so many years.

Two new releases, the rom-com “Regretting You” and “Springsteen — Deliver Me From Nowhere,” earned $12.85 million and $9.1 million, respectively. “Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc” is based on the manga series about a demon hunter. It's another win for Sony-owned Crunchyroll, which also released a “Demon Slayer” film last month that debuted to a record $70 million.
The Federal Aviation Administration says flights departing for Los Angeles International Airport were halted briefly due to a staffing shortage at a Southern California air traffic facility. The FAA issued a temporary ground stop at one of the world’s busiest airports on Sunday morning soon after U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy predicted that travelers would see more flights delayed as the nation’s air traffic controllers work without pay during the federal government shutdown. The hold on planes taking off for LAX lasted an hour and 45 minutes and didn't appear to cause continued problems. The FAA said staffing shortages also delayed planes headed to Washington, Chicago and Newark, New Jersey on Sunday.
