Title: Easiest Show for Celebrity Panelists?
Post by: Ian Wallis on October 08, 2004, 12:34:16 PM

Well...the natural followup to the thread about the hardest show would be the easiest show for the panelists.  I have two that I think would be fairly easy:

"Match Game 7x"
"Hollywood Squares"

Depends--even with the briefings, back in the Marshall days supposedly only the regulars or "friends of Squares" were fed jokes and Rich Little once said that he had to come up with his own material off the cuff (although it should be stated that they helped him out by almost exclusively doing questions about the celebrities he impersonated).  And on "MG" there's always the risk of looking foolish on national TV, if you're easily embarrassed or sensitive.

In some ways, I'd say "Word Play" or "Balderdash"--show up and read the material and don't make it look obvious that you have notes on your desk.  And on "Balderdash," hope you don't get picked for the end game and keep getting stuff you don't know passed to you.

"Hollywood Squares" and "Balderdash" make me think of another show...

"Break the Bank!"

But you still have to be in judgment of the acts and experience the catharsis as some acts give their all on coast-to-coast national tee-wee and still can't come up to snuff...

Oh, yeah, that's right--no judge really gave a flying you-know-what about hurting the acts' feelings on *that* show.  Gong 'em all!
