How To Get Away With Murder...

Lisa Lane, the former U.S. Women’s Chess Champion believed to have inspired the 1983 novel (and Netflix series) The Queen’s Gambit, has died. She was 90. According to her Legacy.com obituary, Lane, who was inducted into the World Chess Hall of Fame in 2023, passed away on February 28, 2024, at her home in Carmel, New York, after a battle with cancer. Born on April 25, 1933, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Lane didn’t discover chess until college; she attended Temple University. She quickly learned and soon mastered the game, winning the U.S. Women’s Chess Championship in 1959 and holding the title until 1962. During her title reign, Lane appeared as a contestant on a 1960 episode of the television show To Tell the Truth, where the four panel members had to correctly guess her identity. In 1961, she was a contestant on What’s My Line?, another game where the panel had to guess the guest’s identity.

Exclusive: Amazon Prime Video’s remake of British game show The 1% Club has found its host as well as a broadcast partner.

Patton Oswalt has been tapped to host the format, which tests the nation’s intelligence, based on a scientific survey, and Fox has taken the second window in an interesting and unusual partnership between the two companies. Deadline previously revealed Amazon was adapting the format last year.

It marks the game show hosting debut for The Goldbergs and A.P. Bio actor Oswalt, who has previously appeared as a contestant on a number of quizzers including To Tell The Truth and Celebrity Wheel of Fortune.

Oswalt has been circling the format for a while; Deadline understands that he was lined up as the host last year but the actors strike pushed this back.

The series, which is produced by BBC Studios Los Angeles Productions and Magnum Media, will premiere on Prime Video,...

Anthony Anderson is teaming up with his mother, Doris Bowman aka Mama Doris, in Fox’s latest competition series We Are Family, and he’s excited (and possibly nervous) to hear what she’s got to say.

Anderson and Bowman replaced Jamie Foxx and his daughter Corinne in the series, which launches January 3 and comes from Fox Alternative Entertainment and Apploff Entertainment.

The series showcases non-famous relatives of celebrities performing duets with their hidden famous family member. It features a studio audience composed of 100 contestants playing through multiple rounds of clues and gameplay to win up to $150,000 each by correctly guessing which celebrity the performer is related to before they are revealed.

We Are Family is not the first time that Anderson and his mother have worked together. Doris went viral after an appearance on Celebrity Family Feud, where her risqué answer stopped Steve Harvey in his tracks, and she...

We Are Family has a premiere date and a new pair of hosts. Anthony Anderson and his mother, Doris Bowman, aka Mama Doris, will host the new musical guessing show, replacing previously announced Jamie and Corrinne Foxx. No reason for the change was released but Jamie Foxx will continue to be an executive producer on the competition which will premiere in January. Anderson and his mom previously worked together on ABC's recent incarnation of the To Tell the Truth game show.

Black-ish alum Anthony Anderson and his mom Doris Bowman (aka “Mama Doris”) are teaming up to host Fox’s new midseason music-centric guessing game show We Are Family. The mother and son duo are replacing previously announced Jamie Foxx and his daughter Corinne, who are unable to host the show due to a scheduling conflict for Foxx, not a big surprise following all the strike-related production changes and delays. He is still set to executive produce the series, which will premiere Wednesday, January 3.

Showcasing non-famous relatives of celebrities performing duets with their hidden famous family member, We Are Family will feature a studio audience entirely comprised of 100 contestants playing through multiple rounds of clues and gameplay to win up to $100,000 each by correctly guessing which celebrity the performer is related to before they are revealed.

“Black-ish” star Anthony Anderson and his mother, Doris Bowman, are once again teaming up to host another game show together. The son-and-mother duo have been announced as the new hosts of Fox’s upcoming music gamer “We Are Family,” which premieres Wednesday, Jan. 3.

Anderson and Bowman replace Jamie Foxx and his daughter Corinne Foxx, who had previously been announced for “We Are Family.” Jamie Foxx continues as an executive producer on “We Are Family,” as he presumably recovers from a medical condition that he was hospitalized for earlier this year. Jamie Foxx also hosts another music game show, “Beat Shazam,” for Fox (with Corinne Foxx as the show’s DJ), but Nick Cannon filled in as host, and Kelly Osbourne guested as DJ, for episodes that aired this summer.

