What to watch this week

Comedian Patton Oswalt brings his sunny charm to game show hosting in this U.S. instalment of the popular British franchise.“The 1% Club” doesn’t use your standard trivia questions.

On the line? $100,000and bragging rights.
Prime Video 2. The Kardashians
The Kardashian clan is bringing more drama than ever. This season promises beef around issues like Kylie keeping Kendall waiting for an hour during Fashion Week, the family breaking its promise to slow down and be more present, Khloé skipping out on Fashion Week to take care of a pregnant Kourtney, and Kendall raging about being seen as boring. Various health scares pop up for Kris and Kourtney, but we’re mostly rooting for any and all content featuring Kylie’s newest beau, Timothée Chalamet. Disney Plus
3. Thirst With Shay Mitchell
There’s nothing more fun than visiting a new spot and trying a cute local tipple. Shay Mitchell makes an entire show out of this delight in her new travel and food series “Thirst.” Stops include flaming cocktails in Argentina and espresso beer in Colombia.
Crave 4. Lingo
RuPaul Charles has a deep love of vintage kitsch so it only makes sense he now has a game show of his very own.

It’s very Wordle-esque, with players trying to decipher the correct five-letter word; this season, winners can return the following week to rake in even more prize money.
