GSN doing new 1 vs 100...

[JasonA1]

Craig's List would suggest they've settled on $50,000.

Well, here's how I'd work the format with a $50K jackpot:

Each Mob member knocked out is worth $250. There are three helps, but each one costs a set amount of money (Ask the Mob and Poll the Mob each cost $2500, while a "Switch the Question" costs $5K), which then goes into the Mob's "bank" to split at the end of the game.

If a contestant wants to walk, they give up half of their bank to the Mob. If they answer incorrectly, the Mob gets the 80/20 split of the contestant's bank.

If the contestant knocks out all 100 members of the Mob, their bank is doubled.

We have a host for 1 vs 100.....or should we rename it "Dancing With the Mob"?

Seems like it should be renamed "LOL WUT"...

[weaklink75]

I'll withhold judgement until we see an episode actually air- I was skeptical when Alfonso Ribero was picked for Catch 21, but he hasn't been too bad..

She'll continue to work on ABC's "Dancing With Stars" on Monday and Tuesday and then tape the game show on the other three weekdays. It's an "incredibly intense" schedule

Those five-day work weeks really take it out of you...

Bob Stewart would have produced ten half-hour episodes of this in one day.

But in the Endemol School of Game Show Production, one half-hour episode actually takes ten hours to tape...

Man, I had such high hopes it was gonna be Bergeron...

[clemon79]

I hope we're at the point where GSN can't afford Bergeron.

I think Mr. Zambo was being sarcastic there, but that's me.

Well, I say that because admittedly I thought the same thing when I first saw the headline.

[Jimmy Owen]

Why do all the new-generation hosts have to say "I never thought of myself as a game-show host."  ?

The game show host stereotypes of days past, perpetrated by this guy on the sponge-like minds of toddlers.

I wouldn't say so much that I was being sarcastic as I hadn't thought the whole thing through--and if you say "DTWS" to me regarding a new game show, I *hope* you mean Bergeron.  Although I just checked with my producers, and "Marie Osmond" would also have been an acceptable answer.
