Wendy Williams has been dealing with complications from her Grave’s Disease and thyroid issues. Due to that, she has not been able to host her show this season. Therefore, The Wendy Williams Show has been in repeats ever since.
After several weeks of delays, the production company has finally decided that the show must go on. So, they will be having guest hosts fill in starting on October 18th until Williams is healthy enough to return.
On Monday, Bevy Smith, Michael Yo, Devyn Simone, and Elizabeth Wagmeister will get things started. Then for the rest of the week, Leah Remini will sit on the purple throne.
Personally, I think Remini would be the perfect permanent replacement. She is really personable, and you want to be her friend when she is on talk shows. To me, that is the most important requirement for the job.
Leah Remini dropped out of school when she was 14 to become an actress, so she never went to college. However, even at 50, you are never too old to go back to school. That is why she applied to New York University, and she got in.
I am so excited, in tears and wanted to share this with you guys. For someone like me, a person who desperately wanted a higher education and options in my life, coming from a cult and a family who didn’t value an education, this is a very big day for me. This didn’t come easy. This is one of the last chunks of my life that I am taking back for myself from Scientology. It took a lot for me to take this step, for fear that I was not smart enough, not worthy enough, not able to do the work that will be required, my age…. I did it anyway with a lot of encouragement from a very special person in my life. I am ready to do the work and honestly, I’m scared shitless! And I am excited to start on my journey. It’s just never too late is it? Thank you to NYU @nyuniversity for believing in me. And thank you John @iescentralmass, you are an amazing man and anyone needing someone to cheer them on, to walk them through this (sometimes) intimidating process, who are scared to take this first step, should choose you! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. #goafteryourdreams #dreambig
Congrats to Remini because this takes a lot of guts. She is proving to us that you can take your life back and live your dreams if you want to. You just have to push yourself, and you can get what you want.
Jennifer Lopez got her start as a Fly Girl on In Living Color. Now, her best friend is one too. That is because when Leah Remini was attacked by a fly on her Game Show Network show People Puzzler, she did a dance.
Remini is such a good dancer; I think they should add it to every episode from now. You can say she was fly!
If you have never seen her game show, you should check it on GSN weekdays at 6p.
Tonight at 6p, Leah Remini tries her hand at hosting a game show, and she gets the grand prize for what a great she does with People Puzzler on Game Show Network.
People Puzzler is the type of game show that anyone can play. It is based on People Magazine’s crossword puzzles. Thus, if you can solve them, then you can sign up to be a contestant on the show and win $10,000. You can buy a lot of People mags with that dough.
Before you get to the final round, you have to play three rounds with two other contestants. Each round has its own crossword puzzle based on pop culture. The contestants each are given a chance to solve a clue on the board.
In the first round, they get $10 per letter and a $100 bonus if they guess three words in a row correctly.
For round two, those earnings are doubled. There is also a Wager Word where they can bet whatever amount they want. The player with the lowest score is eliminated at the end of this round.
For the third round, the two remaining contestants have to solve a whole puzzle on their own in 60 seconds. Each letter is worth $50, and they can get a bonus of $1,000 if they solve the entire one. The person with the most money moves on.
For the last round, they are given four categories with three words on them. If they can solve three complete puzzles within 60 seconds, they go home with $10,000.
It is so simple; even I can do it. Therefore, I really enjoyed watching and playing along. Something that is rare for me.
Another reason, why it is so much fun to watch is because who doesn’t want to be friends with Remini? She says it like it is. That is why she is not your normal game show host. It is nice to see someone be sarcastic with the contestants. Not in a mean way, but in a fun one. She was born to do this job. I hope we see her host more game shows. Heck, she would be great as one of the fill-in hosts on Jeopardy.
Since most of us are home now at 6p on weeknights, why not watch People Puzzler? It is better than the local news and so much less depressing. Don’t we all need something that makes us feel good about ourselves these days and is fun to watch? Now you have it with People Puzzler on GSN!
