Madison Brunoehler: From coast to coast, around the world, now in it's 4th conesecutive year, it's............................................
Now, America's favorite contestant, Pierre Kelly!
Me: Ok fellas, get on your brooms and fly away to Game Show Live! where we get lit and get involved. Going out of the clouds is...............
The Double Toasted opening toss up story.
Get ready to "come on down" to CBS for new episodes of The Price Is Right, which is going back into production following coronavirus shutdowns.
The long-running game show is getting back to work with a redesigned set to allow for COVID-friendly game play, according to Deadline. And in a first for the show's near 50 years on air, The Price Is Right will go without its audience.
From cash prizes to games currently in rotation on the long-running show. Showrunner Evelyn Warfel revealed that plans for a production rework began as early as March with the team behind CBS' program creating new guidelines consistent with local, state, and guild rules.
"We quickly realized we were not going to be able to have 300 people on the show sitting close together," she told Deadline. "We decided that we were going to come back without an audience to maintain the safety as best we could for our talent, for the contestants, for our staff and crew.
"If we want to come back, we have to do it safely," continued Warfel.
So, while The Price Is Right will go without an audience, no games are being sacrificed. All 77 games will continue to play a role in the socially distanced iteration.
Filming will also change as the average number of episodes shot per day goes from two to three to make up for lost time. And in order to reduce exposure, one filming day will take place on Sundays when less people are on the lot.
Some physical changes viewers will notice include a decked over audience section and a Bidder's Row that now puts players six feet apart from each other. And when it comes to the wheel? Everyone is allowed to give it a spin, but sanitizing will take place between contestants.
"We've made some changes to some games… but they will be all spinning the wheel. They're able to all touch the wheel. They just have to sanitize their hands first, and then after that, the first wheel spin, the wheel will be sanitized for the next wheel spin," said Warfel.
No word yet on when the Yodely Guy will don a mask & gloves.

A trail ride from a headless horseman listening to Deadair.co. Well, not really because deadair.co lets you request something scary as long as it's not outside the topic by emailing or sliding in the DMs to @DeadAironAir on the Twitters. Now back to our headless zero, Pierre Kelly!
Me: Headless, you say Madison? I do have a head. Not beheaded. For now.
(song fades out)
I think it's time we do a shout out.
A big special shout out goes to...............Ivonna Cavader. Before you even say "never Heard of Her," you should all look at this before you change your mind or 2.
Ahh.....so many memories of watching it on Channel 36 in Memphis when the picture wasn't clear but sure enough had to look at her just for the movies and her sarcastic wit. Anyways, she's the host of the LA-Based synidcated program "Macabre Theatre" for as close to 20 years or so and her co-host......why it's Butch Patrick from the Munsters. Each week, like Elvira, mistress of the dark from way back in the day and Svengoolie way way back in the day.....before the current incarntation of course, she has all the horror movie stuff from the crypt in which it's perfect to turn the lights down low, grab a bowl of Apple Jacks cereal and some apple juice, curl up with the blanket with your tablet or Smart Tv in tow and try not to get some all over the floor to scare out to those scary parts or else you risking cleaning it up yourself when it's all over. In addition, Ivonna on occasion goes out to events around the city and talks to some people in the expertise of horror. It's like going on some bad field trip from school. One thing you need to know is.............
https://www.ytaclub.com/tv/Featured-Shows/Macabre-Theatre/view/
It has all the newer shows and the older ones. Sad part: You'll need a credit card to see them all. Oh well. Where's Paypal? But if you want to wait until Saturday to stop everything and watch what's showing, head over to:
https://www.ytaclub.com/tv/Red-White-and-Live-/view/
She'll let you know when she'll be going live. And also, a big special shout out to Kimberly Q. Yes, she's also in the same website too I mentioned. If Pluto TV were to get these 2, I will definitely be down! Oh, she too has this as a Facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/TheIvonnaCadaver/
As far as the website for the show she works at is concerned:
https://www.macabretheatre.com/
I forgot one thing: she's even on Instagram and Twitter too. So please, don't be scared, because on Saturdays, Ivonna will be your friend right to the end. It's something to DIE for. Now to keep track of all my Trivia Murder Party 1 & 2 Win-loss track record..........

