Some fun to start the week, thanks to Wink Martindale’s Youtube channel (and I highly recommend subscribing as there’s loads of good stuff on it, and if they hit 18,000 subs they’re going to release an episode of the Patrick Kielty US Deal or No Deal which was all filmed and never shown), Neil Patrick Harris hosts ONE MILLION DOLLAR Going For Gold. I think we can agree American Know-it-All is a uniquely terrible title, perhaps they were trying to invoke American Gladiators.

It’s not the first time they tried to adapt the format in the US, here is the original Bill Rafferty pilot from 1987.

This Saturday FOTB Royal_Flu$h is hosting a 12+ hour interactive quiz charity stream on his channel with all his own massively multiplayer quiz formats to play live with, several editions of Deal or No Deal and crucially, a celebrity edition of his new game Face/Off at 9pm starring noneother than Dan Peake, Paul Farrer, Lucy Porter and Tom Scott. All proceeds raised go to Samaritans.

I’ll be dipping in and out all day as time permits. The twitch channel is here.

You can donate through Tiltify.

Delighted this morning to see a high quality (also the very last) episode of Hughie Green’s The Sky’s The Limit on Youtube this morning. It very much feels like the end of an Ultra Quiz style contest with a final challenge that’s a bit underwhelming (who are these contestants? Who knows!) and whilst they’re digging Green interviews people around the island and asks them questions for cash. The contestants aren’t the only thing that’s digging, right, because I quite dig the theme tune. Do give Cleops a follow on Youtube, they put up some great entertainment archival stuff.

Also some NEW CONTENT on BrigBox:

Sunday, 8pm,
Here and on Youtube

Award season is about to start and we’re getting the jump with Bother’s Bar’s Award Winning Game Night! We’re rolling out the red carpet for our seven panellists – and Team Audience – as we see what you voted the best Jackbox games in six categories as well as finding out which Arbitrary Final is going to get a second outing. Who will end up winning tonight’s award for Actual Victor?

You as Team Audience of course get the chance to win for yourselves, playalong on jackbox.tv and in the Youtube Chat and during the back half of the night we will need Voices of the Audience for the Best Improvisation Game and Best Social Deduction Game categories, and possibly the Best Arbitrary Final. You will need a mic and we need to be friends on Discord for me to invite you on (I’m BrigBother #9399 – send request in advance).

This is very good, and also factual:

Join us for Bother’s Bar’s Award Winning Game Night tomorrow from 8pm!
