Today is National Brave Day. On the fourth Friday in September, National BRAVE Day honors women who lift each other up, rescue each other and make each other BRAVE.
Sometimes just a flutter of encouragement comes in the form of timely guidance from another woman. Other times, groups of women provide the energy coordinated, thoughtful efforts for someone in need. Women empowering women.
Despite varied experiences and backgrounds, women come together across generations to support each other. These small tokens come in many forms. For example, a momentary reprieve over a cup of coffee during a hectic day makes all the difference. A well-written letter of recommendation for a job may change the course of a life. These small tokens strengthen a woman who may have undergone unspoken tragedy or struggles. The opportunities to empower sisters, friends, family, even a stranger are limitless. National BRAVE Day, seeks out tangible ways to encourage women to keep moving forward and to be BRAVE.
And now.......let's.......get wired!!!!!
A game show will begin filming in New Mexico. The production is a trivia show where players work their way up a money ladder either by answering questions correctly or by persuading others that they have the right answer.
The game show is produced by those behind some big Netflix shows like Nailed It! and Sugar Rush. Alan Carter who worked on The Voice is directing the show. The production will employ about 60 New Mexico crew members.
It's back...and beastier than ever. Follow six new singles as they strip away superficiality for a string of cheeky and charming costumed speed dates.
Netflix’s hot mess of a baking competition series “Nailed It!” debuts its sixth season Wednesday. In honor of the the show’s return, we spoke with judge and co-host Jacques Torres about how these amateur bakers could actually win the reality contest — even though most of them are predisposed to epic fails — by avoiding the “biggest mistake” he and co-host Nicole Byer have seen.
“We always have at least one baker, sometimes three bakers, that forget the clock,” Torres, who is known as Mr. Chocolate for his world-renowned confections, tells TheWrap. “This is the biggest mistake that they make, they forget the clock. They forget that an hour and a half, or an hour and 25 minutes, come to an end. So they will take their time at the beginning.”
He continued: “Also, what they do a lot of time, they don’t make a roadmap on their mind. They don’t think, ‘OK, during the time that’s baking, I will do that. When that done is ready and the cake is coming out, I’ll put that in the freeze. I’m making my buttercream, the cake needs to be cold to be put together.’ They really don’t think about the whole thing. And they kind of come up with things suddenly and forget it. So they will put buttercream — so they don’t remember butter melts — buttercream on top of a hot cake. So cakes collapse if you do that. Cakes are not cold and when put together then you have a catastrophe. And usually they don’t collapse when you do it, they collapse the last 10 minutes of the show. So that’s always very funny. And that’s, you know, all the time. So we have, six episodes, six pretty funny fails.”
And now, Great Moments in Bracket Live history!

With the 2020-21 season ending Sunday, Sept. 19, NBC won the key demo by 11% (1.0 vs. Fox's 0.9). In total viewers, NBC's win translates to approximately 33.6 million more hours watched than any broadcast competitor.
"In an era with no shortage of viewing options, the reach and impact of broadcast television is still undeniable," said Frances Berwick, Chairman, Entertainment Networks, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming, "NBC remains a pillar of strength both within our portfolio as well as the larger television landscape, and we're excited about the future as we continue to grow and connect our TV and streaming business."
Added Susan Rovner, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming's Chairman of Entertainment Content: "The distinction of Most Watched Network is a testament to the depth and quality of our programming, which continues to consistently deliver many of television's biggest hits, night after night and across all genres. NBC is honored to be in the top position with viewers and we plan to ride this momentum into the next 52 weeks with one of our most dynamic programming lineups to date."
NBC finished the season with the #1 primetime program in both 18-49 and total viewers ("Sunday Night Football"; 10th consecutive year as #1 in 18-49), the #1 entertainment program in 18-49 ("Saturday Night Live" for the first time ever), #1 drama in 18-49 ("This Is Us"; fifth year in a row as #1), and in total viewers the #1 unscripted show ("The Voice") and #1 summer program ("America's Got Talent"; 16th season in a row as most-watched summer unscripted program).
NBC has now won the 18-49 demo race seven out of the last eight seasons. In addition to the adults 18-49 win, the network was also #1 in several other demos - women 18-49, adults 25-54, men 25-54 and women 25-54.
Over this past summer, NBC won for the ninth consecutive year in 18-49 and the sixth consecutive year in total viewers for entertainment programming.
"The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" was summer's #1 late-night show in 18-49, topping both "Late Show with Stephen Colbert" and "Jimmy Kimmel Live."
Any quick-witted Tallahassee families looking for money or a new car?
The daytime game show "Family Feud" is searching for families for an upcoming episode, according to a Tuesday Facebook post on the show's official page.
There are some requirements: Families but consist of five members related by blood, marriage or adoption.
Additionally, participants must be U.S. citizens or have permission to work in the country. According to the show's website, those running for political office are not eligible.
Auditions will occur over Zoom and chosen families are eligible to win $100,000 and a brand new car.
This will not be the first time a Tallahassee family has appeared on the Steve Harvey-hosted show to guess the most popular answers in 100-person surveys.
In 2014, five sisters from Tallahassee made their television debut after their audition featuring a lip-sync of the Sister Sledge song "We Are Family," and a choreographed dance to Salt-N-Pepa's "Push It" won the hearts of producers.
