TKO

TKO is an American syndicated game show where three contestants were asked questions and were given initial letters to the answers. TKO was an unsold pilot for ABC in 1989 with Peter Tomarken as host, In 2015, Buena Vista Productions, a subsidiary of Disney/ABC, announced plans of reviving TKO with Rob Wilson (of Days of Our Lives and All My Children) as the host. The series debuted on Sept. 10, 2016. TKO is a Buena Vista Production in association with FreMantleMedia.

## Gameplay

### Rounds 1 & 2

The contestants faced a game board with three columns consisting of five spaces each. Only the topmost space in each column was revealed at the start of the game, each showing a dollar amount and a one-word category. The player in control chose a space, and all three were shown three sets of initials. Peter asked a toss-up question whose answer corresponded to one set. The first player to buzz in, choose the correct set, and say what those initials stood for won the value of the question and chose the next space. If no one chose the correct initials within a certain time limit, Peter gave them the correct initials and the players could still win the money by mentioning what they stood for. There was no penalty for an incorrect answer. Once a space was played, it was removed from the board and the space below it became available.

Each question was worth more money than the previous question in the column. In round one, question values increased from $100 to $500 in $100 increments, going down each column. These values were doubled for round two, meaning that the question values increased from $200 to $1000 in $200 increments.

Two spaces in each round were secretly designated as Knockout Questions. When a player answered one of these correctly, s/he not only won its value, but could deduct the same amount from one opponent's total, effectively stealing their money. Scores could never go below zero, however.

Each round continued until all 15 questions had been asked.

### Final Round: The Knockout Game

In the final round there were no categories, just general knowledge questions which followed the same format as in the first two rounds. When a player buzzed in, a money spinner stopped on a value between $500 and $1,000 in $25 increments. A correct answer did not award this amount, but instead allowed the player to deduct it from one opponent's score. When a player's score reached zero, he/she was eliminated from that day's game. The last surviving player won the game and kept whatever money s/he had left, plus an additional $5,000.

The same three players were to compete through an entire week of shows.

Through the use of PSIP, digital television receivers display the station's virtual channel as its former UHF analog channel 54, which was among the high band UHF channels (52-69) that were removed from broadcasting use as a result of the transition.
Top Secret

***Top Secret*** was an unsold game show where three players assume the "identities" of people, places, and things, then try to conceal them from their opponents. In 2019, Continental Broadcasting Company announced plans of reviving the pilot, with Kevin Pereira serving as host.

## Gameplay

### Main Game

The object of the game is to guess the secret identities of the opponents.

Each of the three contestants were given a secret identity of a famous person, place, or thing, along with four clues which talk about those identities. The clues were given a dollar value based on the difficulty of the clues: $250 for the hardest clue, $500 for the second-hardest, $750 for the second-easiest, and $1,000 for the easiest; so the higher the value the easier & less crazy the clue. To earn clues, the contestants must answer a toss-up question posed by host Martindale. While a question was read, a six-monitored randomizer with money values from $100-$1,000 was active; it stopped when a player buzzed-in to answer the question. A correct answer won the landed money amount, but a wrong answer eliminated that player from the next question. Now, the player who won the toss-up question used his/her score to buy one of the four clues from one of his/her two opponents; the player in control had three seconds to answer and if the controlling player can identify the identity of the player whose clue he/she bought, the player won $100 and the player with the identity was knocked out of the game.

The winner of the game was the one who was the last player standing or the player whose identity was not guessed after all of his/her clues were bought, and that player won the right to play the Super Sleuth round.

### Super Sleuth (Bonus Round)

In the Super Sleuth round, the winning player had 60 seconds (one minute) to identify six identities correctly. On each identity, three clues were given one at a time and the player must guess after each clue. Each correct identification was worth $200, and getting all six identities before time ran out won the grand cash prize.

