The Jeopardy! franchise is expanding yet again with new sports spinoff ESPN Jeopardy!, from Sony Pictures Television. Hosted by Emmy winner Joe Buck, the spinoff, which had been rumored and now is confirmed, will stream on Disney+ and Hulu. A premiere date is TBA. ESPN talent will feature as contestants on the series, representing charities of their choice as they compete in a tournament-style event for a $500,000 grand prize and title of ESPN Jeopardy! champion. Billed as Jeopardy! for sports fanatics with material covering the full spectrum of ESPN content, ESPN talent will “face off to experience the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat in a new arena: the Alex Trebek Stage,” per Sony’s description. A previous sports spinoff, Sports Jeopardy!, aired on Crackle for two seasons. ESPN Jeopardy! joins Celebrity Jeopardy!, which is airing on ABC and streaming next day on Hulu; Jeopardy!, the syndicated main daily show hosted by Ken Jennings; Pop Culture Jeopardy!, hosted by Colin Jost, which has moved from Prime Video to Netflix for its second season, premiering May 11; and the recently launched Jeopardy! YouTube Edition digital spinoff, also hosted by Jennings. ESPN Jeopardy! is produced by Sony Pictures Television and executive-produced by Michael Davies. Longtime Fox broadcasters Buck and Troy Aikman moved to ESPN in 2022 with a multiyear deal as play-by-play announcers for Monday Night Football. They began their partnership in 2002 as a three-man booth with analyst Cris Collinsworth before becoming a duo in 2005. Over their 22 seasons together, they have called more than 300 regular-season games, more than 40 playoff matchups, 18 NFC Championships and six Super Bowls. Both have been nominated for Sports Emmy Awards multiple times, with Buck winning a record-tying eight times for play-by-play. In December 2022, Buck was inducted into the Sports Broadcasting Hall of Fame. Working along sideline reporter Lisa Salters, the trio won the Sports Emmy for Outstanding Live Sports Series for the 2023 season. |

A "Bad Game Show" |

Created by Santino and Nick Kreiss (Punk’d, The Eric André Show), The Bad Game Show drops celebrities into a chaotic mix of trivia and absurd challenges, where surprise guests crash the game and nothing goes as planned, all unfolding inside Lee’s mom’s basement. Like more and more productions these days, especially in the comedy world, the show is being made for digital distribution across talent-owned channels and platforms.

The series is produced and financed by studio partner All Things Comedy, whose co-CEOs Billy Rosenberg and Drew Eller exec produce along with Head of Finance and Production Drew Agan.

ATC is betting on talent who want to create something original and directly for their audience, while prioritizing creative freedom and upside for all involved.” A stand-up and actor known for his work on MADtv, Reservation Dogs, Harold & Kumar, the recent hit animated feature GOAT also featuring Santino, and more, Lee appears opposite David Spade and Theo Von in their new comedy Busboys that we announced. His long-awaited debut comedy special, Finally, is set to release on Hulu later this year. He is repped by CAA, Leviton Management, and Schreck Rose Dapello.

Gladiators star Lize van der Walt has died at the age of 60. The TV star found fame when she joined the hit series in 1997 and was known as Gold whilst on the program. But on Tuesday, it was announced on the social media pages for Gladiators that she had passed away on April 19. An emotional statement read: "We're deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Gladiators' golden girl, Gold. "Chosen from thousands of applicants to become one of the show's new Gladiators, she quickly made her mark. Although injury limited her appearances, she showed incredible resilience and when she did compete, she proved that all that glistens truly was Gold. Originally from South Africa, Lize was a talented athlete long before Gladiators, excelling in the 400m and relay." Tributes have flooded in for the star across social media, with one fan writing: "I was very fortunate to have communicated with Lize years ago. After overcoming her suspicion of why some random guy in the UK wanted to speak to her about Gladiators, she very kindly arranged to have photos from that chapter of her life sent to me, and she answered all my questions. "It's a shame that so much of her life in the last 20 years was spent battling cancer. Still, she did it with the grit and determination of a true Gladiator! And so many beautiful works of art to carry on her memory too." Another said: "Thank you for being such a wonderful person. Your battle, fight and dignity proved that you are a true Gladiator in every way. My thoughts are with your family, friends and all that loved you. On behalf of the fans, thank you for being our Gladiators golden girl. Forever and always. Rest in peace." A third wrote: "I am very sorry to hear of the passing of Lize. Though my watching of the Gladiators had been more intermittent in the late 90s compared to the early 90s, Lize was a proven athlete and a great part of the Gladiator roster. "Cancer is such a horrible disease and this very sad news just shows that nobody is immune. Not even a Gladiator. My thoughts and condolences are with all of Lize's family at this very sad and distressing time." |

