Anika Rashaun, the Reality TV star who appeared and competed on MTV’s The Real World and The Challenge and later became a professional matchmaker, advice columnist and dating coach, died October 1 of breast cancer. She was 34. Rashaun’s death was announced by friends on social media. Cyndi Rich wrote on Facebook, “Anika shined so bright. Being close to that light as one of her closest friends was a true blessing. She is a vibrant soul. I’ll love her and treasure the 16 years of memories forever.” Rashaun’s friend Tiara Ramos wrote that Rashaun was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer last summer. “My world already feels dulled and blurred without her,” Ramos writes. “The urge to pick up the phone and FaceTime her is a reflex I can’t shake. Knowing the pain her husband, her parents, her loved ones, and her community are feeling right now makes me sick. I am angry. I am heartbroken. I am devastated.” Rashaun first appeared at age 24 on MTV’s The Real World Seattle: Bad Blood in 2016 and, the following year, returned to take part in The Challenge: Invasion of the Champions. For The Real World 2016-2017 “bad blood” season, in which Real World housemates were eventually joined by people they considered nemeses, Rashaun was paired with her ex-boyfriend Will. The synopsis for that season notes, “Ex-lovers Anika and Will go together like oil and water: The yin yang pair dated for three years, and during that time Anika was constantly annoyed that Will couldn’t match her dominance.” After the season ended, Rashaun, a New York City native, moved to Los Angeles and, building on the social media following she attained through the series, built a lifestyle brand that would eventually include matchmaking and dating advice. She remained cordial with Will, though lost touch after the show. In 2017, Rashaun returned to the MTV universe for The Challenge: Invasion of the Champions. She was eliminated in the third episode. Theo King-Bradley, who appeared in both of Rashaun’s seasons on Real World and The Challenge, posted a tribute on Instagram. “I’ve been doing everything else to keep my mind off the fact that you’re not here. I’ve genuinely been sad as hell since hearing you passed. I’m sad I didn’t get to see you one last time. But the last time and conversation we had with each other I can cherish and play it back in my mind to smile.” After her stint on The Challenge, Rashaun returned to her career as dating coach and lifestyle podcast host. According to her Instagram, she attended school to become a licensed marriage and family therapist. Rashaun married her boyfriend Kyle Rehn on Valentine’s Day this year. Complete information on survivors was not immediately available. |

New "Battle" for New Networks... |
|
Roku today announced, "Battle of the Streaming Stars," a new competition series from Peyton Manning's Omaha Productions, with Terry Crews set to host and executive produce. Roku has ordered two specials, the first launching on October 23 and the second in early 2027 exclusively on The Roku Channel. Nearly five decades after IMG's "Battle of the Network Stars" first brought television's biggest personalities together for an unforgettable clash of networks, "Battle of the Streaming Stars" brings the format into the streaming era. Comedians, actors, reality stars, and creators from audiences' favorite shows will trade the couch for the field, going head-to-head in larger-than-life challenges inspired by the shows and movies people love. In each hour-long special, three teams of four battle it out through several rounds in pursuit of a single prize: the Golden Roku Remote. Kay Adams will join the competition from the sidelines, bringing her sports expertise and on-camera energy to the action while capturing the strategy and smack talk. Yvette Nicole Brown will serve as the competition's referee, keeping the stars - and their rivalries - in check. Competitors in the first-ever "Battle of the Streaming Stars" will be announced in the coming weeks. "'Battle of the Network Stars' was an iconic celebration of television, bringing together the personalities audiences loved," said Brian Tannenbaum, Head of Roku Originals, Roku Media. "With 'Battle of the Streaming Stars,' we're taking that spirit and reinventing it for how audiences stream entertainment today. Together with Peyton Manning and Omaha Productions, Terry Crews, Yvette Nicole Brown, and Kay Adams, we're bringing some of streaming's most entertaining personalities off the screen and onto the field for a competition that's big, funny, unexpected, and uniquely Roku." "Battle of the Network Stars' was must-watch TV in the 80s. We're excited to team up with Roku to bring that same concept back for the streaming era," said Peyton Manning, Co-Founder, Omaha Productions. "Terry, Yvette, and Kay are great, and you won't want to miss the stars battling it out for the Golden Remote." "'In the same spirit as the original series, anything can happen in "'Battle of the Streaming Stars". Some of the funniest, most competitive people in entertainment finally get to prove who's the best athlete in the room, and trust me, egos are going to get tested," said Terry Crews. "Coming together with Yvette, Kay, and the teams at Roku and Omaha Productions to create this show has been incredible, and I can't wait for people to see who takes home that Golden Remote." "Battle of the Streaming Stars" is produced by Omaha Productions with Peyton Manning, Jamie Horowitz, Colin Campbell, and Dan Gati executive producing. The project is overseen by Sean Boyle and Louisa L. Friedman on behalf of Roku Originals. Keith Geller serves as the showrunner. |

