The news here is that, like J!, they are looking into finding a streaming partner for same-day or next day streaming. They’re also looking into brand extensions that would focus on kids and families.

Honestly, I was surprised to learn she is the daughter of Harry Blackstone, Jr. Watched his magic shows on TV growing up and thought he was great.

When I watched the premiere week and noted that there were tie-ins with a kombucha brand and iHeart and a few other things, I grokked what Seacrest was really bringing to the table. Sure, he's a good pair of hands as a host, but as an on-air steward of pop music & pop culture, he's able to connect to The Young People more than Pat could.

The (re)introduction of special gimmicks have been okay-to-good. The XL wedge has inspired a gimmick I use in my version of Wheel I do at conventions.

"Unless you’re a boomer, however, chances are rather slim you’d recognize the significance of her once famous lineage. Her father was Harry Blackstone Jr., a magician and television performer who learned the art of illusion from his dad..."

Gen Xer here, and I know about Harry Jr...

/Get off my lawn

Didn't she appear with her father on an episode of John Byner's "Relatively Speaking"? Either her or he appeared with his son.  I want to say I remember seeing him in an episode as the mystery guest, but I haven't seen all the episodes on streaming yet.
