New “Millionaire” Website Launches; Play the New Game

Who Wants to be a Millionaire launched their new website today. You can see some shots of the new set, what some of the graphics and other things will look like, and the complete list of new rules. More importantly, though, you get to play the new game. A Flash version containing the new rules, graphics, and music is included. I'm getting a kick out of many of the doom-and-gloomers who are now saying, "Hey, this is pretty fun," like I've said from the start, but there we go. Take a look around, play a game, and let us know what you think.

Before They Were Chasers: Anne Hegerty

This is the final part of a three part series where I dig though the archives and show you game show footage from the past that feature the three current chasers on ITV's hit game show, The Chase. The third and final chaser I am profiling this week is Anne Hegerty. After the sucess of the pilot series in 2009, the producers were after a female chaser to join Shaun Wallace and Mark Labbet for the second series. Anne auditioned for this role and was sucessfully selected. Unlike Shaun and Mark, Anne has not appeared on many game shows in the last few years. She is one of the few to have appeared on the original Mastermind (with Magnus Magnusson) in 1988 and the revivial series (with John Humphrys) in 2003. Whilst she appeared on the

A double feature for you this weekend. The final episodes of 101 Ways to Leave a Gameshow and Magic Numbers aired last night and I have some clips from those shows. After last weeks 101 Ways in Under 15 Minutes, there have been a few requests to post more from the extreme Endemol show. So here is the final episode squeezed under seventeen minutes, this includes the Emergency Exit and final rounds. 101 Ways finished on a series low of only 2.39 million. The first show obtained 4.19 million but it hasn't been pulling in the viewers over the last few weeks.

New MTV and Kids Game Shows Now Casting

We've got two new game shows casting for you all this morning. The first is a new MTV relationship game show which looks nearly identical to an older one. This show is searching for what they call "throuples". If you're like me and became sad for the English language when you heard that because it's not a word, they say it's people dating two or more others at once. The show will pit your two partners against each other to see who knows you best. Next is a new kids game show from Rubicon Entertainment. The show is looking for teams of three kids, aged between 10 and 15, who live near the Los Angeles area. The teams playing have a chance to win up to $1,500 and prizes that they will choose themselves. Read on for the full story on each show and how to play.

101 Ways in Under 15 Minutes

As some readers on this site cannot get enough with 101 Ways to Leave a Game Show, I have a special treat for you. As you have already seen the final round in motion a few weeks ago, the latest video includes the recent exits from Saturday's episode, as well as the Emergency Exit round, which can happen at any time between round one and the final. In a nutshell, this is 101 ways to Leave a Game Show in Under 15 Minutes. Although the show proved popular when it started last month, the latest ratings have fallen from 4.19 million on the first show to 2.82m on the latest show on Saturday.