Alan Osmond, oldest brother of the famed singing and dancing sibling group The Osmonds, died Monday, April 20, at his home in Utah following a four-decade struggle with multiple sclerosis. He was 76. Osmond’s brother and band mate Merrill Osmond announced the death in a Facebook post, writing in part, “My brother has now stepped into the presence of our Father in Heaven with honor and peace. His life was not measured in years, but in love, sacrifice, and purpose. His creativity, his vision, and his deep understanding of the Savior’s teachings were simply part of who he was. He lived it. He felt it. He shared it. He wanted me to tell you how much he loved you, and I believe that with all my heart. He gave everything he had to the Lord, to his family, and to all of you. He truly was a missionary. He truly was a saint.” Originally billed as the Osmond Brothers, Alan, Wayne, Merrill, and Jay – four of the nine Osmond children raised by father George Virl Osmond and mother Olive Mayon on an Ogden, Utah, farm as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints – launched their singing career as a barbershop quartet in 1958. They sang in competitions, at Disneyland, and other venues before getting their big break on The Andy Williams Show, a popular variety series where the boys proved so popular they were made regular guests from 1962 to 1967. During their time of the show, the four original members were joined by younger brother Donny, whose youthful appeal and older-than-his-years vocal chops did for the Osmonds what Michael Jackson did for his brothers: Before long, the Osmond Brothers, soon known simply as The Osmonds, were international stars, teen idols and maker of hit records including such ’70s bubblegum staples as “One Bad Apple,” “Love Me for a Reason,” “Crazy Horses” and “Down by the Lazy River.” In 1976 and through 1979, the Osmonds had, essentially, become a support group for brother Donny and sister Marie Osmond, with the latter two fronting the group on the popular weekly variety series Donny & Marie. Still, Alan Osmond was crucial to the group’s success, serving, as the eldest brother, as a leader and producer. A singer and guitarist, Alan Osmond also wrote songs with brother Merrill. After being diagnosed with MS 40 years ago, Osmond helped create the Children’s Miracle Network Telethon, which according to ABC4 Utah, has raised over $2 billion for children’s hospitals. He also helped launch the One Heart Foundation to support orphan. In the game show realm, Osmond was featured with his brothers on an episode of "American Idol" in 2009. Osmond is survived by Suzanne, his wife of 51 years; sons Michael, Nathan, Doug, David, Scott, Jon, Alex and Tyler; 30 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren, as well as his siblings. Brother Wayne Osmond died January 1, 2025, in Utah after a stroke at age 73. |

