Title: Arquette to host new game show...

...Bank likens the show to the old Hollywood panel games like “Hollywood Squares” and “Match Game,” but with the attitude of a celebrity roast. Seven celebs will take part in each episode, which Bank envisions as a weekly primetime series.
Discouraging:

Bank said he’d ideally like to theme each episode so that the celeb panel already has a pre-existing relationship – such as former sitcom cast mates or the Kardashian family. “The more they know each other, the funnier it will be,” Bank said.

Not sure how that's inherently discouraging, other than the fact that the Kardashians are cited.

/that probably is enough, though

I'm guessing the fact that it could lead to a bunch of inside jokes between the panelists...but the MG panel seemed to have a few themselves.

Let's hope he doesn't win a Daytime Emmy for best game show host by accidentally pinning the producers in the ring.

Sounds like one of those boring old games where the celebrities tell stories about themselves. Tattletales. All Star Secrets. Pilots like Cop Out. Bleech. Give me a Dumb Dora question any day.
