Kendelle
Kendelle is lead anchor Case Blackwell’s real-life and in-show girlfriend, making occasional in-studio appearances across Barely Informed News.
Overview
Unlike the studio’s remote correspondents or desk analysts, Kendelle appears whenever she walks through the “studio” (Blackwell’s home streaming room). Her entrances are instantly recognized by viewers thanks to her own dedicated signature theme music that Blackwell cues whenever she walks across the frame.
In addition to spontaneous on-camera walk-throughs, Kendelle is a freelance video editor, Blackwell’s cooperative gaming partner (regularly playing games like BigWog and Friend Slap), and his co-host for joint podcast and self-improvement projects (such as their “looks maxing” experiments).
Blackwell frequently shares personal life updates involving Kendelle—including hiding engagement rings while preparing for “husband money”, surviving 15-hour emergency flight layovers in Denver, and navigating health insurance coverage lapses.
