TUESDAY: TPIR@Night: The Return |
|
With unbridled enthusiasm and unchecked affection, contestants have always been the stars of "The Price is Right." More than 2 million exuberant fans have taken part in the show. But those fans will be mostly missing when the show returns with new episodes this week, after going on hiatus in March due to the pandemic. For the first time, "The Price is Right" will be without an audience. And that's not the only big change. Host Drew Carey is debuting a new look, sporting a beard. "To be honest, a lot of this stuff about COVID, if you haven't been sick, it's kind of been a little bit of a blessing in disguise to be shut down so much," Carey told "CBS This Morning: Saturday" co-host Dana Jacobson. "Because I had a lot of time for introspection. A lot of spiritual growth this summer. Part of me wanted to reflect it with a different look. So let me just grow a beard and see what it looks like. And then I liked it when it came out and I kept it." Restarting production took months of planning. The set was reconfigured to add social distance, crew members wearing masks work in zones. Safety protocols include cleaning and testing. But executive producer and showrunner Evelyn Warfel, says one thing was not-negotiable. "If you don't hear George [Gray, the show's announcer] say 'Come on down!' at the top of the show, it's not 'The Price Is Right,'" Warfel said. "So I think for us the biggest challenge was how are we going to do a 'Come On Down' without an audience. And we struggled with that." "You have the signature line. There still is the 'Come On Down,'" Jacobson said to Carey. "Yeah, yeah. I haven't been backstage to look but I've been told about it," Carey said. "They unhook their ears and they hold their mask over their face. And if they hear their name, they throw the mask down and run out. So they're just as surprised.". FOX (10.255 million viewers, #1; adults 18-49: 2.7, #1) took home top honors on Tuesday with its concluding coverage of the "World Series, Game 6" (10.255 million viewers, #1; adults 18-49: 2.7, #1).

It's About to Go Down... |
|
ABC dropped a promo for next week's episode of "The Bachelorette" Season 16 after Tuesday's installment, promising "Bachelor" Nation will finally get answers about the rumored exit of Clare Crawley and entrance of Tayshia Adams, which would mark the first time in franchise history that a leading lady was replaced in the middle of a season. In the clip, which you can view below, host Chris Harrison says to a crying Crawley, "The path we're on right now, it doesn't end well, for anybody." She responds that she's "waited so long for this" and he says, "OK, you've just blown up 'The Bachelorette.'" The video then cuts to the men freaking out about Clare is "gone" and they don't know what's going on and begin taking it out on each other. "I'll apologize if I wasted your time. I'll apologize if I hurt you," Clare says, standing before her suitors as they question why they are there. |

Buddy Valastro to Return to Discovery Networks |
|
Buddy Valastro embarks on an extraordinary new Christmas-themed competition on Food Network as he goes head-to-head with the greatest non-cake artists on Buddy vs. Christmas, premiering on Sunday, November 22nd at 10pm ET/PT. It's bakers vs. makers as their skills are tested in each of the four episodes, as Buddy and his team of bakers goes up against an award-winning scenic designer, a glassblower, an animatronics expert, and a Lego builder. With only 24 hours to capture the spirit of the holidays with their creations, the one that rises to the top with their elaborate design will be crowned winner. From life-size gingerbread houses and snow globes, to incredible toys including drivable sleigh cakes and action figures, and to Santa's workshop complete with talking reindeer, each creation brings holiday enchantment to life! " As the Cake Boss, Buddy has mastered the creation of gigantic, life-sized, and incredibly realistic cakes. Now, viewers will be captivated as he takes on his most difficult challenge yet by competing against master builders and expert crafters - it's cake creations vs. real build designs on Buddy vs. Christmas," said Courtney White, President, Food Network. "Audiences will be stunned by the remarkable Christmas designs in each episode, with all their spectacular details and special effects, making each one more impressive than the last." The cake designs on Buddy vs. Christmas were some of the last cake's Buddy constructed, as the series was filmed prior to a recent accident at his home, where his right hand was impaled, and he was rushed into emergency surgery. TLC's two-hour special following Buddy's road to recovery premiering on Wednesday, December 23rd at 9pm ET/PT, follows the dramatic events as they transpired in real time with footage captured immediately after the incident. It's a long, emotional journey, from Buddy's multiple surgeries, to his family anxiously waiting at the hospital, to grueling physical therapy, and to his first days back at the job. As business deadlines loom, commitments for over-the-top cakes stack up, and the holiday season around the corner, the stakes couldn't be higher. But above all, Buddy faces the ultimate question: Can you still be the Cake Boss if you can't make cakes? "Buddy is like family to all of us at TLC, so we are thrilled and relieved for him that he is on the road to recovery following his accident," said Howard Lee, President and General Manager, TLC. "Knowing Buddy's determination and spirit, it's no surprise that he would give it his all in the hopes of returning back to normal. We are proud to document his journey as part of this special." |

