It looks like "Game Show In My Head" is doomed from the start. Sorry, Joe Rogan.

No, it was quoted by CBS "...game show from Ashton Kutcher..." I smell "You're in the Pictue" smell. Terrible...

ISTR some of the Barker primetime shows being screened first-run on Saturday evenings, and they did well. Probably the Barker Effect.

Sounds like a big money version of that stupid Nickelodeon show with annoying-as-hell Phil Moore hosting.

Sounds like a ripoff of "Howie Do It."

With Hat Trick down as a producer, "Game Show in My Head" sounds like an Americanization of a British format. How did it do over there?

And it has to be the first first-run show on CBS Saturday in years that isn't "48 Hours Mystery."

Which may say alot for CBS's faith for the show -- the reason why the other networks have reruns, movies, sports or (in CW and MNTV's case) nothing is that very few people watch TV on Saturday night these days. The only shows that seem to do well on Saturday nights is Cops and America's Most Wanted on Fox, and the aforementioned 48 Hours Mystery. Considering where "Game Show in my Head" is placed, it won't last very long. Yes, TPIR succeeded as it was already a familiar show with a familiar host with little competition, but Game Show in My Head is an all-new show with a little-known host and a shaky premise.

Actually, it could only help the show's prospects if Joe Rogan was little known. It doesn't have a prayer if people remember him.

Fear Factor, right? Or was that Bill O'Reilly?

Someone hasn't watched Fear Factor or UFC in the last 10 years, have they?

Joe Rogan is at his comedic best when he's presenting his argument as to why the moon landings were faked.

/"Mike Goldberg is a no-talent hack!" <CLANG!> "Charge!"

Gosh, Joe Rogan is just an onion waiting for the layers to be peeled, isn't he? A stinking rotted onion, of course.

And just to confirm, Goldberg's hockey play-by-play wouldn't contradict your correctly answered blooper.

(If you hadn't covered it already, I was going to mention how funny Rogan's "debate" on Penn Radio was. If the show is available in mp3 format, I would suggest looking it up.)
