The Floor crowned its third winner on Wednesday night, and with it came an uproar. The final category directly related to the contestant’s job, and he wound up winning. Steven Havens only had three pieces of the floor and hid in the corner for most of the game. However, when it came down to the final three, he couldn’t hide anymore. After 19-time Jeopardy! champion, David Madden, took down another Jeopardy! champion and many others, he dominated with the most pieces of the floor. Mark Talukdar was also a fan-favorite to win with his category of Fortune 500, but he cracked under the pressure and lost his duel. But, then it came time to pick who Madden wanted to take into the finals. Andrew Edwards had Endangered Animals and Havens had Boy Bands. David was left with Cosplay. These were all inherited categories, so they didn’t have much time to study.

The Floor is coming to an end tonight, with only nine contestant left. Fans of the Fox show discovered one of the finalists has a shocking job and physique. Contestant Mark Talukdar, who has the category Fortune 500, is a bodybuilder. “Mark is a successful entrepreneur/bodybuilder?” a Reddit user wrote. “Really loved the confidence of this guy and found he has a youtube channel.” The Reddit user then linked to Talukdar’s YouTube page, where he shared empowering weight loss stories of people he has worked with. “Dedicated to holistic entrepreneurship, we delve into the transformative journey of building successful businesses while prioritizing health and relationships.

Employees who worked from home or a remote office were less likely to receive pay raises this year compared with in-office workers, according to the findings of a new survey released by LinkedIn this week.

The survey, which weighed responses from more than 8,600 professional workers, found 59 percent of in-office employees received pay increases in 2024, compared with 56 percent of remote workers.

Sixty-four percent of hybrid employees — those who work in an office during some parts of the work week or month, then spend the rest of their time working from home or another location — received a pay raise in 2024, the survey found.

“The findings suggest hybrid work could be the preferred model for both employers who want workers in offices and employees who want to maintain some flexibility without sacrificing compensation in the wake of the pandemic,” wrote Rachel Cromidas, a news editor at LinkedIn.

Spoiler alert! Do not read this story unless you’ve seen Wednesday’s season one finale of Gordon Ramsay’s Food Stars on Fox.

Chef and restaurateur Gordon Ramsay had a tough decision to make during Wednesday’s finale of Food Stars: should he give his $250,000 angel investment to Malibu’s Pizza Girl? Was the creator of Fat Milk more deserving? Or should he reward the guy who wants to hydrate folks and save the environment at the same time?

In the end, Ramsay placed his bet on chemist Chris Kanik, who created the world’s first printed beverage. Kanik’s Smart Cups eliminate the need to bottle and ship liquids. The flavored part is actually imprinted in powder form at the bottom of the plant-based cup; all consumers have to do is add water.

Here, the entrepreneur-cum-family man talks about why he felt the need to appear on Fox’s Food Stars,...

Amber Ruffin, who currently hosts The Amber Ruffin Show on Peacock, is expanding her relationship with NBC, as her comedy pilot, Non-Evil Twin, has been picked up by the network. According to Variety, the late-night host will write and star in the show, which is described as a multi-cam sitcom. It follows a woman who is forced to step into her sister’s role as the leader of a Fortune 500 company, even though she knows very little about business and even less about how her sister had been running the corporation. Ruffin started performing live comedy and improv in 2001, often appearing with The Second City in Denver and Chicago. She has been a writer on Late Night With Seth Meyers since 2014 and appeared on the show in several recurring segments, including “Amber Says What?”, “Amber’s Minute of Fury,” “Jokes Seth Can’t Tell,” and “Point, Counterpoint.” She launched...

NBC has given a comedy pilot order to Amber Ruffin’s “Non-Evil Twin,” which the late-night host will star in, write and executive produce. The multi-cam series is part of NBCU’s ever-expanding relationship with Ruffin and producing partner Jenny Hagel’s banner, Straight to Cards.

The logline for “Non-Evil Twin” is as follows: “A woman is forced to step into her sister’s role as the leader of a Fortune 500 company despite knowing little about business and even less about the way her sister has been running the corporation.”

Hagel serves as EP along with Kenny Smith. Olivia Morris is co-executive producer.

“I’m frigging thrilled to partner with Universal Television to work on my favorite projects with my bestest friend!” Ruffin said.

Amber Ruffin is plotting a move to primetime.

The host of Peacock’s Amber Ruffin Show and writer and performer on Late Night With Seth Meyers will star in, write and executive produce a comedy pilot called Non-Evil Twin at NBC. Former Black-ish and Kenan showrunner Kenny Smith is writing and exec producing with Ruffin, and Late Night writer-performer Jenny Hagel will also executive produce. Olivia Morris is a co-ep.

Universal Television is behind the project. Ruffin and Hagel (via their Straight to Cards production company) and Smith all have overall deals at the studio.

The multicamera Non-Evil Twin follows a woman (Ruffin) who is forced to step into her sister’s role as the leader of a Fortune 500 company — despite knowing little about business and even less about the way her sister has been running the corporation.

Ruffin has hosted, written and executive produced three seasons of The Amber Ruffin Show on Peacock.

The Walt Disney Company responded to Nelson Peltz’s latest demands Thursday with a resounding “No.” The company released a letter in response to materials released by the Trian Group.

Peltz is now requesting that he, or his son if need be, serve on the Walt Disney board of directors instead of Mastercard executive Michael Froman. Froman has served on the board since 2018. In his statement, Peltz argued “the current board has failed to instill a “culture of accountability,” by overpaying executives even as the business has performed poorly; failing to align incentives with shareholders by personally owning stock and failing to heed “constructive shareholder input.”

“The Disney Board of Directors does not endorse Nelson Peltz as a nominee,” stated the official company response. “[Disney] believes the election of either Mr. Peltz or his son would threaten the strategic management of Disney during a period of important change in the media landscape.
