Ok...so...

The big move begins tomorrow...so I've been packing like crazy every night...

I've had the TV on so I can multitask between packing and keeping up on this week's reality.

And I kid you not...I had to stop packing when Benji and Donyelle hit the stage last night on "So You Think You Can Dance"...

...and I had to throw in a few votes their way...

Fine...there...I admitted it... :-P

Are you game?

Well, I've been given the ok to talk about that projecting I've been working on for Game Show Congress.

On Thursday, July 13th there will be a concert like NO other...

...At 9:00 PM on July 13th is the premiere performance of...

...THE CERAMIC DALMATIANS!

...The first band in history to cover your favorite music from GAME SHOWS!

Yes, my friend Aaron Solomon corralled a bunch of his fellow game show producers and co-horts (including myself) to form a cover band unlike any you've ever seen or heard before...

We'll be making our debut during the first night of this year's Game Show Congress - a gathering of game show fans from around the country.

We'll be playing some classics as well as a few oddballs that you game show fans out there will surely appreciate!

It all takes place at the Burbank Hilton just across the Burbank airport....

...and it's FREE! (If you don't count the fee for parking).

If you live in or are visiting the L.A. area, you should definitely check it out!

Survey says....

Hello, from Philadelphia!!!

Well, they're now up...

Pics from the "Family Feud" finale of CBS's "Gameshow Marathon." Looking back at the "Marathon," it was quite fun to watch and revisit some old game show friends.

The fact that the producers and Ricki had to learn SEVEN game show formats (three of the titles being some of the most difficult in the game show world) is quite an achievement. And the fact that a good number of them came off really well is a miracle!

I was surprised and thrilled that they approached me to help out with the project. It was great to get back to my game show roots and work on a game show where there wasn't an effort to cover up that it's a GAME SHOW!

Even if this is the only "Gameshow Marathon" that ever airs, it was a fun ride and one I'll never forget (thanks to the copies that have now been preserved on DVD.) Hopefully, it has some influence on producers in the future...especially those in the business of reviving classic titles...

Speaking of game shows, for those of you attending the Game Show Congress in Burbank in a couple of weeks, I've been working on a special project for the Congress with a few other of my other game show co-horts. I'm not sure how much I can divulge, but I will say that it will be unveiled on Thursday night. We've been working especially hard on this the past couple of days and it's coming together frighteningly well!

Saw "Superman Returns" on Tuesday and LOVED it...no, it's not just because Brandon Routh is pretty (but that helps...god bless you, Bryan Singer)...it's really good and the guy can actually act...It felt like a natural continuation of the 1st two "Superman" movies with Christopher Reeve.
