Re: [TV orNotTV] Jeopardy! UK - the Stephen Fry Edition

ITV has been airing their new Stephen Fry-hosted episodes of Jeopardy! They only placed an initial order of 20 episodes which are airing at 4pm weekdays just ahead of The Chase. But the first episode did get a slightly later airing on New Year's Day. But that timeslot is probably going to limit

2024-01-08 Thread Mark Jeffries
The branded Bleacher Report tier containing live game telecasts from the Turner channels needs to have "tech integrations," or so they say, and thus the building of the paywall ($10 a month) has been postponed from Mar. 1 for the immediate future, basically meaning that all of Turner's NCAA

Keke Palmer has become the third woman in Emmys history to win the award for hosting a game show for her gig on the Jimmy Fallon-produced reboot of "Password" on NBC, interestingly enough 48 years after the last time a host of the franchise was nominated (that would be original host Allen

I'm pretty sure that even though she lives in the UK these days (her husband, Patrick Kielty, presents Irelands long-running, and highly prestigious, Late Late Show), Cat Deeley is still hosting SYTYCD. Looking around the internet, it started shooting in Atlanta last month. Adam On Mon, Jan 8,

I was out last night going to see Second City for the first time in years (pretty good show), so I didn't watch or record the Globes. Would I assume that they tried to lean heavily on the laugh track to try to cover up Koy's lack of crowd response? It's no secret that the awards shows sweeten
