Today, Game Show Network, the leader in game shows and competitive entertainment, and Yahoo have announced a new series, "Hey Yahoo!" hosted by actor and director Tom Cavanagh. The half-hour original series is scheduled to premiere early this summer. In "Hey Yahoo!" two teams of three players each compete to guess what millions of people are searching for on Yahoo Search. Contestants are given the first half of a search, and then have to fill-in-the-blank based on what they think America is searching for. For each correct answer, the dollar value of that answer is added to the team's bank. At the end of three rounds of play, the team with the most money wins and will go on to the bonus round for a chance to add an extra $10,000 to their winnings. Since 2014, Tom Cavanagh has acted & directed the Superhero show "The Flash" on which he plays the archenemy "Reverse Flash." Although he also directs on "Superman & Lois", television audiences may be more familiar with him from shows such as "Ed", "Scrubs", "Trust Me", "Love Monkey", "Eli Stone", "Blue Bloods" and others, while Broadway audiences may know him from the Tony Award winning "Urinetown." Cavanagh recently completed the film "Corrective Measures" alongside Michael Rooker and Bruce Willis, and he is currently producing the upcoming musical "MoviePass!" "With 'Hey Yahoo!' we're bringing together friends and family to fill in the blank with a modern twist, based on the billions of searches a year happening on Yahoo Search. Game Show Network and I invite you to join the search and share the fun," said Tom Cavanagh. "Hey Yahoo!" is produced by Game Show Enterprises Studios for Game Show Network with Rane Laymance serving as executive producer and Brian Provost as executive producer for Yahoo. Al Hassas of Sweet Lemons, LLC and Dean Tempest of Big Potato Limited also serve as executive producers. |

One of the world's most iconic toys will become reality when HGTV taps into the zeitgeist of Mattel's Barbie(R) in its new competition series, Barbie Dreamhouse Challenge, set to premiere on HGTV this summer. Inspired by the singular, enduring popularity of the global icon herself and by the excitement surrounding the upcoming release of the Warner Bros. Pictures film, Barbie, HGTV will harness the unmatched power of its corporate siblings to support four nostalgia-filled episodes and execute Barbie-themed cross-network content and promotions. Punctuated by celebrity guests, pop culture history and a plethora of Barbie surprises, Barbie Dreamhouse Challenge will be hosted by supermodel, designer, author and entrepreneur Ashley Graham and feature eight teams of HGTV superstars as they transform a Southern California home into a real-life Barbie Dreamhouse. In the end, one passionate Barbie fan will get the chance to win a once-in-a-lifetime stay in a home created for dreamers. "By aligning two admired brands - HGTV and Mattel's Barbie - and mobilizing the power of the best-in-class portfolio of Warner Bros. Discovery, Barbie Dreamhouse Challenge will deliver a unique, visually stunning payoff for millions of fans who want to see their favorite HGTV stars bring a treasured childhood icon to life," said Loren Ruch, Head of Content, HGTV. "I cannot wait to see Barbie's signature style get the life-sized treatment in an actual home," said Ashley. "She holds such a special place in my heart, especially since Mattel created a one-of-a-kind doll of me back in 2016. It feels like such a full circle moment now that I have a hand in the creation of her real-life Dreamhouse." During the series, 15 talented HGTV home design and renovation experts and one celebrated Food Network chef will participate in the creation of Barbie's Dreamhouse, including: Egypt Sherrod and Mike Jackson (Married to Real Estate); Jasmine Roth (Help! I Wrecked My House) and Antonia Lofaso (Beachside Brawl); Ty Pennington (Rock the Block) and Alison Victoria (Windy City Rehab); Jonathan Knight and Kristina Crestin (Farmhouse Fixer); Christina Hall and James Bender (Christina on the Coast); Keith Bynum and Evan Thomas (Bargain Block); Brian and Mika Kleinschmidt (100 Day Dream Home); and Michel Smith Boyd and Anthony Elle Williams (Luxe for Less). Teams will overhaul areas of the home with an era-specific style, such as an early 1960s atomic age kitchen, a '70s disco vibe for Ken's Den and a main bedroom decked out in '80s glam. |

