Not in standard American English to the best of my knowledge, but it’s not impossible some dialects use this construction.

American English is shifting strongly in the direction of always using "is" when the subject is dummy "there".
It's also shifting to using schwa rather than FLEECE in "the" when it is followed by a vowel.
On the internet, the -en form of verbs seems to be disappearing entirely, with constructions like "I should have went [wherever]".
