Ken will be a celebrity player on The $100,000 Pyramid. The other celebrity player in his game will be Ross Mathews. Ken will also have a game against Mario Cantone.

Four chances for Ken to make it to the Winner's Circle. Ross and Mario have previous experience with the show for whatever edge that will mean. It would be cool if Ken's civilian players have trivia chops and Ken can shortcut some clue giving in ways it would not work if Ken was the civilian.

IIRC Ken does have Pyramid experience. A pilot for $1,000,000 Pyramid produced by someone familiar to him…Michael Davies.

Ken's Pyramid game against Ross Mathews will air during the first half of tonight's episode.

Laughing when Ken described how the chess piece moves instead of doing, "Not day, but...".

No shenanigans from the brothers for the losing brother from the first game to tank the second half to allow $100,000 to be available. Instead it came down to a tiebreaker.

Ken demonstrated skill and quick wit. Naturally. It was nice to see how Michael and Ross were a touch starstruck with Ken there considering how many celebs they have interacted with over the years.

I caught the latter half of Ken's game; he and Ross were quite good, as well as the contestants (two brothers). It was a definite step down to the second half-hour with Carson Kressley and RuPaul (and the second pair of contestants too).

Nothing about KJ, but the 8/7 episode had a moment when the civilian wanted Joe Tessitore to say the word, "box" in a category about things associated with cigars.

She acted out the shape of the container and Joe got it with "cardboard box", but in working so fast on it she got bleeped for continuing on with what must have been an SNL skit reference for _ick in a box. Joe, Rob Riggle and Michael Strahan had hilarious reactions to it while everyone got a good laugh over the contestant's embarrassment.

The 7/16/23 ep. will have Ken on again for a new episode.