TV Tonight reports Stephen Fry is set to host a new version of Jeopardy for the Nine network - but with a twist. The quiz will be filmed in the UK with Australian expat contestants. Nine is planning 6 specials - not a full series - with Fry as host, to screen in 2023 or possibly 2024. Filming will take place in Manchester in May produced by Whisper North Limited. Aussie applicants must be aged at least 18 years of age, and a current legal resident in the United Kingdom. Entries close May 12, 2023. Fry is already lined up to host an ITV reboot of iconic gameshow Jeopardy!. The show, which will air as a 20-part order in the daytime, sees contestants using general knowledge skills to win rounds and amass winnings. In each round, contestants are presented trivia clues phrased as answers, to which they must respond in the form of a question that correctly identifies whatever the clue is describing. An extra round is being forged for the rebooted UK version. The American classic first appeared in the UK in the late 1980s on Channel 4 and was also on ITV and Sky in the 1990s. ITV said Fry will "bring a modern twist to the cult classic." Paramount Global Content Distribution handles format rights and Sony-backed Whisper North is producing in the UK. Jeopardy! has aired on US screens for nearly 60 years. The show will be filmed at dock10 studios and is set to air this Autumn. "In the United States, Jeopardy! is a phenomenon like no other," said Fry. "Whenever I'm in America, I do my damnedest to catch it every weekday. The idea of hosting it here in the UK makes me dizzy with delight. Such a dedicated quizzing nation as ours will, I hope, welcome this uniquely beguiling and endlessly rewarding game." ITV Head of Entertainment Katie Rawcliffe said: "There is no one better to host this classic game show than Stephen, bringing knowledge and entertainment to all of our viewers." |

A handful of WWE Superstars will take time out of their busy schedules this week to film episodes of "Wheel of Fortune" that will air during WWE Week, the week leading up to WrestleMania 39. According to PWInsider, former "SmackDown" Women's Champion Liv Morgan, Damage CTRL's Bayley, and former WWE Champion Big E will participate.

The first episode is slated to air on Monday, March 27. Late last year, WWE released details about how individuals could apply to be contestants on these unique episodes, which will see fans team up with WWE Superstars on the show. It was confirmed that the "winning teams will secure fabulous rewards such as a trip to WrestleMania and other exclusive WWE prize packages." Each star will team up with a 'Superfan' in an attempt to win the "ultimate WrestleMania VIP experience". The trio's appearing include: |

Original Eggheads star Judith Keppel is to come out of retirement to appear in the 2,000th episode of the popular quiz show. The program began in 2003, first screening on the BBC before moving to Channel 5 in 2021, with current host Jeremy Vine joining in 2008. The milestone episode, which airs on March 22, will follow the famous format with a team of contestants attempting to beat a panel of specialist quizzers in a test of their general knowledge. TV quiz royalty Keppel, who was catapulted to fame as the first UK winner of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? in 2000, retired from Eggheads at the end of the last series after 19 years on the hit show but returned for the special episode. The 80-year-old told the PA news agency: "It's amazing. It's lovely to be able to be doing that. Eggheads obviously has been a great success over the years because we've gone on such a long time." Explaining the success of the show, she added: "I think people love bringing teams. What Eggheads has become is what I call wallpaper TV. Students have their TV on all the time, so they see Eggheads and then they bring a team because they think it'd be a laugh. "And then we have families who come on, and we have pub teams, because they always have quiz teams, and work teams and also charity teams. "All sorts of people seem to enjoy bringing teams and participating. I think that's the secret to it really. It's not University Challenge, which absolutely bamboozles most people… the science questions on University Challenge, I don't know what they're talking about. "It's possible to beat us." |

