FX's Baskets to End After This Season; GSN's Catch 21 Returns with Dancing with the Stars Duo Reunion

FX Networks announced that its critically acclaimed comedy series Baskets will come to an end with the show's season four finale on Thursday, August 22 on FX. Baskets is executive produced by Jonathan Krisel, Zach Galifianakis, Marc Gurvitz and Andrea Pett-Joseph, and stars Galifianakis, Louie Anderson, Martha Kelly and Alex Morris. It is produced by FX Productions. Season four of Baskets continues Thursdays at 10pm. In the three seasons that Baskets has been Emmy Award(R) eligible, Louie Anderson won an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series and was nominated two additional times for his work as loving matriarch "Christine Baskets."

Catch 21 - Witney Carson and Alfonso Ribeiro

Game Show Network, the leader in game shows and competitive entertainment, has announced Alfonso Ribeiro (America's Funniest Videos) has returned as host of its Catch 21 reboot. Witney Carson (Dancing with the Stars) joins as card dealer, reuniting the former dance partners in a game show first. The half-hour series is anticipated to premiere in Fall 2019. In Catch 21, dealing out larger-than-life playing cards, the host quizzes contestants with general-knowledge questions as they attempt to build the closest hand to 21. Part knowledge, part nerve, and part strategy, every correct answer is a chance to add a card and build a better hand or pass the card and "bust" the competition. In addition, every correct answer gives a player control of the deck and the option of "freezing" their hand to protect themselves from being "busted" later in the round. Putting a familiar twist on a classic game, players match wits and put victory on the line in every round with the turn of a card and the next correct answer.
