NEW GAME SHOW PILOT: “Let Me Entertain You!”

Published on Tuesday, August 26th 2008 under Uncategorized

Here’s another sneak peek review of a game show pilot from HOLLYWOOD JUNKET host, Charity (she was there!) -

Written by: Charity C.

Let me entertain you! YES LETS! I was so thrilled to watch such a great TV pilot that’s called, “Let Me Entertain You!” Me, being a Filipino, is a statement we live by!

This new show is just like “America’s Got Talent” but the twist is that the audience is the judge! This show is perfect with somebody that has Attention Deficit Disorder. As soon as fifty percent of the audience clicks their little remote controls in their hands, the performer stops performing, and the show moves on to the next act. Each performer has to beat the previous act in performance time. The ultimate prize is $10,000 dollars!

The performances include variety acts such as: magicians;singers, dancers and basically anything that is entertaining and weird at the same time.
For example, some of the acts were – some Asian guys that did sword stunts and they even broke a stick on his private area and he didn’t even say ouch! These guys were like “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” without the computer graphics! There was also a nine-year-old kid that could play the drums like he was a professional rock star drummer! The audience gave him a standing ovation! Also on the show, was an exotic belly dancer that could move her body like a snake. But, I noticed that most of the audience was NOT impressed! It was too weird for people. I actually liked another act with two guys that played instruments with a balloon by stretching and pulling it and using their feet to strum a guitar and play a drumbeat. Pretty cool!

At the beginning of the show, the producers asked members in the audience with a lot of energy to come onto stage. Of course I jumped at the chance. I knew that I could offer that. Myself and four other people went on stage and did an audition to see who could host the beginning of two of the shows. Each of us on stage had to say our name, where we were from, and that we were there “to be entertained.” By audience applause, a girl named Candice and I got picked to host one show each. I think they liked me cause people were laughing, but then again were they laughing at me or with me? HMMMM? I don’t know? Candice hosted the first show and I hosted the second one. It was pretty fun! The host of the show is Rossi Morreale. He was on Temptation Island in 2001. More recent, he is the current host of game show, “Temptation”. I got to play along with Rossi a little bit! I told him I wanted to have his babies cause he was hot! No I did not say that on the show!

Yeah well, who knows? Will this show make it? Will this show entertain you? We will have to keep our eyes and ears peeled to find out more!

BINGO AMERICA: New Host!

Published on Friday, August 22nd 2008 under GSN

GSN started back filming its interactive show, BINGO AMERICA Wednesday, August 20th. This new season will introduce a new way for studio audiences to play along, as well as a new host!

New host of BINGO AMERICA, Richard Karn

After a reportedly (by a Hollywood Junket host) slew of rough tapings last season, Patrick Duffy as the BINGO AMERICA host is out, and Richard Karn, best known for “Home Improvement”, and one of many hosts of “Family Feud”, is in as the new host of BINGO AMERICA. He is accompanied by an attractive brunette host, Diane.

Karn proves to be friendly, warm, and witty. He approached the front row of the audience and chatted with them. He made light of the slow pace of the show taping and cracked a few jokes one of which was, “they are actually making this into a claymation” as an explanation for the repeated “holds” on set that paused production time after time. During another game with a marathon runner contestant, Karn made another comment that she was doing well because she was in a “marathon” of a show. It was hard for the show to pick-up momentum on-set which I suspect resulted in the overall low energy of both hosts and studio audience.

Studio audiences are given T-Shirts to wear that display letters and numbers. Each T-Shirt is accompanied by two baseball caps, one red and one blue. When the ball is dropped out of the machine, the audience member wearing that correlating letter and numbered T-Shirt stands-up. Whichever contestant answers the trivia question correct, that audience member places the color that the contestant represents of the baseball cap on his/her head and becomes part of the “red” or “blue” team whichever one it may be. If the contestant answers the question wrong, then the audience participate sits down. The best part for the audience is once they become part of a team, if that particular contestant wins his/her game, then each member on that contestant’s team wins $25 cash! Two audience members were lucky enough to win two games ($50), and another one won three ($75)!

Audiences are also made to stand-up in groups at the beginning of each show taping to spell-out B-I-N-G-O.

After two games, the winner of the most letters, goes onto the “Bonus Bingo Round”. If a tie occurs between the two players, then the game goes into a five question tie-breaker. Each category answer starts with the same letter to spell-out B-I-N-G-O. Example questions: “This ‘B’ was a favorite family dog” (Answer: “Benji”), “This ‘I’ is a great cold snack” (Answer: “ice cream”). Winner must answer three correct.

In the “Bonus Bingo Round”, the winning contestant plays a bingo board (not visible from the audience perspective) for $100,000. Each letter is worth different amounts of money, if they manage to avoid the “wrecking balls” in which twenty are hidden throughout the board. The number of wrecking balls increase per column as the contestant plays each “B-I-N-G-O” letter. If the contestant manages to get through the whole board without getting a wrecking ball, they win $100,000. If they get one wrecking ball, it wipes out everything they earned during that bonus round. But, they still get to keep the amount that they won in previous rounds.

Home viewers can play the “Bonus Bingo Round” at home as bonus numbers. Audiences at home can still download and print Bingo cards and play along throughout the rest of the game. Every Wednesday, TV viewers have the chance to win $250.