Classic game shows never officially conclude; they come back in revivals. And the latest potential entry is I've Got a Secret, which first launched in 1952. Embassy Row, Werner Entertainment and Game Show Enterprises Studios, GSN's production arm, will co-produce a pilot of this potential modern day version of I've Got a Secret, hosted by sports television personality Katie Nolan. Pitched as an hour, either for network or syndication, and positioned as a game show with comedic overtones, four celebrity panelists will try and figure out each contestant's "secret," drawn from pop culture both past and present, by asking them a series of yes or no questions. The scoop: One contestant might be the billionaire creator of an app you use every day. Another might be the parent of a chart-topping pop star. Or one could be the voice of one of your favorite cartoon characters or a person who made national headlines as a famous baby. Celebrity panelists for the pilot are comedians Nikki Glaser, Colton Dunn, Cristela Alonso and Matteo Lane. "I've Got a Secret is a foundational format in the history of game shows," said Michael Davies, Embassy Row founder and Jeopardy! executive producer in a statement. "To get to reinvent it with a young host of such immense talent as Katie Nolan, and to populate the studio with such a desirable panel of comics is a testament to its natural and modern appeal." |

Dancing With the Stars judge and long-time pro dancer Julianne Hough will now return to the competition series as co-host with Alfonso Ribeiro in Season 32, replacing Tyra Banks. Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli, and Derek Hough are confirmed as judges on the next season of the Disney+ show, marking a Dancing With the Stars reunion for the Hough siblings, who together have won more seasons of the series than any other pro. Season 32 also marks the first without Len Goodman, who announced his retirement in the Season 31 finale. Banks,who announced her exit on Thursday, March 16, joined Dancing With the Stars as host while it was still on ABC in 2020, replacing Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews. She stayed as host through its final seasons on ABC, making the switch to Disney+ in 2022 where she was joined by new co-host Ribeiro. Banks opened up about her departure from the competition series to TMZ. "I feel it's really time for me to focus on my business and my entrepreneurship, and also producing more TV — but behind the scenes," she said. "I think it's time to graduate from the dance floor to the stock market floor… from the ballroom to the boardroom." Hough first appeared on Dancing With the Stars Season 4 as a professional dancer in 2007, winning the season with amateur partner Apolo Ohno. At the time, she was the youngest professional dancer to win the mirrorball trophy. She won again in Season 5 with partner Hélio Castroneves. Hough remained in the professional cast through Season 8, and then left to pursue other career opportunities. |

FBoy Island is getting another shot at love: Following its cancellation by HBO Max, the dating show has landed at The CW for a third season, according to Deadline. What's more, The CW is also poised to pick up a spinoff titled FGirl Island, a gender-swapped version of the original. FBoy Island, a tongue-in-cheek reality series created by The Bachelor producer Elan Gale, sees three women choose from a field of potential mates in a tropical locale, with the men secretly divided between "Fboys" who are superficial and commitment-phobic and "nice guys" who are ready for an adult relationship. (When "Fboys" are eliminated, they are condemned to a sparse, Survivor-like shelter, while eliminated "nice guys" are given luxury accommodations and lavish meals.) Comedian Nikki Glaser hosts and adds lots of snarky one-liners to the proceedings, including the immortal kiss-off line: "Fboy? F-bye." Fboy Island premiered on HBO Max in July 2021 with a 10-episode freshman season. It was renewed the following month, and Season 2 debuted this past July. HBO Max then cancelled the series in December, amid a reported move away from unscripted content. It remains to be seen, though, how airing on a broadcast network like The CW will affect FBoy Island's more adults-only elements. |

Then, it's a twist in the grand finale, as the finalists, each representing their branch of the military, join forces as a team to cook against a different Chopped judge in every round including, Eric Adjepong, Tiffani Faison and Amanda Freitag, for a chance to win up to $75,000 for a charitable cause and the title of Chopped Champion. Commemorating this spectacular final showdown, a special VIP guest visits the Chopped kitchen to surprise and celebrate the competitors. "Chopped is a battle of precision and skill and in Chopped: Military Salute we celebrate the men and women who put their precision and skill to the test every day and who have devoted their lives to their country," said Betsy Ayala, Head of Content, Food, Warner Bros. Discovery.

