Remember this?
Well.....
Fox is adding another music-centric game show to its lineup, and this one is a revival of a classic. The broadcast network has ordered an updated version of "Name That Tune," which will be hosted by Tony-winning actress Jane Krakowski with Grammy Award winner and former "American Idol" judge Randy Jackson serving as band leader.
Based on the original series created by Harry Salter, the "Name That Tune" revival will test contestants' music knowledge as they battle it out in an assortment of challenging games for cash and prizes.
The new series will premiere Wednesday, Jan. 6 at 9/8c, immediately after the time-period premiere of "The Masked Singer" spinoff series "The Masked Dancer."
Each one-hour episode of "Name That Tune" is comprised of two stand-alone half-hour contests, each pitting two players against each other as they race against the clock to test their knowledge of songs, performed by the live band. Each contest features a rotating variety of games from the original format, before the iconic Bid-a-Note round. The player with the most money at the end of Bid-a-Note wins the game and takes his or her bank into the Golden Medley bonus round, for a chance to win additional cash and potentially the $100,000 grand prize.
"We're thrilled to bring the iconic musical game show 'Name That Tune' back to television with this updated revival. It's been beloved the world over for decades and we can't wait for a new generation of families to get to play along with the classic series at home," Rob Wade, president of alternative entertainment & specials at Fox Entertainment, said. "With the captivating Jane Krakowski as host alongside band leader Randy Jackson the Big Dawg himself, this surely will be a harmonious pairing."
"Name That Tune" hails from Fox Alternative Entertainment, Prestige Entertainment and Eureka Productions ("Holey Moley," "Dating Around," "Full Bloom"). Chris Culvenor and Paul Franklin will serve as executive producers for Eureka Productions. Ralph Rubenstein and Noah Rubenstein are also executive producers, along with Janine Cooper, who also serves as showrunner.
The original "Name That Tune," created by orchestra conductor Salter, premiered on NBC Radio in 1952 and was adapted for the NBC broadcast network in 1953. "Name That Tune" later moved to CBS and eventually aired as a syndicated series.
Filming begins on Friday on at the Aware Theatre, Sydney International Convention Centre, with US expats as contestants.

The Yay: LMAD and Price. They get their first shows in more than.........oh let's say 2 seasons.
The Yawn: LA county. Again. This time under a curfew from 10-5 am to slow the spread of the virus. This does not affect the game shows taped.

What, camera light is on......oh hi we're back and Madison Brunoehler is still getting hypnotized in an adult standards trance for the 2nd week in a row. While we try to get her out of it, let's do......
FOX has ordered GAME OF TALENTS, an all-new unscripted variety show in which contestants must guess the performers' hidden talent, based only on their first impressions and a few wily clues. Emmy Award winner Wayne Brady ("Let's Make A Deal," "Whose Line Is It Anyway?") is set to host and executive-produce the program.
Produced by Fremantle and based on its hit international format, GAME OF TALENTS will premiere on FOX in 2021. The series is currently in production in Los Angeles.
"GAME OF TALENTS represents everything we here at FOX endeavor to bring to viewers," said Rob Wade, President of Alternative Entertainment and Specials, FOX Entertainment. "It's a chance for families to gather for magnetic gameplay, a fun peek into extraordinary skills of ordinary people and a friendly, spirited variety competition."
"GAME OF TALENTS is a dynamic combination of talent and game shows, and is destined to be the country's next big family entertainment format," said Jayson Dinsmore, President of Alternative Programming and Development, Fremantle. "Fremantle is home to the most renowned competition formats from across the globe and we can't wait to, with the help of our partners at FOX and the extraordinarily talented Wayne Brady, bring our latest international hit to America."
"What excites me about this series and this concept is every week we get to show off talents that will amaze, inspire and, in some cases, make your jaw-drop," said Brady. "As someone who loves games and loves all types of talent, this was a perfect fit for me and I'm thrilled to be a part of the creative team bringing it to life. I also get to give away someone else's money, which I always enjoy doing!"
From the producers of "America's Got Talent," comes the international hit variety show GAME OF TALENTS. Taking the awe, wonder and spectacle of a large-scale variety show and infusing it with a clue centered, high-intensity investigative game, GAME OF TALENTS is a new hybrid series like you've never seen before. The series pits two teams of contestants against each other as they attempt to figure out the surprising - and sometimes bizarre - hidden talents of the mystery performers. With more than $200,000 on the line, can the contestants spot the fire dancer from the spider wrangler or the chainsaw juggler from the contortionist? Can you?? This is GAME OF TALENTS!
GAME OF TALENTS is a rapidly expanding global success that originated from Fremantle's team in Spain in conjunction with Mediaset España and is now entering into its third season there. In addition to the upcoming U.S. production for FOX, the format is also set to launch in the U.K. on ITV, Sweden on SVT, and Holland and Belgium on RTL4 and VTM in 2021.
GAME OF TALENTS is produced by Fremantle. Executive producers include Jeff Apploff (BEAT SHAZAM, MENTAL SAMURAI) and Wayne Brady ("Let's Make A Deal," "Whose "Line Is It Anyway?").

