Blake Shelton Does Not Miss ‘The Voice’

Author Nancy Brooks // Country Writer, Beasley Media Group

Blake Shelton appeared on The Jennifer Hudson Show today (11/17) and talked about a number of topics. Among them: the fact that he does not miss being on NBC’s The Voice.

Blake told Jennifer when she asked about him missing the show, “Not yet. I did that for 23 seasons.” Shelton went on to say that he wasn’t even planning on “being there that long.”

Shelton said, “I was planning on wrapping it up around 20 seasons or 21 seasons, and then COVID hit, and then I didn’t want to walk out on the show in the middle of COVID, and them trying to scramble and figure out what to do. So I stayed.” He joked that he “didn’t have anything else to do” anyway, so he stayed longer than he planned.

Blake also said he got his red chair, noting, “It was the one thing I wanted besides a bunch of money.” He said the chair resides in his and his wife Gwen Stefani’s home in Oklahoma.

Hudson flashed some images of Stefani and her many fashion choices as a fashion icon and asked Blake jokingly if he helped her pick out her fashion. Shelton laughed and quipped, “What are you talking about? You know I don’t help her. Of course not.” He did say that he does help her with fashion when she comes to Oklahoma and helps her be prepared for what to wear in his home state.

Jennifer showed a photo of the couple dressing in camo, and said, “Did you help her with this look?” Blake says, “See, she probably wasn’t prepared, and she had to put on a bunch of my crap.”

Talking about holiday traditions, Shelton said that Gwen and her boys really “get into the holidays.” He said one tradition they have is making “these weird turkeys” like a “Flaming Hot Cheetos turkey,” where they grind up Cheetos, put it on the turkey, and then bake it.

When asked if he could cook, Blake said he was “limited,” but he is a good frier, saying, “I fry stuff.” He then looked off-stage and gestured to the show’s producers off-camera. He joked, “I’m telling your producers right now, they are laughing, I’m a damn good frier, you can kiss my a–.”

6 Country Star Commercials We Love: Lainey, Blake and Gwen

  • Lainey Wilson for Tractor Supply

    The new Wrangler ad is not Lainey Wilson’s first commercial for TV. She starred in a commercial earlier this year for Tractor Supply. The ad features her driving a four-wheeler, performing on stage, and sitting in her truck with her momma. She also rides a horse in the spot and even drives a tractor. In the ad, she sings the song “For Life Out Here.”

  • Thomas Rhett for Fritos

    About a year ago, Thomas Rhett teamed up with Fritos and did a commercial touting the famous chip brand. The company revealed that Thomas’s commercial was the first new Fritos television commercial in 20 years. Rhett joined the iconic corn chip brand for its “Down For Everything” campaign. In the fun commercial, he asks a friend what his fave is like, “camper or tent” or “lab or poodle.” Rhett is not the first country star to do ads for Fritos; Reba did so in the late 1990s.

  • Reba McEntire for Kentucky Fried Chicken

    Reba was one of the many actors who portrayed Colonel Sanders in fun KFC ads and commercials a few years back. In the ad, you can hear Reba’s voice singing in a bar, then turning around and singing, “I’m Colonel Sanders,” dressed as the chicken icon, and then throwing a hat to herself, looking like the Reba we all know in the audience. The hilarious video also features actor Don Swayze playing guitar behind her. One of the best lines in the song is, “I’m definitely not a woman.” Other actors playing the Colonel in ads included Rob Lowe and comedian Jim Gaffigan.

  • Miranda Lambert for Ram Trucks

    In 2015, Miranda Lambert did a commercial for Ram Trucks. The minute-long ad features Lambert singing her hit “I Got Wings” in front of images of farm life and photo frames of herself throughout her hair. She also drives her Ram truck through a farm and plays guitar on the porch of an old farmhouse.

  • Garth Brooks for McDonald's

    It’s hard to find anything of Garth Brooks on YouTube because the superstar actually employs people to take down his stuff daily. However, you can see a commercial he did in the fall of 1994 for McDonald’s when he teamed with the burger giant to offer CDs and cassettes of his music for fans who buy a value meal at McDonald’s. In promoting the new partnership, I interviewed Garth with some fellow media outlets one afternoon, and he conveniently brought in a sack of McDonald’s lunch to munch on while we talked.

  • Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani for T-Mobile

    And who can forget the 2021 Superbowl commercial featuring Blake Shelton, his then girlfriend Gwen Stefani, and their buddy Adam Levine? The funny ad shows Adam setting Blake and Gwen up with one another after Stefani tells him, “I’m ready to start dating again.” After she describes what she wants, Adam, through a “spotty” phone service, hears it all wrong and thinks Blake fits the bill perfectly of an “uncultured country guy.”
