Worldwide Pants Developing New Game Show For Nickelodeon

The entertainment industry news magazine The Hollywood Reporter (THR) is reporting the exciting Nickelodeon News that Worldwide Pants Inc., the American television and film production company owned by comedian and talk show host David Letterman, is currently developing a potential brand-new game show for Nickelodeon!:
Worldwide Pants: Letterman's production company isn't going anywhere. The shingle, which makes Late Show, co-produces The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson, rakes in syndication money from Everybody Loves Raymond and has an active development slate, including a game show at Nickelodeon and a Harry Connick Jr. comedy at Fox. Insiders say Letterman hasn't decided how personally involved he wants to be, though president and CEO Rob Burnett will remain at the helm. It is unlikely that Worldwide Pants will produce a late-night show post-Letterman, who, aside from Johnny Carson, has been the lone late-nighter to own his time slot. Notes one source, "CBS is buying retail when they could be buying wholesale."

British and Irish ShellHeads, take cover, there's a Wormquake on the way! Nickelodeon UK, the number one commercial kids TV network in the UK, has announced in a advertisement in the April 2014 issue (#13) of Panini's "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" magazine and on the What's On section of their official website, nick.co.uk, the Booyakasha TMNT news that Nick UK's animation and action channel, Nicktoons UK and Ireland, will premiere and show the hour-long special "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" season 2 episode "Wormquake!" in two parts on Saturday 12th April 2014!

"Wormquake!" is a all-new hour-long special that is packed with epic ninja battles, Kraang worms (yes, you read that right), and the long awaited arrival of... TIGER CLAW!

In "Wormquake!", Leonardo must decide whether to risk his brothers' lives or ask for Splinter's help when facing Shredder's deadly new assassin, Tiger Claw. Meanwhile, Donatello must put aside his rivalry with Casey Jones in order to uncover a Kraang plot. The episode also features a special reunion of the original "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" ("Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles" in the UK) voice cast, Townsend Coleman, Barry Gordon and Rob Paulsen, who reprise their roles as the 1987 counterparts of Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael, respectively, at the end of the episode.