In a heartwarming annual tradition, THE PRICE IS RIGHT, daytime’s #1 series and longest-running game show, will host Pet Adoption Week beginning Monday, April 27 through Friday, May 1 on CBS and streaming on Paramount+*. This year, the show proudly partnered with Pasadena Humane, an organization that stepped up during a critical time – rescuing and caring for over 1,000 animals in the aftermath of the Los Angeles Eaton Fire in 2025. Each day during the week, host Drew Carey, announcer George Gray and models Rachel Reynolds, Amber Lancaster and Devon Goda will introduce a pet from Pasadena Humane to promote pet adoption nationwide. Animals featured throughout the week include lovable dogs, a cat and a bunny looking for their “fur-ever” homes, all of whom were available at the time of the taping last fall. Since then, all the pets featured were fortunate to have since found loving homes and viewers looking to adopt rescue animals are encouraged to contact their local shelters. In addition, on Sunday, April 19, THE PRICE IS RIGHT was a proud participant in Pasadena Humane’s Wiggle Waggle Walk & Run in Pasadena, Calif. The Wiggle Waggle Walk & Run is one of Pasadena Humane’s biggest fundraisers each year, with proceeds helping to save the lives of thousands of animals in the community with programs such as foster care, kitten nursery, animal ICU, wildlife and more. Show announcer George Gray served as host of the doggy costume contest at the event, with attendees also getting the chance to “come on down” and spin The Big Wheel for prizes. |

Actor and producer Patrick Muldoon, known for his roles in the daytime drama Days of Our Lives, primetime soap Melrose Place and movie Starship Troopers, died suddenly this morning, April 19, after a heart attack. He was 57. Born in San Pedro, California, Muldoon graduated from USC where he played on the Trojans football team. He started his acting career while still in college with a two-episode arc on the sitcom Who’s the Boss? Shortly after his 1991 graduation, he landed a three-episode recurring role on Saved By the Bell. Muldoon originated the role of Austin Reed on Days of Our Lives, which he played from 1992-95 and again from 2011-12. He also recurred on Melrose Place as the villainous Richard Hart from Season 3-5 and starred in a slew of TV movies in the late 1990s and 2000s. In game shows, Muldoon was a featured diner on an episode of "Hell's Kitchen". On the big screen, Muldoon played Zander Barcalow in the 1997 film Starship Troopers, directed by Paul Verhoeven. His latest movie, crime thriller Dirty Hands, is slated to be released later this year. Muldoon also executive produced a number of features, including The Tribes of Palos Verdes, Arkansas, Marlowe, The Card Counter, The Dreadful, Riff Raff, and, most recently, Kockroach, starring Chris Hemsworth, Taron Egerton and Zazie Beetz, which is currently filming. Muldoon loved music. Always the life of the party, he could often be seen with his guitar and was lead singer for The Sleeping Masses. Described by those close to him as “endlessly generous — with his poetry, his humor, and his unmistakable presence,” Muldoon “loved animals and people alike, gave unforgettable hugs, and possessed a rare quality of making others feel safe and seen,” his friends said. “Stylish, charismatic, and full of life, he embraced each day with a full-tilt, rock ’n’ roll spirit.” Muldoon, known as “Bobo” to his love ones, is survived by his partner, Miriam Rothbart; his parents, Deanna and Patrick Muldoon Sr.; his sister and brother-in-law, Shana and Ahmet Zappa; and their children, Muldoon’s beloved niece Halo and nephew Arrow Zappa. |

Meghan Markle is set to appear as a guest judge on the season 18 premiere of MasterChef Australia. The Duchess of Sussex filmed her cameo on the long-running and incredibly popular cooking competition series while on a brief tour of Australia with Prince Harry. Her episode of MasterChef Australia will air on Australia’s Network 10 and 10 Streaming on April 19. “As part of her first Australian visit since 2018, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, featured as a guest judge on the country’s most beloved cooking show,” said a statement from the producers. “Meghan mentored and guided our nation’s top home cooks alongside MasterChef Australia judges, Poh Ling Yeow, Sofia Levin and Jean-Christophe Novelli.” Appearing on a cooking series may not be that much of a surprise given Markle has dabbled with food content and products recently. Her now canceled Netflix lifestyle series With Love, Meghan featured famous chefs David Chang, Roy Choi, Christina Tosi and Jose Andres, and Markle also has a line of food products under the As Ever By Meghan, Duchess of Sussex brand. The Sussexes whirlwind tour of Australia has dominated the news in the country and has seen them visit a children’s hospital, a women’s shelter, a veteran’s museum, war memorial and more. Markle will not be the first royal to appear on MasterChef Australia, with the then Prince Charles making a surprise cameo in 2018, during his Australia tour with his wife Camilla. |

