Amy Irons: From around the world....across the country....and in your neighborhoods, NOW......in it's 7th consecutive year, this is.................................
And now, the (Nearly) world-famous contestant....Pierre Kelly!
Me: Welcome to Game Show Live! Let's get right into it with.......
The Talking Through The Medias opening toss up story.
Ken Jennings is sharing his thoughts on Mayim Bialik's exit as host of Jeopardy!. The two had been sharing hosting duties on the syndicated show and its primetime specials.
Jennings now will take over as sole host of the syndicated game show after Bialik announced on December 15 that she would not be returning.
"It took me off guard, because I loved working with my Mayim and I'm gonna miss her," Jennings told The Hollywood Reporter in an interview published Tuesday. "I can't speak to her decision-making process or her opinions about it. But on my end, I'm just a fan of Jeopardy! and I'm always delighted to host when they call upon me. I just feel extremely lucky to have even been considered for this job as a non-broadcaster."
"Sony has informed me that I will no longer be hosting the syndicated version of Jeopardy!" Bialik wrote. "I am incredibly honored to have been nominated for a primetime Emmy for hosting this year and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of the Jeopardy! family."
Former show champion Ken Jennings has been hosting season 40 of the syndicated show by himself.
Sony Pictures Television in a statement noted Bialik was the one who announced her departure.
"We made the decision to have one host for the syndicated show next season to maintain continuity for our viewers, and Ken Jennings will be the sole host for syndicated Jeopardy!" Sony said. "We are truly grateful for all of Mayim's contributions to Jeopardy!, and we hope to continue to work with her on primetime specials."
Sony insiders told TMZ that contrary to rumors, bosses at the company weren't upset Mayim walked off the job in solidarity with striking writers in the summer. However, during her absence, as Jennings handled all the shows, execs realized that they didn't need two hosts. The sources said that it was also difficult for production to work around Mayim's filming schedule on her series, Call Me Kat.
However, Jeopardy" was still interested in having Bialik host their primetime specials, but Mayim allegedly wanted all or nothing. Sony said no to that and Mayim then put out her statement without consulting anyone at the show. Nonetheless, producers would still be open to Mayim hosting the special shows and the ball is in her court.

The BBC has released the first trailer for its upcoming Gladiators reboot.
Based on "American Gladiators" by Johnny Ferraro & Dan Carr, the game show, which originally aired on ITV between 1992 and 2000 before a brief revival on Sky in the late 2000s, is set to move to the BBC for a new 11-episode series early next year.
The trailer offers fans a sneak peek at the contestants set to go head-to-head against a group of elite athletes and bodybuilders known as 'The Gladiators'.
The competitors will take part in a series of speed and strength challenges, all under the watchful guidance of hosts Bradley Walsh and his son Barney.
The revival will include brand-new games alongside returning classics such as Duel (Joust) and Hang Tough, which will culminate at the end of each episode with fan favorite challenge The Eliminator.
A new 16 member line-up was confirmed earlier in the year, though two of the gladiators had to step away from filming due to injuries.

'Memba This?
Dancing on Ice has officially signed a new host, according to reports. Stephen Mulhern is reportedly replacing Phillip Schofield on the hit ITV ice skating competition.
Phillip had presented the show since the beginning in 2006, at first with Christine Lampard and then with former This Morning colleague Holly Willoughby. It has still not been revealed whether Holly will return to the show in January.
Holly, who quit This Morning following an alleged kidnapping plot earlier this year, was seen in public for the first time today since quitting the show and taking time out to spend with her family. And it is believed that Stephen's reported official signing to the show could help convince Holly to return.
Stephen stood in for Phillip - alongside Holly - in February 2022 when Phillip had by Covid. Together they also presented Holly & Stephen's Saturday Showdown on CITV in the early Noughties.
A TV insider told The Sun : "Stephen is hugely loved by viewers, is a consummate professional and as an added bonus has worked with Holly for decades - they both started out in telly together. Knowing Stephen will be there beside her could be the comfort blanket Holly needs to say yes."

And now for some Bachelor history.
Love awaits as 32 extraordinary women - the most to ever arrive at the mansion on night one - make "Bachelor" history and prepare to open their hearts to Joey Graziadei. His journey begins during the 28th season of "The Bachelor," MONDAY, JAN. 22 (8:00-10:01 p.m. EST), on ABC. Watch episodes on demand and on Hulu the day following their premieres.
Joey Graziadei is a 28-year-old teaching tennis pro from Collegeville, Pennsylvania, who stole America's hearts on season 20 of "The Bachelorette" with his loyalty, thoughtfulness and compassion for others. Before his emotional exit, audiences saw Joey open up about his family values and how those closest to him have influenced his desire to find lasting love. As the Bachelor, Joey is looking for a life partner who is outgoing, caring and shares his love for adventure and exploring the outdoors. He loves hiking, surfing, and ending his days watching the sunset, but knows he has much more love to give and the only thing missing is someone with whom to share his life.
Two realtors, three "account executives," a radiochemist, and a pair of sisters (!) — these are just some of the women who will be competing to "win" Joey's hand.

Lionsgate said today its acquisition of global entertainment platform eOne from Hasbro is done.
The transaction announced last August adds 6,500 film and television titles to Lionsgate's large library; diversifies and strengthens its scripted and unscripted television businesses; extends its portfolio of brands and franchises; and expands its presence in Canada and the UK.
The deal is for $375 million in cash plus the assumption of some production financing loans.
EOne produces ABC hit franchise The Rookie, critically-acclaimed Showtime series Yellowjackets, and the long-running Discovery unscripted series Naked & Afraid. The library has 1917, Atomic Blonde, Green Book, Grey's Anatomy, Criminal Minds, Renegade and Designated Survivor. The transaction also includes film development rights to Hasbro's Monopoly brand. Lionsgate knows that property well and had specifically carved out the film development rights as part of the overall deal. Most Hasbro IP led by family brands will remain with the Pawtucket, RI-based toymaker including animated projects Peppa Pig, Transformers: EarthSpark, and My Little Pony: Tell Your Tale. Hasbro's restructured creative development and business affairs team — now called Hasbro Entertainment — will be shepherding its projects and development of franchises that also include GI Joe, Play-Doh, D&D, Magic: The Gathering, Power Rangers and the company's board game portfolio. When the eOne deal was announced in August, Hasbro said it had 30+ projects in development.

Take The Floor.
Fox has set an early 2024 premiere date for its new game show The Floor, hosted and produced by Rob Lowe. The Floor, from Big Brother and The Voice creator John de Mol, will launch Tuesday, Jan. 2 at 9 PM on Fox.
The Floor is a physical, trivia quiz show that sees 81 contestants face off in quiz duels on a giant LED floor divided into a hundred equal squares, each representing its own field of knowledge.
The first challenger, selected at random, must choose one of his or her neighboring opponents to go head-to-head in an epic quiz duel in the opponent's category. The winner takes over the loser's square, gaining valuable ground as they expand their territory, while the loser exits the game. The winner must then choose – do they continue on and attempt to secure another square? Or do they let The Floor choose a new challenger? The last contestant standing who gains full control over The Floor takes home a life-changing $250,000 cash prize.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And we hit the floor for a Mistplay Game Break. What SNES game is this?
Name that game after Jax comes into the Spotify Soundstage with this one.
And now we snap back at the answer.