A 66-year-old former employee on the "Jeopardy!" show is suing the producers, alleging he was fired in August after more than three decades because of his age.
Glenn Kagan's Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit names as defendants Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc. and Quadra Productions Inc.
In addition to age discrimination, he alleges failure to prevent discrimination, wrongful termination and failure to pay overtime. Kagan seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages in the suit filed Wednesday.
A Sony representative could not be immediately reached.
He worked for the companies and their predecessors from June 1986 until Aug. 21 of this year as a senior contestant coordinator on "Jeopardy," the suit states. On taping days, his duties included meeting contestants and escorting them to the green room, the suit states. He also stood in for host Alex Trebek during rehearsal to see if contestants had any issues, including how to use the signaling buzzers, according to the complaint.
On non-taping days, Kagan booked contestants for upcoming shows and emailed them forms, the suit states. At various times, he conducted auditions for potential contestants, took notes on them and submitted the information to the proper people so they could make their selections, the suit states.
In July 2016, a young male in his 20s was promoted to contestant coordinator and over the next few years, some of Kagan's job duties were given to that employee, including stage work on tape days, the suit states. Kagan's supervisor told him the staff wanted the younger employee to appear in the camera shots with contestants between commercial breaks instead of him, according to the suit.
Kinda depressing and all, but this moment is where we spin the postive, Double Jeopardy! down and only 2 that finished in the negative are gone. Long gone! Which leaves only one for the finale. This will be scary. It's.........
The Instant Classic!

GameMaster, an e-sports reality competition series featuring The Big Bang Theory's Wil Wheaton, is set to kick off production in Georgia.
Production on the show, not be to confused with the classic British Channel 4 format that starred Patrick Moore, was delayed by eight months as a result of the COVID-19 production shutdown.
The show, which is set to air on Amazon Prime Video and Twitch, will start pre-production in Atlanta on November 9 with full production beginning in January 2021.
Wheaton, who played a fictionalized version of himself on the CBS sitcom, will play the commissioner and host of the nine-part series. It will feature gameplay on 24 major video games with 12 amateur esports contestants from across the U.S. Someone will go home each week, and the last two standing will battle it out at the live finale to grab the $100K cash prize and claim the title.

Critical Content, a leading independent nonfiction production studio, is forming a TV development deal with Wham-O, maker of classic toys like the Frisbee Disc, Hula Hoop and Slip 'N Slide.
Under the pact, the two companies will develop and create live-action TV content built around Wham-O brands. The first project is a competition series tentatively titled Slip 'N Slide Island.
The Slip 'N Slide, a 16-foot-long yellow plastic strip made slick by a line of small water jets once it is hooked up to a garden hose, has been a summertime fixture since making its debut in 1961. In 2020, its 60th year on the market, sales have soared 180% over last year, according to Wham-O, because COVID-19 has forced many public pools, camps and water parks to close.

sliding into our next story...........
The Masked Dancer is set to finally waltz into the studio – albeit with a few more health and safety protocols than initially expected.
Deadline reports that the spin-off of Fox reality hit The Masked Singer is set to start shooting this weekend. It will shoot at Red Studios in Los Angeles, the same location where Fox recently shot the mystery singing talent competition. The network will employ the same rigorous health and safety protocols that it put in place for The Masked Singer as well as I Can See Your Voice.
The production will include regular testing, zoning, social distancing, sanitization and non-sharing of communal areas. Fox is working closely with local and state officials, including the Health Department, as well as the unions on protocols to make sure that the production environment is as safe as possible..

And now we go into the Mistplay Game Break. We 've got more of B-movies with different titles.
In the UK, this 1959 Warner Bros. film was under the name "The Gargon Terror," but in the US of A, it's original name ws The Ray Gun Terror. What is the offical title of the film?
Don't terrorize yourself after a Pandora song break because Svengoolie is about to tear it up!
And we gallop to the answer:
In June 1958 Bryan Pearson, who invested $5,000 in the production with his wife Ursula, took Graeff to court in order to gain back the original investment and a percentage of any profits. The Pearsons had learned that Graeff had allegedly sold the film (originally titled The Boy From Out of This World),[4] which did not happen until early 1959. He heard nothing more on their investment or a percentage of profits to which they were entitled. The legal dispute dragged on for a year. Pearson received his $5000 investment, but the judge ruled there was no profit to share. Tom and the Pearsons, who had been good friends during the production of Teenagers, never spoke to each other again.[5]
The film failed to perform at the box office, placing further stress on an already-burdened Graeff, and in the fall of 1959, he suffered a breakdown, proclaiming himself as the second coming of Christ.[6] After a number of public appearances, followed by a subsequent arrest for disrupting a church service, Graeff disappeared from Hollywood until 1964. He committed suicide in 1970.
The film went on to become a cult classic among sci-fi fans and was later shown on Mystery Science Theater 3000, Elvira's Movie Macabre, and Off Beat Cinema. It was also included in the video game Destroy All Humans! It becomes unlocked and ready to play in full once the player beats the game.
