Kevin Across America | The House in THIS ICONIC AMERICAN PAINTING is Real | And You Can Actually VISIT it in IOWA 🖼️ 🔱 🏡 @KevinAcrossAmerica | Uploaded June 2023 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
American Gothic is one of the most iconic paintings of the 20th Century.

Grant Wood's masterpiece — depicting a protective father and his annoyed-looking daughter — has long been on display at the Art Institute of Chicago.

The white, wooden house seen in the painting, however, is located in Eldon, Iowa. I visited the home and learned about American Gothic's interesting backstory...

👋🏼 Hey there! I'm Kevin Lewis, a former TV news reporter at ABC7 in Washington, D.C., and WNDU in South Bend, Indiana.

After working in television news for 15+ years, I left the industry in February 2023, to have the freedom and flexibility to explore North, Central, and South America, capturing remarkable stories along the way, and sharing them with you right here on YouTube.

Maybe you want to learn more about what's out there. Maybe you want inspiration on where to travel next. Maybe you just want to unwind after a long day at work or school... Whatever your reason, please know that whenever you watch a 'Kevin Across America' video, you should feel less stressed, more optimistic about the world we live in, and I sincerely hope, more motivated to get out there and explore. After all, there's such a lot of world to see!

Do you have a travel suggestion for one of my upcoming videos? Leave a comment in a recent video or email me.

Happy Trails!

$WATCH Arnold Schwarzenegger On Live With Regis and Kelly In 2002 (Complete Episode) 🎥 🎤 💪 This 2002 episode of Live With Regis and Kelly featured Arnold Schwarzenegger and Rebecca Romijn Stamos. Live with Kelly and Mark (or simply Live) is an American syndicated morning talk show hosted by Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos. Executive produced by Michael Gelman, the Live with... show formula has aired under various hosts since 1983 locally on WABC-TV in New York City and 1988 nationwide. As of 2016, it is produced by WABC. With roots in A.M. Los Angeles and A.M. New York, Live began as The Morning Show, hosted by Regis Philbin and Cyndy Garvey; the show rose to national prominence as Live with Regis and Kathie Lee when Philbin was joined by Kathie Lee Gifford. The franchise has had longstanding success and has won the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Talk Show and Outstanding Talk Show Hosts. Since April 2023, the show has been hosted by Ripa and her husband, Mark Consuelos. Before Consuelos, Ripa previously co-hosted the show with Philbin, Michael Strahan, and Ryan Seacrest. Live has been to eight countries and nearly 25 states, logging 200,000 miles (320,000 km). The list of remotes includes Tampa, Hawaii, Monaco, Banff, San Antonio, Aspen, Walt Disney World, New Orleans, Disneyland, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Paris, Detroit, Chicago, The Bronx, Los Angeles, the USS Intrepid, Minneapolis–Saint Paul, Maui, Prince Edward Island, London, Scottsdale, the White House, Charlotte, Churchill Downs, Niagara Falls, Puerto Rico, Marina del Rey, Philadelphia, Branson, Mount Rushmore, The Bahamas, and the Dolby Theatres set for the 85th Academy Awards. The New York Daily News gave the program a positive review: …When it comes to the amount and playfulness of morning talk, nothing beats Live. In 2001, 2011, 2012, 2015, and 2016 the show won the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Talk Show Hosts, and in its 24th year, after 21 nominations, it won the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Talk Show. According to daytime television ratings, viewership averages 5 million per episode, ranking #1 in all big markets, such as New York City, Pittsburgh, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Dallas, San Francisco, and Miami. Dominating its time periods, Live is the top-rated morning show and regularly the #1 syndicated talk show. 2001–2011: Live! with Regis and Kelly: Ripas co-hosting duties began the following week, on February 12, 2001. The young-audience demographic of Live! with Regis and Kelly increased by 80 percent, with Ripa credited by major outlets such as the Chicago Tribune and Entertainment Weekly for bringing a new life to the show (dubbed the Ripa effect). Seven months into Philbins and Ripas run, the September 11 attacks on the United States occurred, with coverage beginning twelve minutes before that days episode would have started. The show was pre-empted for a week following the attacks and returned on September 18, 2001. Together they hosted the annual Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade during this era. In 2009, when Philbin underwent hip surgery, Nick Cannon replaced him as the host for that years Christmas special. Ryan Seacrest also took Philbins place on occasion. Ripa later had a stress fracture, which made it necessary for her to host the show on crutches. At times Maria Menounos filled in for Ripa, who was elsewhere on assignment for the show. Shortly after celebrating his and Ripas 10th anniversary together, Philbin announced on January 18, 2011, that he would leave Live!. The show then held a Regis Farewell Celebration Season, showcasing Philbins top moments from his 28 years on the program, 1983–2011. His final show aired on November 18, 2011. Executive producer Michael Gelman said in 1993, The real concept of the show, in a symbolic sense, is that they are husband and wife. They have their coffee mugs and theyre chit-chatting about whats going on. It is the basis of the shows signature Host Chat, an unscripted on-air conversation between the co-hosts that opens each show. Following Host Chat is a trivia segment in which the show telephones a home viewer, who must answer a question (usually about a guest on a recent show) to win a vacation for themselves and a door prize for a member of the studio audience. Shortly before the COVID-19 pandemic, the hosts started playing a new game with the contestant before the trivia question, wherein the caller gave the host two statements, one true and one false. If the hosts are stumped, the caller wins a Live with Kelly and Mark mug. The show then continues with interviews with celebrity guests, musical performances, and other recurring segments, including regular features showcasing fashion, food, health, and lifestyle topics.$