Two games were played each show with the first Super Sleuth win being worth $5,000, and should any one player make it to Super Sleuth the second time on the same show, the payoff was $10,000. If no player won both games, the player with the most bonus round money supposedly returned as champion.

The Jay Pharoah Show

Jay Pharaoh, host, creator, and executive producer of The Jay Pharoah Show

The Jay Pharoah Show is an American late-night talk show created and hosted by former Saturday Night Live cast member Jay Pharoah. Famous for his many impressionist skills and rap skills, Pharoah, in 2015, was named the 55th greatest SNL cast ember by *Rolling Stone*. After leaving Saturday Night Live in 2016, Pharaoh has been doing things to keep himself busy until Tribune came along in 2017 and offered him his own talk show. Pharoah's house band features some members formerly of Saturday Night Live's band, including Katreese Barnes at piano/organ, Lukasz Gottwald at electric guitar, Lew Del Gatto at baritone saxophone, and Matt Chamberlain on the drums, with Tom Barney leading the band at bass guitar. The show is taped at Stage 6 at the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, CA.

## Show Format

The show starts with a cold open which consists of a short improvised monologue or commentary by Pharoah, with interaction with members of the studio audience, or occasionally a pre-taped bit. The cold open is followed by the opening credits and a commercial break.

Following the break and an introduction by the show's announcer, Pharoah begins with a free-form, largely ad-libbed monologue. Afterwards, he announces who's on the show for that evening, and then Pharoah goes to his desk (while the band plays a tune). Pharoah continues on with some more of his jokes and skits before the commercial break. Following the break, Pharoah interviews his first guest, which takes up the next two segments of the show. Following the first interview and commercial, the show performs a short skit before the second interview. Sometimes, a stand-up comedian, cooking segment, or a musical guest performs, the latter of which is typically pre-taped.

At the end of the show, Pharaoh relaxes at his desk and summarizes what happened during that hour, similar to "What did we learn on the show tonight, Craig?" from Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.

Entertainment announced plans to shut down the network and launch The CW later that same year. The WB shut down on September 17, 2006, with select programs from both it and competitor UPN (which had shut down two days earlier) moving to The CW when it launched the following day, September 18.

## *History*

Before its inception, the program's original focus was to follow a local newscast-style format – consisting primarily of coverage of the latest movies, music and television releases and projects.

Instead, the program tweaked its format in an effort to attract viewers. While its focus continued to revolve partly around entertainment and celebrity gossip stories, it also began phasing in additional hard news content (consisting of select major headlines of given warranty and other notable general news and legal-related stories) as well as lifestyle and human-interest story features.

The Bar

***The Bar*** (Swedish: ***Baren***) is a reality competition television franchise that originated in Sweden and then Norway in 2000, and was developed in other countries starting from 2001. The premise of the show is that for around two months, a number of contestants work in a bar while attempting to avoid periodic public-vote evictions from a communal house and hence win a cash prize. The show was devised by the Swedish company Strix. The show first aired on TV3 Sweden on 24 April 2000.

In 2017, MyTV (now XYZ) announced plans of doing an American version of the show, with plans of launching the show in during the summer of 2018, debuting on June 20, 2018. The series is produced by ABC Circle Films, working in association with Strix. Due to the COVID Pandemic during the 2019-20 season, The Bar was put on hold during the summer of 2021, with the series set to return on June 22, 2022.

## Concept

The aim of The Bar is for contestants to remain for as long as possible, with the power to decide who stays or goes in the hands of the viewers. The program claims to illustrate what happens when strangers live together and attempt to run a city center bar. The Bar is an interactive program where both viewers and internet users are part of the action. More than 25 webcams broadcast 24 hours a day in the bar and the participants’ apartment. Viewers were urged to take decisions affecting the story lines. The bar in the show was real and open to the public, meaning viewers could visit and talk to the contestants.

