ABC's New Game Show The Greatest Average American; Prime Video Christmas Movie

Stand-up comedian Nate Bargatze will host the all-new game show, The Greatest Average American, premiering Wednesday, February 25 (9:02-10:02 p.m. EST), on ABC and next day on Hulu.

The Greatest Average American is a hilarious new game show that celebrates the power of being perfectly average. Each round is packed with laugh-out-loud challenges and trivia as contestants try to guess how everyday Americans think and live. In the end, one lucky player will be crowned the Greatest Average American and get the chance to win the ultimate grand prize: the average American salary of $67,920.

Most recently, Bargatze hosted the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards on CBS, which was the highest-rated Emmy’s show in the last four years. Bargatze will soon star in the family-friendly comedy The Breadwinner for TriStar Pictures, which he co-wrote with Dan Lagana. He will also serve as an executive producer. The film will co-star Mandy Moore, Colin Jost, Will Forte and Kumail Nanjiani, and will be directed by Emmy winner Eric Appel.

It wouldn't be the holidays without a bit of chaos. Oh. What. Fun. premieres December 3 on Prime Video. Claire Clauster (Michelle Pfeiffer) is the glue that holds her chaotic, lovable family together every holiday season. From perfectly frosted cookies to meticulously wrapped gifts, no one decks the halls quite like Claire. But this year, as her grown kids and distracted husband get swept up in their own seasonal dramas, they make one crucial mistake: they forget their mom. By the time they realize she's missing, Claire's already set off on a festive adventure of her own - one that doesn't involve cooking, cleaning, or coordinating anyone else's chaos. As her family scrambles to find her and salvage their Christmas, Claire rediscovers what the holidays mean when you're finally free to put yourself first.

With a dazzling ensemble cast including Felicity Jones, Chloë Grace Moretz, Denis Leary, Dominic Sessa, Danielle Brooks, Devery Jacobs, Havana Rose Liu, Maude Apatow, with Jason Schwartzman with Eva Longoria and Joan Chen, Oh. What. Fun. is a spirited holiday comedy from director Michael Showalter and writers Chandler Baker and Showalter. A wink to every overworked holiday host, the film celebrates family, freedom, and the unexpected magic of a Christmas gone off-script.
