SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT!

Last season “Don’t Forget the Lyrics” featured celebrity singers for the first time. The karaoke-style game show recently wrapped its third season. Show ratings have proven to pull-in enough of an audience to book more name celebrity guests and contestants.

That’s right, MORE celebrities will be singing when the new season airs on FOX. The two show dates I attended, featured Rick Springfield, Mark McGrath, Gary Dell’Abate (a.k.a. BaBa Booey), En Vogue, Survivor, game show host, Chuck Woolery, and lead singer of Men At Work, Colin Hay.

Audiences also served as the background to a “People Magazine” photo shoot of producer, Mike Darnell. Wayne Brady announced his new debut R&B album, “A Long Time Coming” that consists of Brady singing a variety of cover songs.

The show had a change of pace, and put two strangers on a blind date with each other on-stage. Their back-up included: ex-girlfriend, ex-husband, and of course, Chuck Woolery. They managed to help each other win a lot of money!

Survivor sang, “Eye of the Tiger”, Rick Springfield sang “Jessie’s Girl” and his new single coming-out soon called, “What’s Victoria’s Secret”. En Vogue gave incredible performances of three songs. So incredible, that I forgot that I was on a game show set. More incredible, I’m not even an En Vogue fan, but I think I may be now.

One contestant was given a second chance. He had gotten to the $25,000 mark on the show. But, gave what was thought to be an incorrect lyric to “The Brady Bunch” theme song. The lyric was: “That’s the way WE all became the Brady Bunch”. Instead, he gave the same lyrics, but instead of “we” he sang it as “THEY”. After the executive producer did some research that night after the show taping, the next morning, it was confirmed that during the first season of “The Brady Bunch” the theme song was not sung by the children of the show. Therefore, the lyric during the first season was indeed “they”. The show brought back the contestant and allowed him to play-out the rest of his game. Did his second wind benefit him with more money? Catch the new season when it airs.

THINK LIKE A CAT: First Day on Set!

Posted September 8th, 2008 by Set News No Comments »

Hollywood Junket host was a stand-in contestant on the new cat game show!

Written by: Charity C.

On your mark get set, MEOW! Ok, for all you cat lovers out there, there’s a new Game Show coming out on GSN called “Think Like a Cat”, hosted by Chuck Woolery!

Host of “Think Like a Cat” gameshow, Chuck Woolery

It was nice to see Chuck on stage! He was very cool, funny, and easy-going on set. I actually didn’t get to see live cats, I was a stand-in where I was just used for blocking for the new show. I used a stuffed pink pussy cat named “Wolfie”. My “contestant” name was “Stephanie”. I loved my made-up intro for myself and my little cat Wolfie! When Chuck asked about my cat, I told him I was single and that my cat Wolfie makes me feel that I don’t need a boyfriend. I also thought it was ironic that Chuck hosted “Love Connection” and if he was still hosting that, then maybe he could have forwarded me to casting for that show.

The first round of the show is called “Fast and the Furriest”. Eight cats and their owners put them in a track and race other cats. The cats are motivated at the other side of the track by “Meow Mix” cat food and their beautiful owners. Three of the fastest cats of that round get to go to the second round. The second round is cute because the show has it set up like “Jeopardy”, but they twist everything in cat lingo. For example: “Just Kitten Around”, “Let’s Get Fuzzical”, “Maw and Paw”, “Famous Felines”, “HISS-story”, and “Cat-tistics”. You could also double your points if you pick a block of points that contained “Pick A Litter”! You have to answer a question from a random celebrity. If you are the one that picked, “pick a litter”, you are the only one that must answer the question. You could also consult your cat for help! Third prize winner gets $10,000, one year supply of “Meow Mix” cat food, and they get to donate $1,500 to any animal charity!

The grand prize winner can win one million dollars as well as cat food and contributing money to an animal charity! Isn’t that great! You would get to bond with your cat and win lots of money. So for all you cat owners out there, start grooming and training your cats to be the next winner in “Think Like a Cat”!
