Last Week....
(Projector shows a slide of Jeopardy! Board)
Jep! it ain't.....
(changes slide to Japan)
Sumo Wrestling, but with a pictorial trivia twist....
(changes slide to The Three Stooges)
and Pies in your face.
Let's...................get..............................a room.
Amy Irons: From around the house.....across the blocks.....and in your local supermarket, NOW.........in it's 83rd consecutive year, this is the Saturn, Emmy and Tony award winning.........
And now, the (Nearly) world-famous contestant...Pierre Kelly!
Me: Welcome to Game Show Live! Let's get right into it with.......
The Tubi opening hymn.
Jeopardy! is moving with the times with its latest spinoff. The long-running game show is launching a special edition for YouTube. It marks the first step in a larger expansion of the Jeopardy! YouTube channel.
Ken Jennings is hosting Jeopardy! YouTube Edition, which will debut on the Google-owned service March 31. The episode will see three YouTube creators РMon̩t X Change, Rebecca Black and Brennan Lee Mulligan Рcompete in the episode. It is the latest spinoff of the Sony Pictures Television-produced series.
Sony Pictures Television collaborated with social-first creative agency We Are Social and YouTube on the campaign and relaunch of the YouTube channel.
“Jeopardy! is one of the most successful and enduring brands in television history, with decades of cultural relevance and a loyal audience,” said Suzanne Prete, President, Game Shows, Sony Pictures Television. “As we bring our YouTube strategy to life, we’re incredibly excited to build on that legacy while connecting with new audiences in a way that feels fresh, interactive, and native to the platform.”
Kevin Allocca, Global Head of Culture and Trends for YouTube added, “Blurring the lines between a traditional broadcast format and a new era of digital consumption results in something that’s fun for both new fans and old ones. Seeing Jeopardy! intersect with YouTube creators underscores how the two can amplify each other in ways that feel surprisingly authentic and are a testament to the enduring relevance of these formats.”

Before we go on, let me get 3 in the key on why So You Think You Can dance was just an afterthought.
1. It's a dance competition and nobody cares about it. Just like American Idol, it's a copycat format that follows the lead of Nigel Lythgoe and Simon Fuller.
2. DWTS outlasts them all. Yet, many SYTYCD alums sharpen their skills at the ballroom to find stars to link up and make ratings gold for many seasons.
3. When American Idol came back, SYTYCD came back....with a whimper. it's the same old song & dance Cat Deeley gets for the paycheck.

Is Chillout music considered lullabies for adults? Please use #GameShowLive on social media to spread the word and kill the negativity to us, please, would you? At the end of the program, I'll give you the contacts to buzz me but whatever you shall do or whatever you don't do, sit tight. After the ad break, Des Clarke's commentary on why Scotland might not win the World Cup just like the euros, a cooking demonstration from Mexico Express #2 out on Whitten road, a live performance from The Wolf River rednecks and our very own Amy Irons with an interpretive dance all on the one and only Game Show Live!
Now, here it went, your Savannah Bananas highlight of the night.

Cat Cubie: The next part of this program is made possible by a grant from the affilates of the Lee & Hayley show who have yet to respond because they think it's funny and want to knock Kelly & Mark off the air for their own good. Now once again...........James O Brien!
Me: Um.............thanks Amy Irons. Kids, who remembers this?
S.W.A.T. is a retelling of an old ABC show from back in the 1970s. Now we all know it's on DVD online where you find it, but if they done did it on Blu-ray in which physical media is making a comeback, I guarantee it'll be remastered the day you watched it back then with features you don't see on TV that often. Speaking of S.W.A.T., how's this for a piece of nostalgia for you?

This past weekend, we took our cameras to the 2nd ever Bartlett Public Library Book Bonanza and it was a turnout no matter how you look at it.
It was sunny and windy, but it led to an event center adjacent to the library itself.
Once we were inside......
It was packed with authors and vendors.
There were many of them including.....
Plus some trinkets....
But they asked one of the feral Ladies to be here. Who was it? It was.................
Melissa Olthoff. She came here for her 2nd consecutive year and finally got a sticker and looked at her books she wrote thus far. Even better, I got a selfie with her too. Ready?...............
As The Knew Network always says, strangers become friends. I had a fab time, they shall do it again next year.

Nippon TV announces the Japanese adaptation of THE FLOOR, the hit global quiz battle format from Talpa Studios, the content powerhouse founded by John de Mol.
As the format continues its global rise, now spanning over 30 territories across Europe, the US, South America, the Middle East and Australia, Nippon TV's version marks its first step into Asia.
THE FLOOR will air in prime time as a three-hour special on March 28 on Nippon TV and its network stations throughout Japan.
In this high‑stakes Japanese version, all contestants are well‑known celebrities, making Japan's edition the only adaptation featuring a fully all‑celebrity cast. A total of 32 celebrity players will stand on a massive LED floor divided into 32 tiles, competing in one‑on‑one visual quiz duels to conquer territory and ultimately claim the grand prize of 10 million yen. Each duel centers on the contestants' chosen specialty categories, delivering an intense, highly visual, and play‑along‑friendly experience.
The show will be hosted by award-winning actor Junichi Okada, marking his first time as a host on a quiz show. Known globally for his rising international profile following the Netflix hit drama series IXAGAMI, Okada brings a symbolic presence to guide the uncompromising "do‑or‑die" battles that define the format.
Quote from Junichi Okada "As an actor I never imagined that I would have the honor of becoming the host of a global quiz show, so Nippon TV's opportunity truly surprised me, for most of my recent work on TV had been tied to my own interests—martial arts, history, and other programs related to my drama or film projects. What drew me in was the absolute seriousness of the one‑on‑one battles and the 'no second chances' atmosphere. The energy on Nippon TV's set was incredible and watching the contestants face off with such intensity—while still enjoying themselves—was immensely inspiring and I am confident that viewers will feel the same excitement."
Quote from Megumi Hisamichi, Senior Manager, Programming & Platform Strategy, Nippon TV "I decided to greenlight THE FLOOR on Nippon TV because of its core strengths: a simple, universally engaging concept where players "just look at the image and answer," making it enjoyable for all ages from children to adults, and the compelling progression that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats wondering who will conquer the floor and claim victory. Across all international versions, I believe the MC emcee of THE FLOOR is more than just a host; they are the symbolic heart core that defines the entire atmosphere of the the floor. We chose Junichi Okada for this role because of his innate ability as a "Game Master"—alternating between building palpable tension across the floor and offering warm support to the challengers. We are confident he is the perfect fit to elevate the brand of the Japanese edition of THE FLOOR."
Sebastian van Barneveld, Director Global Distribution at Talpa Studios: "Japan is one of Asia's most distinctive markets, with a strong heritage of original entertainment, making it a real milestone for THE FLOOR to launch here. The format's simple, visual and play-along, do-or-die gameplay travels effortlessly across cultures, and the all-celebrity Japanese version once again highlights its flexibility. We're proud to partner with Nippon TV and look forward to seeing how Japanese audiences embrace the show."

I heard a rumor......
.......that the_real_t._terry made a Facebook. The recipent of the Stephen A. Smith award for excellene at last year's Game Show Live!'s honors awards and the newest member of the Stan Lee writers club expressed his disdain for Press Your Luck. Here he is in all it's glory.
but late last night, for the first time in the show's history..........
ABC is moving prime-time game show “Press Your Luck” to Atlanta after shooting in Los Angeles for six seasons.
Season 7 is scheduled for production from April 11-26 at Fayetteville’s Trilith Studios, according to information provided to IATSE 479, the local union representing most crew members.
Atlanta is now a hot spot for game shows. Here's why The game show, which originally ran from 1983 to 1986, has been hosted by actor Elizabeth Banks since the reboot debuted in 2019.
The concept of the show is simple: Three contestants answer trivia questions to earn spins on a “Big Board,” where they win cash and prizes. But if they spin and hit a Whammy, they could lose everything up to that point, with four Whammys eliminating them from the game.
Contestants can win up to $1 million, though in six seasons of the reboot, nobody has won the maximum amount.
So there you go. Will you watch it or will you bin it?

