So Steve Harvey's not busy enough. Pyramid is the show I'm most looking forward to. My friend has applied to be a contestant. They should be announcing their taping schedule in NYC soon.

They already have.

[BillCullen1]

Thanks for that, I'm on it!

[MSTieScott]

I'm a little surprised by the order of the shows on Sunday. To me, Pyramid feels more like an 8:00 or a 9:00 show, whereas given the subject matter of some of the questions on Feud, that feels more like a 9:00 or a 10:00 show.

Still, I hope it all does well, as success here means more game shows for everybody.

So Match Game is a spring/fall dealy now probably?

I feel silly bumping, but if this article is anything to go by, The Gong Show is to be hosted by a fictional character.

Call me crazy, but my expectations are not high.

Fictional?  Tommy's a legend, you cheeky monkey.  I'm just disappointed than no episodes of Dingos Got The Baby survive.  Australians were even worse than we were in preserving their shows.

Seriously, why the hell not?  At least let them show us what they're going to do and THEN you can put it down.  Decent list of (real) celebrities are committed to it, and Arnett seems pretty passionate about the project.  I'm more interested now than I was before.

The joke in that it's Mike Myers went over my head, and I was ready to rag on it. But honestly, the idea of him playing a washed-up British comedian sounds like such a "Gong Show" concept. I'm actually intrigued and getting Martin Short as Jiminy Glick vibes.

[TimK2003]

I am very intrigued by Mike Mye.... er, Tommy Maitland hosting the show.  Much more than Paul Reubens YDKJ character. 

[SamJ93]

Very interesting. Myers is certainly chameleon-like enough to slip into a role without people recognizing him, and can be very funny when he tries.

But...that's IF he tries. Considering the Shrek franchise has essentially dried up, and his last live-action project, 2008's The Love Guru, was an atrocious flop...he may just be phoning it in to cash a check here. I'd really love to be proven wrong, though.

They've announced the matchups for Celeb Feud...

A lot more "groups" this year (MLB Legends vs NBA Legends, Boy Band vs Girl Group, Funny Guys vs Funny Girls, US Swim Team vs US Gymnastics Team, etc.)- and Louie Anderson is playing with his family.

[BrandonFG]

and Louie Anderson is playing with his family.

Being his tenure ended in controversy, I do wonder whether anyone brings up that Louie hosted the first three seasons of the current run?

/I also wonder how many bags of money they had to give Louie to come back?

[Neumms]

Louie Anderson is playing with his family.

If it's the family from Baskets, count me in.

Something I just realized...Steve has Celebrity Feud and this Funderdome show on ABC. He hosts Little Big Shots on NBC, and I believe he's reviving his Showtime at the Apollo hosting duties for FOX.

Outside of maybe Dick Clark with Pyramid, Bloopers, and Bandstand, I can't recall anyone else hosting three or more network shows on as many networks simultaneously.
