(crowd applauses; Pierre comes out the Jeep Safari)


Me: Thank you all for the ride. Welcome to the 7th annual Game Show Live! honors in the Not-So-Enchanted tiki room somewhere in Africa. Thanks to a rocket plane and a few million miles of safari land with tons of Cracker Crunchers and Bubly drinks in tow, we finally got there with some land to spare and now everybody has camped out the week before the big day, but before we got there, we have Robyn Cage directing her DodoRemi band with us for the first time this year and her 7th straight honors as a musical director. Hi Robyn. Yes, 2023 was the year in which AI is taking over, Taylor Swift ruining the NFL and you're never old enough to make a song with the word "padam" in it. 


(audience laughter)


But enough of this Kylie stuff even though she's old enough to a make a jazz album herself....


(audience laughter)


We got to get to this ceremony. We start with old shows being new shows and new shows being old shows. Maybe the last few words might've been thinking about digital subchannels.....


(light laughter)


but anyway, here are the nominees.......
