-The entire abc “Sunday Fun & Games” block has been renewed, as has “To Tell the Truth”.

-There’s a little spacing for the text on the Fast Money clock this season- this is similar to the “WINNER!/$100” graphic from “Billy on the Street”.
-Sunny has been confirmed as a correspondent for “The View” & Paula has actually NOT left the show.
-Dhani Jones of “Spartan: Ultimate Team Challenge” fame will be reporting from the Rio Olympics.

-The NBCSN reruns of “Sports JEOPARDY!” actually begin this Sat. at midnight.
-The flaming arrow accident was also mentioned on “The Late Late Show” last night.
