Jimmy Kimmel challenges Trump to compete on game show
Jimmy Kimmel appears to be playing with fire after jibing President Donald Trump with an invitation to compete on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? The 57-year-old, who has been serving as the host since 2020, told Extra he'd like to see exactly 'how much the genius' really knows. Celebrity contestants get their intelligence tested as they're quizzed on a variety of topics in the hopes of winning $1M for a charity of their choosing. Kimmel's barbed comments about Trump come after the US President claimed he and Jimmy Fallon could be 'next' to have their shows cancelled after news that the Late Show with Stephen Colbert will end in May 2026. Kimmel - a vocal critic of the president - admitted he has a lot of respect for any celebrity who does take part. He added: 'I admire anybody that does sit down and come on the show because they're really risking their reputation.' Meanwhile, Trump wrote on his own Truth Social platform recently: 'The word is, and it's a strong word at that, Jimmy Kimmel is NEXT to go in the untalented Late Night Sweepstakes and, shortly thereafter, Fallon will be gone. 'These are people with absolutely NO TALENT, who were paid Millions of Dollars for, in all cases, destroying what used to be GREAT Television. 'It's really good to see them go, and I hope I played a major part in it! (sic)' In response, Kimmel posted on Instagram: 'I'm hearing you're next. Or maybe it's just another wonderful secret.' His contract for Jimmy Kimmel Live! - which airs on ABC - is set to expire in 2026. Meanwhile, Colbert has questioned CBS' statement claiming the decision to end the show was a 'purely a financial decision' move. He asked: 'How could it be purely be a financial decision if The Late Show is No. 1 in ratings?' The announcement his show was ending came after the network's parent company Paramount Global settled a $16 million lawsuit with Trump after he alleged Kamala Harris' 60 Minutes interview was deceptively edited.

Viewers were stunned when she failed to name a capital city that shared her first name… but would you have clocked it? Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 Despite her name literally being one of the answers, the contestant failed to clock the connection Credit: ITV 3 And Warwick Davis has begged ITV chiefs to bring back his gameshow Credit: ITV Host Warwick Davis asked the team to name 10 seven-letter countries beginning with the letters G to L. But things quickly went downhill when Georgia, the contestant, missed a very obvious one. Despite her name literally being one of the answers, she failed to clock the connection and guessed another country instead. The glaring blunder left viewers shouting at their screens. Fans flooded social media in disbelief, with one saying: "What was on her mind..." Another wrote: "Her name is literally a 7-letter country starting with G😂😂" A third penned: "Brain cells working over time?" Meanwhile, Warwick has begged TV bosses to bring back his gameshow, after ITV cancelled it earlier this year in a move that shocked fans. The 54-year-old is mostly known for his roles in major blockbuster films, including the Harry Potter and Star Wars franchises. Bosses originally chose him to front the knowledge show in 2016 until its axing in August. Beloved ITV game show with celebrity host 'set to be shelved' after seven series on air The movie star was left absolutely devastated by the decision as he loved hosting the programme. He now thinks there might be scope for a potential revival, after seeing how upset the fans were over the decision. Warwick told The Daily Star: "Presenting Tenable was one of my favourite things to do. "I loved the show. People tell me they still watch old episodes now and enjoy it. Hardest Quiz Show Questions Would you know the answers to some of quizzing TV's hardest questions Who Wants To Be A Millionaire - Earlier this year, fans were left outraged after what they described as the "worst" question in the show's history. Host Jeremy Clarkson asked: 'From the 2000 awards ceremony onwards, the Best Actress Oscar has never been won by a woman whose surname begins with which one of these letters?' The multiple choice answers were between G, K, M and W. In the end, and with the £32,000 safe, player Glen had to make a guess and went for G. It turned out to be correct as Nicole Kidman, Frances McDormand and Kate Winslet are among the stars who have won the Best Actress gong since 2000. - Earlier this year, fans were left outraged after what they described as the "worst" question in the show's history.

The 1% Club - Viewers of Lee Mack's popular ITV show were left dumbfounded by a question that also left the players perplexed. The query went as follows: "Edna's birthday is on the 6th of April and Jen's birthday falls on the 15th of October, therefore Amir's birthday must be the 'X' of January." It turns out the conundrum links the numbers with its position in the sentence, so 6th is the sixth word and 15th is the fifteenth word. Therefore, Amir's birthday is January 24th, corresponding to the 24th word in the sentence. - Viewers of Lee Mack's popular ITV show were left dumbfounded by a question that also left the players perplexed.

The Chase - The ITV daytime favourite left fans scratching their heads when it threw up one of the most bizarre questions to ever grace the programme. One of the questions asked the player: "Someone with a nightshade intolerance should avoid eating what?" The options were - sweetcorn, potatoes, carrots - with Steve selecting sweetcorn but the correct answer was potatoes. "I feel like I should video people on my phone when they say, 'We miss Tenable' and then send them to ITV!" Warwick knows that he would need to make the commercial case to the higher ups at the channel. He admits that a potential revival would hinge on getting high ratings and bringing in a large profit. The actor added: "The landscape of television has changed immensely with all the streaming services now. "Unless you can pull in the advertisers, you can't get a show on. "One day it may become apparent that Tenable is viable once again. Maybe we could even do a Tenable film one day!"
