Fox Announces Special Post NFL January Premieres; TBS Comedy Wipeout Returns in January for Season 2
Fox Entertainment kicks off midseason with special Sunday premieres of Next Level Chef, Call Me Kat and Pivoting, following NFL on Fox doubleheaders. Gordon Ramsay's new unscripted cooking competition, Next Level Chef, will premiere immediately following the NFL on Fox doubleheader and The OT "live" in all time zones on Sunday, Jan. 2 (approx. 8:00-9:00 PM ET / 7:00-8:00 PM CT / 6:00-7:00 PM MT / 5:00-6:00 PM PT). Then, Season Two of sitcom Call Me Kat (8:00-8:30 PM ET / 7:00-7:30 PM CT / 6:00-6:30 PM MT / 5:00-5:30 PM PT) and the series premiere of new comedy Pivoting (8:30-9:00 PM ET / 7:30-8:00 PM CT / 6:30-7:00 PM MT / 5:30-6:00 PM PT) will debut immediately following the NFL on Fox doubleheader and The OT "live" in all time zones on Sunday, Jan. 9 (the final day of the 2021 NFL regular season). Time period premieres for all three programs will be announced soon. Stay tuned for that and the rest of the Fox midseason 2022 schedule.
All new episodes of TBS comedy Wipeout return on Thursday, January 11, 2022 at 9pm/8c on TBS. Hosted by multifaceted megastar John Cena (F9, The Suicide Squad, Peacemaker) and Emmy Award-nominated actress/comedian Nicole Byer (Nailed It!, Girl Code), with field host Camille Kostek (Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Cover Model 2019, Free Guy), Wipeout is an adrenaline-fueled comedy competition series that pushes contestants' athleticism, endurance and determination as they race to win the grand cash prize. Each game is split into three rounds and features a jaw-dropping, three-stage obstacle course consisting of multiple strategy and decision points designed to test the stamina of the competitors. This season welcomes teams from a variety of different backgrounds including a father-son duo with an unusual physical attribute, a record-breaking run by two firefighters, a sex therapist who has the hots for one of the hosts, and a divorced couple who team up to win the big prize – and features a few twists along the way from an obstacle course marriage proposal to Camille finding she's been replaced by a sock puppet on her sick day to a redemption episode featuring some of John and Nicole's favorite competitors from across the season. Testing the willpower of each contestant pairing, Wipeout captures the very best in extreme sports competition all while delivering laughs and more than a few epic fails.
