GSN Doubles At-Home Winnings Tomorrow
Is the IRS ramming you hard and you need some extra cash? GSN's offering to help by giving away $100 to every at-home winner on Bingo America on Tuesday, April 15th at 7:00PM ET and 11:00PM ET. Special tax day special. And the good news is that since it's less than $600 I don't believe you need to pay taxes on it, so there you go.

John Stefan Wins $100,000 on “Bingo America”
Edit: The video has sound now! GSN can now proudly say they gave away more money to a contestant on their Bingo America than ABC did on National Bingo Night. Last Friday night, contestant John Stefan took home the main game bank of $1,447 and was the first contestant to match two $100,000 spaces to take home the grand prize on GSN's popular interactive game show. It's honestly refreshing to see. There hasn't been this much excitement on GSN in a while, probably since Grand Slam, another risky big money show.

No News Video: “Debt”
As always, lots of parties + no real news = no updates. So here's a fun video that I'm really glad I found. I'm in my 20s, so shows of the 90s were the ones most in my mind. Honestly I wasn't that into game shows until Who Wants to be a Millionaire? came out, but there is one that I remember, and that was Debt. For the life of me I can't remember why I watched this show since it's on Lifetime and I don't really care for movies with houses suddenly being set on fire starring Meredith Baxter-Birney, but I'm glad I did. It's just an extremely fun show and if the tapes still exist I'd love to see GSN pick this up some day. Enjoy this portion of the show, and you can find more on YouTube as well. We'll throw up more later if people want

Aussie “Power of 10″ Video
A lack of news plus a lack of any time to update anything leads to nothing done around here. But hey, here's a video of the Australian version of Power of 10 which was sadly canceled after just two episodes because of bad ratings. Check out their version. [youtube npCqHG7GP58]

Al Roker to Host NBC’s “Family Feud”
In the category of news that basically everyone knows by now but I was really busy yesterday, Al Roker has been announced as the host of NBC's primetime celebrity run of the hit syndicated game show Family Feud. The announcement was made on Monday's Today show to make for some nice cross promotion there. John O'Hurley will still host the syndicated run. The basics of the game appear to be the same. However, thankfully, they won't stretch one game to an hour. Three games will apparently be played. The winner of game one will face off against the winner of game two in a final match for money. Celebrity teams will consist of a celebrity and his or her family, or perhaps a TV family. However, these celebrities have not been announced

Friday’s “Price is Right”
Friday was a very eventful Price is Right $1,000,000 Spectacular. Gigantic cars given away, big prizes everywhere, and (again) another million dollar winner. This one was on a $1,000,000 game for a change: Clock Game. The videos are below, but I would really just like to say that the million dollar wins are getting ridiculous. I love seeing big winners and also I don't want to take anything away from contestant Cynthia's win. She played brilliantly and deserved it, truly deserved it. Plus winning the showcase at the end of the show cemented the fact as well. However, it's three millionaires in, what, five episodes? A bit much if you ask me. What do you all think? Or were you one of the few people watching Duel instead? Here are

Tiny “1 VS 100″ Update
The amount of disgust of 1 VS 100's shelving/cancellation is stunning and nice to see. It doesn't come from just game show fans. It's coming from regular TV viewers as I browse blogs, forums, and other places. However, it may not be completely done, along with The Singing Bee. Ben Silverman has apparently stated that they aren't scheduled right now but they could return. Honestly I'd be shocked to see The Singing Bee bac

NBC Announces Fall 2008 Schedule: “1 VS 100″ Gone
NBC announced their Fall 2008 primetime schedule far in advance, as well as their Winter 2009 and Summer 2009. They are getting rid of a vast majority of their game shows and sticking with scripted which I suppose is good. I'm a gigantic 30 Rock fan so I'm glad to see it's sticking around for a third season. However, we do have a casualty which was definitely a fan favorite. 1 VS 100 appears no where on any schedule which

April Fool’s Jokes
We had April Fool's jokes a-plenty this year, the most in this decade for sure. Jeopardy: Alex Trebek came out with a mustache. I prefer the real one.
