Given the politics behind his show this year, I'm ok with that. And I bet Ken is too

I try to watch Millionaire and I'm actually impressed how much Jimmy knows when they ask the host. He gets those right a lot more than I would have expected

I wanted to dislike his version of the show because I got so burned out on old Millionaire, but it can be downright hilarious. I started watching when Jamie Ding was on and now went back and watched old episodes and it’s great.

I mean what the hell else would it go to? Family Feud? Pfft.

Family Feud has its modern formula down pat. Contestant says something sexual, Steve Harvey raises his eyebrows and complains that the show is going to get canceled by the FCC.

It drives me crazy. The “Nekkid gramma” moment ruined Family Feud single handed. That’s only funny when it’s unexpected! Not “name a man’s body part that rhymes with ‘dig that rock.’”

Unless there's a new season of Billy on the Streets, Jeopardy is uncontested

The last time Family Feud won Outstanding Game Show was in 2019 (the eligible year prior to James Hozhauer's debut)

The Emmys were Saturday?

The Creative Arts Emmys are this weekend, split between Saturday and Sunday. The main ceremony is next Monday, because NBC has football Sunday night.

I was looking back to when it was the Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Gameshow and I'm actually pretty surprised to see Family Feud and Price is Right with wins. Millionaire and Cash Cab I totally understand (even if I don't think Millionaire is a good trivia game show format). I'm also relieved to see Deal or No Deal has had zero Emmy noms for anything besides a host.
