  1. CBS This Morning is going to be rebranded "CBS Mornings" The new changes don't sound too bad, but it's just CBS News copying something more popular - CBS Sunday Morning - yet again. The new format also sounds like what they've been doing on Saturday, but who watches that besides me?
  2. The job was probably always Ken's to lose until Richards inserted himself as a potential replacement. And unlike MR, Ken's a known factor beloved by Jeopardy fans and in the trivia community, his past comments and his podcast won't hurt him that much. It's a funny thing about Ken, I didn't think he was all that good until about his third week, but there's little lecturing about how he shouldn't host unlike other guest hosts. Weird how that works.
  3. From what's trickling out about the behind the scenes, it sounds like Richards has lost the confidence of the staff. I can't see him being able to hang on to the EP job if that's true. Edit: I don't know why he didn't disclose that podcast. They might have been able to control the narrative like they tried to do with the TPiR lawsuits. I guess Mike got too confident.
  4. That just makes me sad because I think Gwen Ifill may have been a good choice to guest host. :(
  5. The executive producer hiring himself was always going to be a distraction.
  6. My main problem with Richards was how shady it was how he got the job. People were always going to side-eye Richards being elevated to host when he was just OK compared to Buzzy, the CNBC guy, Miyam Bialik and, even, Joe Buck imo. I don't mind any of the favorites. LeVar probably can improve, he's a professional with 40 plus years of onscreen experience. Ken has said some dumb shit, but he is well liked by a good portion of the Jeopardy fan base. While they're figuring things out, they should go ahead and give Laura Coates an opportunity to guest host if she's up to it. I'm not going to get too upset LeVar being snarky towards Mike "host of the Randumb podcast" Richards.
  7. Anthony Mason is being replaced I've read that CBS News in general is kind of a mess, the morning show, the evening news... They've been number three at both for years, this new guy, or any changes at night, won't change that.
  8. Maybe, but they knew people thought the guest hosts were auditioning and Jeopardy wasn't going to correct the record because hype.
  9. Beyond Richards' past or my preferences, it's so unsavory to me that they chose their failed game show host executive producer as the next host. It wouldn't come as a shock to me if it turned out there was an informal deal that Richards would get the gig whenever Alex left.
  10. What was up with Sara calling James "High Roller"? Annoying.
  11. I doubt the celebrity versions of any of these game shows are under or follow the strict rules non-celeb game shows have to follow. This mess is for charity, I don't really care.
  12. I wonder if they always planned on the Beast being part of the cast but those plans were hindered by COVID travel restrictions.
  13. Their beards are pretty well groomed, it's not like they have some bushy, Dave Letterman-esque beards. How can anyone tell when the contestants are more hyper than normal? They've been acting that way for 25 years. I can't wait until the audience comes back, I'm tired of the social media influences and actors.
  14. Sara is such a slow reader it's almost painful. I guess ABC was wanted a host that was already on their payroll, but god do I wish they looked for a better host. I'm only on the first episode, so maybe she gets better.
  15. She's probably one of the few people who has interest in this with enough connections, influence and pull to get an AMC reboot (continuation?) off the ground. I can see TPTB bringing it to Freeform with the characters re-imagined as teens or young adults. I can't see any network, ABC, Lifetime, streaming or Freeform, greenlighting a show with a 74 year old woman as the lead unless they do something like the new Dallas did.
  16. Watching right now and I'm a little surprised any Bob era episodes got any kind of official release. Wasn't it rumored he only allowed a handful of old episodes to be released due to his bitterness over the lawsuits the models brought against him and the show? I know he was pretty grumpy and refused to call any models by their names by the end of his run. So when did this show get super loud? I know it was pretty loud by the 1990s and an episode from 1986 I saw somewhere was kind of loud too, so maybe the mid-80s. These 1983 episodes aren't too screechy.
  17. The equally loud, but less chaotic, Bob Barker era TPiR is going to have a channel on Pluto starting December 1st. Edit: From the official YouTube channel:
  18. I've been watching the Alex "remix" to Savage of and on all day. Alex reciting the lyrics to pop songs, particularly hip hop songs, was the best.
  19. Alex has been on tv in the US nearly everyday for how long? Forty to forty-five years? Just amazing and he worked basically until the end. RIP Alex. Thank you so much, sir.
  20. Michael B. Jordan pay tribute to Chadwick Boseman.
  21. I remember that episode where they went to the scene of Andre's murder. Tim has to be a stone cold sociopath to stand there and take his own mother to the spot where her grandson was killed.
  22. I don't remember the early-early episodes, but I did love the contestants coming in and walking to their podiums when I was a kid. It was very exciting and dramatic to me. The gasping is hilarious. I do miss the ooohs and aahhs on Wheel of Fortune so the over-the-top gasps are appreciated. Did they do that speed up thing they do to old shows to make room for more commercials. The fast talking was weird.
  23. The GMA 3 COVID coverage hour has been getting decent ratings, decent enough for ABC to cancel Strahan, Sara & Keke. I don't watch it everyday, but I like GMA 3. Anything that gives TJ Holmes more airtime is fine by me, and Amy Robach is a gem.
  24. I don't know why but I appreciated Hoda crying. COVID-19 is ravaging New Orleans, has killed their colleagues and will kill more people they know and many of us watching will be victims of it. I don't mind tears and anger when this horrible situation becomes more and more real by the hour.
