She’s back! The Price Is Right model Amber Lancaster shared that she “hasn’t worked in a month” since the game show has made changes. Lancaster shared that she was returning to film three episodes.
On November 11, the model shared videos to her Instagram Story as she got ready for the day. As she put on her makeup, Lancaster shared that she would be walking 10,000 steps by herself in three-and-a-half-inch heels. The model is by herself since the game show has initiated a one-model-per-show initiative for Season 55. “Pray for me,” she said.
“If I take any sort of time off, like I haven’t worked for probably a month, this is going to sound so weird, but my feet get like out of shape,” Lancaster shared.
Lancaster chalked it up to aging, which is what the woman who did her Botox said it was. “Anyway, I’m working today, fighting for my life on stage,” she said.
In another Story, she shared that she also got her blonde hair colored since she had gray hairs peeking through. “Do not underestimate the power of a good yap & color session with your hair stylist/bestie,” she captioned the post from the hair salon chair.
In the next slide, she said, “Oh, I wasn’t sad; I just needed some Botox and my grays covered.”
Aside from working on the game show, Lancaster also makes money through social media. If someone clicks on the links she shares, she earns a commission from them

Nippon TV, Japan's leading multiplatform entertainment powerhouse, announced today that Gyokuro Studio, the company's in-house production studio dedicated to developing unscripted content for global audiences, is launching two new formats: Fake City and The Kitchen Trust (number of episodes and running times are adjustable to local scheduling or adaptations). The announcement was made by Ken Akiyama, Head of Gyokuro Studio, Nippon TV.
Since its launch in June 2025, Gyokuro Studio has built a slate of game show, culinary, reality, dating and comedy formats. Following the MIPCOM 2026 debut of Ultra Mission, Love on the Menu and Never Look Back, the studio now adds a game show and a high-stakes culinary competition, both piloted on Nippon TV in March 2026.
The first new format, Fake City, asks one simple question: if parts of your city changed overnight, would you notice? Celebrity contestants spend a day getting to know a real town, unaware that a team of Fakers will secretly alter it while they sleep. Using skills in special-effects makeup and film set construction, the Fakers create changes designed to hide in plain sight. The next morning, the celebrities race to spot every change before sunset, with each discovery revealing how the Fakers pulled it off. It is a giant game of Spot the Difference, with an entire city as the game board.
The second new format, The Kitchen Trust, is a high-stakes culinary competition built on the bond between elite chefs and their longtime Providers, such as legendary fishers, hunters and farmers. A theme ingredient is revealed on the spot. The chef has just 15 seconds to plan a dish and a single 30-second phone call to place the order. Then all communication is severed for 72 hours, as the Provider risks everything in the wild to secure the ingredient. Failure to deliver on time means immediate disqualification. Once the ingredient arrives, the chef cooks the final dish, and teams are judged on both the quality of the raw ingredient and the chef's technique.
"Both formats are built on universal experiences that resonate with audiences around the world. Every town has streets that its residents believe they know by heart, and every food culture has chefs who rely on the people who fish, hunt and farm for them. Our partners can bring their own cities, their own ingredients and their own stars, while the mechanics stay exactly the same. That is what we mean by formats that travel," said Ken Akiyama, Head of Gyokuro Studio.
And now a quick segment that salutes the people who do the following things for a living: Someone who can stream for more than one year of his or her own time, can be of some certain variety or within the realm outside of video games (i.e. Artwork, Music), viewership numbers on averages and the category most important: Play Jackbox games if necesssary. Please help me introduce you all to.................
I consider myself to be a "Jackbox of all Trades" variety streamer. The majority of my channel focuses on community games, such as Jackbox, Rifftrax and more. We have a High Scoreboard, where the top scores of each game are featured.
Besides Jackbox, we play other community-oriented games such as Monopoly, Mario Party and much more! We also have Voice Acting Streams some Saturdays with other streamers!

