Me: I thank you so darn much Colbi. Today is a day game shows still exist. We remember the times in which fashion and the style of the hosts made it easy. Times have changed as we went from dresses and suits to a typical come dressed as you are church service. It doesn't matter if you wore war paint like the sweaters on Trivia Trap or getting ready to wage war on the yellow or red side on Fun House or trying to make sure 30 days on the island is the pathway to a million dollars on Survivor. We're here to have a whole lot of fun. United by legends of the past, upbringing a future of variety to give you a genre watched by many. #togetherwewatch

The 34th running of the The Amazing Race will feature several franchise firsts — beginning with the introduction of an international starting line.
When the veteran CBS reality competition returns on Wednesday, Sept. 21 (now airing at a later time, 10/9c) with its milestone 400th episode, 12 globe-trotting teams will travel to Munich, Germany to begin the race.
Season 34 is also doing away with non-elimination legs. "With one team being eliminated at the end of every leg, it will be one of the most grueling races in the show's history," according to the official release. Additionally, "teams will be in for a surprise when host Phil Keoghan teases a game-changing element in the first leg of the race."
Featured locations this season include Austria, Italy, France, Spain, Iceland and Nashville. Racers will also visit the ancient city of Petra, in Jordan, "where teams will ride a train and experience a scene reminiscent of the 1963 Oscar-winning film Lawrence of Arabia, perform a Jordanian folk dance and learn the Arabic alphabet."
The cast, which was first revealed Wednesday, includes Big Brother 23 couple Derek Xiao and Claire Rehfuss, New York Jets head coach-turned-ESPN analyst Rex Ryan, and a pair of long-lost twins.

Mattel's "Pictionary," hosted by Jerry O'Connell, is set to premiere nationally on September 12, 2022. After a successful test run last summer, the series rolls out nationwide as O'Connell hosts the family favorite game show, based on Mattel's popular board game of quick sketches and hilarious guesses.
The broadcast version of "Pictionary" will follow the same rules of at-home play. Celebrity captains, including Amanda Seales, Loni Love, Cristela Alonzo, Ross Mathews, Amanda Kloots, Akbar Gbajabiamila, Natalie Morales, and more, lead two teams of three as players draw clues for teammates to guess winning words or phrases. The 30-minute national daytime series is produced by Fox First Run as well as Bill's Market and Television Production and distributed by CBS Media Ventures (CMV).
The show will air on Fox-owned stations in major markets, among other stations nationwide. Check local listings in your area.
"It's exhilarating to be part of such an iconic tradition and to bring this beloved franchise to the daytime landscape," O'Connell said. "Growing up, this was a family favorite and something I continue to share with my kids today. It's a great privilege to help expand the reach of the experience, engaging contestants and fans of the game on a national scale."
Arguably one of the busiest men in television, O'Connell adds "Pictionary" to a robust array of high-profile projects. He returns to host "The Talk" this fall and will host CBS' reality romance adventure series, "The Real Love Boat," premiering October 5th at 9 p.m. ET, with his wife, Rebecca Romijn.
"Pictionary" is executive produced by David Hurwitz, Noah Bonnett and Richard Brown. Fred Soulie, SVP & GM of Mattel Television and Phil Breman, VP Live-Action, serve as Co-Executive Producers for Mattel.

The competition brings the heat (thanks to the pressure of the surprise) and starts off with with a star-ingredient themed cooking round. Jackson will then take to the streets to find a panel of six individuals to blindly taste the dishes. To even the playing field, the home chef has to receive only one vote to win a $5,000 prize.

"This series is the ultimate in wish-fulfillment for the Food Network fan who suddenly becomes the star of the show," Jane Latman, president of Home & Food Content and Streaming at Warner Bros.

In 'Outchef'd,' we truly put that to the test and give these talented cooks a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to compete against a superstar chef."
The all-new cooking competition series will premiere on the network and discovery+ on Sept. 27 with two back-to-back episodes.
