And now, the (Nearly) world-famous contestant...Pierre Kelly!
Me: Welcome to Game Show Live! Let's get right into it with.......
The Talking Through The Medias opening toss up story.
Beast Games is back.
Amazon has set the premiere for Season 2 of MrBeast’s competition series, launching the sophomore run on January 7, 2026. The series, which became the streamer’s most-watched unscripted show ever, will launch with three episodes before moving to a weekly rollout.
The prize money is $5M – although the first season was also meant to be $5M but the winner, Jeffrey Randall Allen actually won $10M with Jimmy Donaldson, aka MrBeast actually handing out a total of $25M across the first season.
This comes after Amazon handed MrBeast a two-season order earlier this year.
The streamer said that the show will return with its “fiercest competitors yet” with what it is calling a “Strong vs. Smart” narrative across the season, which is thought to have shot some of its second season in Saudi Arabia.
The show saw 1,000 contestants compete in a series of physical, mental and social challenges to win the grand prize. It premiered in December and ran through February.
Donaldson returns as host and will executive produce. Sean Klitzner, Tyler Conklin, and Mack Hopkins also serve as co-creators. Klitzner and Matt Apps serve as showrunners, as well as executive producers alongside Michael Cruz, Jeff Housenbold, Conklin, Michael Miller, Josh Kulic, and Chris Keiper. Tyler Conklin is Series Director.

And sticking with MrBeast, someone wants to reevealuate a remake of a certain show. Have a look.
I'd say Family Feud must've been going on a tangent due to it's "Loaded questions" style and Jeopardy!/Wheel might've gotten them under their nose, and this has to stop. Also, American Idol is just a shadow of itself from it's FOX days and not a lot of people are selling what the winner of American Idol is putting out and it needs to go away. PYL as far as I'm concerned should shrink it to just a half an hour a week. That's all. What do you guys think?

Now the segment in which who's getting their kicks like the Rockettes and who's getting kicked out at 2. Sorry Becky Lynch but Maxxine Dupri is the intercontinental champion. Just saying. Get a therapist. It's the Yay & Yawn of November.

Get ready for a whole week of Wheel of Fortune like you’ve never seen before. The game show will introduce a new Toss-Up Bonus Round, worth up to $500,000, but it will only last for one week.
In collaboration with DraftKings Casino, Wheel of Fortune is hosting the DraftKings Casino Multiplier Tournament, airing from November 24 to 28.
This tournament-style week of shows will have the Bonus Round played in the style of Toss-Ups, where the contestant has the chance to win up to $500,000, according to a press release.
Throughout the week of shows, there will be two special DraftKings Casino multiplier wedges on the wheel, offering more opportunities to win big. If a contestant lands on one of the wedges, they’ll get $1,000 per consonant called that’s in the puzzle, then the total will be multiplied by whatever number is on the other side of the wedge, up to 5X. Monday through Friday, the Bonus Round will be played as usual. But on Friday, November 28, the top three winners of that week return for the championship game. The winner of that game will advance to the Bonus Round, where they will play a Toss-Up-style one. The winner will have to try to solve five rapid-fire toss-up puzzles, all in the same category, worth $10,000 each in 45 seconds. The bonus wheel envelopes will be replaced with 2x, 3x, and 4x multipliers. The contestant still gets to choose from a list of categories.
The puzzle will start with “RSTLNE,” then begin to populate. If the contestant gives an incorrect solve, they move on, but the clock never stops. After the round, the amount of money earned will be multiplied by the number revealed by host Ryan Seacrest to be in the bonus wheel envelope (up to 4X), bringing the prize up to $200,000.
Additionally, during the final episode of the week, a special-edition DraftKings Casino 10X Multiplier Wild Wedge will be added to the wheel during regular gameplay. The contestant who picks up the wedge can choose to use it like a normal wild card, or, if they are the night’s winner, they can take the 10x multiplier to the bonus round to add a 10X envelope to the bonus wheel for a chance to win $500,000.
Fans can also participate in the DraftsKing week by entering the giveaway at wheeloffortune.com. Take note of the Bonus Round puzzles.
“The introduction of this new bonus round format for the tournament is just one of the many ways our collaboration with DraftKings demonstrates how Wheel of Fortune integrations set the industry standard,” Suzanne Prete, President, Game Shows, Sony Pictures Television, said. “Working closely with our sponsors, our partnership team and producers continue to create fresh, entertainment-driven content that elevates the brands while staying true to the game fans love.”

