If you never had a reason to feel bad for the One on “1 vs. 100″, now you have it. Brad Rutter is joining the mob. If you don’t know, Brad Rutter won over $3,000,000 on “Jeopardy!” and defeated Ken Jennings in the Ultimate Tournament of Champions, so if you go on “1 vs 100″ and you are up against him, dash away that hope at a million. However, with the tricky writing and quick time frame, could he be gone sooner than we think?

We have gotten reports that, along with Tom Bergeron from “Dancing With the Stars” and “Hollywood Squares”, Al Roker has been a guest host on the syndicated version of “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?”. According to reports from audience members, the episodes will air in the beginning of the summer, but this may change.
I just got done talking to a panel member on the show “I’ve Got A Secret”, currently on at 9;30PM ET on GSN, and she stated that in October, GSN decided not to make any more episodes, so unless some freakish reversal order comes in it’s officially cancelled. It’s a true shame in my eyes, as I thought it was incredibly funny and entertaining. It also scored very nice ratings (at GSN standards) at the 11:30PM ET time slot, seeing ratings in the .3-.4.
Edit: I completely forgot that “Anything to Win” had scores in that area, with the Tanya Harding episode earning a .7.
NBC released their midseason schedule shuffle today, and Deal or No Deal is moving to Wednesday nights at 9 PM EST. We don’t know exactly when this change should happen, though.
NOTE: 1 vs. 100 will still be on Fridays at 8 PM EST.
This is somewhat of a surprise. The Rich List, based on the UK rules, is now headed to Australia. Andrew O’Keefe, the host of Aussie Deal or No Deal, is slated to host. Taping starts the week of December 11th in South Melbourne.
No word yet on other specifics.
We may have overlooked this before, but “Catminster”, GSN’s cat show, has an airdate. It will be seen as a special on Tuesday, March 27th 2007 from 8PM ET to 10PM ET. It is hosted by Bob Goen (”That’s The Question”) and Marianne Curan.
I have a tiny correction about the MTV game show I talked about before. A bit ago, I mentioned MTV looking for models for a game “Top Model”. That was false, and they are looking for models for the game show discussed a long time ago called “IQ”. Also now casting is a show called “Cred”, which is looking for while guys and ladies who think they know the hip hop world.
It’s the day of casting around here. We just got this email from NBC about a new “Deal or No Deal” casting call:
