If you’ve heard about the show or seen the promos and still find yourself a little flummoxed about how the whole thing goes down, here’s the gist. A different quartet of chefs competes […]

July 23, 2013 StayTuned Staff

Alfonso Ribeiro has had many jobs over his 30-year career in show business, which started back in the 1980s when he danced alongside Michael Jackson in a Pepsi commercial. From there he was the cool, streetwise Alfonso on Silver Spoons before completely reinventing himself in the ’90s as the hilariously uptight Carlton Banks in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. He’s now showing off his comedy chops as host of ABC Family’s outrageous new game show Spell-Mageddon, which challenges its contestants to spell normal, everyday words while dodging hazards that prove a bit distracting, all in the hopes of getting a […]
