America’s Got Talent is celebrating 20 seasons and 20 years of discovering talent, and the celebratory trailer showcases some of the acts from the past.

The NBC talent show premieres on Tuesday, May 27 at 8 p.m. ET, and the preview gives a nod to some of the winners, like ventriloquist Terry Fator (Season 2), singer Kodi Lee (Season 14), singer Grace VanderWaal (Season 11), ventriloquist Darci Lynne (Season 12), singer Richard Goodall (Season 19), among many others.

“Two minutes could change your life,” judge Simon Cowell says in the trailer. “We’re still here 20 years later, who knows what’s going to happen next.”

For the 20th season, judge Howie Mandel says, “We want bigger, better than we’ve ever seen before.”

Returning for Season 20, singer Jessica Sanchez returns to the AGT stage to showcase her talent once again, to which judge Sofía Vergara says, “This was a very special moment.”

The trailer also shows the first look at Mel B’s return to the judging panel, taking over the chair for Heidi Klum. Mel B first joined the show in Season 8 alongside Howard Stern, Mandel, and Klum and remained a judge until Season 13. The epic celebration 20 seasons in the making, is hosted by Terry Crews.

The Got Talent format has had more than a billion global viewers since it began airing in 2006 in America and has aired in 194 territories worldwide. Got Talent holds the Guinness World Records title as the Most Successful Reality Television Format, with more than 70 local versions produced across Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Africa, and the Americas.

Furthermore, Got Talent has seen success with several global brand extensions, including “Champions,” “All-Stars” and “Fantasy League.”

Celebrity Puzzling, a weekly quiz show will air in hour-long slots across eight episodes 5 today announced.

Hosted by Jeremy Vine with team captains, actress Sally Lindsay and presenter Carol Vorderman, will each week welcome a new celebrity guest to their respective teams. Together, they tackle a range of fun and fiendish puzzles – testing logic, lateral thinking and problem-solving – all vying for the ultimate prize: bragging rights as the best puzzle-solvers in showbiz.

Jeremy Vine: “It’s amazing to do a quiz that’s so simple and yet feels so fresh in every way. Celebrity Puzzling is one of those shows where, from the very first edition, everything fell into place with our amazing 5 team, with Carol and with Sally, and we just had the greatest fun in the studio. Not to mention burning through quite a few brain cells as we all tried to solve those beastly puzzles!"

The host of famous faces joining the teams each week include Stephen Bailey, Miles Jupp, Shaun Williamson, Les Dennis, Gareth Malone, John Thomson, Dom Joly, Russell Kane, Melvin Odoom, Paul Sinha, David James, Ore Oduba, Scarlett Moffatt, Dr Ranj Singh, Sam Quek and Rav Wilding.

Sally Lindsay: “I was honestly a bit nervous about this challenge as I’m more your general knowledge type but even though it was really competitive at times I surprised myself on some rounds! If you love a puzzle you will love this!”

Carol Vorderman: “I’m so excited to be a team captain on Celebrity Puzzling. Finally, all those years of loving numbers, words and brainteasers are about to pay off! Well, I hope that they are. Joining forces with my brilliant and really good mate Sally Lindsay, and with the ever-clever Jeremy Vine keeping us all in line, it’s going to be a battle of brains… and I’m going to be fighting all the way, of course!”

The series was filmed at Enfys Studios in Cardiff, Wales, and will be available to watch and stream on 5 this year. Produced by Potato (part of ITV Studios), and Wheelhouse (UK division).

Match Game is back, once again, this time with Martin Short as host.

ABC is bringing the evergreen gameshow back for a new season, four years after it last aired on the Disney-owned network. Alec Baldwin hosted the last reboot of the show, which launched in 1962 and has aired on CBS, NBC and ABC as well as on syndication. That most recent version of the show ran for five seasons, starting in 2016 with the final batch of episodes airing in summer of 2021.

The series features four contestants each week vying for the chance to win $25,000, as they attempt to match the answers of six celebrities in a game of fill-in-the-blank.

It is produced by FremantleMedia North America with Short and Alycia Rossiter, who has exec produced series including ABC’s Generation Gap and Supermarket Sweep, serving as executive producers.