Anderson and Bowman — also known as “Mama Doris” — have worked together on several projects, including the gamer “To Tell the Truth,...

Joanna Barnes, a longtime film and television actress who appeared in both versions of the classic comedy The Parent Trap, died Friday at her home in The Sea Ranch, California. She was 89 and succumbed to what was described as a lengthy illness by friend Sally Jackson.

In 1961 she played the role of gold digger Vicky Robinson in the original movie The Parent Trap. In the 1998 remake, she had the role of Vicki Blake, the gold digger’s mother. Her many film credits include Home Before Dark, Spartacus, and The War Wagon.

Her extensive television credits include starring in three series, 21 Beacon Street, The Trials of O’Brien, and Dateline Hollywood. She was a frequent guest on dozens of TV series including The Millionaire, Mannix, Murder She Wrote, and Cheers. Joanna was a guest on many of TV’s early quiz programs and chat shows including What’s My Line, To Tell the Truth,...

As the networks relax in the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day, there has ben some fresh fare that pops up. On ABC on Tuesday night, that meant the ABC News special The Year: 2020, a recap of a year most equate to terms like “dumpster fire” or “trainwreck.” Either way, 2020 is one we will never forget– whether you want to or not. The special, hosted by Robin Roberts delivered a 0.5 in the adults 18-49 demographic and 2.81 million viewers, which along with a To Tell the Truth repeat as a lead-in helped ABC win the night in the demo among the broadcast networks in Nielsen Live+Same Day numbers.

The Year: 2020 featured Eugene Levy, Kal Penn, Alyssa Milano, Tabitha Brown and Ryan Michelle Bathe as well as NFL star Emmanuel Acho, Shark Tank’s Mark Cuban, country star Brad Paisley, activist and The Talk co-host Amanda Kloots, comedians Joel McHale and Nikki Glaser,...

Bookmark it, or subscribe for the latest updates. Remember, the television vulture is watching your shows. Are you?

What's This TV Show About?

Airing on the ABC television network, To Tell the Truth is hosted by Anthony Anderson. The show features a panel of four celebrities who are presented with three people who all claim to be the same person with the same incredible talent, job, or achievement. One is sworn to tell the truth, while the others are not. Anderson’s mother, Doris, returns with commentary.

With the long weekend upon us, there’s a good chance you’ll be looking for some new shows or movies to watch, especially if you’ll be sheltering-in-place. Thankfully, there’s a lot of fresh content coming to all your favorite streaming platforms, so we thought we’d provide a bit of a rundown on what you can watch this Memorial Day weekend.

Over on Netflix, the biggest addition comes in the form of The Lovebirds, a new comedy starring Kumail Nanjiani and Issa Rae as a couple who have been wrongfully accused of committing a murder. While it released to somewhat mixed reception, it’s certainly scoring much higher than The Wrong Missy, while also proving to be equally as popular with Netflix subscribers.

ABC’s game show trio of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and the season premieres of Holey Moley and To Tell the Truth led Thursday’s primetime, which included NBC’s Red Nose Day lineup and the series premiere of Fox’s reality matchmaking series Labor of Love.

Millionaire, which drew a 0.8 rating in the adults 18-49 demographic and dipped a tenth from last week, tied with the Season 2 premiere of Holey Moley and NBC’s special Celebrity Escape Room for the night’s top honors in the demo. To Tell the Truth followed as it returned for its fifth cycle. ABC won the night overall in both metrics.

NBC’s two-hour Red Nose Day benefit was even with last year’s two-hour telecast but dipped in viewers.

On Fox came the soft series premiere of Labor of Love, the eight-part series hosted by Kristen Davis...

“Labor of Love,” Fox’s new show which matches 41-year old Kristy Katzmann with 15 potential fathers to her child, debuted to pretty poor numbers on Thursday night.

The show’s premiere scored a 0.2 rating among adults 18-49 and drew only 909,000 total viewers, which represents the weakest debut of the season for Fox in both metrics. Earlier on, “Celebrity Watch Party” aired its third episode to a 0.3 rating and 1.4 million total viewers, down about 12% in audience from the week before.

ABC hit the fairway with its first drive of the summer, winning the night overall thanks partly to the season 2 premiere of mini-golf competition series “Holey Moley,” which scored a 0.8 rating and 4.4 million pairs of eyeballs. While that’s down from the season 1 debut which delivered a 1.0 rating, it’s more than double the viewership tally from its freshman season finale. Teeing up the second season, the show’s creator Chris Culvenor...