Joy Harmon, the actress known for her role in Cool Hand Luke who later became a baker, has died. She was 85 years old. Per TMZ, Harmon passed away in hospice care at her Los Angeles home on Tuesday, April 14 after a pneumonia diagnosis weeks ago. The outlet added that she was working at her Burbank bakery, Aunt Joy's Cakes, the day before she went to the hospital. Born in Queens, New York in 1940 and raised in Connecticut, Harmon began as a beauty pageant contestant and model before getting her start in regional theater. It was Groucho Marx's quiz show The Groucho Show, later called You Bet Your Life, that kickstarted her screen career in the early 1960s, as Marx asked her to return as co-host of spin-off show Tell It to Groucho. After making her Broadway debut in 1958 in the play Make a Million, Harmon began making cameo appearances in TV and film until 1973. She played a giant in 1965's Village of the Giants. Opposite Paul Newman, she featured as a character known as Lucille, The Girl, who sensuously washed his car in an iconic scene from 1967's Cool Hand Luke. Harmon was married to filmmaker Jeff Gourson from 1968 to 2001; the pair shared three children. She pivoted from Hollywood to baking after sharing treats she had baked with coworkers on film sets, including Marx. Per the Aunt Joy's Cakes website, the bakery “started in the kitchen of her home in California. The name originated when Joy Harmon began supplying cakes to her niece's coffee shop. Whenever she made a delivery her niece would cheer, ‘Aunt Joy's cakes are here!'” A GoFundMe established to cover Harmon's medical expenses reads, “Those who knew her remember not just her talent, but her kindness—she was known to return money sent by fans, simply out of gratitude. Joy leaves behind her three children, nine grandchildren, and a legacy defined by creativity, compassion, and love.” |

After The Late Show With Stephen Colbert ends — as in, one day after — CBS will usher in its next era of late night programming. The network will air Comics Unleashed With Byron Allen in the 11:35 p.m. beginning May 22, followed by another Allen-produced series, the comedy game show Funny You Should Ask, at 12:35 a.m. The Late Show will sign off on May 21. Comics Unleashed has been airing in the later spot this season and also aired there during the 2023 writers and actors strikes. Notably — especially for CBS’ bottom line — Allen is buying time from the network to air the two shows, with his company, Allen Media Group, selling the available ad spots in the two hours. The change will likely see CBS turn a profit in late night. “I created and launched Comics Unleashed 20 years ago so my fellow comedians could have a platform to do what we all love — make people laugh,” Allen, founder, chairman and CEO of Allen Media Group, said in a statement. “I truly appreciate CBS’ confidence in me by picking up our two-hour comedy block of Comics Unleashed and Funny You Should Ask, because the world can never have enough laughter.” Allen has publicly expressed his interest in the 11:35 spot. “Let me be clear … if they are looking for a show, my hand is already up,” Allen said in October 2025, two and a half months after CBS announced it was ending The Late Show. “Fifty years I have been waiting for this moment, definitely I am going for it.” Comics Unleashed, hosted by Allen, features a group of comedians doing short sets on topics provided by Allen. The show is something of a hybrid between a talk show and a stand-up showcase. Jon Kelley hosts Funny You Should Ask, a game show in which two contestants answer trivia questions with input from a group of comics. Allen, Carolyn Folks, Jennifer Lucas, Jodi Miller and Peter Steen are executive producers of both shows. Dylan King also exec produces Comics Unleashed, while Bob Boden, Scott Satin and Eric Charbonnel are EPs of Funny You Should Ask. Paramount TV Media chairman George Cheeks says late night is still a work in progress at the network. The Eye did a one-year deal with Byron Allen to air his “Comics Unleashed” at 11:35 p.m. as a time buy, allowing the network “to go into immediate profitability in that in that slot,” which he said “made a lot of sense for us right now. Byron’s been a great partner to us at 1230 so we feel confident he’ll continue to be a great partner for us at 11:30 as well.” |
