“The Masked Singer” is taking a week off while the Word Series takes over Fox — but that doesn’t mean the oddball singing competition’s party has stopped.
In a new Halloween-themed promo for the coming Season 2 episodes, which is exclusive to TheWrap, some of the remaining contestants get in the spooky spirit.
So far, the eliminated contestants from Season 2 include The Skeleton (revealed to be Paul Shaffer), The Eagle (Dr. Drew), The Panda (Laila Ali), The Egg (Johnny Weir) and The Ice Cream (Tyler “Ninja” Blevins). And here are the remaining competitors: The Flower, The Black Widow, The Leopard, The Flamingo, The Butterfly, Thingamajig, The Rotteweiler, The Ladybug, The Penguin, The Fox and The Tree.
“Collectively, all of the Season 2 undercover celebrities have amassed 69 Emmy Award nominations, 42 Grammy Award nominations, 22 Broadway shows, three New York Times best-sellers and two have been named Time magazine’s Most Influential People,” according to Fox.

A woman wanted for allegedly cheating a 66-year-old Redwood City woman out of her home in a reverse mortgage scam appeared on the game show “Deal or No Deal” and won $400,000 before getting arrested, a prosecutor said.
Tonika Miller, 34, of Studio City, appeared on an episode of “Deal or No Deal” that aired on June 12. Miller told host Howie Mandel that she loves playing the board game Monopoly with her family and that she plans to go all-in just like she does with her family.
Ultimately, Miller won $400,000 and a 2018 Chrysler Pacifica on the game.
After winning, Miller told CNBC that she plans to create a nonprofit that provides low-cost housing for homeless veterans and the elderly.
“Growing up in poverty can make you live according to how you think you’re going to survive or how you’re going to get by. But because I had a childhood where I had to grow up fast and be responsible fast, it’s going to help me appreciate this experience like 10 times more,” Miller told CNBC.
Miller was arrested over the summer, after which authorities learned about Miller’s TV appearance, said District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
“She knew the cops were looking for her. It’s kind of ballsy to hop on a game show,” Wagstaffe said.
Actor was involved
Miller was wanted in San Mateo County at the time of her “Deal or No Deal” appearance in connection to a scam she and actor Justin Hall, 37, of Van Nuys, allegedly pulled on a 66-year-old woman.
The scam is believed to have begun on July 23, 2018, just a few weeks before the tax collector was to auction the victim’s home. That day Miller took the woman to Applebee’s, bought her two margaritas and then offered her a $500,000 reverse mortgage, according to Wagstaffe.
The reverse mortgage, Miller told the woman, would allow her to live on the property until she died. When the woman agreed, Miller gave her $1,000 in cash and had her sign a grant deed in favor of Rex Regum LLC, which is owned by Hall, Wagstaffe said.
The deed claims that the woman was paid $800,000 for her home, but she says that she never received the money, nor did she know what she was signing at Applebee’s. Hall recorded the deed on July 23, 2018, and paid off the late property taxes.
County employee had a suspicion
But something looked suspicious. An employee in the county Recorder’s Office noticed that the $800,000 was far below the market value of the house, which was assessed to be between $1.5 million to $1.7 million. So the recorder’s office contacted the DA to look into the situation.
DA’s Inspector Dave Wilson interviewed Miller about her role in the transaction. A few days after that initial interview, Miller told Wilson that she “cleared everything up” with the victim.
Miller “cleared everything up” by giving the victim another $1,000, according to the DA.
On Aug. 22, 2018, Hall sold the property to someone else for $997,000.
On Aug. 31, 2018, Miller went to the woman’s house with a U-Haul and tried to get her to move out, said Wagstaffe. Miller brought a real estate agent with her to help the woman find a new home in Auburn.
However, the real estate agent became suspicious of Miller and called the Redwood City police.
Officers came to the home and ordered Miller to leave, according to the DA’s office.
‘Star Trek’ role
Hall was arrested earlier this year, and it was discovered that he has a Hollywood background, serving as a producer of a Dave Chapelle special and performing in a “Star Trek” movie.
Hall had a career as an actor, stuntman and producer from 2002 to 2009, according to his IMDB page. He had bit parts in the 2009 Star Trek “The Future Begins” movie as a Starfleet security officer, and was an extra in “Dreamgirls,” “Akeelah and the Bee,” “The Terminal” and “Coach Carter.”
Hall also did stunts for movies such as “The Italian Job,” the 2008 “Incredible Hulk” and “Spider-Man 3.”
Hall was a producer for Dave Chappelle’s TV Special “For What it’s Worth,” his IMDB page states.
One’s jailed, the other bailed
Hall is out of jail on a $1.1 million bail bond and Miller is in jail in lieu of $300,000. Both are slated to appear in court on Nov. 22.


