Me: Welcome to Game Show Live! Let's get right into it with.......
The Tubi opening toss up story.
On Sunday night, Channel 4 viewers tuned into what they thought was a sleek new quiz show fronted by Bradley Walsh. Contestants were to bet money on general knowledge questions, with the potential to win up to £1 million. The twist: they were betting their own money.
Half an hour into the Million Pound Shot, filmed before a studio audience, one of the contestants, Reece, 30, collapsed on the floor, fighting back tears after losing £6,000.
The show seemed to descend into chaos as an audience member started protesting about the ethics of the game and the broadcast appeared to cut out.
Moments later, Walsh re-emerged on the stage and informed viewers they had just watched a hoax. The contestants, set manager, and even the audience heckler were all actors performing a piece of theatre illustrating the practices of UK gambling companies.
“Everything you’ve seen tonight draws on the techniques used by the gambling industry to manipulate its customers,” he told the stunned studio audience.

The Celebrity Traitors bowed out with record ratings on Friday.
The Claudia Winkleman-fronted BBC series drew an average overnight audience of 11.23 million viewers, topping the previous high of 11 million for last year’s finale.
The 80-minute-long episode peaked with 11.6 million viewers as a winner was crowned. It will almost certainly be the biggest TV audience of the year outside of the FIFA World Cup.
Season 2 of The Celebrity Traitors has not been without its difficulties for the BBC and producer Studio Lambert, not least Richard E. Grant unmasking himself as a traitor early in the game.

Let's break for jus a second and because The Greatest Average American quiz is a mashmash of the things I covered not too long ago, I bet someone had this alternate.......
The Last Word. a 1989 show Wink Martindale made and hosted and Merrill Heatter also produced it too. It's where a celebrity and a civilan pick blank tiles from hitting a buzzer to say what the word is because every word is worth a prize. The last word however leads to all things in common. 2 out of 3 rounds gets you to the 60 second challenge for bonus money. Did I mention Jennifer Lyall also did the co-hosting duties? Guess it's much better than that Nate show, huh?

Dancing with the Stars is a Hollywood fixture, and the team behind The Next Pro wants the spinoff to join its parent show in Los Angeles.
Deadline reports that BBC Studios is looking to move production of the ABC summer hit to California after its first season was shot in Australia.
The company has filed the paperwork for a California tax credit and is in Phase 2 of the application process as it plans for a second season of the show.
FilmLA Says If successful, it would be a boon for the L.A. production community, which has seen multiple shows move out of the city to cut costs with American Idol becoming the latest big-budget series to move from L.A. to Georgia. Dancing with the Stars, which premiered in 2005, has filmed all 35 seasons of the show in Los Angeles.

Remember last week when we talked about Val C. got suspended from DWTS? Well.......
It was all professional between Carrie Ann Inaba and pro dancer Val Chmerkovskiy on the Dancing with the Stars set after all the drama. The judge and the contestant hugged it out on the set of the ABC dance competition, a moment that has now gone viral, which you can see in the link below.
It was Chmerkovskiy’s first week back on the show after his week’s suspension following comments directed at Inaba.
On the October 13 episode, Inaba pointed out lifts in Jenna Johnson’s performance. During the episode, Inaba and Johnson had a tense exchange about the definition of a lift. Chmerkovskiy, who is married to Johnson, posted a shady comment on social media saying, “You almost saw Fresh Prince enter the ballroom last night.” The comment referenced Will Smith taking the Oscar stage and slapping Chris Rock to defend his wife.
After the comment, Chmerkovskiy earned a one-week suspension, with BBC Studios calling the pro-dancer’s social media post “inappropriate” and not reflecting “the values or standards expected of anyone connected with the show.”
Chmerkovskiy has since then deleted his social media comment and apologized to Inaba, saying, “In a moment where my instinct was to defend my wife, I made a poor decision to reference a meme to ‘keep my wife’s name’ out of the conversation, without stopping to think through what else that reference could imply, which was genuinely never my intention. Carrie Ann certainly didn’t deserve to get caught in the middle of my bad judgment, and I hate that she was.”
As for Inaba, she shared a social media post recently where she said that “Jenna and I hugged it out after the Super Bowl show,” adding, “Jenna was an absolute professional about it, and two women worked through the moment. It came to my attention later that Jenna was deeply hurt. So I also offered to speak with her at anytime. I have also offered to discuss the lift rule and how I enforce it.”