Expect the same shenanigans as he tries to become a one-man wrecking crew without Ashley the scorekeeper and Tom on the tech side. Let's hope he'll power through it even through 2021 and forever.......kinda. Oh and they got a new website:

ITV has unveiled a brand new Chaser on quiz show The Chase, having debuted newcomer Darragh Ennis on today's show. Ennis joins fellow Chasers Mark 'The Beast' Labbett, Anne 'The Governess' Hegerty, Jenny 'The Vixen' Ryan, Shaun 'The Dark Destroyer' Wallace and Paul 'The Sinnerman' Sinha on the game show.
Fans of the show may recognize him from another episode from 2017, in which Ennis featured as a contestant.
According to The Express, he won £9,000 in total during the money building round, but his fellow contestants decided to accept lower offers from The Chaser, taking home £1,575 each. As Ennis walked out to make his first appearance as a Chaser, host Bradley Walsh said: "Ooh, no, no, no! Not Shaun, not The Sinnerman, not The Vixen, not The Beast or The Governess - it's our brand new Chaser.
"Ah, the Dublin Dynamo all the way from the Emerald Isle, it's Darragh Ennis. D-Ennis the menace!"
Addressing his contestant, Ennis said: "Welcome Clint! Very nice to see you. I'll always remember you as the first contestant I ever faced - and the first one I ever caught, as well."
Speaking about his previous stint on the show, he continued: "I'm the only one who knows what it's like to be down there, and how intimidating it really is.".

Here's some good news.
Jeannie Mai will return for Monday's "Dancing With the Stars" finale after being forced to withdraw from the show in early November after being hospitalized and diagnosed with epiglottitis, her reps confirm to TheWrap exclusively.
Epiglottitis is a potentially life-threatening condition where the tissue protecting the windpipe becomes inflamed. Mai learned that 60% of her airway had closed and she had developed a dangerous throat abscess. "It saddens me that I will not be able to continue with the competition on DWTS. My doctors discovered a health concern with my throat which requires immediate attention and surgery," Mai wrote in a statement at the time. She successfully underwent emergency surgery for her condition and has been resting at home for the last two weeks — including no talking.

Food Network's hit primetime series Supermarket Stakeout, where the action starts as customers exit the aisles, is back with a brand-new season of fresh fast-paced outdoor cooking battles on Tuesday, December 29th at 10pm ET/PT.
Hosted by Iron Chef and Chopped judge Alex Guarnaschelli, each episode features four talented chefs who must be strategic and persuasive in negotiating items out of exiting customers' carts with a budget of only $500 and then turn those ingredients into culinary magic in a pop-up kitchen setup. A rotating panel of judges, including Eddie Jackson, Antonia LoFaso and Aarti Sequeira, determine each week which chef made the most successful menu and is awarded enough cash for a year's worth of groceries.
"Our viewers have been craving more Supermarket Stakeout and this new season delivers all the fun game play and culinary action the show is known for," said Courtney White, President, Food Network. "With Alex at the helm, there are laugh-out-loud moments and unexpected results in each episode."

Here we go with a Mistplay Game Break. Let's know our US presidents.
Who was the very first president to grant a turkey pardon?
I'll pardon you after a Pandora song break from Christa Nannos. She's in the batter box........and here she goes!
Thank you Christa and now the answer. It is...................The ultimate president of the 1980s.....Ronald Reagan.
Reagan had been sending the turkeys presented to him to farms and zoos since at least 1982, and 1987's turkey, Charlie, was likewise headed to a petting zoo.
