That everything's so intentionally cheesy and over the top. Part of the fun is also watching the people get put through strange situations.
It's nothing groundbreaking at all, but something like a last bit of fun for Wink to have before retiring I guess.[/quote]
If it were simply him doing schtick for commercials (a la the ones he did for Mountain Dew, DiGiorno, or Orbitz), it would be one thing. This show, to me, could've been done with any Hollywood actor who would play the same role on a fictional sitcom game show, and Wink could've escaped the cheesy stereotype of a game show host that he's played for the last 15 or 20 years.
