 The whatstrending.com Opening Toss-Up story.



If The Wall could do it for LeBron James, then Holey Moley could do it for this man....





Yep. One of the splash Brothers, Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors. 


ABC announced today the network pickup of new extreme miniature golf competition series, "Holey Moley." The first-of-its-kind, 10-episode mini-golf competition will showcase self-proclaimed mini-golf lovers from around the country as they compete head-to-head through an unparalleled, epic obstacle golf course. NBA superstar Stephen Curry will serve as executive producer, resident golf pro of the "Holey Moley" course and appear in every episode. Rounding out the on-camera talent is color commentator Rob Riggle, play-by-play commentator Joe Tessitore and sideline correspondent Jeanie Mai.
"Holey Moley" will focus on the family-favorite game of mini-golf with a twist. In each episode, 12 contestants will put their miniature golf - and physical - skills to the test and face off in never-before-seen challenges on a larger-than-life course. Mini-golf experts of all ages and backgrounds will try their luck on "Holey Moley"'s supersized holes. Every episode will consist of three rounds of golf, culminating with three finalists taking on the daunting "Mt. Holey Moley" in a three-way contest. Ultimately, one winner per episode will take home the $25,000 prize, along with "The Golden Putter" trophy and coveted "Holey Moley" plaid jacket.
Uniquely themed holes will be featured every week, along with special celebrity guest appearances and other surprises along the way. "Everyone has a favorite memory of playing miniature golf, whether it was as a child with your family, with a group of friends as a teenager, or on an awkward first date. Take that feeling, add high stakes competition and out-of-this-world challenges, and we have no doubt 'Holey Moley' will stand alongside other golf classics like 'Caddyshack,' 'Happy Gilmore' and 'The Legend of Bagger Vance,'" said Rob Mills, senior vice president, Alternative Series, Specials and Late Night, ABC Entertainment.
"Unanimous is incredibly excited to partner with ABC on 'Holey Moley,'" said Jeron Smith, co-founder and CEO of Unanimous Media. "We aim to use entertainment as a vehicle to bring families together, and this show will surely bring laughter and enjoyment to households around the country. Miniature golf is a staple pastime and the show will be fun, intense and unpredictable. Our collective love of sports and family-centric entertainment made this a perfect project for our first television series. We're excited to see what the competition brings."
"Eureka is thrilled to be working with ABC to take America's love of miniature golf to the next level. It's extreme and perfect family-fun. We can't wait to unveil the most spectacular mini-golf course ever created" said Chris Culvenor, co-founder and co-CEO of Eureka. "Teaming up with Stephen Curry and Unanimous Media makes it even more special. Stephen has changed the game of basketball forever, so we are beyond excited to join forces with him to transform miniature golf into an epic event."
Stephen Curry is a three-time NBA Champion, two-time NBA MVP and six-time NBA All-Star. He has revolutionized the way basketball is played and has established himself as one of the most respected and beloved players to have ever played the game. Curry co-founded Unanimous Media in 2018, which develops and produces inspiring television, film and digital content with an emphasis on family, faith and sports themes.

This......just in.

ABC has enlisted a well-known joker to host its updated take on Card Sharks: Community grad Joel McHale has been tapped to emcee the forthcoming revival.
"I'm very excited to be hosting Card Sharks," McHale said. "Game winners can win tens of thousands of dollars and in an updated twist, losers will be fed to a pen of adult tiger sharks."
McHale is no stranger to hosting, of course. He presided over E!'s pop culture clip show The Soup for 11 years, then did the same on Netflix's short-lived continuation The Joel McHale Show With Joel McHale. His recent TV credits include guest spots on The Rookie and Santa Clarita Diet.
The Alphabet Net's new version of Card Sharks will begin with two players facing off in a head-to-head "elimination race," where the winning player claims a $10,000 cash prize. That contestant will then get a chance to turn his or her money into an even bigger payday by trying to predict seven final cards.
As previously reported, ABC is resurrecting both Card Sharks and Press Your Luck, which will join the network's lineup of other game show revivals, including Match Game, $100,000 Pyramid, Celebrity Family Feud and To Tell the Truth.
Card Sharks is slated to premiere this summer.. 









After this commercial word,  one GSN host comes back.....for a different game. That's.......when Game Show Live returns.