BBC Three Set to Shutter |
|
The BBC has confirmed it will shut down a host of linear broadcast services next year. Among those impacted are BBC Three, BBC Scotland and BBC Radio 4 Extra. The decision was made as the beleaguered corporation seeks to make cuts across the board in a bit to save £500 million by 2028 . “We need to make every pound work harder for audiences as we respond to the immediate cost pressures and reinvent the BBC for a changing world,” said BBC director-general Matt Brittin. “We all know that means tough choices.” “Much of the great content they currently carry will still be found where audiences already enjoy it on iPlayer and Sounds,” he said specifically of the shuttering linear services. “While this follows media speculation, I recognise the confirmation of this news will be hard for audiences and colleagues.” Content from BBC Scotland, BBC Three and Radio 4 Extra will still be available digitally, via iPlayer, BBC Sounds and YouTube. BBC Scotland will also continue as a standalone channel on iPlayer while some of its content will be available on local broadcasts of BBC One and BBC Two. |

Good luck keeping a straight face. Amazon MGM Studios today announced that Nick Kroll will host the US edition of the BAFTA award-winning format, LOL: Last One Laughing, the hit comedy variety series streaming exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide. The series is produced by Fulwell Entertainment. The premise is devilishly simple: ten of the top comics and comedic actors are thrown together for six hours with one impossible mandate - make everyone else lose it without so much as cracking a smile themselves. Every ounce of comedic firepower is fair game: improv, characters, bits, physical comedy, and sheer absurdity. But it's not just each other they need to worry about - the game is loaded with twists, surprises, and comedic curveballs designed to ambush even the steeliest contestants. The rules? You laugh, you lose. And with Nick Kroll running the show, good luck not losing. Kroll, who serves as an executive producer on the series, has spent his career making people laugh against their will across television, film, stand-up, and Broadway - is uniquely equipped to preside over the comedic chaos. As host, he'll have a front-row seat to the mayhem, serving as ringmaster, instigator, and the one person in the room who's actually allowed to laugh. "I have loved this show in other countries and cannot wait to get the funniest people in the US together and watch them not laugh," says Kroll. "This format is pure joy and I'm thrilled to be a part of it!" "Nick Kroll's sharp wit and love of mischief make him the perfect person to lead LOL: Last One Laughing, and we're lucky to have him on the team," said Jenn Levy, Head of Nonfiction, Amazon MGM Studios. "Asking people not to laugh around Nick feels almost unfair. This beloved format has delighted audiences around the world, and we can't wait to see Nick put some of America's funniest people through the ultimate test: keeping a straight face." LOL: Last One Laughing is adapted from the hit Amazon Original series from Japan, Documental, owned by Yoshimoto Kogyo. A global comedy phenomenon, the Last One Laughing format is one of the most watched Prime Originals internationally and has had successful local versions in over 25 territories. Local celebrity hosts have included Jimmy Carr (UK), Graham Norton (Ireland), Jay Baruchel (Canada), Eugenio Derbez (Mexico), Michael "Bully" Herbig (Germany), Philippe Lacheau (France), Rebel Wilson (Australia), and Trevor Noah (South Africa). Executive Producers are Ben Winston, Emma Conway, and Eric Pankowski, who will also serve as showrunner. Kroll and Good At Business also executive produce. |