ABC scored a Thursday win in ratings and total viewers with the Season 2 premiere of “Holey Moley,” a new episode of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” and the return of “To Tell the Truth,” according to preliminary data from Nielsen.

Meanwhile, Fox’s debut of reality dating series “Labor of Love,” which follows “Bachelor” alum Kristy Katzmann on her hunt for her perfect man/sperm donor, combined with weak performer “Celebrity Watch Party” to land the broadcaster in a tie with Spanish-language network Telemundo for fifth place in the key demo.

Over on NBC, the “Celebrity Escape Room” special was neck and neck with “Holey Moley” and “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” for the night’s highest-rated show.

Since mid-March, the coronavirus pandemic has upended every aspect of life in the United States, causing stay-at-home mandates in most states in an attempt to contain the spread of Covid-19.

As a consequence, the entertainment industry — a multi-billion-dollar global business — has come to a grinding halt, with every television show and movie indefinitely shut down, putting most of the tens of thousands of people employed by those productions out of work. The shutterings hit the broadcast networks — Fox, NBC, CBS, ABC, and The CW — toward the end of the traditional TV season, so some shows had already completed production before the summer hiatus. Others — such as ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy,” which had shot 21 episodes of its 25-episode order — simply had to adjust accordingly, concluding its season early on April 9.

The bigger concern for the networks is what to do with their fall 2020 schedules, which under normal circumstances would have been unveiled to advertisers,...

There are few surefire successes in television. It just so happens that with its new releases for May 2020, Hulu almost certainly found itself one. May 8 sees the debut of all eight episodes of Solar Opposites, the latest sci-fi animated effort from Rick and Morty co-creator Justin Roiland. This is a brand new story featuring a family of aliens crashing to Earth and learning to live amongst the rest of us weirdos. But the animation style and sci-fi themes hew so closely to Rick and Morty that there’s no way this won’t be a hit.

On the off chance Solar Opposites doesn’t set the world ablaze, Hulu has some other intriguing content lottery tickets for May. The Great premieres on May 15 and is a comedic period piece about Catherine the Great starring Elle Fanning and Nicholas Hoult. You can’t accuse Hulu of not taking big swings this month!

In a Gold Derby exclusive, we have learned the category placements of the key Emmy Awards contenders for Fremantle. For this season, the company has such scripted series as “The New Pope,” “My Brilliant Friend” and “Dublin Murders.” Unscripted programs as part of their 2020 campaign include “American Idol,” “America’s Got Talent,” “Celebrity Family Feud,” “Match Game” and more.

Below, their list of submissions for all scripted and unscripted programs. More names might be added by the company on the final Emmy ballot. Also note that performers not included on this list may well be submitted by their personal reps.

Leaving at the end of the month is “Good Will Hunting,” all three “Free Willy” films, 2006’s “Night of the Living Dead” and 2012’s “Night of the Living Dead: Resurrection,” “Zombieland,” 2002’s “Spider-Man,” and more.

However, if Emmy viewers have their say this year, the Television Academy will hop off the bandwagon and hire a host. A whopping 73% of readers voted in our recent poll they wanted a host this year because they “missed” having one last year. Compare that to 15% who said they’ll “have to think about it more” and 12% who argued “no,” because “hosts just waste precious time.” To the 73% of people who voted “yes,” we want to hear your creative ideas for an Emmy host!

Bob Cobert, the Grammy- and Emmy-nominated composer of television’s “Dark Shadows” and “The Winds of War,” died of pneumonia Feb. 19, in Palm Desert, Calif. He was 95.

Cobert’s themes for the 1960s Gothic horror soap “Dark Shadows” – “great spook music,” he once called it – were his most popular compositions, and “Quentin’s Theme” (for the character played by David Selby) became a top 10 hit in 1969 as recorded by the Charles Randolph Grean Sound, earning a Grammy nomination as Best Instrumental Theme.

The “Dark Shadows” score, the first daytime soap to generate a best-selling soundtrack album, cemented Cobert’s partnership with the series’ creator-producer Dan Curtis, who continued to employ Cobert on nearly all of his television and film projects for the next four decades.
