It's that time in the show in which we find out if the oublic is falling in love with them, or just falling out. It's the Yay & Yawn of February.
The Yay: Jeopardy! They went primetime once again with a National College Championship. In the past, they did college tournaments, but never before since the NBC days have we had a college tournament go primetime thanks to ABC.
The Yawn: Leah Remini. DOn't feel bad for her because another GSN host named Sherri Sheperd will replace Wendy Williams because she can do it herself rather than the former's using a partner trick. Thankfully, People Puzzler is doing so well in the ratings that she can still use a giant pencil to fill in the letters of a crossword puzzle.

It's Big....and wide......and can give you money. See why Dwyane Wade is back in the Cube, but first, we're back after a commercial.

Colbi: Some members of our viewing audience will receive......
A box full of nerds. Because we're geeks. But we're just nerds and Nerds candy lets you pick which side is much sweeter. So go out to the store and pick Nerds at the candy aisle near the checkout counters after the blog, but we should get back to the uber game show nerd, Pierre Kelly!
Me: What's up peanut butter cups, we back Live! in your brains and kicking it in crystal clear monoraul. Let's keep Banging.

The love of a podcast is fueled by those who make it more popular and what ends up on the top 10 charts. Moreover, it's also by the fanbase who listen on the daily. And this segment tells us the details of what it is. This is called.......................
The reason why I chose this podcast is something interesting you might want to read about. If you've been watching the opening credits to MST3K, you know that it's a TV syndrome in which the central character gets trapped inside another place and time or a spaceship that floats away in space forever. Here, this podcast stars Madison Standish, a content creator who does makeup tutorials when one fateful day, she got zapped to another place and time.........Old time radio shows. Yes, Old time radio shows. If you look up The Late Late Horror Show on Youtube, they do old time radio shows all night before you doze off to bed. And these were before streaming, cryptocurrency, electric cars, social media, 8-track players, Atari video game systems, video game DLCs, Zoom calling your parents, smartwaches, the rise of sports betting into prominence, endless news about the MCU and DCEU, the organic section of the grocery store, E-readers, viral videos, text messaging, etc, etc. Thinking she might've gotten out to get back to where she might do another tutorial, she decides to tag team with the best inold time radio. Listen to her tag along with The Shadow, Johnny Dollar, Sherlock Holmes among others. Pretty soon, she'll be with The Green Hornet, The Whistler and so much more. Originally script adapations give it more of a modern day remix to teach these millenials and those of Gen Y and Z the way old time radio was done. If you wanted an audio drama, then this would be your pick to deal with. There's a website to click to......

TBS today announced that its high-octane competition series, "The Cube," hosted by three-time NBA Champion, Olympic Gold medalist, and one of the NBA's 75 all-time greatest players, Dwyane Wade, has been renewed for a second season.
More games, more winners - and more Wade.
"The Cube" follows contestant pairs who must demonstrate skill, nerve and determination as they endure seemingly simple physical and mental tasks - all while confined in 'The Cube,' an intimidating glass box with its own mind and attitude, in the hope of winning a major cash prize. Working on their own or as a team, each pair has nine lives to complete seven games that are worth an increasing amount of money as they inch closer to taking home the $250,000 jackpot.
In addition to the Simplify assist and fan-favorite One Shot assist that allows teams the opportunity to call on superstar athlete Wade to take their place inside the Cube, the upcoming season will also feature a third assist for contestants to unlock when they reach the $50,000 game.
The third assist called Trial Run is a free practice attempt at a game - no prize for winning, no penalty for losing - but the big decision comes afterwards when they must decide whether to walk away or take that game on for real.
"The Cube" is created by Objective Media Group, an All3Media company, and is produced by Objective Media Group America for TBS. The series is executive produced by Dwyane Wade and his production company, 59th & Prairie Entertainment, as well as Layla Smith and Jilly Pearce for Objective Media Group with showrunner Glenn Coomber.

The Masked Singer UK has been recommissioned for a rare two-season order as ITV demonstrates its commitment to the format.
The Korean remake from Argonon-backed Bandicoot Scotland has become one of ITV’s biggest entertainment shows, reaching almost 8M viewers for the final on Saturday, which is the most-watched show of the year so far, as Natalie Imbruglia, or Panda, was revealed the winner.
Two more eight-part seasons – a fourth and a fifth – will air over the next two years, while spin-off format The Masked Dancer was recently recommissioned for a second season.
“The Masked Singer has once again established itself as unmissable event television, keeping the nation guessing throughout its glorious eight week run,” said ITV Head of Entertainment Commissioning Katie Rawcliffe. “We’re already counting down to see who’s hiding behind those infamous masks in 2023 and look forward to welcoming the series back to ITV and ITV Hub next year.”
ITV first remade The Masked Singer in early 2020 and it is quickly establishing itself as a winter staple, with its importance now growing following declining audiences for last year’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
MBC’s format, which has been remade in a number of territories including Fox in the U.S., sees celebrities compete each week dressed as characters, with celebrity judges guessing who is behind the mask.

