On the inside...
Thursdaywas quite fun...Made a visit to CBS Television City yet again. This time, I went there to check out the big dedication ceremony for the "Price is Right" time capsule and the new Bob Barker Promenade. It was a nice ceremony. They lowered some Price memorabilia including one of Bob's old trademark microphones and a Plinko chip among other things. It's quite amazing what a reaction Bob Barker gets from an audience, especially from people around my age and college students, of which there were plenty of waiting to get into the taping that day. Fun all around...I just STILL find it odd that I'm on the inside of all this and that just a few years ago, I was like those college students waiting outside at CBS
Well, it's offiical. Richard Karn is the new host of "Family Feud." I've already seen some grumbling from people in the groups and message boards. I have seen bits of the audition tape and I gotta say that I was surprised. He does a good job. One thing I noticed is that he really roots for the contestants and gets excited when they win.
There's also been a press release about a couple of revivals we're toying around with, one of which is a show that is very close to my heart (seeing how I was a contestant on the most recent version of it. I can't say too much about that particular revival, BUT if certain things line up the way we hope with it, this go 'round with the show could actually work. Keep your fingers crossed!
Ahh, tonight was the "historic" episode of "Whammy!" that I referred to. I think a more appropriate way to describe this episode was "odd." Not only did we have our first "ZERO" winner, but we had the debut of a live-action Double Whammy. That took some time to figure out the staging of. Kudos to our man in the Whammy costume. He did a terrific job especially considering that it is QUITE hard to see through the costume. Upon closer inspection, the eye holes aren't where you'd expect and they aren't in the most convenient spot. We also had the debut of the split-screen with the Whammy. Credit for that goes to our master director R. Brian DiPirro. Needless to say, it was quite the unusual episode of "Whammy!" and one we thought we'd never see happen. BTW, Alicia, the lone surviving player that episode will be returning this season. We taped her "return" episode on our last day of taping. It hasn't been scheduled yet, but it will turn up some time later this season.
