Question:

Joe Biden will officially become the 46th president of the United States, and Kamala Harris will become the first woman and person of color as vice president, effective at 12:01pm ET on Wednesday, Jan. 20.

Very few details on what this Inauguration Day will look like were available at presstime, but it’s likely that with ongoing pandemic precautions still in place, there will not be the usual crowds gathered in Washington, D.C., for the oath-of-office ceremonies. The traditional nighttime celebratory balls and parties will probably be more subdued than usual, if they are held at all.

You’ll find inauguration coverage on the usual networks like ABC, CBS, CNN, FOX, FOX News Channel, MSNBC, NBC and PBS, among others. They will likely have some sort of coverage throughout the day starting in the morning; check listings for more information on respective networks’ start and end times for inauguration coverage. — Jeff Pfeiffer

When will Alex Trebek’s final episode of Jeopardy! air?

Goodbye, Alex

“Jeopardy!” Airs Alex Trebek’s Final Episodes And Begins A New Era. By Jeff Pfeiffer Game show fans were saddened by the passing of longtime Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek Nov. 8 at age 80, due to complications from pancreatic cancer. Even during his nearly two-year battle with the disease, Trebek valiantly continued the hosting duties he had performed for nearly 40 years, and he worked up until a mere 10 days before his passing (his last day in the studio was Oct. 29). The final episodes of Jeopardy! that Trebek recorded will air the week of Jan. 4-8.

Starting the week of Jan. 11, Jeopardy! will begin its post-Alex era with episodes that resumed production on Nov. 30. A long-term replacement host has not yet been announced, but for now there will be a series of interim guest hosts, beginning with record-holding former Jeopardy! champ Ken Jennings. Additional guest hosts will be announced in the future.

EVERYONE LOVES A

Who’s going to be asking to buy a vowel is yet to be known, but the dynamic duo of Pat Sajak and Vanna White will be hosting a new version of the classic game show during primetime. A slew of celebs will spin the iconic wheel for their chance to win up to $1 million for their favorite charity. After 38 seasons of watching Wheel of Fortune, it’s about time we get a spinoff (no pun intended)! We caught up with Vanna just hours before filming, where she was getting ready to greet the celebrity contestants and give them some helpful hints like “be sure to buy vowels” and “concentrate on the puzzle board, don’t worry about the wheel.” Here she shares a bit more.

After 38 seasons, what did it take to get this spinoff going?

Vanna White: I think because of all the stuff that’s

ABC, Thursdays beginning Jan. 7

going on, the network probably wanted some happy times to put on the air. It gives people a chance to have fun in primetime, because we’ve never done it in 38 years. It’s going to be fun!

What has changed in the show’s format?

It’s going to be all cash, so there are no prizes on the wheel. But there are going to be several million-dollar wedges on the wheel, so they have the chance to win up to a million dollars for their favorite charity within the hour.

We know you can’t share celeb names on who is playing, but anyone who will have you a little starstruck?

Of course, yes. There are some that I’ve never met so I’m looking forward to meeting them, and most of the time I don’t get starstruck.

CELEBRITY WHEEL OF FORTUNE

NEW GAME!

THE CHASE

ABC, Thursdays beginning Jan. 7 This series is described as a heart-racing quiz show where three competitors must pit their wits and face off against the Chaser, a ruthless quiz genius determined to stop them from winning cash prizes. Each hourlong episode is a fast-paced battle of brainpower, where contestants are challenged to think faster than they ever thought possible to answer up to 166 questions across all topics.

THE HUSTLER

ABC, Thursdays beginning Jan. 7 ABC is touting this new show for breaking the game show mold by having one player who secretly already knows the answers. But don’t let that fool you, as it doesn’t mean that individual actually takes home the prize. The game’s format follows five contestants as they work together to answer a series of trivia questions worth $10,000 each, with the goal of growing their prize pot with each correct answer. The catch is that the Hustler (the contestant who knows the answers) must keep his/her identity a secret in order to have a shot at winning the grand prize. Throughout each episode, two contestants are anonymously eliminated by the Hustler, leaving three remaining contestants — the Hustler and two others — who must collectively decide who they think the Hustler is. If they are right, they share the prize pot that could be worth over $100,000. If the two contestants are wrong, the Hustler goes home with the full cash reward.

Is your wardrobe going to be different now that you are in primetime?

It is. They actually hired another stylist (I already have one) to come in and pick specific outfits. [She’s never worn the same dress twice!] I’ll have some different outfits on than normal. I was thinking they were going to put me in glittery evening gowns every show, but, no, they have it mixed up. We have a little bit of everything.

Which celebrities would you pick to be on the show, and what charity would you be playing for?

Mine would range from feature films to HGTV ... and then there are singers, just so many different people.

I’d like to see a variety. I have my own line of yarn [Lion Brand Yarn, Vanna’s Choice] and I donate half of my proceeds to St. Jude [Children’s Research Hospital]. I’ve donated, which I’m very happy, honored and proud to say, over $2 million to them. It warms my heart. It’s one of the best things I ever decided to do.

GO-BIG SHOW

TBS, Thursdays beginning Jan. 7

When it comes to competition series, this one’s got a bit of America’s Got Talent, Ripley’s Believe It or Not!, Evel Knievel-like stunts and pure crazy built into it.

Along with your average joes, world record holders also take part in the series, all demonstrating their radical feats and sharing their personal behind-the-scenes stories as they battle head-to-head to impress the judges and advance toward the finale’s ultimate $100,000 prize. Celebrity judges include Snoop Dogg, Rosario Dawson, Jennifer Nettles and AEW’s Cody Rhodes, with Bert Kreischer as host.

Your TiVo Experience Road Map

TIPS FOR USING TIVO

®

A TiVo DVR is more than just a set-top box that also records live TV. With a number of features that make your TV-watching better, there’s a lot you can do with the TiVo Experience.

Here are two tips for getting the most out of your TiVo system. Watch this space for additional tips in later months.

1. Download The TiVo App: Did you forget to tell your DVR to record the big game or that show you wanted to watch, but you’ve already left the house?

No problem. With the TiVo app, you can schedule it from your phone. Search for shows and browse your guide on the app anywhere you are.

Do you want to watch something, but someone else is already watching the TV in your house? As long as you’re connected to your home network, just log in to the app and stream your recorded show or live TV on your phone or tablet!

2. Take Advantage Of Suggestions And Ratings: The more you watch TV — and the more you rate programming using the Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down buttons on your remote — the smarter your TiVo DVR becomes at finding shows you’ll like. You can find these suggestions as a filter in your My Shows list, so when you’re in the mood for something new, you can easily find a new favorite.

Services may not be available in all areas, and some restrictions apply. Number of available channels may vary by area and cable package. Please refer to your cable lineup for details.