Wouldn’t it be amazing if all the great champions on “Jeopardy!” could come back for one last hurrah?
The show’s executive producer, Michael Davies, revealed something that could make this second chance a reality.
“I may have just broken the Jeopardy!-verse,” he said in a statement , going on to say that the quiz show will host a Second Chance Tournament made up of returning players “who we believe deserve a second shot.”
At least one player from this tournament will go on to compete in the next Tournament of Champions.
“I started thinking about a Second Chance Tournament almost the day I started on Jeopardy!, when Jessica Stephens beat Matt Amodio, but lost to Jonathan Fisher by just $401,” Davies wrote. ”I thought, ‘Wow, wouldn’t it be a cool idea to have a tournament where we bring excellent contestants like Jessica back?’”

Pat Sajak has had enough.
The longtime Wheel of Fortune host jokingly walked off set during Wednesday's broadcast of the ABC game show after contestant Bree Yokouchi won more than $120,000 during a bonus round, making her the third consecutive contestant to nab the $100,000 win this week.
Monday and Tuesday's shows were already storied: Contestants Lisa Kramer and Mark Baer both nabbed $100,000 bonus round wins, respectively, in two consecutive nights, prompting a bewildered Sajak to note that "even after almost 40 years, new things happen around here."
Thus, when Yokouchi became the third contestant to reach the milestone Wednesday, a flabbergasted Sajak needed time to compose himself: "I'm out of here. That's it, I'm through," he joked, throwing his cue cards in the air and walking off set amidst a rain of confetti.
Sajak later discussed the moment in a FaceTime with his daughter (and Wheel's social correspondent) Maggie on Wednesday, as shared by the youngest Sajak on Twitter.
"I'm running out of words to describe my reaction," the host said. "Stunned, surprised, I don't know. It's all inadequate." When asked about the probability of a fourth consecutive win, Sajak contended "that would be ridiculous" and "virtually impossible."

America's longest-running TV game show, The Price Is Right (TPIR), is celebrating its 50th anniversary this week with more than 30 cars to give away.
Since 1972, contestants on TPIR have won more than 8400 cars. That's a lot of rubber, not to mention the countless cruises, workout equipment, and tropical vacations that are on the show's prize list.
Starting Monday, February 21, Dream Car Week is all about the rides. Contestants have a higher chance to bring home a new car.
Car & Driver has put together a list of every car that's up for grabs, from the affordable Mitsubishi Mirage to the 10Best-winning 490-hp Chevrolet Corvette, listed in order from lowest to highest retail price. On Monday alone, the show will present an unprecedented giveaway of the most cars ever offered in one show: 12. That's worth watching.
Which car will be given away which day? Sorry, you'll have to tune in to CBS all week at 11 a.m. ET (10 a.m. PT) for that, and to see who's driving away in a brand, new, caaaar!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sticking with TPIR, this will be our Mistplay Game Break. Look at this item if you will.
It's a blouse from Fire Islander. Now let's see the wrong price.
Do you think it's higher or lower? Figure that one out after we take Anne Reburn to the Spotify Spotlight. And she's cloned.....too.

It's Lee......Vs. Hayley......in the most crazy contests.......you can think of. Who's gonna win? Let's find out.

All this February, we looked at what the UK meant to us and we've got one more thing to wrap up this month. Babuska Dolls. They're made from Russia and can contain at least one doll inside. It's like going from a small shoebox to a bigger shoebox. But in 2017....................
There are 10 dolls: Angelina, Anastasia, Katya, Natalya, Nushka, Olya, Sonya, Svetlana, Tatiana and Viktoriya. The team of two must choose eight out of the ten dolls to open in turn. Two are completely empty, two contain £500, two contain £1,000, two more go to £2,000, one goes all the way to £5,000 and the top babushka contains £10,000. Before they may open each doll they are presented with a true or false question. Should they get this correct, they have the chance to open the doll in play, gambling whether to keep opening the successive smaller dolls inside—for example the £10,000 doll would contain smaller dolls worth £500, £1,000, £2,000, £5,000 and £10,000. Other dolls won't contain all of these. If they push their luck too far and reveal nothing inside the current doll they lose any money banked. They can, at any time, stop opening the doll, bank what is currently showing and proceed to the next question. If they answer their question incorrectly, the players will lose all their banked money.
To help, contestants have two lifelines and a third, conditional lifeline: Switch, Peek, and X-ray, respectively. Switch allows the contestants to swap their question and answer a different one. Peek allows them to look at one hidden level of a doll. The X-ray lifeline allows the team to view everything inside one doll, however this is only attained by having banked at least £5,000 by the end of their fourth doll. Lifelines can be used at any point, however only the X-ray can be used on the final doll. If any money is won at the end of the game, the team is offered the choice of taking their money or gambling it all for a chance to double their winnings by selecting the matryoshka doll containing a gold centre. There are two dolls on the table at this stage—one black and one white. The players go home empty-handed if they pick the empty doll.
After a single game has finished, the dolls are randomised for the next two contestants to play in the next game.
This was like DOND all twisted up, but that's what the UK meant to us. what about you guys?