More "Taskmaster", More Often |
|
British game show Taskmaster will return for six more seasons. Channel 4 announced in a press release Wednesday that it renewed the series and is also developing the spinoff Junior Taskmaster. Taskmaster is a comedy panel show created by Alex Horne and hosted by Horne and Greg Davies. Each episode features a group of five celebrities as they attempt to complete challenges, with Horne acting as umpire and Davies as "taskmaster." The series originally premiered on Dave in 2015 and started airing on Channel 4 in 2020. Junior Taskmaster "will see young people aged 9 to 11 bring their fledgling wiles, athleticism and creativity to the game that recognizes genius at any age." Hosts for the spinoff will be announced soon. "I've watched many, many comedians flounder when given simple instructions over the past few years and I fully expect the competitors in Junior Taskmaster to be both more competent and just as funny. For that series, I will be handing over my assistant's clipboard to someone equally as efficient and persistent as myself because I have a lot more admin to do with six further handfuls of supposedly talented adults. I live for bureaucracy so this is all excellent news," Horne said in a statement. "My long-term contempt for young people is a matter of record but other people here at Taskmaster HQ seem convinced that they have merit. I am thrilled that two new team members are putting this questionable hypothesis to the test and will take on the challenge of corralling and assessing them on television. I will be watching closely to ensure standards are met. I am also delighted that Alex and I return to test the intelligence of comedians in the most scientific of ways. I'll be pretty angry. It's not even an act anymore," Davies added. |

Double the Alex |
|
Chef Alex Guarnaschelli's hit primetime series Alex vs. America and Supermarket Stakeout return to Food Network with brand-new seasons this spring. Alex vs. America kicks off its season on Sunday, April 16th at 8pm ET/PT with Alex competing against three elite James Beard award-winning chefs, followed by Supermarket Stakeout premiere on Tuesday, April 25th at 9pm ET/PT. In Alex vs. America, acclaimed chef and Food Network staple Alex Guarnaschelli competes against three culinary superstars at the same time over two rounds. The competitors hail from across the United States but share the same mastery of a culinary genre, one that they have spent endless hours in their own kitchens perfecting and which will be tested in an effort to take down Alex. At the start of each battle, host Eric Adjepong presents Alex and the competitors with the culinary theme for their dishes. In the first round, the competitors can work together to select ingredients and even decide how much time goes on the clock. Each dish undergoes a blind tasting from two judges well-versed in the episodic theme, with only the top three chefs advancing to the next round and the least successful challenger sent home - even if it is Alex. The chef who wins the first round earns the right to select all the variables for the second culinary challenge, with the remaining chefs' final plates determining who comes out on top, winning bragging rights and a cash prize. Set in pop-up kitchens outside local supermarkets, each Supermarket Stakeout episode begins with host Alex Guarnaschelli giving four contestants $500 apiece - their whole budget to buy ingredients for the three-round cooking competition. In round one, the chefs can purchase ingredients only by blindly ambushing unsuspecting customers outside the store and negotiating for their grocery bags without knowing the contents. In round two, competitors can only purchase groceries from a single shopper, but may look through the bags before negotiating the price. In the final round, competitors may purchase five ingredients total, but can approach as many shoppers as it takes to get what they need. After each themed cooking round, the least successful chef is eliminated, leaving two competitors going head-to-head in the final round, vying for a cash prize. |

More on "Lucky 13" |
|
A BRAND new game show is being piloted from the creators of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. The new series is due to record an episode in Manchester with a live studio audience. Called Lucky 13, the new format sees 13 contestants answer 13 questions. They'll all be competing for a place on the 'hotspot' in a bid to win a cash jackpot. But in order to win anything, the contestants have to guess how many questions they managed to get correct. American actor Kevin Bacon is executive producing the 60-minute show. Adrian Wolfe, who is responsible for Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and Lucky 13 said: "Whilst I would not wish to make a direct comparison between the two formats, there's an engaging simplicity and magnetic tension to 'Lucky 13' that I hope will keep viewers hooked and on the edge of their seats. "It's perfect for adaptation across markets and languages and we can't wait to launch 'Lucky 13' around the world." Meanwhile, Kevin Bacon said: "I played the game and I was hooked. It's not only about how much you know, but it's also about how much you think you know. It's addictive fun!" The pilot episodes are due to be recorded Sunday 2nd & Monday 3rd April in Salford - the home of a number of shows such as BBC Breakfast and Coronation Street. |
