12 Famous Reality TV Stars Named Ken

November 16, 2015 by Kenney Myers

There are hundreds of reality television series on the air, both in syndication and currently in production. Some might even argue that game shows are reality TV since there are no actors, but instead real people doing real-life activities, which bumps the number of reality programs up even higher. These 12 reality show participants have all starred in very different shows, but they do have one thing in common: the name “Ken.”

Kenny Wormald – A famous dancer, Kenny Wormald also appeared on MTV’s Jennifer Lopez-helmed reality showDancelife. Though the show itself was short-lived, Wormald was a highlight.
Ken Todd – He and his wife, Lisa Vanderpump, starred in The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but his claim to fame is not just that he appeared on television. Instead, he is known for being a restaurateur. Todd and his wife own a total of 26 restaurants in London and Los Angeles.
Kenneth Barrington – Barrington participated in Love in the Wild, a reality dating show with an adventurous twist and one couple left standing in the end. Ken won along with Yanina Beccaria. They found each other through the show and are still together.
Ken Coleman – Contestant on The Biggest Loser during its third season, Coleman now owns a fitness center he named after himself. Since being on the show, he admitted that he gained about 10 pounds or so back, but he continues to count his calories. He is also a motivational speaker and travels with a message promoting healthy habits.
Kenny Mayne – A Dancing with the Stars contestant, Mayne participated in 2006. He was the first contestant to be eliminated because of his cha-cha dance. Before and after this show, he has been known for his work with ESPN as a sports anchor.
Ken Jennings – Jennings is probably the best known Jeopardy contestant in the history of the game show. He won a total of 74 games over a six-month period, earning more than $2 million in the process. Since that stint, he has also appeared on other game shows such as Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader? and 1 vs. 100.
Ken Duphiney – Duphiney participated in The Amazing Race reality show, in which 12 teams, each made up of two people, race around the world while performing tasks they are given. Duphiney was on the show with his brother Gerard for its third season.
Kenny Santucci –Santucci has been on a total of seven Real World, Road Rules: Challenge episodes. A spin-off amalgamation of two top MTV reality shows, Real World, Road Rules: Challenge has aired for 23 seasons.
Kendall Beard – While Kendall is a woman, she is still a “Ken” in her own right. This American Idol contestant released an album in 2007, though she did not make it to semifinals of season eight as one of the final 12 contestants.
Ken Hoang – Hoang is a professional gamer who participated in Survivor. Because he was not overly muscular and did not seem like a threat, the other contestants were shocked to learn that he had climbed Mt. Fuji at the young age of 20. He made it into the final days of the competition, but did not go home victorious.
Kenley Collins – Another female Ken for the list, Collins was on the designer reality show Project Runway. She was part of the fifth season and has her own clothing line. After appearing on the show, she was invited back for the Project Runway: All Stars edition. She came back to the show claiming she had changed as a person and as a designer since her first appearance.
Kenny Florian – The Ultimate Fighter is a cut-throat challenge for a spot with the mixed martial arts collective UFC, with the winner landing a valuable contract with the world-famous fighting organization. Florian participated in the lightweight class, lost to fellow competitor Jose Aldo in 2011 and has not fought since.

Whether it’s game shows, competitive sports, dancing or singing competitions, reality television shows in some form or another have been around since the dawn of the TV itself. As long as people are tuning in, reality television will continue to make major programming waves and, chances are, go on to feature more “Kens” in some role or another.

10 Famous Dancers Named Ken

November 14, 2015 by Kenney Myers

Dancers don’t typically court fame in the same way as other celebrities. However, without dancers, you wouldn’t have musicals, street dance or choreographed extravaganzas like Michael Jackson’s landmark masterpiece Thriller. Through interpretive movements that take a huge amount of coordination, balance and control, dancers are able to express what actors can’t. These are 10 of the most famous dancers named Ken.

