Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, still stuck in the house like I am, this is.....

Pierre Kelly still stuck at the Rock House in Grimsborough and by the time we get back to the office hopefully next month, we'll give you the perfect way to get your news as our researchers feed me stories while remotely in their own houses. Enough of all this boredom, let's get some positivity starting with......



The Double Toasted opening Toss up story.

Bobby Bones is livening up fans' self-quarantines with the premiere of his game show, Super Easy Trivia. The show airs on Bones' IGTV, YouTube Channel and Facebook every Tuesday and Friday at 10:00am CT and features special guests including celebrities, Bones' friends and The Bobby Bones Show listeners. Guests have included Jake Owen, Andy Roddick, Travis Denning and more, and each guests video chats in from their homes to play. The show is hosted by Bones and is formatted in multiple knock-out rounds of "easy" rapid-fire trivia and the final contestant earns themselves $100.

"I've always loved game shows and thought this would be a fun way for us all to connect while we're home and take a break from the nonstop tough news we're constantly being given," Bones said in a statement. "Share with your friends and join us!"

Bones started the show on April 3, and the third episode on Friday, April 10 includes Rascal Flatts' Jay DeMarcus, Denning, Matt Jones from Kentucky Sports Radio, several of Bones' friends and a few listeners. "This is the newest, hottest game show sweeping the Internet," Bones said during the most recent episode's intro. "So new and so hot that Leonardo DiCaprio has already tried to date it. I'm your host and I may be wearing a suit on the top half, but trust me friends, I'm full Winnie the Pooh from here down," he continued, pointing to his waist and describing the situation of the majority of people taking Zoom calls while working from home.

Each episode is between 15 and 20 minutes long and is the perfect amount of time to get your brain moving during the long days of quarantine, with questions including "What breed of dog is commonly associated with firehouses" and "If you wanted to make syrup, what kind of tree would you tap." When a contestant missed a question, Bones let her stay in the game if she revealed an embarrassing fact about herself. Bones chooses a few lucky listeners to participate along with his friends and celebrities through email — he asks fans to send in an email on his Instagram Story on Tuesdays and Fridays to choose the contestants for what he calls "The easiest and dumbest game show on the internet." Try your hand at entering or play along from home — Friday's episode is above and the next one will be here on Tuesday.

Social distancing takes it to Netflix with this one.....

It's hard to put a price on self-control, but $100,000 is a decent place to start.

That's the cash prize up for grabs on Netflix's upcoming reality dating experiment Too Hot to Handle, whose eight-episode first season drops on Friday, April 17.

Here's the skinny: Ten smokin' hot singles from all across the globe come together in paradise for what they think is going to be the sexiest summer of their lives — only to discover that money is deducted from the group's final pot for every sexual encounter that goes down. Yes, that includes kissing.

Naturally, the whole shebang is hosted by an Alexa-like machine named Lana, who throws just as many wrenches into the game as the cheeky, unsuspecting players.

With one week until the show's premiere, Netflix has released the first official trailer, which offers a glimpse at the action. (Remember the rules!) As you'll see, some of the contestants are committed to keeping it zipped, while others' loose lips threaten to sink everyone's ship.

VH1 today announced that "RuPaul's Secret Celebrity Drag Race," an expansion of the Emmy(R) award-winning franchise, will premiere on Friday, April 24th at 9:30pm ET/PT following an all-new episode of "RuPaul's Drag Race."

"Untucked" will move to 11:00pm ET/PT to make room for the fierce stars. During this four-part event series, the audience must tune-in to find out which film, music, television, and comedy stars will be featured in the competition.

Each week, a trio of celebrities open up their heart and mind to the transformative power of drag, embracing the inner fierce queen inside of them. They all step onto the runway feeling beautiful, powerful and inspired in their own way, realizing that drag doesn't change who they are, but reveals who they are.

With the help of beloved "Queen Supremes" Alyssa Edwards, Asia O'Hara, Bob the Drag Queen, Kim Chi, Monét X Change, Monique Heart, Nina West, Trinity the Tuck, Trixie Mattel and Vanessa Vanjie Mateo, the celebrities undergo a drag transformation and compete in fan-favorite challenges to win prize money for the charity of their choice. At the end of every episode, RuPaul will crown "America's Next Celebrity Drag Race Superstar."

"RuPaul's Secret Celebrity Drag Race is a blast," said four-time Emmy(R) Award-winning host and Executive Producer RuPaul. "We put these celebrities through it! Because no matter how famous your charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent is, you still put your pantyhose on one leg at a time."

CBS announced today the three-hour season finale of SURVIVOR: WINNERS AT WAR will air Wednesday, May 13 (8:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. One week later, the new season of THE AMAZING RACE will premiere with a two-hour episode on Wednesday, May 20 (8:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT). THE AMAZING RACE assumes its regular Wednesday (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) time period on May 27.

"When SURVIVOR wraps one of its best seasons ever in May, we're excited to schedule another signature reality series, THE AMAZING RACE, to step seamlessly into the time period," said Noriko Kelley, Executive Vice President, Program Planning & Scheduling, CBS Entertainment.

On the 40th season finale of SURVIVOR: WINNERS AT WAR, following an epic 39-day battle, host Jeff Probst will crown one castaway the winner who will take home the $2 million prize, the largest in reality show history, and earn the title of Sole Survivor for the second time. During the finale, Jeff will also virtually connect by video with all 20 players to discuss the highlights of the season. Prior to the finale, SURVIVOR will have a special two-hour penultimate episode, Wednesday, May 6 (8:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT).

On the season premiere of THE AMAZING RACE, 11 new teams will begin their journey of a lifetime when host Phil Keoghan kicks off the 32nd edition from the iconic Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. This season's destinations include Trinidad and Tobago, France, Germany, Kazakhstan and Brazil, among others. The team that crosses the finish line first will be crowned the winners and receive the $1 million prize.

This edition was filmed prior to the outbreak of the recent global pandemic.

Now for something to lay ears on.

Endeavor Content and production company Keller/Noll launched "Factorious" on Tuesday, a game show podcast led by television host Matt Iseman. The trivia series offers contestants clues and relevant facts to win cash prizes, with guidance from Iseman, of "American Ninja Warrior," and a previous winner himself of "The Celebrity Apprentice." He's a four-time Emmy nominee, "Today" contributor and the host of "Live Rescue" on A&E, about first responders.

Endeavor Content serves as executive producer alongside Cleve Keller and Dave Noll, who are behind projects as the "Chopped" franchise on Food Network, CBS syndication's "Face the Truth," Fox's "Punchline" and the game show "America Says." The company recently reached 3,300 episodes of produced content.

A+E Networks' canine competition America's Top Dog has been optioned in the UK and Ireland by Two Rivers Media.

America's Top Dog premiered last year on A&E in the U.S., with four police K9 teams competing against a civilian team on a big obstacle course each episode for the title of Top Dog.

The show was created by MGM's Big Fish Entertainment and hosted by Fox NFL Sunday's Curt Menefee and former Secret Service member Nick White.

Two Rivers Media, run by former STV Productions boss Alan Clements, will take the show out to UK broadcasters. Its option was supported by the National Lottery through Screen Scotland's Broadcast Content Fund.

Mirella Breda, Two Rivers' head of entertainment, said: "As soon as we saw America's Top Dog, we knew that this was a fresh and exciting way to celebrate the unique bond between dogs and their owners. I can see why it's been such a huge hit in the States – it's got that magic combination of high octane challenges and big emotional stories."

Robyn Hurd, VP of content sales EMEA at A+E Networks International, added: "We are so excited to be working with the wonderful team at Two Rivers and excited to bring Top Dog to screens in the UK and Ireland.

So, what was the answer?

 Ah yes, before Scooby Doo and his gang ever existed.


Last month, I awarded TipsyTune the Twitchhead of the month award. Ever since he has the imaginary plaque hanging on the wall, there were many people when the pandemic arrived decided to jump on the bandwagon. Many have seemed to notice the viewer count went up because of his hilarity and decided to scrap the childhood games and let Jackbox be his vehicle. Gaining towards the possible partner push, one of the greatest moments happened.

@playjackboxgames you made my night last night on a night that was already amazing! Thank you so much! Doing an 8 hour Jackbox stream in their honor at 12pm EST with tons of giveaways today! ... #twitch #twitchaffiliate #jackboxgames #giveaway #humblebundle #thankful

TipsyTune shared a post on Instagram: "@playjackboxgames you made my night last night on a night that was already amazing! Thank you so..." * Follow their account to see 284 posts.

Ever since that happened, viewer averages slightly went up. But that didn't stop there. This also happened.

Got raided by an incredible man with an incredible community last night. Thank you for helping my dream to be a Twitch Partner that much closer last night @wallstreetbooyah you really made my night, cheers 🍺 ... #twitch #twitchaffiliate #spy180 #colorblind

And he's not stopping, y'all. Look for him on twitch, search TipsyTune and when he goes live......you come to get down and get funny and stupid and wild and crazy as he continues his ultimate goal.




One more story. Have you ever always wanted to be a repeat offender on a game show? Well, some of them have but one person is also making rounds when he does live mobile trivia like most of us.

Back in 2017, Tony Harrison appeared on Wheel of Fortune.  When he won, he went to the bonus round when they gave him a category gaffe that might've mixed up a little. 3 years later, he came back by the discretion of the producers and got his revenge with 9k in cash and a trip. It proves that it's much better the second time around.


Closing Theme

That's it for this week. Today's consolation prize is  a go kart that you race on.  And I even got through it without the N word. What did I win?


Don't forget to email me at kellypierre8@gmail.com, coppockonsports@yahoo.com, Pierre Jason Kelly on FB and @Johnny_Arcade on twitter. Also I'm on Snapchat as MisterGSN and Instagram as MrJackbox. 

As we get out of here, let's end with Lauren and Nathan Ondracek giving a shout out to the medical staff from across America to help out during the Covid-19 crisis. They're not here to give you hospital food which IMO is the best since school but to cure Covid-19 patients in a life or death situation.  Remember, we're all in the same gang. I love you.
