Remember when big-name stars didn’t want to do TV? Now they’re even clamoring for jobs as game show hosts.
Alec Baldwin (ABC’s “Match Game”), Taye Diggs (Fox’s “Hypnotize Me”), Jane Lynch (NBC’s “Celebrity Game Night”) and Anthony Anderson (ABC’s “To Tell the Truth”) are just some of the actors who now front major primetime game shows, in addition to their regular scripted work.
“You look at game shows from the 1970s and 1980s, they were somewhat cheesy,” Anderson said. “It’s different now. It’s a lot classier. It’s cool.”
Wayne Brady, who has hosted a “Let’s Make a Deal” revival for CBS since 2009, joked that “being a game show host was very much akin to being a local affiliate weatherman – and no offense to local affiliate weathermen, but there’s a stereotype.”

As news breaks that Deal Or No Deal is coming to an end this autumn, we revisit the maths involved in Noel Edmonds' beard...
My first memory is of my dad getting into a fight with Noel Edmonds on the set of Telly Addicts. He had gotten so bored with the endless trivia that he fell asleep during one question, and woke up during another, and ran onto the stage to complain that David Jason wasn’t The Fugitive. If he found a colourful 80s gameshow boring, good lord knows what he makes of random guesstheboxathon Deal Or No Deal. He would probably implode into a coma.
But is it really just a game of chance? Unfortunately, try as you might, you can never get away from that agonising itch that it’s all just a completely random number guessing game. Albeit one with a delusional...

In honor of its 50th anniversary, game show Let's Make a Deal is bringing back the dynamic duo that harvested the show's popularity in the very beginning, host Monty Hall and his assistant Carol Merrill.
Hall and Merrill, who made their first appearance on the show in its premiere season in 1963, will make their special guest appearance on the March 1st episode of the show, which is now presented by host Wayne Brady and model Tiffany Coyne.
Pics: Stars Without Makeup!
In addition to bringing back the show's original presenters, Let's Make a Deal will also reinstate the "Super Deal," discontinued in 1976, which will give contestants the opportunity to win $50,000 daily in its two-week return.
The show's special guests won't just be making an appearance on March 1 but will be participating in the show, as Hall and Merrill will both do a deal with a trader in their return to the show they built.

It’s not easy to pull off Guy Ritchie’s signature high energy smash-action British gangster flicks—Snatch, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels—with most attempts feeling flimsy in their imitations. Andy and Chaz Bugger Off to America makes a noble effort on limited resources. The five-episode indie web series is certainly absurd fun, flirting with chaotic in its comedic story of two British gangsters on the run in Los Angeles trying half-wittingly to crack into the film business. The series has its drawbacks, and its modest production value gets in the way at times—like the awkwardly blurred-out logos of dumpster brands and motel signs. The thought that kept interrupting my viewing: why not just choose shots without logos? I was about to write this series off, when we had the chance to meet up with creators Darren Darnborough (“Chaz”), Craig Robert Young (“Andy”) and director Richard Keith.

We’ve already declared our love for Lenny Kravitz’s new single, the crunchy, infectious pop delight, “Stand.” And now he’s made a Foo Fighters-worthy video to go along with it. And that is high praise indeed. The song has a ‘70s vibe to it, so it makes perfect sense that the Paul Hunter-directed clip sets the Wayback Machine to a spoof of “Let’s Make A Deal”--the original with Monty Hall, not the current lame version with Wayne Brady. Kravitz plays obnoxious host Bart Billingsworth as well as bad, hair-flipping Prince clone, Desmond Richie. As deal after deal goes south for the contestants,...

While doing a casual perusal of recent red carpet photos, we happened upon some pictures from the Taste Of Beverly Hills Wine & Food Festival Opening Night. Sounds pretty boring, right? Wrong: Meet Carol Connors. This seemingly regular old lady with possibly the most fantastic purse I’ve ever seen is not just some random old billionairess about to leave her entire fortune to her three cats. Though I’m sure she is that as well. Carol is also a songwriter! “What could this woman possibly have written on her Swarovski crystal purse?” you’re asking? How about the Theme Song To Rocky? Seriously. I love her. So much so, please look at what my Facebook profile is looking like at this very moment: And as though your weekends have not already been made, look who else was there/is alive!! Monty Hall!! The only game show host who has a problem named after him!
