The Talking Through The Medias opening toss up story.
After a tumultuous week, Jimmy Kimmel is returning to ABC — with a few major exceptions.
Kimmel’s late-night talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live! will return with new episodes Tuesday after ABC shelved the show indefinitely last week in response to the host’s recent comments about the killing of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk.
“Last Wednesday, we made the decision to suspend production on the show to avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an emotional moment for our country,” ABC’s parent company Disney said in a statement. “It is a decision we made because we felt some of the comments were ill-timed and thus insensitive. We have spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, and after those conversations, we reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday.”
Despite ABC’s decision to reinstate the show, however, it will continue to be preempted on the dozens of stations owned by both Sinclair and Nexstar.
“Beginning Tuesday night, Sinclair will be preempting Jimmy Kimmel Live! across our ABC affiliate stations and replacing it with news programming,” Sinclair said in a statement. “Discussions with ABC are ongoing as we evaluate the show’s potential return.”
Adds Nexstar: “We made a decision last week to preempt Jimmy Kimmel Live! following what ABC referred to as Mr. Kimmel’s ‘ill-timed and insensitive’ comments at a critical time in our national discourse. We stand by that decision pending assurance that all parties are committed to fostering an environment of respectful, constructive dialogue in the markets we serve. In the meantime, we note that Jimmy Kimmel Live! will be available nationwide on multiple Disney-owned streaming products, while our stations will focus on continuing to produce local news and other programming relevant to their respective markets.”
Kimmel’s scheduled guests on Tuesday include Glen Powell, promoting his new Hulu comedy Chad Powers, and singer Sarah McLachlan, who will perform.
On Friday, Kimmel’s representatives were “deep in discussions” with ABC and parent company Disney “in the hopes of finding a path to a compromise that would allow for” the show to return, Variety reported. In another encouraging sign, Jimmy Kimmel Live! staffers were informed on Friday they would be paid for the following week while negotiations continued, per Deadline.
ABC announced last Wednesday that Jimmy Kimmel Live! would be “preempted indefinitely” after Nexstar — which owns more than two dozen ABC affiliates nationwide, including stations in Nashville, New Orleans and other, smaller markets — decided not to air the show in light of Kimmel’s comments. Sinclair, another owner of multiple ABC affiliates, soon followed suit.

While you reminded when Earth Wind and Fire asked you to party with a song that shares the 9th month of the calendar year, we find out which ones remembered it well and which ones had a memory lapse. It's the Yay & Yawn of September.
The Yay: The Perfect Line. Deborah Norville came out of news to host a new game show in her home state of Georgia. Anytime you go to her taping, she gets the crowd up and dancing during the TV timeouts.
The Yawn: Scrambled Up. Take a bit of a word scramble game and make the scrambling.....boring. A lot of letters moving about can make you watch paint dry, don't it?

And let's do............
Rate, review and tell em Game Show Live! sent you.
Survivor fans have been eagerly anticipating the landmark season 50 almost since the show wrapped on its all-champion affair back in season 40 with Winners at War. And now that Survivor 50 has already been cast and filmed, that drumbeat is almost deafening.
But before we can get there, there is a little thing called Survivor 49 still waiting to be unfurled.
“I run into people all the time that keep saying ‘I can't wait for 50,’” says host and showrunner Jeff Probst, laughing. “And I say, ‘You do realize 49 comes after 48. And this is before 50.’” Indeed, Survivor 49 premieres Sept. 24 on CBS, but the host forgives fans for looking past it. “I understand it,” he concedes. “50 is a big thing. It's a big moment. It's going to be a really fun season.”
But for those who simply can’t wait to watch old-era and new-era contestants battling it out for ultimate bragging rights, Probst notes that the Survivor 50 viewing experience actually begins with what is about to unfold on Survivor 49.
“One reason you need to watch 49,” he teases, “is that two players end up getting invited to participate in 50. And it will be a fun game to try to figure out: Who do you think impressed us and made a big enough mark that we made room for them?” In fact, adding two standouts from 49 was just part of a Survivor 50 cast bursting at the seams with a record 24 players.
“When we first went out there [for 49], we weren't finished casting,” Probst says. “Casting 50 was really difficult and we wanted to stay in our own state of flux. There was no guarantee we were going to invite somebody from 49, but we were certainly open to it. But that meant things had to shift in different ways with 50. What it really meant is we just kept adding more players to our roster, which we were fine with.”

Let's take a bit of a breather because a viewer stated that giving up on Family Feud meant too many TV-14 questions and Youtube-worthy moments that make it a syndicated top 5 hit. The best way to relive all this is to find your local free ad-supported streaming TV service and search for Family Feud Classic. All the Combs and Dawson moments that make it more family friendly and TV-PG. Like this one.
Minutes before NBC late-night host Jimmy Fallon was slated to appear on a New York conference panel Thursday, organizers announced he was out of the lineup.
“Unfortunately, Jimmy Fallon is no longer able to attend today’s session,” the Fast Company Innovation Festival said in a statement.
Fallon and marketing executive Bozoma Saint John had been slated to discuss their new advertising-focused NBC series On Brand.
A representative of the festival at the conference venue in Lower Manhattan told a Deadline reporter there would be no comment on the situation beyond the statement.
The panel, minus Fallon, went on as scheduled. Moderator Jeff Beer, a senior staff editor at Fast Company, kicked the session off by saying, “In light of current events, Jimmy could not make it this morning.” Saint John, who is also a cast member on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, drew a cheer by interjecting, “But you’ve got me!”

For the first time in Love Is Blind history, a contestant has been removed from the pod experiment after breaking one of production’s rules.
“Gallien [Braghini] is no longer part of the experiment,” a title card read in French at the beginning of the third episode, which is now streaming on Netflix. “In this Love Is Blind journey, the singles commit to not interact with the outside world, [and] Gallien broke this rule.”
Neither Netflix nor Gallien, 37, has offered any details regarding how he broke the aforementioned rule. (The other contestants also were not informed of the specifics.)
“In order for this experiment to work, there are a lot of rules. We have to be in a bubble. I broke one of the rules of the experiment. I’d rather not go into details,” Gallien said in French during a confessional interview filmed ahead of his exit. “I wasn’t necessarily hoping that this adventure would have a fairy tale ending, but now I’m leaving through the side door, which is pretty pathetic. I feel bad for the girls for not finishing what we started. This really blows, but there were rules. I only have myself to blame.”
Fellow contestant Thomas Belmonte, for his part, said via his own confessional that “what Gallien did was unacceptable” and he planned to tell their mutual connection, Tatiana Bazin, what actually happened. (Thomas, 37, had previously broken off his romance with Tatiana, 39, to pursue eventual fiancée Kim Musano.)

More than two decades on, and 20 letters deep, QI remains a uniquely British invention: part parlour game, part comedy salon, part fact-based fever dream…
The nation’s most eccentric quiz show returns this autumn as QI embarks on its 23rd year — and its 24th alphabetic outing — with Series W.
First airing in 2003, the program has become a BBC Two staple, pairing irreverent humour with an obsession for facts that are “quite interesting”.
At the helm once more is Sandi Toksvig, now firmly established in the chair once occupied by Stephen Fry, with Alan Davies still the resident foil and mischief-maker. Together, they preside over a cavalcade of comics, writers, and broadcasters wrestling with the Weird and Wonderful, dabbling in Wordmongery, puzzling over Who, What, Why, and unravelling all manner of Whatnots.
The W series boasts a glittering guest line-up — part returning favourites, part first-timers — reflecting the show’s unique blend of cross-generational comedy voices. Established figures like Jo Brand, Gyles Brandreth, Griff Rhys Jones and Jimmy Carr share the stage with newer stars such as Maisie Adam, Joanne McNally, Nabil Abdulrashid and Rosie Jones. Meanwhile, international names like science communicator Hank Green rub shoulders with British stalwarts from Phil Wang to Susan Calman.
Across 14 XL episodes (45 minutes each), plus two half-hour specials, the panel will riff their way through the alphabet’s 23rd letter — and, in true QI fashion, find themselves rewarded less for “right” answers than for the most surprising, silly and surreal responses. Each XL edition will be followed by a shorter 30-minute cut for BBC Two and iPlayer.
“We had a whale of a time making the W series,” says producer Piers Fletcher. “After twenty-three years learning how to weave together wisdom, wit and whimsy, we’re really getting the hang of it, I think. Watch it, and thank me later.”
Commissioned by Kalpna Patel-Knight, the BBC’s Head of Entertainment, the series is produced by TalkbackThames (a Fremantle label) in partnership with Quite Interesting, the company co-founded by original host Stephen Fry and creative godfather John Lloyd, who remains the show’s executive producer.
In an era where quiz shows have increasingly blurred the line between competition and comedy, QI has proved quietly radical. By rewarding curiosity and contrarian thinking, it has become a rare format that is both educational and anarchic. For some, it is a panel game that reassures; for others, it is proof that comedy can thrive on intellectual mischief rather than punchlines alone.
No transmission date has yet been confirmed beyond “October”, but fans can expect the familiar mix of buzzer gags, klaxon misfires and improbable facts — from obscure medieval trivia to outlandish scientific footnotes.

Rob Brydon has been confirmed to host new the UK version of Dutch format The Floor, filming this Autumn and set to air on Saturday nights next year on ITV1 and ITVX.
In The Floor, 81 quiz fanatics face off in quiz duels on a giant LED floor divided into 81 equal squares, each representing its own field of knowledge. The goal is to conquer the entire floor and take home a huge cash prize. The rules are simple. A random contestant challenges an adjoining opponent in a quiz duel. They play against each other in the category of the opponent's square. Categories range from 'famous athletes' to 'Hollywood actors' and from ‘iconic buildings’ to 'mammals'. Some questions are visually supported by photographs, others by sound, while other duels focus on open questions, multiple choice, association: the possibilities are endless. The winner of a duel conquers his opponent's square, gaining more ground - the loser leaves the game. The further the game progresses, the more exciting the duels become and the higher the stakes. After ten episodes, who will be the last person standing on The Floor and take home the impressive cash prize?
After being revealed as host by The Sun newspaper, Rob Brydon said: "The Floor is a quiz show like no other – big, bold and bursting with excitement. I’m thrilled to be stepping onto it and guiding the contestants through the competition. Let’s light up the floor!"
Maarten Meijs, CEO at Talpa Studios: “The UK has an unmatched legacy when it comes to quiz shows, setting an incredibly high bar. Having ITV adapt The Floor is a true testament to the format’s strength, originality, and continued international success. We’re extremely proud to enter this prolific quiz market as our 25th territory, and confident that The Floor will resonate with British audiences – especially with the local flair ITV and South Shore are bringing to the show.”
Katie Rawcliffe, Director of Entertainment, Reality & Daytime Commissioning ITV said: “The Floor, with its compelling game play, is an excellent addition to our roster of existing popular quiz shows across ITV and ITVX.” Andrew Mackenzie, CEO at South Shore Production adds: “The Floor is an incredible format, its success around the world is unprecedented and we can’t wait to light it up in the UK.” The Floor will air next year on ITV.