Holey Moley! Crikey! |

It's mini-golf, but not as you know it! Teeing off early in 2021, mini-golf lovers from around Australia will compete head-to-head on an unparalleled, larger-than-life obstacle mini-golf course (aka a mini golfer's wonderland). They'll face out- of-this-world make or break putts, insane physical challenges and unimaginable distractions while they attempt to complete the course to reach the daunting final hole. Seven has indicated Holey Moley will premiere early in 2021 with the network's director of programming, Angus Ross recently telling TV Blackbox; "It feels like its the right sort of counter-programming against MAFS, and I'm guessing The Amazing Race on 10, really, really family-friendly, big-scale entertainment." Seven's Director of Production, Andrew Backwell adding the network is unashamedly targeting kids with the new format; "Kids are not watching Married At First Sight, well they shouldn't be." "If you can get kids, you get family viewing and suddenly you have that broad family audience. I personally think it's (Holey Moley) a really good alternative." Aussie golfing legend Greg Norman will serve as the Resident Golf Pro of the epic Holey Moley course with American actor/comedian Rob Riggle (Saturday Night Live, The Hangover, Step Brothers, The Other Guy) sharing commentating honours with 7NEWS sports anchor Matt Shirvington. In between ducking golf balls, host Sonia Kruger will attempt to keep everyone on course. Who will take home the $100,000, and the coveted Holey Moley plaid jacket? Holey Moley is expected to premiere early February on Seven. |

Quibi to Shutter December 1 |
|
A day after Jeffrey Katzenberg and Meg Whitman announced their "clear-eyed" decision to shutter the six-month-old star-studded mobile subscription-video platform, Quibi has declared that December 1 will be its "last day of service." "Quibi has made the difficult decision to wind down," said a self-described "end of service announcement" today on the FAQ section of the platform. "We anticipate that the service will end streaming on or about December 1, 2020. We appreciate the support we have received from our customers and want to thank you for giving us an opportunity to entertain you. If you have any questions or need assistance in any way, please contact us at help@quibi.com." The decision comes after months of struggles for the platform, including download viewership numbers that were lower than expected. The service was also facing a lawsuit from media company Eko, which claimed Quibi was violating patents. Katzenberg and Quibi CEO Meg Whitman posted an open letter confirming that "we are winding down the business and looking to sell its content and technology assets" and explaining that the streamer ultimately failed either "because the idea itself wasn't strong enough to justify a standalone streaming service or because of our timing." Quibi — short for "quick bites" — debuted in April and offered original programming in the form of five-to-10-minute chapters. Free 90-day trials were offered for a limited time at launch, while monthly subscriptions cost $4.99 (with ads) and $7.99 (without ads). One of Quibi's immediate obstacles, though, was the coronavirus pandemic, which kept millions of viewers home from their daily commutes, thus reducing the amount of time spent watching TV on their mobile devices. Quibi eventually allowed users to watch content on their TVs via Chromecast and Apple TV. There's currently no word on what will become of Quibi's original series. Several projects — including the Liam Hemsworth drama Most Dangerous Game and a revival of Reno 911! — already had been renewed, but it's unclear if any projects will move to another platform, or perhaps get turned into full-length series at another streamer. |

The Cube Rolls in Atlanta |
|
WarnerMedia is shooting a new game show "The Cube" in Atlanta hosted by NBA Legend Dwyane Wade. "The press release did not identify where the game show will actually land, though it could potentially air on HBO Max, TNT, truTV and/or TBS," reports AJC writer Rodney Ho. The original British version featured individuals. This revamp will highlight pairs of contestants who must demonstrate skill, nerve and determination inside a glass box ("The Cube") as they attempt seemingly simple physical tasks. Many of the challenges in Britain featured balls. Working against the clock, each pair has nine lives to complete seven games, each worth an increasing amount of money, as they move closer to the jackpot. The ten-episode, 60-minute series is slated to premiere next year. The updated series will introduce a "helping-hand" component, a call-to-action for Wade to enter "The Cube" and compete on behalf of the contestant. |