Ken Ard – After working with greats like Nina Simone as a child, Ken Ard eventually went on to perform choreography for some of the most prominent jazz artists of the 21^st century. Predominantly a ballet dancer, Ken drifted towards jazz during the 90s, which culminated in the release of his first jazz album, “Ballads, Blues & Cocktails.”
Ken Berry – He is better known as a sitcom actor, most notably for his roles in F Troop and The Andy Griffith Show. However, Ken Berry was also an accomplished dancer and singer. On Broadway, he made appearances in The Billy Barnes Revue and in George M!. Berry was also a frequent guest on Abbott and Costello, as both a singer and dancer.
Ken Cosgrove – Played by Aaron Staton in the popular series Mad Men, character Ken Cosgrove tried his hand at tap dancing in one episode – replete with tweed suit and cane. Nobody quite knows what the impromptu dance added to the scene, but it went viral on the Internet, as these things often do. There were a number of parodies created of the scene, including one that uses Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky” as the musical backdrop. The Internet is often a cruel puppet-master, but in this case the uncalled for publicity only served to push the show to even greater heights.
Kenneth Walker – This former dancer with the Ballet Pacifica launched the Kenneth Walker Dance Project in 2004. The non-profit project aims to bring dance to communities that never get to experience any form of the expressive arts. To date, the project has successfully introduced shows to a number of festivals across the country, and it grows in strength with each passing year. It is Kenneth Walker’s hope that the project will introduce dance to a generation who would have otherwise never have had the chance.
Ken Fury – B-Boy Kenny – as he’s known on the streets of Pueblo, Colorado – taught himself to break dance at the age of 11. He later pursued his dream with Full Circle Productions in New York, before landing dancing roles in commercials for Toshiba and Starburst. Fury remains a big name on the street dance scene, hugely famous in this relatively small circle of performers.
Kenny Everett – This madcap British comedian had a penchant for dance that was just as crazy as the rest of his routine. Everett’s dance style was, for lack of a better term, unconventional for the time. However, by today’s standards his moves would be hailed as the latest craze. Unfortunately, Kenny lost his battle with AIDS in 1995, a terrible loss to both his family and the British public.
Kenneth MacMillan – From 1970 to 1977, MacMillan served as the artistic director of the Royal Ballet in London. His work in choreography is where his true talents were, although he was an accomplished dancer in his own right, too. Some of his notable works included Valses nobles et sentimentales in 1966, and Anastasia in 1967 and again in 1971. MacMillan sadly passed away from a heart attack in 1992, at the age of 62.
Kenneth Branagh – Although he is commonly known for his Shakespearean roles, Kenneth Branagh has danced in West End musicals, on screen during the British Television series “Thompsons,” and in many other productions. It is no surprise, then, that Branagh has been tipped to take over the job as head of the National Theatre.
Kenny Ortega – Another great choreographer, Kenny Ortega worked with Madonna on “Material Girl” and in Michael Jackson’s “This Is It” live performances, winning awards for both. However, his greatest work was on the choreography for the iconic dance movie Dirty Dancing, which starred the late Patrick Swayze. Dirty Dancing is still heralded as being one of the best dance-centric movies to this day.
Kenny Loggins – Better known as the voice behind “Footloose,” Kenny Loggins inspired a generation to dance. The movie, starring Kevin Bacon, was one of many pivotal movies focused on the medium of dance in the 80s. Bacon’s seminal performance made Footloose an iconic movie, however, it was Loggins’ voice and catchy guitar riff that sold the title song.

10 Famous Preachers Proudly Named Ken

November 6, 2015 by Kenney Myers

While they hail from all walks of life and denominations, there’s one thing that each of these ten preachers have in common: the name “Ken.” Despite any differences in legacy or spiritual opinion they may have, they are all connected by their first name.

Kenneth Hagin – Reverend Kenneth E. Hagin was reportedly “miraculously healed” of a longtime childhood ailment by the power of God. Hagin also began what is now known as Rhema Bible Training College. He has been referred to as the “Father of the modern faith movement.” His son, Kenneth W. Hagin has taken over the ministry and it continues to flourish today, you can find out more by visiting their website.
Ken Klaus – Klaus is known for being the Lutheran Hour Speaker, as well as being a minister for the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS), Klaus also has published several booklets. He has a master’s degree in theology and a B.A. in pre-seminary studies. The goal of the Lutheran Hour is to host programs that are significant worldwide and to speak the gospel to those who are unfamiliar with its teachings. The program then creates relationships with those interested in becoming more involved and in learning more about the Lutheran faith.
Kenneth W. Wright – Wright is a minister at the New Iberia Church of Christ. He attended the University of Houston, the Houston Preachers Educational School and the Preston Road School of Preaching. On top of that schooling, he has received his Master of Theology. He helped establish the Southeastern Georgia School of Biblical Studies.
Kenneth Copeland – Copeland started his own ministry and named it after himself: Kenneth Copeland Ministries. He and his family embrace the Word of God and form their lives around it. He became a born-again Christian soon after meeting his wife, and has been preaching ever since.
Ken Hutcherson – Ken Hutcherson is the senior pastor and co-founder of Antioch Bible Church. Hutcherson became a Christian when he was in high school. He realized during college that several church groups did not focus as much on the scriptures as they did on who belonged to their sect and on the traditions of their particular church. He wanted to find a church that embraced every person, and promotes diversity among his congregation.
Ken Kelly – Pastor Ken Kelly has his own blog, though he has been on hiatus from the blog since 2009. He has been the senior pastor of Chapin Baptist Church in South Carolina since 1986. He’s also on Twitter under the user name @pastorkenkelly.
Ken Endean – Pastor Ken Endean is a minister at Cornerstone Baptist Church in Maine. His father was also a pastor. He received a BA in Bible and an MA in pastoral studies. He followed his faith from a young age, when his mother taught him about the grace of God. He is now married with three children and is an active pastor.
Ken Smith – This pastor also had a preacher for a father. He was deeply devoted to his church, but eventually left for a short time. When he became seriously ill, he promised God to follow Him if only he were to be well again. He kept his promise and began to regularly attend church. Now, as a pastor, he is doing God’s bidding by following his life calling. You can find out more on his website.
Kenneth Miller – While many pastors are known for their sermons, Kenneth Miller is known for his aid in a kidnapping case that took place in 2009. In the fall of 2012, he was convicted of helping arrange a flight to Nicaragua for Lisa A. Miller and her daughter (no relation to the pastor). The courts had ordered, in 2009, that custody be shared between Lisa Miller and her ex-lesbian partner Janet Jenkins.
Ken Silva – Pastor Ken Silva is the founder of Apprising Ministries whose roots are in classic, historic and orthodox Christian theology. It is the goal of Apprising Ministries, and thereby Ken Silva, “to provide sound reasons to believe in Jesus, the Christ, as well as to defend the faith once delivered unto the saints from enemy attacks within the Church and from without.”

These famous Christian leaders do share more than a name, even if their doctrinal differences seem to keep them divided from one another. Regardless of the sect their churches belong to, they all strive to be champions of the Christian faith. As a the son of a preacher I certainly have a ton of additional respect for the role and importance they play in the lives of their congregation and the church at large.
