The Double Toasted opening toss up story.
He has done video games. Assisted game show legend Pat Finn. ANd was once a talking platypus. I'm talking of course about Dee Bradley Baker.
Dee Bradley Baker will make his return to Legends of The Hidden Temple, more than 20 years since the original series’ first run. Baker is set to reprise his role as the voice of Olmec in the upcoming reboot for The CW. The reimagining of the popular ’90s show hails from Stone & Company, which produced the original series that ran on Nickelodeon for three seasons between 1993-1995.
Set to debut October 10 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on The CW, the adult version will preserve many of the original show elements including Moat Crossings, The Steps of Knowledge and the Temple Run as well as the team names such as Purple Parrots, Blue Barracudas, Orange Iguanas, Red Jaguars, Silver Snakes and Green Monkeys. Every episode is a hero’s journey through a mysterious jungle. Four teams begin the journey, but only one is “strong enough and smart enough” to enter the ominous Olmec’s Temple, avoid the “dreaded” Temple Guards, retrieve a lost treasure, and return it to its rightful owner.
Baker’s Olmec was a giant talking Mayan head that served as the series’ most recognizable symbol. Olmec made announcements, explained various challenges and asked tiebreaker questions in various episodes of the original series. Baker joins Cristela Alonzo, who will host the reboot.
“When we asked Dee Bradley Baker to return as the one and only Olmec – our giant talking stone head, and he said, ‘Let’s Rock,’ that was all I had to hear…Olmec lives,” said executive producer Scott Stone.
Based on the original game show created by David G. Stanley, Scott A. Stone and Stephen R. Brown, Legends of the Hidden Temple is produced by Stone & Company Entertainment and Nickelodeon. The series is executive produced by Scott A. Stone and Marcus Fox.

This is the part of the show in which I get to talk about something you listen to other than music. it's..................
Podcasts......you should listen to.
Spending most of their past lives doing pub trivia and watching game shows, the husband & wife musical duo consisting of Tyler and Emma Millard forn The Ghosts of Liberty hosts this program. Is it about people with inventions? No. It's actually a follow along while you listen podcast. Everyone takes their paper and pencil or pen, not crayon, out for something unique and kind. 16 questions, but only 4 of them per section. After 4 questions, link up the 4 answers for the idea, then the same for the next 3 sections. Once you got them all figured out, you say to yourself.......what's the Big Idea? That's what the podcast is about. Since they can't answer after a question is asked, a little musical pause will help you get the answer or you can pause the mobile device or computer to make sure you need some reference for it. Need more trivia? There's this Twitter page:

Knock, knock! The series premiere of Jason Biggs' hilarious game show Jason Biggs' Cash at Your Door officially kicks off on Tuesday, Aug. 31 at 11 p.m., right after the season two return of Celebrity Game Face hosted by Kevin Hart, and E! News can exclusively reveal the first look promo in the link below.
Biggs teamed up with the producers behind Cash Cab to host and executive produce Cash At Your Door, surprising unsuspecting families with a chance to win major cash prizes from the comfort of their homes. Over the course of three trivia rounds, families will have to work together to answer diverse trivia questions for a shot at $25,000. Even a few celebrity guests like former MLB All-Star CC Sabathia, THe Real Housewives of New Jersey's Dolores Catania and Million Dollar Listing New York's Ryan Serhant will swing by to help out contestants.
"You might want to answer to the door," a money bag-wielding Biggs jokes in the teaser trailer.
The Cash At Your Door host exclusively told E! News in Feb. 2021 that he has adored game shows for years. "I grew up watching game shows, and I feel like game shows are having a wonderful moment right now," the former Cherries Wild star explained. "And so much of the television that I watched currently, when I'm able to get away from my kids, is game shows."

