Your news......with sass. Presented by half of the new Avatar movie. If you need the other half, check the spoilers if you'd like. Here now is..... Pierre Kelly!


Me: Hi everyone, good afternoon from the Pacific Bay area and ‬TGIF! Hope you are well. And if you aren't well, well........



Today is National Ugly Christmas Sweater day. But we don't need it because next week we're breaking out the tuxedos and dresses for the Game Show Live! honors. It will be a festive time to honor 2022 as a year in game shows. Now we........get wired!!!!!




Having left virtually no stone unturned on the game show, the TV star will helm a celebrity quiz podcast titled "Amy Always Wins."

Amy, 42, was one of the four major stars who were announced as getting their own audio shows on Wednesday, per Deadline.

The company SmartLess Media struck a multimillion-dollar deal, per the outlet, to release series with Jameela Jamil and Sean Hayes of Will and Grace as well.

"Amy Always Wins" will be hosted by Rob Corddry of Hot Tub Time Machine fame, the podcast does not have a release date yet but should be coming in early 2023.

A statement described: "In Amy Always Wins, Corddry invites his friends to try to beat Jeopardy! Champion Amy Schneider, at her own game. But they probably won’t."



Traitor of Cards


BBC One's The Traitors is only midway through its debut series, but there's already a spinoff game in the works.

The new game show hosted by Strictly Come Dancing's Claudia Winkleman features a secret group of saboteurs working against the larger set of contestants in a game of cat-and-mouse.

Online retailer Ginger Fox has announced a card game is currently on sale for £14.99. Similar to the game MafiaThe Traitors challenges its player to gather as much gold and shields as they can.

However, players must be wary that there are a group of Traitors within their crew who will decide which of them are up for elimination each round.

The retailer offers both 24 and 48-hour Royal Mail shipping so you can get the game dispatched to you before this week's episodes of The Traitor even conclude.

Claudia Winkleman has already confirmed that there is a slightly different schedule for the show this week, as The Traitors continues on Thursday and Friday at 9pm on BBC One due to the World Cup.

Based on a Dutch format called De VerradersThe Traitors has other English-language versions in the works in both Australia and the US.

The US version of The Traitors will air on streaming service Peacock, with Alan Cumming standing in for Claudia Winkleman and welcoming both celebrity and civilian contestants.



Everybody say hoe


Ken, 48, wrote to Twitter on Tuesday: "They printed me a souvenir at Jeopardy! yesterday."

"Eighteen years later and there’s STILL no note about accepting any alternate answers," he saltily added.

The photo showed a Jeopardy! clue sheet - the printed answers hosts are given before each episode and which are rarely seen publicly.

Fans loved this throwback and look at the inside workings of the show as one replied: "Don't worry, we all know you were correct!"


Another penned: "Kinda love that the text of the clue is printed in the typeface used on the show."

Ken replied on the famed font in question: "Korinna Bold hive rise up."

A third wrote: "My favorite moment between you and Alex!"

A fourth asked: "Were you at all embarrassed after you said it and heard the 'correct response'?"





While people in the UK watch The Traitors, the world cup or Celebs Go Dating, we here in the USA look at The newest Bachelor, the NFL and..............................Californians Move to Texans.  It's a new web series from the Babylon Bee and one person already signed for the honors next week is Chandler Juliet. Let's have a look for her reaction to one episode. 








Survive and Bless



“Survivor” winner Mike Gabler said he will donate his entire million-dollar prize to the charity Veterans in Need during Wednesday’s Season 43 finale.

The 52-year-old heart valve specialist made history as the second-oldest player to win the title of sole survivor. He also made history as the first to donate the entirety of his paycheck to charity.

“There are people that need that money more,” he told “Survivor” host Jeff Probst. “I’m going to donate the entire prize, the entire million-dollar prize in my father’s name, Robert Gabler, who was a Green Beret, to Veterans in Need, who are struggling from psychiatric problems, PTSD, and to curb the suicide epidemic.”

His fellow contestants looked on in shock and awe as he continued, “We’re gonna save lives and do something good. Season 43, all of us did this. A million dollars is going to them, that’s it. Everybody, we made history, guys.”

In the past, Parvati Shallow donated $50,000 to the boxing charity Knockout For Girls, while Season 33’s Adam Klein gave $100,000 of his winnings to Stand Up 2 Cancer and other organizations. Various winners have given portions of their prize to charitable causes, but never the entirety of their check.




Dont......Diss........Cris.


Jeopardy! host Ken Jennings has revealed big news on social media regarding Tournament of Champions.

Following the recent impressive winning streak of Cris Pannullo, who amassed $748,000 during his 21 games, Jennings took to Twitter to praise the professional poker player. “Wow. His 21-game streak puts Cris sixth on the all-time list,” Jennings wrote. “Next year’s Tournament of Champions getting interesting already…”

This is big news for fans of Cris Pannullo and the show as it implies that another ToC will take place in 2023, which wasn’t a guarantee. The long-running game show just recently wrapped up its 2022 Tournament of Champions, with super-champ Amy Schneider taking home the crown. But it’s not a sure thing that the ToC will air annually, and no announcement has been made by the show’s bosses.

The tournament, which has been running in some shape or form since 1964, has appeared off and on over the years. While the last two competitions aired in both 2021 and 2022, the last ToC before that aired in 2019, with James Holzhauer walking away the victor. Before that, the ToC aired in 2017 and 2015, but nothing in 2016 or 2018.

If the ToC is returning next year, Pannullo will enter as a strong contender for the $250,000 prize. He would compete against the likes of Luigi de Guzman and David Sibley, both of whom are eligible for the tournament after racking up at least five wins. In addition, the ToC will include the winner of the high school reunion tournament, which was announced earlier this month.



It's Worth the Wait

A new local trivia game is casting in West Palm Beach and Orlando!

They will have a chance to win prizes with a maximum retail value of $225.
