Exclusive: That’s My Jam, Jimmy Fallon’s music-themed game show, may take slightly longer to return to screens than previously planned.
The NBC show was set to start production on its third season imminently but Deadline understands that it has now been paused.
The reason, we hear, is scheduling, largely as a result of the vast number of celebrities that are required to film each episode. For instance, each episode features two teams of two celebrities competing in a series of music, dance and trivia-based games and musical performances.
This has included the likes of Ariana Grande and Blake Shelton competing against Kelly Clarkson and John Legend and Kenan Thompson and Big Boi versus Kesha and Renée Elise Goldberry.
Given that the show films up to a dozen episode across a small number of days, this can be somewhat of a challenge.

The U.K. edition of iconic game show “Password” will bow imminently on broadcaster ITV, and new countries are being added.
Variety can reveal that the Fremantle-owned format is getting versions in Greece (Alpha TV), Hungary (TV2), Israel (Channel 13), Mexico (TV Azteca) and Slovakia (TV Joj).
The word association game, which first launched on CBS in 1961, sees captains and contestants try to guess their teammates’ passwords with the help of one-word clues. The U.K. version will offer a cash prize in the final. It benefits from the presence of three eminent comic talents: Stephen Mangan as host and BAFTA winners Alan Carr and Daisy May Cooper as team captains.
The most recent U.S. version, starring Keke Palmer and Jimmy Fallon, launched last year on NBC and quickly became one of the network’s most popular shows. The U.K. version will have its own distinct flavor.

When he woke up to the Emmy nominations on July 12, Mike Yurchuk wasn’t necessarily shocked to see the musical comedy game show he executive produces along with Jimmy Fallon and Jim Juvonen, “That’s My Jam,” nominated for Best Game Show. As he points out, “There were 25 eligible contenders in the category, so we had a 20 percent chance.” It was when he saw his four fellow nominees that the enormity of what his show had accomplished in its second season became clear. “We’re in the same category with ‘The Price is Right,’ ‘Jeopardy!’, ‘Wheel of Fortune’ and ‘Family Feud,” he marvels. “It’s like all of these legacy shows. It’s the best game shows of all times – and us. I feel like we’re the Bad News Bears of our category. We’re up against shows that all originated between 1956 and ’76. We came on in 2021. So we’re...

Exclusive: Password, the game show from Jimmy Fallon and hosted by Keke Palmer, is returning to NBC for a second season.
However, Deadline understands that filming of season two of the series has been postponed as a result of the writers strike with The Tonight Show host Fallon among those not wanting to cross the picket line.
The series was expected to film shortly on the Universal lot.
It marks the second major non-scripted series impacted by the writers strike; Deadline revealed earlier today that Mayim Bialik pulled out of hosting the final week of season 39 of Jeopardy! as a result of the strike.
Password launched last August and the first season’s episodes averaged 4.2M total viewers. NBC said it was the number one new show of summer 2022 and the most-watched summer alternative series premiere in two years.

“The Kids Tonight Show,” a late-night program hosted by young people, is among the projects being developed under a new pact struck between NBCUniversal and Fallon’s production outlet, Electric Hot Dog. The late-night host and his brother-in-law, Jim Juvonen, run the company, and will, under terms of the agreement, create series and specials across NBCU’s portfolio.

NBC is to launch Jimmy Fallon’s comedy variety series That’s My Jam after this summer’s Olympic Games.
The network is gearing up to the launch, which is based on the celebrity-fueled musical segments from The Tonight Show after the Tokyo Olympics, which runs from July 24 to August 9.
NBC Entertainment Chairman Paul Telegdy revealed the scheduling during his exec session at the Winter TCA press tour.
It marks Fallon’s first venture into primetime. Based on the Wheel of Musical Impressions segment from The Tonight Show, it was brought to Universal Television Alternative Studio by Fallon, longtime Tonight Show producer Jim Juvonen and writer Josh Knapp.
Telegdy was optimistic that it would succeed but admitted that the network had turned down other Fallon-related spin-offs in the past, including Lip Sync Battle, which initially aired as a segment on the late-night talkshow and is recently aired its fifth season on Paramount Network.

Two films forgotten by the Academy, the animated adventure "The Lego Movie" and the Roger Ebert Documentary "Life Itself," triumphed at the recently concluded 2015 Producers Guild Awards.
"The Lego Movie" took home the Award for Outstanding Producer of Animated Theatrical Motion Pictures for producer Dan Lin while "Life Itself" won the Award for Outstanding Producer of Documentary Theatrical Motion Pictures for producers Garrett Basch, Steve James, and Zak Piper.
Meanwhile, Alejandro G. Iñárritu, John Lesher, and James W. Skotchdopole took the Oscar glitter away from Richard Linklater's "Boyhood" when "Birdman" was awarded the Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures.

Oscar-snubbed “Life Itself” and “The Lego Movie” win documentary and animation awards
“Birdman” was named the best-produced feature of 2014 at the Producers Guild Awards on Saturday night, giving the daring Alejandro Iñárritu film new life in the Oscar race for Best Picture.
“Boyhood” was considered the most likely PGA winner and the Oscar leader, but the critical favorite now finds itself in the same spot “The Social Network” was in four years ago. That film swept the critics’ awards and the Golden Globes, but then lost the PGA to “The King’s Speech,” which rode a string of guild wins to victory at the Oscars.

Ever since "The Hurt Locker" triumphed over "Avatar" at the 2010 Producers Guild Awards, it has been rather obvious to me that this precursor announcement is the skeleton key to understanding how the Oscar vote will likely play out. Why? Because — as we've noted a number of times — the PGA is the only group that shares the preferential ballot system the Academy employs. So what won this year? "Birdman" won, that's what. And for those who were chalking this up as a boring, telegraphed Oscar season… So, what does this mean for the rest of the season? It means, clearly, "Birdman" could well be poised to take the Best Picture Oscar next month. I, for one, thought "The Imitation Game" would be the one to unseat "Boyhood" this evening and assert itself as the industry favorite. I even thought "American Sniper" had an outside shot. I wasn't looking at "Birdman," though,...

Movies made by women directors were snubbed by the Producers Guild of America when they announced the nominees today! Both "Selma" by Ava DuVernay and "Unbroken" by Angelina Jolie were left in the dust. I agree with not nominating the latter movie (sorry Ms. Jolie but "Unbroken" is too earnest for my taste) but "Selma" deserved a nod! It's a profound movie aided by DuVernay's skilled directing and David Oyelowo's fine performance as Martin Luther King Jr.
You know who I'm blaming for this? Paramount! The studio did not send screeners to Academy voters. Heck, they did not sent one to us, the Broadcast Film Critics Association. But after begging, they did send a link so I could watch "Selma" in time for our Critics' Choice Movie Award nominations.
"Selma" is a "late to the party" entry that is gaining momentum dashed by the PGA! If you remember, Clint Eastwood...

The Producers Guild of America (PGA) added to the industry mix Monday morning with a list of 10 nominees to keep the awards season grist mill churning. "Gone Girl" popped up again, and it shouldn't be a surprise. It's one of the year's biggest hits. And speaking of hits, I had a hunch "Nightcrawler" would find a place after becoming such a well-liked, profitable success. There it sits. The question for both of these films is whether this on-going industry/guild love ends up translating to Oscar recognition. After the "Dragon Tattoo" rush a few years ago, I'm pretty much wait-and-see on stuff like this. Absent from the list was anything out of the Marvel Studios comic book factory, notable as both "Guardians of the Galaxy" and "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" were both on the top tier of box office earners in 2014. The former currently maintains the throne, though it...