Nine professional bakers battle it out on the new season of Best Baker in America, premiering Monday, May 13th at 9pm ET/PT. Food Network's Scott Conant returns to host, tasking the bakers over seven episodes with challenges designed to put their baking skills and technical proficiency to the test for a chance to walk away with $25,000 and the coveted title.
During each episode the bakers must create elegant and delicious baked goods through two rounds - a Skills Challenge that tests their mastery of the essential technical skills of baking, followed by a Master Challenge that tests the bakers' prowess working with specific flavors and ingredients. Returning judges, Jason Smith and Marcela Valladolid, are joined by special guest pastry experts each episode, including Florian Bellanger, Elizabeth Chambers, Valerie Gordon, Shinmin Li, Nancy Silverton, Sherry Yard and Zac Young, to determine which baker possesses the artistry and creativity needed to earn the grand prize and be crowned Best Baker in America!
"Proving to be the Best Baker in America takes a mixture of skill, imagination and determination," said Courtney White, President, Food Network. "These tremendously talented bakers have their work cut out for them, as they are pushed outside their comfort zone to whip up beautiful and delicious baked goods to impress an all-star lineup of prestigious bakers for the $25,000 prize."
The nine bakers gather in the season premiere to begin their first challenge, having to create perfect mini-Princess Cakes. For the second challenge, the bakers must produce a spectacular Royal Baby Celebration cake for 100 people, using elderflower and lemon as the featured flavors. After the judges deliberate, one baker will be eliminated.
Other episodes during the season feature the bakers making miniature versions of pastry classics, presenting the judges with smashable desserts using coconut as the featured flavor, and creating a flaming Bombe Alaska.

The stakes are big, but the games ... not so much.
NBC is offering contestants the opportunity to amass a "Small Fortune" as the network has nabbed a six-episode order of Youngest Media's unscripted competition series. The U.S. series will be based on the popular U.K. format that launched on ITV in February.
"Small Fortune" will see teams of three friends compete in the tiniest of challenges for a chance to win big money. From a shrunk down Oval Office ("The Waste Wing") to a mini Arc de Triomphe ("Arc de Wee-Omph") each team must prove their skills on playing fields that have been squeezed down to the size of a dollhouse. Challenges will require considerable dexterity and intense focus because with games this small, there's no room for error as the slightest miscalculation or tremble may result in elimination.
"'Small Fortune' is a quirky, clever and hilarious concept with a surprising level of intensity that will keep viewers in suspense," said Meredith Ahr, President, Alternative and Reality Group, NBC Entertainment. "As soon as we saw the format in action, we knew we wanted to bring it to NBC. It proves that the simplest format can often pack the biggest punch."
"NBC have been big fans of our little show from day one and their enthusiasm makes them the perfect partner in the U.S.," said David Flynn and Lucas Church, co-founders of Youngest Media. "We can't wait to bring the world's smallest gameshow to the biggest market in television."
To take home the ultimate Small Fortune, teams that make it to the end must tackle one last teeny-tiny but epic game. If players can control their nerves and avoid the slightest mistake they will walk away with a big cash prize.
As the saying goes, good things come in small packages.
"Small Fortune" will be co-produced by Universal Television Alternative Studio and entertainment studio Youngest Media, which created and produced the U.K. format. Lucas Church and David Flynn will serve as executive producers for Youngest Media alongside Michael Binkow, who will serve as executive producer and showrunner for the series. 




The big money going into drama means scripted grabs all the headlines in TV these days, but under the radar there's a surprising amount of innovation going on within unscripted entertainment, too.
At first glance, it seems like little has changed in that genre, as the list of top formats is familiar. Franchises such as "Dancing With the Stars," "Survivor," "American Idol" and "Got Talent" still draw in millions of live viewers around the world, despite each being well over a decade old. In the U.K., the latest installment of the country's most-popular format, "I'm a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here," was its most-watched ever — in its 18th season — and will debut in France later this year.
For many broadcasters, these tentpole shows remain reassuringly popular at a time when their business is being disrupted by the streamers. "The big brands are still attracting big audiences," says Vasha Wallace, Fremantle's executive vice president of global acquisitions and development. Y
et traditional broadcasters are still backing lots of new shows, aware that they can attract big live audiences. "The SVODs have forced everyone to up their game," says Wallace, arguing that "more innovation and risks" are being taken.


And ICYMI this past week.....


For one night only, Ryan Seacrest is abdicating his "American Idol" throne.
On Monday night's episode, radio host Bobby Bones fills in for Seacrest, who is out sick.
This is the first time Seacrest has missed a taping in the history of the show, a spokesperson for ABC, which airs "American Idol," confirmed.
"Welcome to 'American Idol.' Now, I am not Ryan Seacrest — I am Bobby Bones," Bones said in a preview. "Sadly, Ryan is sick, and I look most like him, so they asked me to fill his shoes tonight. Ryan, love you, buddy. Hope you get better."
The episode was taped weeks ago, so it's unclear what Seacrest was sick with at the time.
In exchange for the favor, Seacrest sent Bones a pair of sneakers for "filling his shoes" on "American Idol." In a clip from Bones' radio show posted to his Twitter account, Bones opened the gift and joked, "That's like saying, 'Hey, backup quarterback, we need you to jump in for Tom Brady real quick.'"
Seacrest has been the host of "American Idol" since it debuted in 2002, though for the singing competition's first season he shared hosting duties with Brian Dunkleman .He is also the host of morning radio show "On Air With Ryan Seacrest," and co-hosts "Live with Kelly and Ryan."
