Bob Barker Hospitalized |
|
Bob Barker has been hospitalized, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed. The 94-year-old former host of The Price is Right was taken to the hospital after emergency medical personnel were called to his Hollywood home around 1 p.m. on Monday. The Los Angeles Fire Department would not confirm Barker was the patient, only that a 94-year-old patient from an address believed to be his was taken to the hospital with "non-life threatening" injuries. No additional information was released. TMZ posted photos of Barker being loaded into an ambulance. His manager told the site that Barker woke up with back pains. His manager could not be reached for further comment. . |

Wheelhouse |
|
Here's a scenario that might play out next week. Wheel of Fortune viewer yells at his or her screen: "I can solve that puzzle! 'I Have to Make a Mortgage Payment." For one fortunate fan, that might no longer be true. The venerable game show is trying something new for its 36 season in syndication: giving one viewer the chance to win a house. Wheel is teaming with Minto Communities and Margaritaville Holdings to give away a new home valued at $350,000 at Latitude Margaritaville, a new active adult community. A winner of the "Home Sweet Home Giveaway" will be chosen at random. To enter, viewers should tune in to Wheel of Fortune each night during the week of October 29-November 2, take note of the bonus round puzzle solution and input it at http://www.wheeloffortune.com for an entry. "After 35 seasons it's not an easy feat to do something for the first time, but thanks to Latitude Margaritaville, we're doing just that by giving away a house," said Wheel of Fortune executive producer Harry Friedman. "Our viewers welcome us into their homes each night, so we're returning the favor by welcoming one of them into a new home of their own." There are three of the Latitude Margaritaville communities that embody "the no-worries lifestyle of fun, food and music inspired by Jimmy Buffett" — as the builder puts it — but the parties didn't specify which of them might a be Wheel viewer's future address. |

The New Hotness |
|
Looks like The Price Is Right scored a touchdown with its latest choice of male model. Former Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Devin Goda will make his debut on the hit CBS daytime game show on Monday, Oct. 22. The retired NFL player — and prolific Instagrammer — will join a cast of models that includes Rachel Reynolds, Amber Lancaster, Manuela Arbelaez and James O'Halloran. "We are very excited to welcome Devin to The Price Is Right family," executive producer Mike Richards said in a statement. "Devin fits in perfectly to Price because he is all about positivity, building people up and doing what he can to make the world a happier place … just like The Price Is Right." Goda already has a way with numbers, as evidenced by his on-field stats at Slippery Rock University, where he holds second-place records in receptions (173) and receiving yards (2,259). Those numbers propelled him to a postgraduation pro career in Baltimore, where he played three games until he was sidelined by a hamstring injury. At that point, his attention shifted to modeling, which led to his recruitment by the team at The Price Is Right.. |

Love Island is heading back to Australia for a second season and is in "active" pre-production in the U.S. as the reality entertainment format wowed buyers in Cannes this week. The ITV Studios format was one of the most talked about entertainment formats at Mipcom, helped largely by six of the international cast members, including Megan and Wes from the UK version, flying in to help the British commercial broadcaster promote the show. Australia's Network Nine confirmed that it had picked up the series, which follows a group of beautiful singletons looking to couple up in a sun-drenched villa, for a second run. Meanwhile, ITV America Chief Creative Officer David Eilenberg revealed that it was already starting work on the series after CBS ordered a U.S. version earlier this summer. "We are in active pre-production on all fronts; game planning, casting has started a bit, we're just getting going," he told Deadline.k |

There's No Place Like ABC For the Holidays |

Pre-heat your ovens and rev up your generators: ABC has announced the 2018 premieres of The Great American Baking Show: Holiday Edition and The Great Christmas Light Fight. The Great Christmas Light Fight's sixth season will get underway on Monday, Nov. 26, at 8/7c. Each episode of the competition pits four decoration-happy American families against each other in an attempt to win the Light Fight trophy and $50,000. Carter Oosterhouse and Taniya Nayak will return as judges. The following week, The Great American Baking Show returns — with a tweaked title — for Season 4 on Thursday, Dec. 6 (9/8c). New host/Spice Girls member Emma "Baby Spice" Bunton will join returning host Anthony "Spice" Adams as they preside over a group of bakers' weekly challenges and eliminations; Sherry Yard, a James Beard Award-winning pastry chef, will join Baking Show stalwart Paul Hollywood on the judges' panel. In December 2017, ABC pulled from its schedule Season 3 of Baking Show after sexual misconduct allegations were brought against judge/pastry chef Johnny Iuzzini by four women who had worked with him at the New York restaurant Jean-Georges. Vallery Lomas later was revealed as the season's winner via a video posted to the show's Facebook page. |

