Posted on Craigslist in Los Angeles

One could have used the same description for "On The Cover".

Thanks for posting this, and all the other Craigslist casting calls.

"Fame Game" is a firm go for an initial 40 episodes to start taping June/July. From all I've heard from the Executive Producer, it should be a fun show.

Here's to more games!

And who's that?

And isn't it interesting that after all of the hubbub about the reformatting of GSN, it's still (more or less) traditional studio games that are driving the channel.

"You can win a vacation package!"

I smell a show produced with the budget-so-low-Bob-Stewart-would-be-in-awe school of thought.

GSN could stand to put on a few original shows like that

I would rather have a good game than not.

And before we get too judgmental, Stewart was the man behind the first regular five-figure payout on game shows since the quiz scandals. Of course, he made you work for it, but that's a good thing.

I'm not sure we should herald him as a hero when he trumpeted a grand prize he only even made it POSSIBLE to pay out from the third win forward.

As a viewer, I'd take making a contestant work for the money, as opposed to a show that gives away oodles for doing virtually nothing.

Que?

You couldn't win $10K every time you went to the Winner's Circle?

$20K. But I still give the man major props for bringing in the 10.

Clay Zambo · « **Reply #13 on:** June 01, 2006, 04:06:15 PM »

I meant to say "at least $10K." And in the first version, that's all there was, right?

Unless I'm completely high (and that's certainly possible), I thought it worked the same way the 20K show did, where the first two trips were worth lesser amounts, and only the third and following trips were worth the full ten grand.
