Once, while delirious from fever and attempting to fall asleep, I came up with a...um...brilliant, let's say...premise for a game show called \"All-Star Damn It!\" that was basically the same as \"Celebrity Sweepstakes, with the exception that if a contestant was behind, they were allowed one chance (and only one chance) to yell \"Damn it!\" The emcee would then read a series of true-false questions with correct answers worth $25 and wrong answers costing $100. Bonus game was the \"Balls Ahoy!\" round, where the contestant stood on a greased platform and tried to answer questions about the celebrities. If they gave a wrong answer, the celebrity threw a dodgeball at them. If the contestant could give 10 correct answers before the end of 45 seconds, or before falling over, whichever came first, they won one of 100 envelopes, which could be hiding anything from an oyster mallet to a somewhat larger oyster mallet.
It was, as I recall, a really bad fever.

Hey, I got this weird idea for a show.
You know shows are allways worried about someone discovering all of the answers and rig the game. Well, the show I've come-up with gives all the contestants the answers outright, but the wrinkls is that they must come up with the answer's question !! Ha-ha Brilliant ! No ?
And maybe we can get that drunk \"Concentration\" dude to host it ?

Yep. I was right.

OK, here's my second attempt, also unoriginal: how about that American Goodson concept we batted around at ezBoard? Right now, we're all losing.
Now if you don't mind, it's time for Hit the Buzzer, Win a Cookie.
