Worth Watching: ‘Race’ Resumes, Animals as Videographers, The Curious Jeff Goldblum

]

For the first time in franchise history, the Emmy-winning The Amazing Race was suspended mid-race when the world shut down because of the pandemic. In this episode, the teams are brought back 19 months later to continue the run, and in this episode, we will likely learn what kept some teams from returning and who’s invited back for the next leg, which kicks off in scenic Switzerland.

Go where no cinematographers are typically allowed in the second season of Nature’s inventive escapade in which custom-fitted cameras are attached to animals, taking us to realms we would otherwise never get to see as they interact in their natural habitat. The first of two episodes, “Oceans,” goes underwater with nesting female turtles, elephant seal pups frolicking in the ocean and tiger sharks diving hundreds of feet into the deep. A second episode, set in Australia, airs Jan. 26.

HGTV: Home Inspector Joe at 9p

PBS: Anmals With Cameras: A Nature Miniseries at 8p IN THE NEWS YouTube is winding down its original programming business, electing to focus on creator-driven content and live shoppable programs. Susanne Daniels, global head of original content at the platform for six years, is exiting and YouTube chief business officer Robert Kyncl was quick to follow the news with confirmation that the company will focus on initiatives including Creator Shorts Fund, Black Voices Fund and Live Shopping, with just two areas of YT originals continuing forth. Daniels initially took the video-sharing platform into the SVOD space with premium originals including “Cobra Kai” and “Step Up,” then led the transition to its ad-supported model and helped grow the creator economy. “Today, there are over 2M creators in the YouTube Partner Program and our creator community has never been more successful: we’ve paid more than $30B to creators, artists, and media companies over the last three years,” Kyncl wrote in a letter to creators yesterday. Let the games begin. Microsoft is acquiring Activision Blizzard in an all-cash, $68.7 billion deal that will have ramifications across the video game sector. The largest transaction in Microsoft’s history will ascend the company to the No. 3 spot among global video game companies by revenue, behind only Tencent and Sony. Warcraft, Diablo, Call of Duty and Candy Crush are among the games in Activision Blizzard’s various ranks, and the company also runs eSports ventures via its Major League Gaming division. The 64th annual Grammy Awards are taking a new gamble. The awards, which postponed its original January date in LA due to the rise of Covid’s Omicron variant, will now take place Sunday, April 3 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

The feature, which promises to delve deep into the Yankovic backstory, was penned by Yankovic and Eric Appel with Appel slated to direct.
