The fellow at Shokus asked me to remind you that it's not too late to register for his new game show. It's called "Anyone Can Play!" but you can only play if you've registered in advance. (The punchline subtitle is "...but Don't Call Us, We'll Call You")

Look, even the losers get free DVDs from the Shokus catalog. That should be reason enough to play. Winners get cash. Not Jeopardy cash. Heck, not even Playmania cash. Still, cash for playing a game from home, and the game really isn't that challenging. Lots and lots of pretty straightforward trivia questions.

If you haven't registered already, here's the link. They start playing in a couple of weeks, and the host is producer Ronnie Greenberg, who I hope will be telling stories between rounds.

Very nice. I've signed up. Do you have any information on the format of the game other than straightforward trivia?

I was in on the run-through with Matt...there's nothing you need to worry about, format- or strategy-wise. Questions, answers. Fun.

Has anyone that signed up heard from them yet? Because I have signed up

Heard from them just a little while ago, and sent a reply saying I'd be home at the appointed hour.

Clay Zambo · « **Reply #6 on:** February 09, 2007, 07:27:45 AM »

...and just had email saying I'll be playing!

I'll try to do y'all proud.

Actually, I just realized something. They're probably going to use material that I wrote for them.

I'll start the bidding at one dollar.

Sorry, y'all. Between "Poker Face" and "1 vs," I guess I just got carried away...

I'll be good.

I don't want to know the material, but I wouldn't mind knowing what the game is...