let's break away for a classic PYL moment.
Simon Cowell, best known in the U.S. for starring in American Idol and America’s Got Talent, has been instrumental in the success of bands such as Westlife, One Direction and Little Mix.
He’s now looking for his next boy band in Netflix docuseries Simon Cowell: The Next Act. The cameras are following him in this journey, starting with raw open casting calls to the release of a debut single by bringing together 16 boys in Miami.
“As much as I love my job on TV, I miss where I started, signing artists and working with bands. There is a massive opportunity: I am going to find a new boy band,” he says in the trailer (above). “If this goes wrong, it will be Simon Cowell has lost it.”
The series, which will premiere on December 10, is produced by Cowell’s Syco Entertainment and Drive to Survive producer Box to Box Films. Cowell exec produces alongside James Gay Rees, Paul Martin, Warren Smith and Cassie Bennet.
Simon Cowell: The Next Act is a departure for the music mogul; on the television side, he has largely been involved with major entertainment franchises such as AGT, Idol and The X Factor rather than documentary series such as this. He was, however, involved in BBC documentary series Boybands Forever, which was produced by Louis Theroux’s Mindhouse Productions and aired last year.
He also recently featured as a judge on a proof-of-concept taping of Who’s In The Band, a music competition series in development at ABC. The series, which comes from Richard Bacon’s Yes Yes Media, also featured Joe Jonas, Mel B and Savan Kotecha as judges with KPop Demon Hunters’ Rei Ami as host. However, if the project does move forward at the Disney-owned network, Cowell will be unlikely able to be involved on screen given his NBC contract.

A two-time Survivor winner is headed back to a reality competition series about being stuck out in the elements, but this time, she won’t be the one suffering.
The Queen herself, Sandra Diaz-Twine, will be starring on season 2 of Extracted, which premieres Jan. 26 on Fox. And she won’t be alone. Sandra and daughter Nina Twine — who competed twice on Australian Survivor (including once with her mother), and won the USA channel’s The Anonymous — will be stationed in Headquarters while Nina’s boyfriend, Eric Rivera, is stuck trying to survive out in the Canadian wilderness.
Will Sandra and Nina — who will watch Eric’s exploits on a 24-hour live feed — show mercy on their loved one and push the Extract button to put an end to his misery, or will they push him instead to stick it out and claim the $250,000 prize?

“Inside the NBA” has migrated over to ESPN, but TNT still has a few other jobs for some of that popular studio show’s hosts.
Shaquille O’Neal will serve as a judge along with other NBA greats including Vince Carter, Dwight Howard, Nate Robinson and Mac McClung, and Chris Webber on “Dunkman,” a six-episode reality competition program set to air across Warner Bros. Discovery’s TNT, truTV and HBO Max in December.
In “Dunkman,” 40 amateur dunkers from around the globe will compete for a $200,000 grand prize. And while the premise may not prove shocking, what’s interesting is that Warner’s TNT Sports is continuing to find ancillary roles for O’Neal and others even as the company’s flagship sports program becomes a property that will be more associated with Disney’s ESPN.

Netflix is set to answer the question: What’s In The Box?
The Neil Patrick Harris-hosted game show is set to drop on the streamer on December 17.
The six-part series comes from British production company Rollercoaster Television, which is part of ITV Studios.
In the show, giant boxes conceal prizes, surprises and unexpected reveals and the show tests smarts, strategy and stamina. Over several episodes, pairs of contestants face off in trivia rounds, racing to correctly guess what’s inside each box. But winning a prize is just the beginning. As the game unfolds, shifting alliances and unexpected twists mean only those with sharp instincts — and a little luck — will hold onto their winnings and claim victory.
It is exec produced by James Fox, Dom Waugh, Wes Kauble and Leanne Witcoop.
What’s In The Box? was one of a number of unscripted shows ordered by Netflix this year; other titles include Harry Jowsey’s Let’s Marry Harry, Simon Cowell: The Next Act, which is also set to premiere next month, Nick Viall and Natalie Joy-hosted dating show Age of Attraction, Palm Beach reality series Members Only, which is also set to drop in December, and Calabasas Confidential.

No more time boys and girls. Here's the answer.
It was Out of This World. Really. No wonder it aired at 6:30 on NBC instead of 7.

On Thanksgiving, RTE America will simulcast with Twitch, Pluto TV and Youtube to broadcast it's annual MST3K Doubled Troubled Turkey Day marathon running from 6-3 am all day. MST3k normally airs straight after the Nightly Scroll with Hayley Caronia and this right before it.