Chris Harrison is pushing back against a cease-and-desist letter over his new dating show, The Vow, after it drew comparisons to his previous show, The Bachelor.
In a recent interview, the television host had some words for his former bosses.
“Sounds like somebody misses somebody really bad,” Harrison told Entertainment Tonight. “Jealousy is a tough thing. Green’s not a great color on anybody, is it?”
On September 16, Fox Nation released a teaser for dating reality series The Vow, which had several nods to The Bachelor. The six-episode series premieres November 11, with Harrison hosting.
On October 1, Warner Bros., owner of the Bachelor franchise, sent a cease-and-desist letter, claiming the teaser used the studio’s IP without authorization.
“As far as I can recollect, I don’t know any other reality dating shows they’ve gone after,” Harrison told ET. “So, you know, is it coincidence that they just happened to be coming after [me]? I take it as a sign of respect.”
Harrison echoed a similar sentiment in October when he talked about the situation with USA Today, saying, “I don’t see them going after the 50, 60, 70 other relationship dating shows that have come on in the time that I was there or since I left. There’s been one show that they’ve gone after. Is that a coincidence? You be the judge.”

FOX today announced a second-season order for summer breakout Nation's Dumbest, the hit celebrity competition series that flips the traditional format on its head - because it's the only show where winning is the last thing anyone wants. Hosted by acclaimed comedian Jack Whitehall, the series will return to FOX for a new season of pop quizzes, physical challenges and classroom chaos, as a fresh group of celebrities compete to avoid earning the distinction no one wants: the title of The Nation's Dumbest.
Nation's Dumbest is FOX's most watched summer debut in four years and highest-rated debut in three years. In addition, Nation's Dumbest is broadcast's highest-rated freshman summer series since 2022.
"The smartest thing about Nation's Dumbest is that it never forgot the assignment: to have universally relatable fun," said Michael Thorn, President of FOX Entertainment Network. "Blending Jack Whitehall's wit with a class of celebrities fully committed to the joke made for a standout summer hit. Our partners at BBC have constructed an original format that's entertaining, accessible and distinctively FOX, so a sophomore season was a no-brainer."
"I'm so thrilled at the incredible response to the show and am very excited at the opportunity to get a whole new class of celebrities to torment in season 2!" said Whitehall.
"FOX has a long, distinguished history of broadcasting cultural milestones. I'm so proud to say that Nation's Dumbest is not one of them. We're thrilled by America's response to the first season and so happy with what Jack and our entire team brought to life. We couldn't be more excited to partner with FOX on a new season that's even dumber, even bigger, and even dumber," said Ryan O'Dowd, President, BBC Studios Global Productions Los Angeles.
Based on a format from Montreux Films, Nation's Dumbest is executive produced by Ryan O'Dowd, Krystal Whitney and Jenny Groom for BBC Studios. Pip Wells and Pete Cooksley also serve as executive producers in season two, with Wells serving as showrunner.

Meghan Markle’s latest TV role has officially been revealed.
The Duchess of Sussex, 45, is set to appear on Junior MasterChef Australia.
While reports have suggested that Meghan will host the upcoming season of the reality cooking series, People reports that the Duchess of Sussex will appear as a special guest. Meghan will be in Australia for just a few weeks and that she and her family, including her husband Prince Harry and their kids, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, are not relocating there.
Producers confirmed that the series will see host Poh Ling Yeow joined by the Duchess of Sussex, as they “help guide the next generation of young culinary talent,” according to a press release
. “I had an incredible time with the whole team at MasterChef this past April, so when they approached me to come back and work with this young group of talent, it was an easy yes,” Meghan shared in the press release. “I love cooking with my own kids, so seeing what these young stars create in the kitchen is going to be a lot of fun. I can’t wait to see what they cook up!”
“I’m thrilled to bits that Junior MasterChef is returning to our screens,” Yeow added. “People often ask me whether it might come back, so I know the news will be met with plenty of excitement.”
“I had a lovely time filming with Meghan earlier this year, and being reunited will be a real treat,” Yeow continued. “I can’t wait to meet our pint-sized culinary adventurers - I’m expecting plenty of delicious surprises and a little mischief, too.”

Celebrity Tipping Point NZ premieres on TVNZ 1 on Monday evening. The local adaptation of the well-known British format takes a celebrity angle: each episode of the series features New Zealand celebrities competing not for personal gain but for charities of their choice. The producers promise a broad sweep of local celebrities — so broad, in fact, that they’ll be scraping the bottom of the celebrity barrel.
It is the charitable element that, as became clear during the first week of filming, sets the emotional tone of the programme, transforming a standard daytime quiz show into something far more personal for each participant.

Ok, let's end with this. The Knew Network is in the center of controversy. Earlier on Monday, another company filed a complaint to them about not asking for money rather than superchats from chat (i.e. Kinda Funny Games, Force of Light entertainment, etc, etc.).