Deadline reports that Sarah Jessica Parker had been in talks to be involved in the reboot of the show but a deal wasn’t closed.

Baldwin’s version of the show regularly aired on Sunday nights alongside Celebrity Family Feud and The $100,000 Pyramid on ABC’s Sunday Fun and Games strand but it’s not clear where this new iteration will be scheduled. That version was also filmed in New York, where the original 1960s show had filmed, but this new version will be shot in Montreal, Canada.

It will sit alongside other unscripted shows on ABC’s schedule including a second season of The Golden Bachelor, Bachelor in Paradise, which returns this summer, Dancing with the Stars, which is heading into its 34th season and the return of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


“Bachelor in Paradise” is getting a change of scenery, as the ABC dating spinoff heads from Mexico to Costa Rica for its upcoming 10th season, due summer 2025.

Jesse Palmer returns to host the series alongside Wells Adams as bartender, joined by Hannah Brown, who will be “bringing the bubbly to rose ceremonies in the all-new Champagne Lounge,” per the announcement.

Plus, as previously revealed, contestants from “The Golden Bachelor” and “The Golden Bachelorette,” ABC’s spinoffs geared toward senior citizen suitors, will hit the beach this year. The cast includes: Leslie Fhima (“The Golden Bachelor”), Gary Levingston (“The Golden Bachelorette”), Zoe McGrady (“The Bachelor” Season 29), Hakeem Moulton (“The Bachelorette” Season 21) and Jonathon Johnson (“The Bachelorette” Season 21).

Former Bachelorette star Hannah Brown is coming back for Season 10 of Bachelor in Paradise. But this time, she’s not coming to bring the drama to the cast, but is joining the guest relations team to help take care of the new cast of hopefuls coming to look for love. AD Hannah will be joining host Jesse Palmer, who is also returning for the new season, and Wells Adams, who will be returning as bartender. Hannah will be bringing her own brand of bubbly fun to the all-new Champagne Lounge. And she’s very excited about her new role.

The trailer and first-look stills for Netflix's upcoming Japanese unscripted comedy Welcome, Now Get Lost have been released, offering audiences a sneak peek into the hilarity and chaos that awaits.

This expanded Netflix special follows comedians as they navigate a hilariously cursed village, enduring relentless taunts from angry villagers. To survive, there's only one rule: comedians must withstand the villagers' jabs without losing their temper. Those who falter face elimination. Who can transform the hostility into humor and make their escape?

Hosted by Koji Higashino and created by Nobuyuki Sakuma - the mastermind behind Last One Standing and LIGHTHOUSE - Welcome, Now Get Lost is inspired by the popular "BATOUMURA" project from Sakuma's YouTube channel, NOBROCK TV, which has garnered over 15 million views.

But don't get lost from this Mistplay Game Break. Straight from the world's biggest Bingo Blitz hopper comes this question.







And since it's the class of 2015, why not hear this throwback from Walk The Moon?




 Still a darn good throwback. Now we get to the answer. If you've been watching old reruns of Dobie Gillis on Nick@Nite back in the day, it's.............The Thinker. You didn't overthink on that.

While Star Wars Day was celebrated, The 757 Hustle Show did it the only way they know how......

But Marlon Wayans knew NBC had something to get into the summer. It's called "I Can Do That!" Here's why:



Six entertainers attempt to perform the acts of notable entertainers in various fields (singing, dancing, acrobatics, magic, etc.), with help from the original performers. The public votes on which was the best re-enacted act each week; the first-place finisher(s) get three points, second place gets two points, and third place gets one point. At the end of six weeks, the celebrity with the most points earns a trophy and the title of "The Greatest Entertainer". 


Among them who want to but don't need to are.....Cheryl Burke who you know from DWTS fame, Jeff Dye of the long forgotten "Who The Bleep Was That?" and Russell Wilson's wife Ciara, but the Greatest Entertainer was............Nicole Scherzinger who went on to judge "The Masked Singer" for 5 years before Rita Ora took over. This was like "Secret Talents of The Stars" on CBS, (gone after airing) but with more talent. Thankfully, they all went back to their own talents.
