The Good Place Finale Post Show Special; Guy Fieri Is Up for a Food Network Face-Off

The Good Place will go out with a forkin' good time this Thursday (Jan. 30) at 8:30 p.m., as we already know, but don't forget there is something special as well. The series finale gives fans an extra-long 90-minute block dedicated to the award-winning show, which includes an extended episode as well as a post-show special featuring the full cast and hosted by Seth Meyers of Late Night with Seth Meyers. The post-show special will be filmed live in front of a studio audience in Studio 6A of 30 Rockfeller Center in New York City. Joining the fun in this special is series creator Michael Schur and stars Kristen Bell, Ted Danson, D'Arcy Carden, Jameela Jamil, Manny Jacinto and William Jackson Harper. The entire block airs from 8:30pm-10pm ET/PT this Thursday night on NBC.
It's madness on Food Network this March as Guy Fieri hosts and executive produces an all new culinary competition where 16 of the nation's most celebrated chefs face-off on Tournament of Champions, premiering on Wednesday, March 4, 2020 at 10pm with a supersized 90-minute episode stuffed with edge-of-your-seat action. During the five-part tournament, the chefs' skills will be pushed to the limit, as they go head-to-head in a single elimination bracket-style competition, where a randomizer machine determines the protein, produce, equipment, cooking style, and time for each of the cook-offs. The pressure is on and emotions are high throughout this unpredictable tournament, as the elite chefs enter this blind competition not knowing who their opponents will be, or what cooking challenges they will face. The intensity increases in each sudden-death each round of the tournament as the coveted spots decrease from 16 to eight in the second round, then to four, until there are only two chefs in the final round.
