They switched out a few New York-centric celebs for the Radio City Music Hall episodes -- The morning show weathermen (Willard Scott et al) were switched out with Gene Shalit; Mark Gastineau and Lawrence Taylor switched out for a week; and I think Debbie Gibson "split" a square one week with another celeb (blanking on the name).

Looking at Kris Lane's most excellent Davidson Squares guide, it appears to be The Fat Boys.

Has anyone heard any additional news regarding the previously announced "More TV Game Shows" channel?
I figured it would debut with the HS channel but still has not launched.

I've been wondering the same thing - kind of surprised no mention of it from Pluto outside from the original announcement of the channel.

Probably there was a delay of some kind. If I venture a guess, I’d imagine there was a hold up with the rights to one of the shows they were planning to use as an anchor.
Pluto is usually good to deliver on their promises about channels & programming, even if it’s delayed on occasion. IIRC BUZZR was announced for 2 or 3 months before it showed up on Pluto. More recently, the XITE music channels were announced several months before they were added. (Though to be fair, I only saw that announced early on one news site, so I’m thinking said site may have gotten out over their skis on that one.)

For those of us who just can't get enough Jimmy Carr in our lives, all 16 episodes of UK Distraction are now available in Pluto On Demand.
