Oh I’ve been nervous since November 9, 2016. :P

A couple days late on this, but here’s a list of shows & how their production schedules are being affected (or not) by the coronavirus. It’s supposed to be updated as they learn more:

Also, I updated the thread title to more accurately reflect the current situation.

They really need to reboot the one game built for contagious diseases, Hollywood Squares.

Unrealtor:
Jeopardy has announced that the 18-month clock on contestants' eligibility after an in-person audition is essentially frozen for as long as production is stopped (they worded it as extended by an amount equal to the length of the stoppage.) Not surprising, really.

chad1m:
To help with providing content because of the early production shutdown, starting May 4th, Jeopardy! will repeat the Greatest of All Time matches in eight half-hour chunks, which will be bookended by rebroadcasts of Ken Jennings' first and last games from his 2004 winning streak.
