Thanksgiving Holiday Watch List (Nov. 26-28): "The Price Is Right", "Let’s Make A Deal", "Millionaire" and GSN Marathons

On Thanksgiving Eve (Wednesday, November 26) during CBS daytime, The Price Is Right and Let’s Make A Deal will be celebrating the holiday with special Thanksgiving-themed episodes. On Let’s Make A Deal, contestants will be dressed as turkeys, pilgrims and pumpkins and will play themed games including a 3-Turkey Deal for big bucks and games involving a Turkey hotline and a giant pumpkin that has apparently caught the eye of the "hungry" cast. As a special bonus, the studio audience will receive a family heirloom cookbook project featuring tools and directions on how to create your own cookbook filled with family recipes.

"Let’s Make A Deal" To Air Musical-Themed Special November 13 + Something Interesting

After “30,000 Reasons To Love Me” won the show’s first-ever Emmy Award earlier this year, thanks to the musical stylings of Wayne Brady and Cat Grey, this news is not surprising in the least. In perhaps an attempt to capitalize on the success of the award-winning song, each deal within the special episode will feature Brady and announcer Jonathan Mangum serenade contestants with a series of comical songs to help them win prizes and avoid any and all Zonks. The duo have incorporated various improv songs in deals on previous episodes including "The Foot Massage Song", "The Chocolate Song" and a freestyle rap about a prize behind a curtain.

VIDEO REPLAY: Tesla Model S Won Playing "One Away" on "The Price Is Right"

It looks like lightning struck twice for The Price Is Right's second installment of "Dream Car Week". Throughout the week, the CBS daytime show has offered contestants a chance to play pricing games with luxury automobiles at stake including a Maserati, a Range Rover and a Porsche. Today's featured car was a Tesla Model S. After winning the day's first item up for bid in contestant's row, Vanessa Ansoorian made her way onto the stage to play "One Away", the first game of the day and one of the more tougher car pricing games, for the Tesla. This was, to say the least, a very surprising, jaw-dropping win. Check out Vanessa's $79,000+ win in the clip below. On a quick end note, although she won her pricing game, Vanessa fell short in the Showcase Showdown and walked away with only (to use the term loosely) $81,212 in prizes.

Quick Review of "The 21st Question"

On the new ITV daytime game show, the game begins with 11 contestants answering the first question that contains 10 possible answers, in which five are right. The contestants who answer correctly in the fastest time decides either which position he/she wants to be placed in the game, between 1 and 10, or become the “Power Player”. During the game, the Power Player will face the other contestants in numerical order, one at a time, in a series of three-question duels. Every time the Power Player answers a question correctly, £100 is added to the jackpot and the question value increases £100 for each additional game the Power Player plays. A challenger is eliminated upon answering a question incorrectly or failing to eliminate the Power Player in three questions or before the 21st question. A Power Player is eliminated upon answering a question incorrectly and the challenger providing a correct answer to the same question. Each contestant is equipped with a “Double Up”, which doubles the difficulty of the question and the question’s value. The contestant who is the Power Player at the end of the 20th question will answer “The 21st Question”.
