Has the 2010 GSN Game Show aired, is it going to be later this year, or has it be canelled/canned by GSN?

As far as I know, it's been canceled. It was a huge train wreck, and the biggest jeer was when GSN snubbed Betty White, but kept Bob Barker. The entire ceremony was just an excuse to praise him as something that he's really not: A God among game show hosts.
And am I the only one who found it out of place that they did a G-T tribute, when they were slowly losing the rights to the G-T library?

They snubbed Betty to keep Bob Barker happy. He was being presented with an award, so they needed him there. I heard he left as soon as his segment was over. Why am I not all that surprised?

I think you can say what you want about your personal opinion of Bob Barker, but most people (the Academy included) would still consider him a "God among game show hosts."
