IN THE NEWS

Mayim Bialik and Ken Jennings will split hosting duties for syndicated game show “Jeopardy!” through the end of the year. Bialik, who stepped in temporarily after the abrupt exit of Mike Richards, had previously been tapped to host “Jeopardy!” primetime specials and spinoffs, while former champ and consulting producer Jennings was the first guest host after the death of Alex Trebek. Richards was fired after one day of filming over past offensive remarks.

CBS reality series “The Activist” is being reworked following backlash over its format. Originally conceived as a five-week competition series that had activists vying for social media attention for causes, with their efforts judged by celebrities, the show is being transformed into a documentary special. “’The Activist’ was designed to show a wide audience the passion, long hours, and ingenuity that activists put into changing the world, hopefully inspiring others to do the same,” said a statement from CBS, Global Citizen and Live Nation. “However, it has become apparent the format of the show as announced distracts from the vital work these incredible activists do in their communities every day. The push for global change is not a competition and requires a global effort.” The planned October 22 debut date has been postponed.

Soviet chess legend Nona Gaprindashvili is suing Netflix for $5 million over a line in the finale of “The Queen’s Gambit” that says she never competed against men. “Throughout her extraordinary career, she won many championships, beat some of the best male chess players in the world, and was the first woman in history to achieve the status of international chess grandmaster among men,” says the defamation suit, labeling the line “grossly sexist and belittling.” In response, Netflix said it “has only the utmost respect for Ms. Gaprindashvili and her illustrious career, but we believe this claim has no merit and will vigorously defend the case.”

Piers Morgan inked a global deal with News Corp. and Fox News Media that includes launching a new TV show for Fox Nation in early 2022, and joining The Sun and the New York Post as a columnist. “I’m thrilled to be returning to News Corp. which is where I began my media career more than 30 years ago,” said Morgan. “Rupert Murdoch has been a constant and fearless champion of free speech and we are going to be building something new and very exciting together.” Morgan quit ITV’s “Good Morning Britain” in March amid backlash over his remarks about Meghan Markle’s mental health. “Piers is the broadcaster every channel wants but is too afraid to hire,” said News Corp chief executive Rupert Murdoch.

Julio Vaquiero has been named anchor of Noticias Telemundo’s evening newscast. Vaquerio, who has been anchoring the net’s late-night weekday newscast, replaces Jose Diaz-Balart, whose broadened responsibilities include hosting a show for MSNBC.

Quibi has reached a settlement with Israeli technology company Eko, which claimed the short-lived, short-form streamer’s core technology feature, Turnstyle, was stolen from Eko. “This result will help ensure that Eko remains the undisputed leader in interactive storytelling technology,” said Eko founder and CEO Yoni Bloch. Terms were not disclosed; Quibi shut down in October 2020.