The makers of The Great British Bake Off — known as The Great British Baking Show in the U.S. — have cut a joke about diabetes from the most recent episode following a backlash after it aired in the UK.
Love Productions, which is owned by Comcast-backed Sky, has snipped the gag from repeats of the Channel 4 show. Deadline also understands that the joke has been removed from the same episode that will be available on Netflix in the U.S. imminently.
During the season 10 semi-final, which broadcast on Tuesday, judge Paul Hollywood said a contestant’s Chelsea Buns looked like “diabetes on a plate.” The comment upset diabetics on social media, who said it reinforced the myth that diabetes can be brought on by eating too much sugar.
Charity Diabetes UK tweeted: “We’ve been in touch with the producers and @Channel4 to explain how remarks like this can lead to misunderstanding, and be upsetting for people affected by diabetes.”
Hollywood apologized for the remark on Instagram, saying it was “thoughtless.” Diabetes UK added that Love Productions is going to share with its staff advice on how to talk about the condition to avoid a similar incident in the future.

The “Dancing with the Stars” Season 28 finale will be on Monday, Nov. 25, but, sadly, it will be a one-night affair yet again.
Tom Bergeron revealed the news on Thursday, sharing with his Twitter followers a charity auction to win tickets to the finale taping to benefit the ACLU of Southern California. When a fan brought to his attention that the auction page lists the finale date as Thursday, Nov. 28 — aka Thanksgiving — Bergeron cleared the air.
“Yeah, thanks for catching that. The Finale is on the 25th,” he wrote. “The 28th is reserved for awkward conversations with extended family members. And overeating. ðŸ˜‰”
Doing his due diligence, the same fan then asked for confirmation that it will be a one-night finale, to which Bergeron replied in the affirmative.

Replying to @Tom_Bergeron
So only a 1 night final again 😢


Tom Bergeron
✔@Tom_Bergeron
Yup


The date is not a surprise since, as we previously noted, in the fall, “Dancing” usually concludes the week of Thanksgiving. The length of the finale, however, was up in the air. Not counting the four-week “Athletes” installment, “Dancing,” even after it lost its results show in Season 17, had two-night finales until last season, when it was downgraded to one. One of the big changes this year was the introduction of live voting every episode, so the one-night finale means that fans in the Mountain and Pacific time zones won’t get to watch the dances and then vote even once this season.
The other major finale question we don’t yet have an answer to is the number of finalists. As we pointed out, if the show does a double elimination, three couples will enter the final on Nov. 25, but if it remains single eliminations from here on out, four couples will head into the last battle.

The World formerly belonging to Bobby

Howie Mandel's rise from Toronto carpet salesman to Hollywood personality is getting the documentary treatment.
Canadian filmmaker Barry Avrich says he's begun work on a full-length project that will chart Mandel's unlikely career trajectory, which spans movies, TV game shows and an animated series.






Avrich says he intends to follow Mandel for roughly a year as he performs stand-up shows, launches new projects and spends time with his family.
He'll begin shooting Howie's World: The Howie Mandel Project, as it's tentatively titled, next month for a planned release in 2021.
The documentary is part of a three-film production deal between Avrich, Bell Media and Canada's Walk of Fame, which focuses on non-fiction projects that celebrate successful Canadians in the arts.

On Monday evening, with a dramatic pop of a robot helmet, one-time teen-pop sensation Cody Simpson became Australia's first winner of TV singing show, The Masked Singer.
And to answer your first question, yes, Miley Cyrus knew the result.
"I just told her because I had to tell her I was coming down here to do press for the final," says Simpson, 22, of his fresh love interest, a pairing currently pored over by gossip columnists the world over. "She's not a stranger to the game-show scene; she was a judge on The Voice back in the day so it's all cool."
Network 10's weekly ratings-topper has been a phenomenon, earning around 1 million viewers per episode outside a mid-season lull; a triumphant feat in a TV landscape that's largely ignored newborn formats. Monday's finale saw almost 1.88 million viewers tune in nationally for the winner's reveal, with 1.37 million from the five metro cities.

The Swan By Jury

Love Island host Caroline Flack is to present Channel 4 format The Surjury as the producers prep a U.S. remake of the Gobstopper Television series.
The gig is a boon for Flack, who is best known for presenting the ITV2 reality dating format and has presented shows such as The X Factor. It is her first series for C4. The series, produced by Greenbird-backed Gobstopper Television, has wrapped filming in Manchester, where a 12-strong jury of the public must decide if people get the cosmetic surgery they’ve always dreamed of.
From bum-lifts to nose jobs, sculpted abs to breast enlargements, The Surjury allows people to explore their choices more thoroughly, and to take measured advice from their peers, some of whom may previously have gone under the knife themselves and will happily hold court on the subject.
Flack will introduce those wanting the surgery to the Jury, sharing facts about the procedures and the cosmetic surgery that they are requesting.
The Surjury was commissioned by Channel 4 Factual Entertainment Commissioning Editor Becky Cadman with Ross McCarthy and Sharyn Mills as exec producers. It is expected to air early next year.
Flack said, “I’m over the moon to be hosting this exciting brand new show and my first for Channel 4.”
McCarthy called the show a “totally new way of doing peer to peer advice”.
Deadline understands that Gobstopper Television is also filming a U.S. pilot of the format.
The series has already become controversial in the UK, with MPs grilling Channel 4 CEO Alex Mahon about it in a select committee hearing. But she said, “This is not intended to be exploitative and tawdry but is bringing to the fore an important issue in society today.”

The pop culture-inspired “game show” Billy on the Avenue might have closed its collection run on truTV however Netflix is offering followers one thing to breathe about as all 4 seasons are about to change into prepared for streaming!
