Title: Anybody Know Of This New Game Show Pilot?
Post by: TimK2003 on April 01, 2007, 06:36:54 PM
It sounds like a fictitious story, but the article appears on page 11-A in the Sunday Denver Post, and is seen here on MSNBC.com (http://\"http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17890575/\") and the Associated Press is cited as the original article source.

All they mention is this 12-year-old was in Hollywood recently to tape a game show pilot.

Anybody know more information on this pilot?  It would make sense for "I've Got A Secret", but that show AFAIK is toast.

Wow.

Wouldn't surprise me if someone picks this up...which describes the sad state of game shows now.  I wish Mark Goodson was still around today....

For shame, making cracks like that. You better clean up your act, Mike.

Not a bad runner-up LOTD...

Even if we give that pilot the benefit of the doubt, and assume that "blindfolded vacuum identification" was just one particular competition, who in the name of heaven decides that that's a winning segment for their pilot? I mean, we all know that the only thing more exciting than listening to vacuum cleaners on TV is to watch people try to guess their models!

If you don't like 'em, you can use a (HEPA) filter and block me.  Otherwise, you're hosed.

Foreign Panel : Does this type of stunt remind you of something seen on "Wanna Bet?" Cause that just taped on Friday.

Some of these jokes suck and the others blow.  I therefore declare this the first Official Wind Tunnel Thread.

Thank God all these vacuum posts don't come with attachments!

I think we should bag it. Unless the vacs are bagless.

I thought the whole wind tunnel joke belonged to the blonde jokes thread.

So who's going to host?  Pat Sajak... OR Rick Schroeder?

How about Pat Schroeder?  ;-)

At least it beats yet another comedian getting a hosting gig....

I was going to post a pun, but changed my mind. I'm like nature, in that I abhor a vacuum.

Personally, I think everyone putting a pun here should get called out on the carpet....

(please..no shag jokes...)

Certainly You Bet! often featured one or two obscure knowledge based challenges like this each week. Wetten Dass normally has one, from the limited episodes of it I've seen.

Incidentally, if you want to have a look at the sort of thing you can see on Wetten Dass, the official website has loads of videos:

(You'll need to go to old episodes, which is Sendungen, pick an episodes and the bets should be on the right, although the bets for the episode on last weekend (ep. 168 from Freiberg) aren't up yet).

Hoover joke!