Television City Sold |
|
CBS has selected LA real estate investment firm Hackman Capital Partners as the winning bidder for the company's iconic Television City facility near the corner of Fairfax and Beverly, a source familiar with the deal tells Deadline. The transaction is not yet final, but the value is said to be well north of $700 million. Word first surfaced last year that CBS was considering shopping the 25-acre site, where shows like All in the Family was produced and early television figures like Jack Benny performed. CBS declined to comment. Hackman has backed several notable developments in LA, including the current expansion and modernization of Culver Studios. The home to classic Hollywood productions like Gone with the Wind and soon to be the Southern California base of Amazon. Real estate values have been surging, especially in the neighborhood around the storied Television City site, where about a half-dozen shows including The Late Show with James Corden, The Price is Right and HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher are produced. Next door to Television City are The Grove and the Farmer's Market, which have transformed the area over the past decade-plus. |

Get Ready to Confetti, Eh? |
|
The [Business] INSIDER original game show on Facebook Watch called Confetti will expand internationally — curiously without INSIDER's help. Facebook tells TechCrunch it will work with local partners in international markets to create versions of the HQ Trivia-style live video game show where players compete through their phones to win cash prizes. EMEA, APAC and LATAM editions of Confetti will launch by the end of this year. Facebook Watch will also launch The World's Most Amazing Dog, an interactive global competition show. In partnership with The Dodo, the show will spotlight top dogs and their owners from around the world. Now that Facebook's ad breaks are running in 25 countries, it's able to get serious about monetizing Watch and recouping its content investments. Facebook has been paying up front for these shows but hopes that ad breaks could wean creators off its cash and create sustainable businesses based on Watch. But with today's Wall Street Journal report that Facebook underreported the scale of video ad view time metrics bug that inflated measurements years ago, it may face additional skepticism that Watch is worth studios' investment.. |

Tower Power |
|
Zig Zag Productions and Wingman Productions are co-developing a fast-paced shiny-floor game show, The Tower, funded by A+E Networks International. The Tower is a new half-hour game-show format in which contestants answer quick-fire questions with the aim of taking control of a giant glass cylinder pierced by rods holding up 21 colored balls. The strategy-based game will see players pull as many rods as possible out of the tower, causing the valuable prize balls to fall while avoiding dropping the negative penalty balls or the game-ending black ball. Danny Fenton, CEO of Zig Zag Productions, said: "Zig Zag have recently made a concerted effort to be in the studio game space and we are delighted to have partnered up with Wingman Productions and A+E International to bring The Tower to the international market in what we believe is a breakthrough format." Andrea McLean, co-founder of Wingman Productions, said: "We are really looking forward to working closely with Zig Zag and A+E Networks in bringing the energy and excitement of The Tower to screens around the world.". |

