First off, sorry for the lack of updates recently. I have some very exciting news regarding this site and future ventures with this brand. It’s a bit too early to say what, but I might be able to tell you guys next week.
Over the end of last week and weekend, Canada launched their first game show channel called Game TV. According to our source, Ryan Milhalus, the channel is sort of a GSN of the north. airing such shows as Love Handles, Game On, Acting Crazy, Time Chase, The Jokes On Us & Supermarket Sweep. The channel will also include some reality shows like The Mole and Last Comic Standing.
What they are doing is rather interesting. They seem to be doing the opposite of other game show channels like GSN and Challenge; they are starting out with a large reality presence from the start along with game shows. Do you think this move is good? I can see this working out much better than the rebranded channels. People will be used to those shows being around. They won’t have them suddenly thrown upon theme.
In the week of absolutely no game show news, we finally found some! Thanks to reader Mark O. who sent us a story from the Winnipeg Sun that one of the funniest people on the planet, Colin Mochrie, will be the host of the five episode Canadian Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader? run. “We’re delighted to have Colin on board,” said Barbara Williams, senior vice president of programming and production for CanWest MediaWorks in a statement. “His unrivalled wit and ability to engage and entertain audiences will be front and centre, and we look forward to all of the fun.” Episodes are being taped in Toronto this Fall and will air on Global.
TVA announced about a day or two ago that they will be getting their own version of “Deal or No Deal”, called “The Banker”. As far as we can tell, it’s going to be basically the same game as every country on earth and, as it’s looking now, taking on the US look. Early reports are that the top prize will be $250,000, but that of course can change at any moment. Stay tuned for more information. You can try out by reading the info from the 
Alliteration everywhere in that title. If my Canadian friends didn’t keep telling me about this, I’d constantly forget to post about it. Canadians can now audition to be on their version of “Deal or No Deal” which will star Howie Mandel. If you want your chance at $1,000,000; or maybe if you want a penny, who knows; click the link below to get started and good luck!
I couldn’t even begin to figure this one out, but here we go. A woman has sued famed Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek in connection with the disappearance of a $100,000 race horse that was to be delivered to his central California breeding farm. The article goes on to say that the horse was allegedly euthanized, but no one remembers killing the darn thing. A spokesman for Trebek’s breeding farm could not be reached for comment at the time of the article’s publishing. This is creepy. “What is, Alex’s fascination with the equine?” That is correct.