Netflix‘s proposed acquisition of the historic Radford Studio Center lot has stalled as the entertainment giant weighs whether to move forward with purchase, raising questions of how much production space it expects to need in Los Angeles and whether it believes owning a major Hollywood lot still makes sense.
“Netflix has not closed the transaction, and they are not deciding to close it until sometime maybe later in the year,” said Hudson Pacific CEO Victor Coleman during an earnings call on Thursday. “Or not.”
Netflix is the third-biggest tenant of Hudson Pacific properties, leasing the ICON, EPIC and CUE buildings at Sunset Studios in Los Angeles. One line of speculation has been that Netflix is looking to become an owner rather than a tenant in L.A. and that Radford would fit the bill for a sprawling studio property.
The Hollywood Reporter reports that there’s been an extension in the initial 90-day due diligence period for Netflix to examine the Radford property, according to a person familiar with the transaction. The development doesn’t necessarily signal the deal won’t close, this source cautions, though it highlights the gravity of taking on a sprawling production campus in L.A. as filming levels in the region hover around historic lows.
In recent years, Netflix and other studios have prioritized shooting in other states and countries where labor and other costs are cheaper that offer more generous filming subsidies.
The expectation in Hollywood real estate circles is that the deal will ultimately close. “Everyone assumes it’s going to get done,” this source says. The transaction, estimated at $330 million to $400 million, comes as Netflix reassesses its commitments to soundstage space in L.A. The company has been cancelling some obligations with Hudson Pacific, the source adds, potentially suggesting that it’s taking seriously a shift from leasing production space to owning it.
Iconic dating series Take Me Out is set to return to screens nearly seven years after its axe from ITV.
But host Paddy McGuinness will not be back for the reboot — with bosses instead looking for a “glamorous female” like Olivia Attwood or Emily Atack to bring in new audiences.
A source said: “Take Me Out was absolutely huge in the 2010s and was a stalwart of the primetime light entertainment schedule.
“Execs at Fremantle, the production company behind the reboot, want to ensure it has the same cheeky tone as the original.
“That’s what set it apart from more serious dating formats which rely on beef and drama — and made it such a fun watch.
“Emily and Olivia’s quick wit and timing make them favourites and Maya Jama was also considered perfect, but her links to Love Island make that tricky."
Quiztopia | Official Trailer | Netflix
Japan's civility will be tested.
The curtain rises on Japan's delirious wonderland.
In an alternate Japan, the government-sanctioned quiz show "Quiztopia" has become the supreme authority.
Under a newly enacted law, contestants who win have any wish granted by the government, no matter how absurd. Wealth, fame, murder, erasing a criminal record, founding an independent nation, or even taking private ownership of public landmarks - nothing is off the table. The live broadcasts of these quizzes command staggeringly high ratings. Those who lose face severe penalties such as forced labor, but the eager viewers in this cheerful dystopia readily consume it as entertainment.
When the show's wildy popular and charismatic host KK (Takayuki Yamada) crosses paths with a group of dissidents aiming to overthrow the system, a revolutionary event threatens to break the spell gripping the populace.
Cast: Takayuki Yamada Riko Ishida, Kana Kurashina Koji Seto, Rin Kataoka, Yuzu Aoki, Naruki Matsukawa, Yuki Imai Shunsuke Daitoh, Kou Maehara, Hoshino Disco, First Summer Uika Keiko Horiuchi, Toshinori Omi, Masahiro Takashima, Eiko Koike, Renji Ishibashi
Based on the manga: "Kokumin Kuizu" created by Reiichi Sugimoto, artwork by Shinkichi Kato, Published by Ohta Publishing Company
Director: Teruyuki Yoshida
Screenplay: Magy, Teruyuki Yoshida
All eight episodes start streaming worldwide on Thursday, December 17, 2026, only on Netflix.

Maybe #ChildrenInNeed should have closed the show like ITV Telethon 1988 with a Singalong going around the regions with Cilla black, Cannon and ball, Rene, Denis Norden and Lionel Blair with a moustache. #PudseyBear #cin https://t.co/RgBSFEmfSJ