Cat Cora, Graham Elliot Join the Fight |
|
Whet your appetite! ABC announced today that world-renowned chefs, authors, restaurateurs and television personalities Cat Cora and Graham Elliot will be serving up some knowledge as judges on the upcoming culinary competition series "Family Food Fight," based on Australia's hit format. Hosted by restaurateur, food maven and NY Times best-selling cookbook author Ayesha Curry, the competition series will feature eight families from across the country sharing a common kitchen and a common goal: to claim the title of America's No. 1 Food Family. Cat Cora has shattered the glass ceiling as one of the first females to dominate the culinary industry, becoming the first female inducted into The American Academy of Chefs Culinary Hall of Fame. As a mom of six, Cora's passion for health, wellness and food extends beyond the kitchen, having been at the forefront of creating a nationwide revolution of eating well, opening more than 18 restaurants across the U.S. and globally. Having made a commitment to promoting nutrition education, hunger emergency relief and humanitarian aid to reduce hunger worldwide, Cora also created her nonprofit Chefs for Humanity in 2004. She continues to be a leader in her industry as she masterfully synchronizes her award-winning talents with mainstream accessibility, all while she evolves into a space beyond the culinary world. At age 27, Graham Elliot became the youngest four-star chef to be named in any major U.S. city. The recipient of many prestigious accolades, including multiple James Beard Foundation Nominations, Elliot opened his eponymous restaurant, Graham Elliot, in 2008, which went on to become one of only 15 restaurants in the U.S. to be awarded two Michelin stars. Most recently, Elliot launched his first restaurant project in Asia, Coast at MGM Cotai, in addition to unveiling his new concept, Gideon Sweet, a collaboration with his friend and mentor, Matthias Merges, in Chicago's West Loop. Elliot extends his relationship with Endemol Shine North America after having participated in 10 seasons of the company's hit "MasterChef" and "MasterChef Junior" franchise. He is also currently a judge on Bravo's "Top Chef." On "Family Food Fight," family teams will pull out their best culinary moves in the kitchen, serving up authentic family dishes rich in cultural heritage, taking homestyle cooking to a whole new level. Cora and Elliot, along with host Curry, will lend their expert palates to help determine which family team will walk away with the coveted title of America's No. 1 Food Family and take home the $100,000 prize. Production is set to begin in Los Angeles later this month. An airdate will be announced at a later date. Produced by Endemol Shine North America, "Family Food Fight" was created by Endemol Shine Australia with Nine in Australia and was recently renewed for a second season. Curry, Robert Flutie and Shab Azma are serving as executive producers through Yardie Girl Productions; and DJ Nurre, Georgie Hurford-Jones and Faye Stapleton are serving as executive producers for Endemol Shine North America. |

TBS Is In Misery |
|
Turner's TBS has ordered the comedy game show Misery Index, a new unscripted series inspired by the outrageously entertaining card game Sh*t Happens. Critically acclaimed and in demand comedy troupe The Tenderloins - Brian "Q" Quinn, James "Murr" Murray, Joe Gatto and Sal Vulcano - creators and stars of truTV's Impractical Jokers, cable's #1 original comedy series, have joined the series to help infuse comic relief. The game will feature two teams - each consisting of one contestant and two Tenderloins. Teams will compete against each other by attempting to determine the ranking of hilarious and miserable real-life events - from getting fired to accidentally sexting your grandfather - on a scale of 1-100. Misery Index is developed by comedy writer Andy Breckman (Monk), along with Ben & Dan Newmark of Grandma's House Entertainment. The series is executive produced by Breckman, the Newmarks, Adam Bold of Grandma's House Entertainment, Howard Klein of 3 Arts Entertainment, and Rob Anderson, who will serve as showrunner. "Andy Breckman and the Newmarks have hilariously gamified embarrassment, humiliation and total misery" said Michael Bloom, senior vice president of unscripted and specials for TBS and TNT. "Adding The Tenderloins brings unpredictable fun to this game." The network is adding 10 episodes of the half-hour comedy to its successful lineup of unscripted programs including Snoop Dogg Presents The Joker's Wild and Drop the Mic, the top two new unscripted cable comedies of 2017. |

The network on Wednesday announced that supermodel Karlie Kloss will take over as host for Season 17 of Project Runway, while designer Christian Siriano — who won the show's fourth season back in 2008 — will come aboard as mentor. Elle editor Nina Garcia will return as a judge, joined by two newcomers: fashion designer Brandon Maxwell and former Teen Vogue EIC Elaine Welteroth. Though an exact premiere date wasn't announced, you can expect the new Project Runway to bow sometime in 2019. Runway's move from Lifetime to Bravo, which is where it initially premiered in 2004, was announced by Andy Cohen at NBC Universal's Upfronts presentation in May. Four months later, Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn announced that they were leaving the franchise to begin a new venture at Amazon. |
