I think Mr. Zambo was being sarcastic there, but that's me.[/quote]
Well, I say that because admittedly I thought the same thing when I first saw the headline.

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.

Could have been Joey Fatone. He's getting a good number of game show gigs lately.

What do you have against 1? Did 1 steal your lunch money or someth....oh wait.

In seriousness, the Fat One has the VO work for Family Feud, is apparently also part of the TPiR Live rotation, and is coming up to Foxwoods later this month to host the LMAD Stage Show.

/No is the saddest experience

I personally would've gone for the monetary values used in the Australian version, which would be modified to fit the top prize of $50,000.
That means that the first 3 questions would be for $50, the next two would be for $100, then $150 for the next question then rising $50 for each question until it reaches $500.

In the words of Chad Eightfive, child, please.

I don't think that argument works when the actual tree offers $0 for the same hypothetical amount.

Ah. That I did not see. I guess the lower amounts are for the sake of a flameout, then.

If the mob is pre-taped, can't the producers "control" how far a "one" can get?

The problem with doing a money ladder and a top prize of $50,000 is that the game is tedious until you get to some good money. The contestant can't quit until $1,000 has built up anyway, and who would be on a game show to win $750? If they came to me, and said that they absolutely are going with the ladder payout thing, I would have far fewer levels; maybe as few as three or four, and start the money off much higher; perhaps fifty out for $5,000 and go from there. If the money is too small, there's no excitement, because the contestant is risking Not Much to win A Skosh More Than Not Much.

Wrong. The rest of the forum splits your winnings.
