The Talking Through The Medias opening toss up story.
Congratulations are in order for history-making Jeopardy contestant Amy Schneider, from one high-earning woman to another.
On Christmas Eve, Schneider buzzed her way to victory yet again, bringing her total earnings to $706,800 and and catapulting her past writer and academic Larissa Kelly, who took to Twitter to praise Schneider for her victory.
"Well, it was fun to hold a Jeopardy record for a few years... but it's been even more fun to watch @Jeopardamy set new standards for excellence, on the show and off," Kelly wrote on Friday after Schenider clinched yet another victory. "Congratulations to Amy on becoming the woman with the highest overall earnings in the show's history!"
Kelly held the previous record of the highest-earning woman contestant on Jeopardy with a total of $655,930, which she achieved through regular season plays and tournament appearances.
Leading up to the holidays, Schneider continued her reign as champion, earning the fourth-highest winnings in regular-season play following Matt Amodio ($1,518,601), James Holzhauer ($2,462,216), and Ken Jennings ($2,520,700).
During Monday night's show, Schneider buzzed her way to her 19th consecutive victory, bringing her total earnings to $745,200. If she continues her domination through the New Year, it means she'll hit a 21-game winning streak and join Amodio, Holzhauer, and Jennings in the top four rankings.

Fox First Run has renewed four original programs, You Bet Your Life with Jay Leno, 25 Words or Less, Dish Nation and Divorce Court, announced Stephen Brown. These programs will continue to run on the Fox-owned stations through the 2022-2023 season.
In making the announcement, Stephen Brown, EVP of programming for Fox Television Stations, said: “Fox First Run’s main priority is to focus always on our audience first, by allowing them to appear, contribute, play and win. All of our programming both, present and ones in development, have two key elements — extensive interactivity and pure entertainment.”
Hosted by Jay Leno, You Bet Your Life debuted in September 2021 with the show’s trademark humorous interviews and unpredictable banter with each contestant, famously originated by Groucho Marx. Tonight Show band leader, Kevin Eubanks, shares hosting duties. FTS said the program is the youngest syndicated game show with the highest concentration of key demos among all game shows.
Currently, You Bet Your Life is cleared in all of the top 100 markets, as well as in Canada. Eighty percent of the 190 cleared markets have double runs and the program is primarily running in key early fringe and access time periods between 5 and 8 p.m. Tom Werner is executive producer, along with showrunner and executive producer, David Hurwitz.
Hosted and executive produced by Meredith Vieira, 25 Words or Less debuted as a preview show on the Fox Television Stations in August 2018, before going into syndication in fall 2019. The half-hour game show is cleared nationally in 98% of the country and is a collaboration of executive producers Lisa Kudrow, Dan Bucatinsky, Mary McCormack, Michael Morris, showrunner Michael Canter and Bruce Sterten. The show is produced by Dino Bones Productions and distributed by Fox First Run.

oogle’s Youtube TV announced Sunday that Disney-owned programming will return to the platform after some negotiations.
“We’re happy to share that we’ve reached an agreement with Disney to return their content to YouTube TV while preserving a $64.99/mo. price for our members. We have already started to restore access to Disney networks like ESPN and FX, including their live and on-demand content, as well as any recordings that were previously in your Library. We will also be turning on the local ABC stations over the course of the day,” said a statement from YouTube.
The restoration comes after Disney-owned channels, including ABC and ESPN, were yanked from YouTube TV Friday night.
Disney and Google were unable to reach a new carriage agreement, which YouTube addressed in a statement Friday: “We’ve held good faith negotiations with Disney for several months. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, we’ve been unable to reach an equitable agreement before our existing one expired, and their channels are no longer available on YouTube TV. We will be decreasing our monthly price by $15, from $64.99 to $49.99 while this content remains off of our platform.”
In Sunday’s announcement, YouTube added that the $15 discount is still in play, though it will be “a one-time credit for all impacted members.”
YouTube TV says it has around 4 million subscribers, similar to Hulu’s Live TV service. Both of those are far behind the major distributors like Comcast, AT&T and Spectrum, which have between 15 and 20 million paying customers.

EastEnders has launched a new online gameshow, Albert Squared, hosted by Walford star James Bye, with his co-stars as the contestants.
The weekly show on YouTube and the EastEnders Facebook page is billed as "an exciting mix of E20 trivia, hilarious games and a whole lot of laughs".
"In the first episode viewers will see Natalie Cassidy (Sonia) take up the role of captain for the Walford Warriors, alongside her co-stars Brian Conley (Rocky) and Gurlaine Kaur Garcha (Ash)," says the BBC.
"The East End Defenders are headed up by Tameka Empson (Kim), with Max Bowden (Ben) and Lacey Turner (Stacey) as her competitive teammates."
"I really enjoyed it," said host Bye, who plays Martin on the BBC soap. "I've never done anything like this before."
"We were told to have fun, have a laugh and show viewers what our relationships are like off-camera and that's exactly what we did," he added.
"There are ten episodes of us just having a giggle. It really lifted everyone's spirits when we needed it with all the news around at the moment just before Christmas and I hope that comes across on screen."

The upcoming 20th season of American Idol will be without Bobby Bones. Bones confirmed Friday on Instagram Stories that he’ll be ending his run on the ABC singing competition series after four seasons.
In a since-expired post, Bones revealed that because of conflict with another show, he won’t be on Idol this season.
“Some of you noticed I’m not in the Idol promos this season,” he wrote. “My contract [with] my new network won’t let me do another show right now. Love Idol, btw. Was a great 4 years.”
Bones has been with the ABC revival since Season 16, serving as a guest mentor for contestants. He became a full-time mentor the following season.

On the last day of 2021, we lost a game show queen. The great Betty White dead at 99. If she was alive today, she would've turned 100 which Bob Hope actually did years ago. How did GSN and Buzzr do it? by doing these............................................
#BettyWhite #BUZZRShe was connected to Allen Ludden and her friends who worked in game shows a long time. Although she only hosted one game show in 1983, the same year Plinko debuted to Price, she was a fixture to sitcoms as well. Let's pay tribute to her in the Game Show Live!....................