Fox is heading down the mouse trap for its latest reality competition series.
The network is developing a physical non-scripted format based on Hasbro’s classic board game Mouse Trap with eOne. It is the latest competition format in the works from Rob Wade’s unscripted division, which is behind series including Lego Masters and Mental Samurai.
The series will pit contestants against one another as they navigate larger-than-life obstacles re-created from the game. Through a series of demanding challenges requiring the utmost physical and mental endurance, each episode will culminate with its final round, with the last players standing working together to steal as much cheese as possible while risking capture by the iconic Mouse Trap. The more they steal, the more money they’ll win.
Tara Long, Matt Walton, Matt Prichard and Mark Herwick of eOne are exec producing the project, which comes as the Hasbro-owned TV and film producer steps up its development of IP based on its parent company.

Hey, hop to this!
Damon Wayans Jr. (Happy Endings, New Girl) will hop over to Peacock to host the streamer’s Frogger, a competition series based on the Konami arcade game from the ’80s.
The competition series will feature a variety of obstacle courses or “crossings.” The physically demanding challenges will see contestants dodge treacherous traffic, leap over snapping gators and hop over hungry hippos to conquer the course. Contestants from across the country will test their talent in a competition requiring skill, strength, strategy and problem-solving smarts. The contestant who proves to be “America’s finest Frogger” will win the grand prize of $100,000.
Also joining Wayans Jr. in hosting duties is Kyle Brandt (NFL’s Good Morning Football), who will serve as co-host.
In February, Peacock ordered 13 hour-long episodes of the competition series. Konami introduced Frogger in 1981 and the arcade title has remained one of the most classic and beloved video game franchises of all time with a library spanning more than 30 titles across various platforms.
Frogger, based on the Konami-owned IP, is produced by Eureka Productions in partnership with Konami Cross Media NY, Inc. Chris Culvenor and Paul Franklin will executive produce for Eureka Productions, and Eden Gaha and Fred Birckhead. The Frogger competition show is an original format created by Chris Culvenor of Eureka Productions.

Ant and Dec are reportedly working on a brand new big-money game show. The pair are said to be developing the new project through their production company, which also makes Saturday Night Takeaway, Our DNA Journey and In For A Penny.
The Sun reports that the series is set to be titled Fortune Favors The Brave and will air on ITV. There's no word on whether Ant & Dec will appear on screen as presenters or just remain as part of the production team.
"Ant, Dec and the team behind this new show are keeping all the details under wraps for now," a source explained. "But it promises to be another sure-fire hit for the lads. Whether they host it or not remains to be seen.
"But either way, it’s very much the lads’ baby and they’ll put their all into making it a success."
The insider added that the format would offer a "unique twist" with teams of two contestants set to compete for a huge cash prize.
Filming is slated to begin in the autumn with the show planning to debut in 2022.

Welcome to Game Show 101. Where we learn things from game shows, reality shows and everything else in the whole wide world.
Today, Lottery game shows. It is actually like them?
Ever since the 1970s, I believe, lottery game shows are like this. Everybody goes to the store, picks a lottery ticket for a new game show coming from the lottery, scrtach 3 or more TV signs and you're in the running for a lottery game show. Most of them ntil we got around to the mid 90's consisted of picking something and getting something. Players of 4-7 played around for big money like WGN's $100,000 Fortune Hunt and WEWS' Cash Explosion. But when Jonathan Goodson took over, he visualized the concept from working on TPiR and getting Steve Ryan to help with the games for Illinois Instant Riches, Mass Lottery's Bonus Bonanza, NY Wired for New York Lottery among others. Some copied it into another format and after Sande Stewart wrapped up Sports on Tap, he did Fun & Fortune up in Missouri and those games later created Powerball Instant Millionaire in which he also prodcued it. Prior to that, Powerball The Game Show was done by Bob Eubanks and Debbie James as host. Both of those had 2 seasons in syndication. Out in California, The Big Spin was a longtime staple until 2009 until Make Me a Millionaire was just another copycat of Florida Lottery's Flamingo Fortune's 2nd format. The most recent in syndication was Monopoly Millionaires Club, which brough the board game back into the game show world and used DOND's producers to make it work in 2 seasons time. Today, lottery game shows of the past were favorites in the local affilate's history especially in the state and regions. Cash Expolsion up in Ohio is still going strong despite a new look and many Buckeye state natives still play....from their houses since the pandemic began. Isn't it neat?
