Our favorite judge on America’s Got Talent has brought back one of our favorite game shows ‘Deal or No Deal!’ Howie Mandel was back on the big show and he says we should watch 'Deal' in our underwear!

Why would we do that? Because there's money involved! There’s a new twist this season called the $100,000 lucky case sweepstakes, you get to play along from your couch during all first-run episodes, therefore watching with the underwear option!

Brad Rutter won just over $4.6 million during his run on Jeopardy, and Brad Blanks caught up with him at O'Brien's pub in Santa Monica to talk about the close call with James Holzhauer and if he forsees a huge winner take all Jeopardy tournament happening between himself, James & Ken Jennings! 

We start things off with the news that Sebastian Bach will be playing Skid Row's 1989 self-titled debut album in it's entirety, and apparently Louie is a huge fan from his.... Gilmore Girls days....

We get into the NYC "Operation Meltdown" crackdown of ice cream trucks, and of course the corny humor from John Elliott was unleashed.

Conspiracy theories, sometimes you just can't avoid them! With Jamie Holzhauer's loss on Jeopardy, the big show was torn on whether he threw the game or was beat fair & square.

We called on our game show expert Jason Block "the cuckoo clock" to give us perspective and he wound up making things worse with his stance!
