Get ready for a couple more celebrity episodes on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire! When we first posted about the stars who would be showing up to play this season, many people were interested in finding out when the guys from Deadliest Catch would be appearing. Well, your wait is just about over.

Johnathan and Andy Hillstrand, captains of the Time Bandit, will play Millionaire next week, on February 2nd and 3rd. Their winnings will be donated the the Seattle Fishermen's Memorial.

Also coming up next month is Mike Rowe, who does the voice work for Deadliest Catch and, of course, stars on Dirty Jobs. Rowe will appear on Millionaire on February 27th and 28th, and his winnings will go to the mikeroweWORKS foundation. We'll post an additional reminder to tune in when his episode gets closer to airing.

Last year the Game Shows site joined the annual About.com Readers' Choice Awards for the first time, and the response was tremendous. It was so good, in fact, that we're doing it all again -- and this time there are even more categories! (You can check out the finalists and winners from last year's awards right here.)

Here's how it works. From now through February 15th we'll be collecting nominations in each of ten categories. The Game Show categories are:

• Best Game Show
• Best Classic Game Show
• Best Game Show Host
• Best Game Show Announcer
• Favorite Game Show Contestant or Contestant Team
• Best Game Show Twitter Feed
• Best Facebook Game Show Game
• Best Mobile Game Show Game
• Best Official Game Show Website
• Best Independent/Fan Game Show Blog or Website

You can find all of the details on each category, as well as links to each nomination form, on the Readers' Choice Awards Game Show main page. To nominate, simply click on the link for the category you want, sign in/register or log in via Facebook, and type in your choice in the space provided. After submitting you'll see a link to return to the Game Shows awards page, where you can choose another category for nominations if you wish.

Nominations will close on February 15th and they'll all be tallied. In each category, five finalists will be chosen based on the number of nominations they received. The finalists will be announced on February 22nd, and voting for the winners in each category will commence at that time.

If you have any questions or problems with the process, need more information, or want a copy of the graphic to use for promotion, leave a comment below or drop me an e-mail. Let's get those nominations coming in!

Happy 90th birthday to the one and only Betty White! The First Lady of Game Shows was honored last night on NBC with a birthday celebration, as well as her new reality show Off Their Rockers. It was a fun evening of programming for sure, full of laughs, and NBC even benefitted from some decent ratings. That's the magic of Betty White, folks.

Betty's a fantastic actress, comedienne, and writer, but we all love her even more for her incredible support of the game show genre. Here's a question: If you could see Betty White appear as a celebrity contestant on any current game show, which one would it be? (And let's be clear - losing horns and no parting gifts to the first person who says, "Wipeout!")

Now then, who's going to get the next incarnation of Password going? It must be time for a fix soon.

If you've got some time to kill this holiday weekend, here are some blogs and game show stories to check out!
