A new "home game"
« on: August 30, 2003, 12:04:06 AM »
On Friday's \"Late Show\" Dave Letterman introduced the regular edition of \"Will It Float?\" with a copy of the \"Will It Float? home game.

(Wonder if there's a British home game version of \"Is It Buoyant?\")

I think we should all applaud Dave for sticking to his guns and not changing the game to \"Celebrity Will It Float?\"

He did sort of have a Celebrity episode when they found if Kiva, the Grinder Girl, floated. (She did.)

-Chris, still searching ebay.co.uk for a copy of \"Is It Buoyant?\"

Dave: And now, here's our first celebrity of the night...Calista Flockhart!  (applause)  Contestants, it's time to ask...

Audience: WILL SHE FLOAT?!

Dave's actually offered the \"Will It Float?\" home game before.  He also has one for his own version of \"Beat the Clock\", and maybe some of his other regular games.  I absolutely want them!

(And I don't think they released \"Is it Buoyant?\" in the UK.  Maybe the show didn't last long enough.)

Folks, the home games on Letterman aren't real.  They are just mock-ups that he had the art department put together.  But I guess you already knew that :)

Considering that all that's inside according to Dave was a list of items (meaning you have to supply the items, the tank, the water, the models, the grinder girl, the hula hoop girl--and it probably wouldn't hurt for you to supply the band, the announcer and the beautiful New York cityscape), I'd say the $30 is well worth it.  :)

 Well, partially for the sake of non-Letterman viewers who might take this post seriously, and partially just to be a smartie :-)

An inside source at Endless Games tells me that a \"Millionaire or Kenny?\" game is in development for October release, and, in keeping with cost-cutting measures at Endless, the game will only contain leftover photos from the original \"What's My Line?\" home game, for you and your friends to look at and debate whether the subject is a millionaire or some dude named Kenny.

In addition, \"Is This Anything?\" will be adapted into a VCR home game, but again, cost-cutting is in effect at Endless, and the tape that comes with the game will actually just be a bunch of \"That's Incredible!\" reruns, with \"Is This Anything?\" scribbled over the label.

Forgive me... I'm still bitter over their failure to come through with the home game within a home game, \"What About That Guy?\"

And I'm still PO'd that I never got my copy of the Dirty Dozens home game after seeing the ad on In Living Color (\"Fun for all ages...but then, that's what they say about your mama!\"). :-)

Oh please, not this again. We had four *genuine* enquiries from US viewers asking for details of the British show \"Will it Float?\"

 < G.Gottfried > YOU FOOLS! Don't they remember that over there, it was called \"Is It Buoyant?\" :P

(and why do I have to look up the spelling of \"buoyant\" every time I type that?)

 \"Hmm. No, she doesn't seem to float. Of course, the fact that they're holding her under the water doesn't seem to be helping...\"
