Do they really need to milk Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as much as they do? I mean, a few interviews are fine but this is ridiculous!

Hefner as the Commander and Madison as Offred.

Gaslit is about the Watergate scandal adapted from the Slate podcast Slow Burn. Joel Edgerton and brother Nash are directors and executive producers on the series for NBCUniversal, while Joel will also star.

UPDATE 23/2: Joel Edgerton will not star and direct Gaslit and neither is his brother Nash Edgerton involved in the drama.

I doubt it’ll see another season on Seven given their treatment and execution of the format saw viewership drop dramatically after initial interest.

Executive Producer of Jeopardy! Mike Richards is hosting for the next two weeks declaring at the start of today’s US airing that they’d found it difficult to get guest hosts to come in because of the Covid situation in L.A. Ken Jennings, who has been great in the role, had commitments to The Chase and couldn’t continue.

Hard to believe there was nobody available in L.A. to take the helm if a planned guest host who had to be flown in cancelled at the last minute.

Was this because of the controversy around Dt Oz?

It will be made by Eureka Productions, which produces both US and Australian versions of Holey Moley.

I mean, it’s been done with Candy Crush and that wasn’t too much of a success. But it’s from the Holey Moley guys so maybe it’ll be decent?

Depends how its done. If done properly, it could be a hit.

I can see it being some sort of speed run/obstacle course, and you can mix things up a bit.

According to TV Tonight, filming of Frogger will take place on a huge purpose-built obstacle course in Sydney in May, and contestants will include US expats based in Australia.

ITV and SKY UK are believed to be bidding for Oprah’s interview with Harry and Meghan. The BBC is not interested. Variety understands that ViacomCBS is selling the program outside the US as it turns out, but if the Variety story is correct it means it is not automatically going to company owned Channel 5. That could also mean it doesn’t automatically go to Channel 10 in Australia, I’m guessing.
