Where were you in 1985? The Lakers beat the Celtics at Boston Garden, The KC Royals went all the way for a WS ring, Out of Africa was in theaters and a little show on CBS called "Press Your Luck" was already on the air. These 3 contestants knew when and how to play the game. But in 2020, they were invited back to face big bucks once again in Elizabeth's backyard and we find out in this video. Roll it Sinema!

After nearly two years spent waiting at the starting line, the 32nd running of The Amazing Race will hit your screens in mid-October — and here is your first look at the 11 teams, plus a promo that might tug at your pandemic-era heartstrings a bit.
Filmed back in November of the year 2018 (Rubik's Cubes and Easy-Bake Ovens were all the rage!), The Amazing Race 32 will premiere on CBS on Wednesday, Oct. 14 at 9/8c (after originally/briefly being slotted for this past May). With this edition, which visits destinations such as Trinidad, Tobago, France, Germany and Brazil, the Emmy-winning reality-TV competition will cross a major "miles"-stone, having traversed one million of 'em around the world.

Think of Fox's new series I Can See Your Voice as sort of the opposite of its Wednesday night predecessor, The Masked Singer.
Sure, the singing competition, which premieres after September 23's Season 4 launch of Masked Singer, is also "a hugely successful detective singing game show game that is from Korea, just like The Masked Singer," says executive producer Craig Plestis. And Masked Singer panelist Ken Jeong is involved, but that's where the similarities end.
On I Can See Your Voice, Jeong takes on the role of host as a group of panelists (called "detectives") who guess whether a singer is good or bad without them truly singing at all.
"If you can determine that correctly, [the contestants] can win big money," Plestis says of the $100,000 prize on the line. Between lip syncing, interrogations and clue packages, detectives Cheryl Hines (Curb Your Enthusiasm) and Adrienne Bailon-Houghton (who was the Flamingo in 2019 on The Masked Singer) as well as a rotating group of celeb singers — Donny Osmond, Nicole Scherzinger, Arsenio Hall, Niecy Nash, Kelly Osbourne — will try to guess the correct singers. The final singer chosen will get to sing (really well or horribly bad) with one of the guest detectives on that episode.
So how did it do? FOX (4.938 million viewers, #2; adults 18-49: 1.3, #1) shot to the top demo spot on Wednesday thanks to the season premiere of "The Masked Singer" (5.418 million viewers, #2; adults 18-49: 1.4, #1) and the debut of "I Can See Your Voice" (4.457 million viewers, #4; adults 18-49: 1.1, #T2).

No question about this........
BBC Studios-owned UKTV and Keshet are returning to the scene of a Richard Ayoade-hosted comedy game show after the original shoot was derailed by coronavirus.
Keshet Productions UK will record a run-through of Question Team at the Rich Mix cinema and arts center in London on Thursday, with Ayoade presiding over comedians in a quiz like no other, as the players themselves write the questions.
The run-through for UKTV channel Dave, which gave the world Taskmaster, was first slated to take place in March under the title Who's Asking? but the plans were put on hold amid the production shutdown across the UK.
Now, with studio comedy and entertainment shows back up and running, Keshet is forging ahead again and plans to film in front of a live audience for an informal run-through. It is not a pilot and the recording will not broadcast.

Japanese broadcaster Nippon TV and UK-based investor, distributor and producer The Story Lab are launching a new gameshow format into the international market.
9 Windows premiered on Nippon TV in Japan last week and the format is being shopped to the global market by The Story lab in time for the digital version of Mipcom next month.
The show is the first title to emerge from a co-development partnership between the two companies. It is described as a funny and fast-paced gameshow-meets-talent contest that celebrates ordinary people with outlandish skills.
Set in an interactive studio, each episode features nine contestants with unusual abilities, all beamed in from their home through 'nine windows' – giant studio screens. Across three rounds, the contestants compete for a cash prize by mesmerising a studio jury with their hidden talent – whether it's balancing any household object on top of another, using incredible knife skills to slice things into any shape or using 3D makeup to turn a woman's arm into a shockingly lifelike snake.
Nippon TV and The Story Lab first announced plans to enter into a co-development partnership in December 2019. The partnership is focused on creating original entertainment formats that are scalable and returnable across multiple territories. International distribution of all titles launched by the partnership is jointly managed by Nippon TV and The Story Lab.

The Gurin Company, run by Phil Gurin, whose credits include exec producing ABC's Shark Tank, has teamed with Jeremy Fox's format firm Action Time to bring back British entertainment format Game for a Laugh.
This comes after Fox relaunched Action Time, the formats firm that he ran after creating The Krypton Factor. Fox left DRG, the international distributor that he founded, in September 2018.
The Game for a Laugh reboot is the first Action Time project to emerge since he relaunched the company that he first started 40 years ago.
The show ran between 1981 and 1985 on the UK's ITV and revolved around a variety of practical jokes, pranks and studio games such as the Dunk Tank and Pie Chair.
The Gurin Company and Action Time, which back in the early 2000s worked on formats together including The Human Clock and Nation's Sexiest, are rebooting it with a new set, cast, new games and new practical jokes with guest celebrities.
Jeremy Fox, who developed and produced the original series, said, "2020 will go down as one of the most depressing years of the century so what's better than to bring back one of the most fun-filled series of the past?"
Phil Gurin added, "The opportunity to reinvent a classic comedy format like Game for A Laugh is so exciting. And thanks to current technologies, we can rely on unique production methods and the intricacies of social media to truly freshen for contemporary audiences. A show full of creative games and stunts and good-natured fun is what we all need right now." .
