Yes, the Game Show Marathon is back, starting on Saturday. Twenty-four games back-to-back, once again raising money for Child’s Play. Last year they raised more than $10,000, so it’ll be interesting to see if they can match or even surpass that this time.
You’ll be able to watch and/or donate here. I’m sure they’ll be available on YouTube afterwards, if you are that way inclined.
It looks like they’re trying several new ones this time around. Here’s the line-up in BST:
