A game “almost no one can win.” Sounds like a sure-fire hit.

The odds o&f fluking into the top prize of $250,000 on Wingo were 1 in 2,200 and it lasted six episodes. Just throwing that out there.

I wouldn't read too much into that. I'm interpreting that as just some gimmicky jargon meant to make the show sound more dramatic.

I honestly didn't realize that they were no longer a production studio. (When did this happen?)

It hasn't happened quite yet, but Disney and 21st Century Fox (the parent company to the various Fox assets) have agreed to a deal in which Disney acquires the 20th Century Fox production studios, but the Murdochs keeps the Fox Broadcasting Company:
