Not long after the introduction of the reality and competition program Emmy categories in the early 2000s, the TV academy decided to begin honoring the work of those shows’ presenters by establishing the Best Reality/Competition Host category in 2008. Over the years, the nominees here have hailed from game and talent shows of all kinds, including those structured around dancing, singing, fashion, and food.
Included on the 2022 ballot list below is reigning champion RuPaul of “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” who has triumphed on all six of his consecutive bids for the VH1 series.

Three horror films with an arc that spans centuries, released on Netflix weekly: You get a lot of bang for your buck in Fear Street. With each installment existing in a slightly different sub-genre, referencing a whole range of other movies and franchises, the whole thing plays out like a super-packed horror digest. So while its parts might feel derivative, the experience as a whole does not.
Based on the Fear Street books by R.L. Stine, his novels for older teens, Fear Street is gross, gory, and nostalgic enough for adult viewers but also fun and frisky enough to be teen-friendly. Leigh Janiak, whose debut was the eerie horror Honeymoon, heads up all three, bringing a strong Stranger Things vibe—indeed several Stranger Things cast members pop up in Fear Street, including Maya Hawke and Sadie Sink. The director’s clearly a massive horror nerd so this works as a...

TBS has renewed its rookie series Wipeout and Chad for second seasons, and fellow Turner cable net TruTV is going back for seconds on Fast Foodies.
The announcements were made during Turner’s upfront presentation today.
Wipeout, the obstacle-course competition series that TBS revived this year, is hosted by John Cena and Nicole Byer, with Camille Kostek as the field host. It features new format twists and elements that test the willpower of each contestant pairing, while delivering more than a few epic fails. Produced by Endemol Shine North America, Wipeout premiered in April as the No. 1 unscripted series on cable, Turner said.
Single-camera comedy Chad follows the eponymous 14-year-old pubescent Persian boy (Nasim Pedrad) as he navigates his first year of high school on a mission to become popular. Chad’s friendships and sanity are pushed to the limits as he uses every tactic at his disposal to befriend the cool kids,...

The film trilogy adapting R.L. Stine’s Fear Street book franchise is officially relocating its ominous traffic to streaming giant Netflix.
A deal has been closed that will see Netflix acquire the Fear Street films from Disney, reports Deadline. The plan now is to premiere each of the interconnected film entries—all directed by Leigh Janiak—in Summer 2021 at the interval of a month apart. Netflix’s early marketing plans will see the trilogy heralded by a campaign dubbed “The Summer of Fear.” While a solid release date was not provided, the summer window seems solid and shouldn’t be susceptible to Covid-dealt delays, since principal photography on the films has already wrapped.
While fans of Stine’s Fear Street—the author’s slightly-scarier, somewhat-sexified teen-aimed alternative to his signature Goosebumps books—certainly embraced this live-action adaptation, the film trilogy project was passed off by the coalition of 20th Century Fox and Chernin Entertainment,...

In addition to this being a golden era of Stephen King adaptations, this is also a bloody good time for R.L. Stine fans, and that will continue into next year, as Netflix has reportedly made an agreement with Disney to pick up a trilogy of films based on Stine's Fear Street series set in the seriously spooky town of Shadyside.
Deadline reports that Netflix has acquired the three Fear Street movies and is planning to release them a month separate from each other throughout the summer of 2021, which will reportedly be referred to as "The Summer of Fear."
Produced by Chernin Entertainment, all three movies were directed by Leigh Janiak (Honeymoon) and co-written by Janiak and Kyle Killen, and they take place over three time periods: one in 1994, one in the 1600s, and, according to Bloody Disgusting (via Production Weekly), one in 1978.

Netflix has bought a trilogy of “Fear Street” movies, based on R.L. Stine’s teen horror series and directed by Leigh Janiak, from Disney.
The three completed films were produced at Fox by Chernin Entertainment with the goal of releasing each movie a month apart. Filming began last year in Georgia and they were scheduled for a release in June 2020, but the movies were pulled from their schedule after the Covid-19 pandemic closed theaters.
Chernin signed a first-look deal with Netflix in April. Disney absorbed the Fox feature film assets last year, including “Fear Street.”
The “Fear Street” books are set in the fictional city of Shadyside, Ohio. The first book, “The New Girl,” was published in 1989 and centered on a high school student falling in love with the new girl at school despite not being able to tell if she was even real.

Exclusive: And here we thought this was the summer of fear. Turns out, it’s a year away. Sources tell Deadline that Netflix just closed a deal with Disney to acquire a trilogy of interconnected Fear Street films adapted from R.L. Stine’s bestselling book series. Director Leigh Janiak has wrapped all three films, and the early plan is to run them a month apart next summer. This will be wrapped into a themed event that will be marketed by Netflix as The Summer of Fear.
It’s a natural landing place for the three films. Chernin Entertainment, which produced them, exited its Fox deal following the Disney acquisition. The Fear Street films were slated to be released theatrically by Fox, but that went sideways because the Disney release schedule is always so crowded, the pandemic shuttered movie theaters, and the subject matter is scarier than traditional Mouse fare.

Exclusive: Emily Rudd and McCabe Slye have signed on for Fox’s Fear Street trilogy, which is being helmed by Leigh Janiak. Both will make their first appearance in the second installment, which is set in 1978.
Rudd will play the older sister of Sadie Sink’s character. Slye will take on two roles: He plays Bobby Slater, described as a Springsteen-ish burnout who works at a summer camp, and in the 1966-set third film, he plays Mad Thomas, a creepy local drunk who stokes the town’s hysteria. Kiana Madeira, Olivia Welch, Benjamin Flores Jr., Ashley Zukerman, Fred Hechinger, Julia Rehwald and Jeremy Ford also have been cast.

One of the young stars from Stranger Things, Sadie Sink, is set to star in the second installment of 20th Century Fox’s Fear Street trilogy, which is based on the Ya novels by R.L. Stine.
Sink will join the previously cast Kiana Madeira, Olivia Welch, Benjamin Flores Jr., Ashley Zukerman, Fred Hechinger, Julia Rehwald, and Jeremy Ford. The film trilogy will be directed by Leigh Janiak and I’m looking forward to seeing what comes of it.
The stories for the book series were set in the fictional town of Shadyside, Ohio, and they spanned different time periods in the 1980s and 1990s. Each one centered around a new set of characters. But some of those characters occasionally made appearances in other stories since they are all set in the same universe.

In the photo gallery above and the text below, we recap each of the first 14 seasons of “Top Chef,” noting the locations, the judges and other finalists. And we update the resumes of all of the winning chefs.

On Thursday, March 8 the winner of “Top Chef” Season 15 will finally be crowned. Host Padma Lakshmi and judges Tom Colicchio, Gail Simmons and Graham Elliot have narrowed down the crop of chef-testants from 15 down to the Final 2: Adrienne Cheatham and Joseph Flamm. Who do You think will join the “Top Chef” winners list? Hurry — there’s still time to make your predictions before the winner is named next week.
Adrienne and Joseph have so far had vastly different journeys on “Top Chef: Colorado.” Adrienne started out the season from a position of weakness, being in the bottom for four of the first six episodes. Around the halfway mark of Season 15 Adrienne truly came alive, being in the top for three weeks and winning her first challenge in the loved ones episode. Joseph, of course, was eliminated in Episode 9 and sent to Last Chance Kitchen. That’s where he excelled against the other ousted chefs,...

Are you ready to return to Shadyside, Ohio? A film trilogy based on R.L. Stine's Fear Street books is in the works.
Goosebumps made you want to keep the nightlight on into the wee hours of the night. However, R.L. Stine’s other book series, Fear Street, was pure evil. Teenagers devoured it. The Prom Queen, The Cheater, The Best Friend. Fear Street could be any Main Street U.S.A, and that's what helped the book series become a best-selling sensation. With the popularity of the 2015 Goosebumps movie, it was only a matter of time before the Hollywood Machine, the big bad thing that goes bump in the night, scooped it up Stine's other popular series for a big screen adaptation.
Leigh Janiak was brought onboard to write and direct the trilogy of Fear Street film adaptations.
