HOLEY MOLEY – “Is This Guy Weird?” – “Holey Moley”’s penultimate episode, where eight contestants compete for the last spot in the finals, sees an interesting putting stance on Dutch Courage En Fuego, a loud and interesting duo on The Distractor, and Rob Riggle professing his love to Miss Piggy rom-com style. Later, Stephen Curry stops by the course to explain King Parthur’s Court, where the contestants face off in a sudden-death putt-off. Sweet Donut Hole competitors compare flavor notes before one is saved by a late drop, and the final round marks the best tee shot ever seen on The Trap-Tee-Zee. Only one competitor leaves with the golden putter, coveted plaid jacket and a chance to compete for the $250,000 prize when “Holey Moley: FORE-EVER” airs TUESDAY, JULY 5 (8:00-9:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC.

THE CHASE – “I Don’t Think We’ve Seen Anything Like That Before” – Brad “The Buzzsaw” Rutter takes his first turn as The Chaser in this race against the clock quiz show. Do three new players beat the chaser or get caught? “The Chase” airs SUNDAY, JUNE 27 (9:00-10:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC. (ABC/Raymond Liu)
BRAD RUTTER
On the Sunday, June 27 episode of THE CHASE, Brad “The Buzzsaw” Rutter gets his first season 2 showcase, as he faces off against three new contestants who are hoping to survive their head-to-head with him. If they manage to get through that, the remaining team members team up in the Final Chase, where they try to answer as many questions in a couple of minutes, with the hope that Rutter won’t be able to catch up.
But in addition to Rutter’s time on THE CHASE, he has quite the game show resume—he competed on JEOPARDY, off-on, for two decades, where he won more money (collectively) than anyone in the show’s storied history.
Ahead of Rutter’s first season 2 episode of THE CHASE, he talks about the changes to the show in its sophomore year, the question he got wrong that still eats at him, and more… Read more

THE CHASE returns for season 2 on Sunday, June 6 as a new batch of contestants team up in an attempt to take on the squad of Chasers, hoping to both outwit them one-on-one in the Cash Builder round, and then, in success, as part of a team effort in the final round.
But in season 2, the Chasers are getting a little bit of help. In addition to the JEOPARDY GOATs—James Holzhauer, Ken Jennings, and Brad Rutter—returning, Mark Labbett (who has appeared on international versions of the show for a dozen years, as well as the GSN version that ran in the 2010s) has joined the mix.
“We wanted to bring in Mark Labbett, The Beast, from the UK, which was one of my favorite things to do,” executive producer Vincent Rubino explains. “Rob Mills, [an executive] from ABC, had always wanted to do that from the get-go, but we felt like we need to break the show in primetime with people that America knew, the GOATs, and then season 2, we could introduce Mark. And it was the right time, that’s for sure.”
Here, Rubino talks about the changes the show made between seasons, how The Beast is shaking up the show, finding the right contestants, and more… Read more
