While at the dorms early this morning, something appeared called "Your Face or Mine"...a game show....how long has this been airing, and what are some other peoples thoughts?

Has been on for a few months. I have seen a few episodes but not enough to make an educated review. :)

It's enjoyable once in awhile.

I generally don't turn on MTV for game shows. I'm still of the mindset that MTV is a music channel.

MTV plays music? Who told you that?

Oh, I don't actually watch MTV, it's just that when I think of MTV, I have been conditioned to think it's a music channel.

A while now. My Tivo grabbed it once. Once. We had a little talk after that.
It's definitely Not Scottish.

I've been conditioned to think that MTV is something I am never showing my daughter.
I would most likely get antsy even showing her old eps of Remote Control...

Well, in the haydays of when MTV first started, it was called Music Television and played music videos nonstop... So yeah, they sill sort of do in a limited amount of programs...

It's been on for about only a couple of months. Like many other crappy MTV game shows, or shows in general, it's on it's way out. And it reeks.

I may have gone crazy, but I'm pretty sure they occasionally still use the byline "Music Television" (on merchandise, anyway...I think). And if you stay up until 4 AM, you might actually catch a whole music video.

Give credit where credit is due. MTV does still play full videos on MTV Clash, All Things Rock and Direct Effect (all hip-hop). They start playing only videos around 2AM Eastern Time.

I saw a couple of episodes of that show, but it's nothing to sneeze at. Basically, it's a cross between "Bzzz" & "3's A Crowd" to me. Not the best out there from MTV. I personally liked "Remote Control" from the late 80's & "Turn It Up" from the early 90's.

What on Earth does "Your Face or Mine" have to do with BZZZ or Threes a Crowd?
There is NOTHING in the format that matches either, even remotely!

Can I just ask who hosts this?
The UK version was hosted by current US television comedy sensation Jimmy Carr and June Sarpong, who you won't know.

THAT is a name I need to throw in my Tivo, in case he shows up on any of the late-night talk shows in the near future. He is a FUNNY, funny man.
-
That's interesting. I suspect he's waaaay more popular over there than he is over here.
He can do a good joke, but I find him a bit mediawhore so I can't warm to him.
You might be interested to note that he first found fame on rubbish nightly "satirical" Channel 4 programme "The 11 O Clock Show", which also launched the careers of Ricky Gervais offof The Office and Sacha Baron-Cohen AKA Ali G. It's impressive and baffling that they've gone on to better things (other than Ali G, who was always "the good one off of The 11 O Clock Show").
-
I don't know... I saw Carr on Question Time while I was in the UK recently, and again on Sports Relief... he seems to be a funny guy, but there's nothing that seems to be *his*, you know? It's one of those situations where his jokes are funny but there's nothing I've heard out of him that I haven't heard better out of Paul Merton.

Is this not the guy hosting "distraction" for comedy central?

The very same, I do believe.
Tommy, my guess is that Carr's style of comedy might not be original in the UK, but we don't see much of that here aside from stuff like Steven Wright, who is also a funny man, but the difference between him and Carr is that you don't want to slit your wrists after seeing Carr. :)

Please don't give the producers any ideas for "distraction"s.

Yes, and he hosted our version as well (which I'm gathering is rather harsher than what they're going to put contestants through on the US show).
I think he'd be more likable if he picked his vehicles a bit better. He should, of course, use a bike.
I wonder how much of his popularity over there is down to his quaint plummy accent?

I'd bet money that Jimmy Carr is hosting Distraction because no one in their right mind here would want to be associated with it...
I'm fairly serious here. One of the reasons the Weakest Link took so dang long to find a syndie host, was because many celebs were concerned that being a 'mean, insulting' host would hurt their careers in the long runs... Local affils were none too happy that they had bought a show that had no host until a mere 2 months before the premiere!
Did Comedy Central have difficulty linking a host to Distraction cause of it's sadistic nature?
Jimmy may be perfect for Distraction...by default!

Thats quite interesting. I suspect in truth it's much simpler than that. Carr is flavour of the month at the moment and he wants to break America. Comedy Central offer him the role he already does anyway so they can be associated with him... everyone's a winner really.
