Me:Welcome everybody to Game Show Live! where we get lit and get involved. Let's kick it off with......


The  Talking Through The Medias opening toss up story.



It's the beginning of an entirely new and different story. However, GSN thinks their originals mentality is the same old story thanks to a brand new show called "Switch" and they got a new host.



Game Show Network, the leader in game shows and competitive entertainment, has announced actor Jeff Hephner as host of its quick-moving trivia game show, SWITCH. The first season of the half-hour original series will premiere early 2023.

In SWITCH, five players begin the game by taking positions behind large numbers from 1 to 5. After a trivia question is asked, players with correct answers move towards the number 1 spot, and players with incorrect answers move towards the number 5 spot. The goal of the game is to finish the third round of questions in the number 1 position, thus winning the game and earning the right to play the bonus round for $10,000.

Recognized for starring opposite Jennifer Garner in the film "Peppermint" and his action-packed roles in "For All Mankind" and "Power Book II: Ghost", Hephner is also known for roles in both "Chicago Med" and "Chicago Fire," from the popular Chicago franchise and Hallmark Hall of Fame's "Love Takes Flight". Hephner can be seen next in Christopher Nolan's epic project "Oppenheimer".

SWITCH is based on a hit show in Belgium from DIGA Studios ("Hot Ones: The Game Show") that is also being produced as local versions in Germany and the Netherlands and is in development in both France and Mexico. Based on a format developed by Panenka and licensed by Lineup Industries B.V., executive producers for DIGA Studios are Tony DiSanto and Nick Rigg. Rich Sirop also serves as executive producer.

A Youtube personality comes home. 

CTV announced today that acclaimed comedian and actress Lilly Singh is confirmed to host and executive produce the inaugural season of CTV's previously announced primetime quiz show BATTLE OF THE GENERATIONS.

Each episode of the nostalgia-packed quiz show features four contestants representing a different generation (Baby Boomer, Gen X, Millennial, and Gen Z), as they battle through multiple rounds of nostalgia-packed pop culture trivia. Whoever triumphs in this unique game of time travelling trivia enters The Vault for a chance to win a cash prize of up to $25,000.

"I love a quiz show, so I'm very excited to host and executive produce BATTLE OF THE GENERATIONS with my company Unicorn Island," said Lilly Singh, Host and Executive Producer. "I look forward to representing my fellow millennials across Canada and seeing all the generations bring it!"

"As millions of her fans worldwide know, Lilly Singh has found the heart and humour in generational differences throughout her career," said Jennifer Couke, Executive Producer. "BATTLE OF THE GENERATIONS will showcase Lilly's combination of creativity, pop culture fandom, and quick-witted hosting skills - including some playful generational jabs. We can't wait for Canadian families to play along at home, undoubtedly rooting for the contestant representing their own generation"

CTV also confirmed today that nation-wide casting for BATTLE OF THE GENERATIONS is currently underway, with production on the 20-episode, one-hour quiz show set to begin February 2023 in Toronto. Viewers who think they have what it takes to reign supreme in this epic battle of the ages now have a chance to represent their generation on CTV's new game show.

Season 12 of the improv comedy series Whose Line Is It Anyway? will be its last, according to a tweet from Colin Mochrie, one of its lead performers.

"Hey everyone. Hope you are enjoying the current season of Whose Line," he wrote. "In January, we shoot our final season. Thank you all for the support over the years." Season 11 of the revival is currently airing on The CW Friday nights at 9/8c. Its final run will mark its 12th season on The CW, but 20th overall, including six seasons on ABC and two on ABC Family.

Based on a British radio show - later adapted to TV by executive producers Dan Patterson & Mark Leveson - Whose Line's current roster includes Mochrie, Wayne Brady and Ryan Stiles. Aisha Tyler has served as host since 2013.

ITV's evergreen series I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! was back this weekend and made a return to form after last year's disappointing launch episode ratings.

The Lifted Entertainment-produced celebrity survival format returned to its regular outback base in Australia following two years in the UK and took 9M last night, a share of nearly 53%, between 9pm and 10.45pm local time. It peaked at over 10M, according to Barb data from overnights.tv.

In 2021, the show was broadcast from a castle in Wales for the second time and took just 8.4M. That's still a pretty monster number for UK broadcast ratings these days but it was down nearly 3M on the 2020 edition, when Covid-19 was at its height and few people were out in the evenings.

Olivia Attwood has had to withdraw from this year's I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! after just one day, on medical grounds. The Love Island star appeared in Sunday's first episode, skydiving out of a helicopter on arrival, alongside fellow contestant, DJ Chris Moyles. A show spokesman said Attwood had left as a precaution before medics advised it was not safe for her to return. He said she had been "brilliant" and would be "very much missed". Attwood's exit means she has recorded the joint shortest stay in the show's 20-year history, alongside ex-EastEnders and Gimme Gimme Gimme actress Elaine Lordan.

In track and field, what is the name of the event in which a weighted metal ball is pushed from the athelete's shoulder distance? 


The answer will be up soon after we look ahead to more of Nan-November.

Now the answer. It is.............Shot put.


 Shot put competitions have been held at the modern Summer Olympic Games since their inception in 1896, and it is also included as an event in the World Athletics Championships.

And your final story: Some radio stations might switch to The Music Of Your Life in order to attract nursing home facilties and more importantely, the age demographic of people over the age of 45. This was to offset the costs of having too many AM radio stations going all talk or sports talk, and to let the listeners remember what their parents was listening to like easy listening, jazz and the like. One program director of a Washington, DC AM radio station says...............



 Thunderclap

Might've switched to top 40. It's............



90 seconds to talk about UK DOND as an entertainment drama starting from.......




The US Deal or No Deal can be forever etched in our minds as just a game of luck, but the UK Deal or No Deal is more than that. With ITV looking to revive it, Channel 4 might've been thinking if they came back, negative reviews from IMDB would be touted to why it's not a game show. For years, I've watche da few reruns here and there and if they play the game strategically, they could be good or bad players. They say it's an enertainment drama and if that is true, here's why. The show can't provide trivia questions for a pick of the box. They can't do a stunt to swap boxes if one of them has the higher amount. They can't trade it in for some neat prizes like a vacation or a car. They just either sit in the chair or walk around to pick a box for luck and skill. That's just it. If you watch a movie on TV or in the theaters, this is what all connects to. And with legendary Noel Edmonds backing you up, there's no denying as to why many people who watched it on 4 for years can prove it's much closer and adds more excitement and zest than that boring and stale but still a classic show they call Countdown which turned 40 the same day the network signed on. Now with ITV yet to get on their way and a reason as to why NBC needed to learn something from its syndicated roots later on, will it still be the enertainment drama Britians come to expect?