A series is shown over approximately three months, with a host-led live broadcast at the end of each week. There, the contestants discuss the past six days’ events. Contestants rate each other on their performances. The one with the lowest score becomes one of two nominees who can be voted out by TV viewers during the live elimination show. In addition, the contestant with the highest score gets to choose the second nominee who can be voted out.

Throughout the live show, a viewer poll is held by phone and via the Web. At the end of the series, after 11 elimination rounds, one winner remains to claim the cash prize.

Keynotes

Keynotes is an American syndicated game show based on the British game show of the same name that ran from 1989-92 and Australian version, which aired in 1964 and 1992-93. Two previous attempts were tried in 1986 (With Kevin O'Connell as host) and 1989 (with Clint Holmes as host). The series is loosely based on the "Bid a Note" round from the game show *Name That Tune*. The series finally hit it stride when it was launched in early 2016 with Judy Tenuta as host. The series is a production of All American Productions, in association with FremantleMedia Australia, the holders of the Grundy Television library.

## Premise

Two teams of three contestants (one colored red, the other colored blue) faced-off in a game of naming songs.

## Main Game

Before the teams, is a game board with nine numbered boxes; behind those boxes were "Keynotes" for a Mystery Puzzle Song. Two of the Keynotes (the first & last) were given for free at the start, the seven Keynotes in between, must be earned by the players themselves.

Two players (one from each team) came up to a center podium to play a face-off song. One player would select a card with one of the remaining numbers on it, the host would show the number, and then three words attached to that number were shown. The three words were indicated by color (red, blue & yellow). A song would then play, and the players involved tried to lock-in the right color with the right word that ended the verse playing in the song. The first player to lock-in with the correct word won control of the puzzle song, but an incorrect word gave the opposing player control of the puzzle song if that player locked-in the right word otherwise the square temporarily went blank.

When controlling the puzzle song, the Keynote behind the chosen number was revealed (plus any blanks along the way), and then the team in control followed the bouncing ball which gave the rhythm of the missing notes. If they can't come up with the right lyrics to that song, another face-off was played with two different players. The first team to solve the puzzle song won $750, and the first team to solve two puzzles won the game, a total of $1,500 and went on the the Jackpot Round.

## Jackpot Round (Bonus Round)

In the Jackpot Round, one more puzzle song was shown to the winning team. They had 25 seconds to reveal as many of the hidden Keynotes as they can. They do that by completing verses of songs by guessing the correct word to each. Players alternated turns picking off numbers by stopping a randomizer and guessing words. To guess a word, one player on the winning team must stop the clock by pressing a button. A correct guess revealed a Keynote, but an incorrect guess caused that square to go blank. When the time was up or when all the boxes were chosen, the revealed notes were played via the bouncing ball. If the winning team can solve this puzzle song, they win $12,000.

Punch Lines

***Punch Lines*** is an unsold pilot where (according to Bill Cullen) you must "remember what you heard and where you heard it". This 1979 pilot was a failed attempt to relaunch *Eye Guess*. In 2018, Buena Vista Television announced plans of relaunching the series with Graham Elwood as the host.

## Gameplay

### Main Game

The game was played with two celebrity-civilian pairs, and eight so-called "window people" seated in a large apartment-like structure on the other side of the stage.

Each of the eight "window people" would read what was known as a "punch line", an answer to an upcoming question. When all the punch lines had been read, the eight window people would quickly change seats to confuse the contestants. Seven questions were then read to the contestants, who had to identify the window *where* they heard the correct punch line, not who said it. Like *Eye Guess*, a team would stay in control as long as they continued to give out correct answers. Every correct answer in Round 1 was worth 10 points, and correct answers in Round 2 were worth 20 points with the team that was behind taking control first. The first team to score 200 points won the game.

### Endgame

The endgame was identical to the first two rounds except with money added. Eight more punch lines were read and seven more questions were given. For every correct answer a contestant gave, he or she won $500. If all the correct answers were given, the contestant won a new car.