Welcome to MY House! |
|
BBC1 has commissioned a primetime guessing game entertainment format created by Richard Bacon and Nick Weidenfeld. Produced by Tim Hincks and Peter Fincham's London-based Expectation, This is MY House sees four people walk into a home and try to convince a panel of celebrity judges that the home is theirs. Only one of the people is telling the truth and it is up to the judges to decide who is the honest homeowner and who are the imposters. TV personality and journalist Stacey Dooley will host the 6×60' series, which will debut on BBC1 in 2021. Bacon said: "This Is MY House is a gameshow with only one contestant – the homeowner. To win all they have to do is prove 'This is MY House' but it's not that simple. Three actors will turn up, steal the contestant's name and claim that the house and everything in it belongs to them. They all have competing stories. Our judges have one job – to uncover the truth. It couldn't be easier. Right?" |

There was a time in 2020 when grocery stores temporarily closed, and when they reopened, masked customers waited in long lines — separated by six feet — some waiting hours to finally get in. Once inside, many shelves were (and still are in some places) bare, especially those aisles with paper towels, toilet paper, and cleaning supplies. So a game show set in a grocery store — a fully stocked one at that — to actually be debuting on TV seems like a miracle of sorts. But that's what ABC and production company Fremantle (American Idol, The Price Is Right, Match Game) have done with the new Supermarket Sweep, a reboot of the popular series of the 1980s and '90s hosted by David Ruprecht. Filmed over the summer, after Hollywood productions were allowed to resume work under new pandemic-related health and safety protocols, the game show now has a superfan as host in the form of Saturday Night Live alum Leslie Jones. "The nurses that [oversaw compliance and testing]... yo, they were not f—ing around," Jones says of the production, which filmed at Barker Hangar (often used for award shows and other productions) at the Santa Monica Airport in Santa Monica, Calif. "We were getting tested three times a week. No one could come near me without a mask and a shield on their face. I had to wash my hands every time I touched anything. They were sanitizing me." As the one asking the questions and sending contestants into the aisles on a mad dash to fill their carts, Jones brings her trademark exuberance to the proceedings, where one of the three competing teams of two could go home with as much as $100,000 — a hefty improvement over the old show's $5,000 grand prize. NBC (8.641 million viewers, #1; adults 18-49: 2.5, #1) held onto top honors on Sunday with its usual quartet of "Football Night in America #1" (4.759 million viewers, #8; adults 18-49: 1.1, #6), "Football Night in America #2" (7.030 million viewers, #5; adults 18-49: 1.9, #4), "Football Night in America #3" (10.187 million viewers, #2; adults 18-49: 2.8, #T2) and "Sunday Night Football" (9.430 million viewers, #3; adults 18-49: 2.8, #T2). FOX (8.203 million viewers, #2; adults 18-49: 2.4, #2) was a close second with a full hour of "NFL Overrun" (13.607 million viewers, #1; adults 18-49: 3.9, #1) followed by the "NLCS, Game 7" (6.401 million viewers, #6; adults 18-49: 1.8, #5). Next up was ABC (3.873 million viewers, #4; adults 18-49: 0.6, #3) and the season premieres of "America's Funniest Home Videos" (4.269 million viewers, #9; adults 18-49: 0.5, #T10), "Supermarket Sweep" (4.781 million viewers, #7; adults 18-49: 1.0, #7), "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" (3.838 million viewers, #10; adults 18-49: 0.6, #9) and "Card Sharks" (2.603 million viewers, #12; adults 18-49: 0.4, #12). Meanwhile, CBS (4.036 million viewers, #3; adults 18-49: 0.5, #4) offered up its lineup of "60 Minutes" (8.569 million viewers, #4; adults 18-49: 0.8, #8), "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" (2.741 million viewers, #11; adults 18-49: 0.5, #T10) and "Mom" (1.448 million viewers, #13; adults 18-49: 0.3, #13). And finally, a new "Pandora" (0.407 million viewers, #14; adults 18-49: 0.1, #14) alongside repeats of "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" (0.295 million viewers, #16; adults 18-49: 0.0, #T15) and another "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" (0.378 million viewers, #15; adults 18-49: 0.0, #T15) on The CW (0.372 million viewers, #5; adults 18-49: 0.1, #5) rounded out the evening. |
