It is so hot that Alec Baldwin just got a chubby over it. That’s because ABC is bringing back Match Game and he is hosting it. According to Vulture, the 10 1-hour episodes will air this summer at 10p after Celebrity Family Feud and $10,000 Pyramid hosted by Michael Strahan. The only thing ABC is missing is Hollywood Squares at 7p and then it would be a ’70s game show fan’s wet dream.
Actually I really like that we are getting a full night of game shows, and I hope that the networks will consider doing it in the regular season too. Lord knows that it will do better than what they have now for the most part.
UPDATE: ABC just confirmed the news about Match Game returning on June 26th. In the press release, they reveal that Baldwin is foregoing his salary. Why? He says that, “Hilaria and I are thrilled to donate this fee to arts related charities. And we look forward to having a lot of fun.” Normally, I don’t like him, but this one little notion completely changed my opinion of him. I wish more celebrities who don’t need the money would do things like this. Don’t you?
Diane Kruger and Norman Reedus have gotten along so great while and after filming The Sky, that people wondered if there was something between them. Which there is not.
But, when the two of them interviewed each other for Buzzfeed, he wanted to know who was the “meanest actor you’ve ever worked with?” She didn’t hesitate when she told him it was her Troy co-star, the legendary Peter O’Toole. She said, “I know! It kind of sucked. He’s dead, so I can say that. But he wasn’t the most pleasant person.” As their chat went on, The Walking Dead star wanted to know why she didn’t like her now dead co-star. She told him, “He was just a drunk, and Peter O’Toole. You know, he had a two-day part, and I played Helen of Troy and he was Peter O’Toole, and he just wanted to make sure that everybody knew that he was Peter O’Toole. And he could barely make it up the stairs. We were on a set that was — you know, you have to climb, like, I don’t know, 100 steps to go up.” Then she continued, “But to work with, he was just — first of all, everybody thought he was gonna die right there and then. Because it was, you know, 120 degrees, and he had to walk up 100 stairs. And he was very old, and very drunk.”
Yeah, but he was Peter O’Toole, he could that because he was Peter O’Toole. He earned for the right for everyone to know that he was Peter O’Toole.
Bob Saget’s TV daughter, Jodie Sweeten, is on Dancing with the Stars and he really wants her to win. So much so, he is asked Tom Bergeron, the man who replaced him on America’s Funniest Video’s, to fix Dancing with the Stars to make it happen. Did Bergeron agree to do it? At least not on camera. We will find out in a few weeks if he agreed to do it off camera.
But I don’t think he would do that. Although without the Houghs on the ABC dancing competition show, to me the show doesn’t seem as fixed as it has in the past. So maybe there is a new professional the Judges are angling to win the Mirrorball trophy. That’s who Saget should really go after.
Last year, when The Big Bang Theory ended the season, Kaley Cuoco cut her hair short. This year, she is doing the opposite. She got extensions put in and now she looks like the Kaley Cuoco we know.
Hopefully, she will keep her locks long because it works better with her face. And hopefully, when TBBT starts up, the hair department will know how to style her longer hairdo. I don’t know why, but they had a real hard time this year with it.
