The Double Toasted opening toss up story.
He used to do decent on his guest hosting stint on Jeopardy! earlier this year but now...........
LeVar Burton may not be the next host of Jeopardy!, but his love for quiz shows has landed him another gig: Trivial Pursuit.
The Star Trek and Reading Rainbow favorite will host a new Trivial Pursuit TV game show that is being produced by the game's maker Hasbro and its entertainment division Entertainment One.
A network is not yet attached. Burton’s involvement, however, should make the series easy to sell.
“LeVar Burton has been an iconic member of American pop culture for decades from Roots to Reading Rainbow to Star Trek and beyond. His love for intellectual curiosity paired with his ability to connect with audiences worldwide make him the perfect partner to bring Hasbro’s beloved trivia game to households in a new and exciting way,” said Tara Long, president of global unscripted television at eOne.
Burton will exec produce the series via his LeVar Burton Entertainment banner. Hasbro, which owns the rights to the iconic board game, will exec produce the series. EOne’s Long and Geno McDermott as well as LBE’s Sangita Patel will also be credited as exec producers.
“Trivial Pursuit is one of the best-known brands in the gaming universe. I am thrilled to have partnered with Hasbro and eOne to bring this beloved game to market as a premium show for television,” Burton said.
Trivial Pursuit is available in more than 26 countries in 17 languages. More than 100 million copies of the game have been sold worldwide since it was created in 1979. Multiple TV adaptations have come before the Burton-hosted edition, including one in the early 1990s that was hosted by Wink Martindale and a syndicated version that aired in 2008-09 and was hosted by Christopher Knight.

Tomorrow is the iconic Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and while you get up in the morning to see the cool floats and marching bands, it's time to find out who's striking up a chord and who is lip syncing. Hey, it happens EVERY year. It's the Yay & Yawn of November.
The Yay: The Newlywed Game. Buzzr makes the Newlywed game the 2nd non-Fremantle game next to Whew! to make the schedule.
The Yawn: Tug of Words. We were hoping for an actual physical game of Tug of War using real words but instead, it's just another entry into the "Let's make a GSN game show where there is a $10,000 cash prize and have something that's digital......." thing. But the bright side was Ahmad Rashad DID return to game shows. At age 71 when it taped.

Thanksgiving dinner courtesy of Grubhub. Tomorrrow, why cook something for hours when you can actually get something that takes half the time? Grubhub has many stores open for deivery and you can get whatever you want so you can have it for dinner. And who says having turkey can make you sleepy? Now back to the man who always hates sweet potatoe pie, Pierre Kelly!
Me: That and I hate beets. Oh wait, I like Beets. Anyways, we're back and I hope you survived the long lines at the supermarket like I have because it's like lunch at high school at last minute, but while you're stuck in line while the people ring up purchases for the fowl, there's podcasts to pass the time and that's why this next segment is called................

Michael Lombardo, eOne’s President of Global Television, said in an interview with Deadline that a Monopoly game show is in early stages of development for CBS.
“We have a Monopoly game show in development at CBS in addition to the feature adaptations in the works. It’s a great fun-time game which felt like it made sense as a game show. It is a moment right now where primetime games work,” the exec shared. “So, we’re continuing full-steam ahead in the Hasbro stuff and at the same time we’re trying to pace it out so we don’t go out all at once with everything. This is a long strategy, but Dungeons I think is the next big thing from that.”With similarities to reality shows like The Great British Bake Off and The Great Pottery Throw Down, Netflix's competition series Blown Away showcases the ins and outs of the fiery art of glassblowing.
The Monopoly brand has been adapted as a game show twice.
In 1990, ABC aired 13 episodes of "Monopoly" from Merv Griffin Entertainment with former "Jeopardy!" champion Mike Reilly hosting. The show blended the iconic board game with a word game/trivia format. The second game to bear the "Monopoly" name, "Monopoly Millionaires Club", was a national lottery tie-in game show from 2015 that blended game elements with games of chance. Billy Gardell hosted two seasons.

Channing Tatum and Steven Soderbergh want to help men rediscover their "magic."
The star and director of the original Magic Mike film are producers on a new HBO Max competition series, Finding Magic Mike, which assembles 10 men from across the country who feel like they've lost their, well, magic. The show puts these men through the wringer of a Magic Mike-style boot camp, where they learn sexy and daring dance routines in search of being crowned "the real Magic Mike." The winner receives a cash prize.
Tatum may have made those kinds of dances look easy in the two Magic Mike movies, but clearly there are growing pains involved.
The new trailer for Finding Magic Mike finds one guy getting his shirt stuck on his head in the middle of a strip tease, and others learning how to pull off dance moves. The most outrageous bit comes at the end, when one contestant starts unleashing his moves on an older woman on stage.
"Yo, that's somebody's grandma, bro!" Someone shouts at them.
All seven episodes of Finding Magic Mike land on HBO Max Dec. 16.

Fox’s music challenge series I Can See Your Voice returns soon, with a holiday special in December, and the Season 2 premiere to kick off the new year.
It all begins with the holiday special on Tuesday, December 14 at 8/7c. Joining host Ken Jeong and permanent panelists Cheryl Hines and Adrienne Bailon-Houghton are Debbie Gibson, Nicole Byer, and Paula Abdul. Then, as seen in a promo already out (and below), Jewel, Bow Wow, and Cheyenne Jackson will be appearing in the January 5 premiere.
In I Can See Your Voice, the panel of celebrity detectives help contestants tell the difference between good and bad singers, without ever hearing them sing a note. It’s up to the contestants to weed out the bad “Secret Voices” from the good, based on clues, interrogation, and lip synch challenges. In the end, the singer chosen by the contestant performs a duet with a top musical star to reveal if they can sing.
And in Season 2, there are a couple new game play elements. Each episode features a “Golden Mic” celebrity that the contestant can call on to give their opinion on one of the secret voices without having heard the opinions from the rest of the panel. Plus, each round is now worth $15,000 instead of $10,000, so each correct guess that the contestant makes for a bad singer can win them $15,000 along the way.

And I can see a Mistplay Game Break. Here;s a question about Thanksgiving food.
According to Bestlifeonline.com, what is the worst ranked thanksgiving day food?
It's not turkey. Obviously. But we'll give you a video to watch as we end Nan-November while you think. Christa Nannos is a fighter to lyme disease and even though it's an invisble illness, she took it to heart last year in a trailer. So......let's watch.
And now.....Let's Get Cereal. Starring everyone's favorite Daytime TV Disher, Alyssa Marino.
That's it for this week, today's consolation prize is a ruler used by teachers whenever you get slapped by a student in school. Overworked, underpaid and discliplined. They put the A in everything they do to work hard. Enjoy the break, teachers because the first semester is nearly over.