Only the home audience sees the correct answers and real-time scores. At the end of each round, the lowest-scoring contestant will be eliminated unless someone accepts the cash offer to quit the game. The tension builds in a fast-paced, hilarious game that always leaves the contestants asking themselves...Should I stay or should I go?

This interactive digital table challenges contestants to make split-second decisions in a race to find the top answer. In this game, there's only one rule that truly matters: the first player to touch the right answer wins. Brought to you by Interstellar, part of STV Studios, THE FAST AND THE CURIOUS is a Game Show Enterprises Studios production with Jamie Ormerod and David G Williams serving as executive producers.

Look who's in the house!
Richard Osman has shared some light on the conclusion of his tenure as host on House of Games, as Michael Sheen prepares to take the reins.
It was announced earlier this month that Osman would be leaving the popular quiz show after nine years, but that it would continue with a different face, with the BBC then confirming Sheen would make his debut as a quiz show host.
Many questions around this change in host have been posed, including whether the show will be renamed, and whether Sheen's face will be all over the merchandise.
Well, speaking on his podcast The Rest is Entertainment, Osman confirmed the show will be renamed Michael Sheen's House of Games, before assuring fans that there wouldn't be copious amounts of prizes left over, explaining: "We tend not to over-order with the prizes… There are very few left.
"One of the things they're currently doing is producing prizes with his face on. So it will be called Michael Sheen's House of Games."
Osman explained that a handover episode will be filmed, but noted that Sheen will not be a contestant on Osman's iteration.
"We all want everyone to know how delighted we are Michael’s doing it. So there’s a continuation," he told co-host Marina Hyde. "I want to welcome him as well. He’s got the best team in telly there and he’ll have an absolute ball."
But would Osman ever appear on Michael Sheen's House of Games? Not yet anyway...
The quiz show host explained: "I think that’s too meta and you have to let someone get their feet under the table. But one day I’d love to. In a few years. Christmas week or something like that."
He concluded: "I wish him such luck. I messaged him the other day and said this is such a fun show to do and such a lovely gang. It’s a great show for him and he’s a great host for it."

A first-look trailer has dropped for Graham Norton's new "giant gameshow" as the release window is confirmed – and it's soon!
The Neighbourhood sees six real households from across the UK move in to "KeepYourEnemies Close" in the heart of the Peak District, and compete in a street-sized popularity contest where the last house standing will take home a life-changing £250,000.
Audiences can tune in to the brand new show's action next month (April) on ITV1 and ITVX with episodes of the 11-part series expected to air weekly.
The first-look trailer released today shows The Master of Ceremonies, BAFTA Award-winning host Graham Norton, walking through the game show's sets as he introduces viewers to the premise of the show.
"Oh hello, I'm TV's Graham Norton," he begins while walking out of a cafe.
While traversing through "KeepYourEnemies Close", he continues: "A new community, where everyone keeps an eye out for one another.
"A place where you'll always have a helping hand. It's a challenge to settle in somewhere new, but it can be really rewarding.
"Find yourself among like-minded individuals. Oh, and every household is competing in huge challenges to win a quarter of a million pounds!
"Bring on the ding-dong."
Alongside "KeepYourEnemies Close", featuring the six vibrant households, colour-coded for the competition, where the contestants live, the well-thought out, playful sets include Room with a Brew, the village’s café, and the primary hub, where neighbours plot, scheme and attempt to stay on side over a cuppa.
The local village pub, The Uppin Arms, is where households can grab a pint and challenge their rivals to a friendly game of darts or pool, all while sizing up the competition.
And finally, in the centre of The Neighbourhood is the village noticeboard, where the latest community news is pinned for all to see.
The new show marries high-stakes competition with epic challenges and relatable domestic drama, to offer a completely fresh flavour of reality.
The Neighbourhood is coming ITV1 and ITVX next month.
