Let us not rule out the possibility that this is just a big joke and no such show exists.  Clearly it's not going to premiere in November, plus the picture sure doesn't indicate any sort of TV presence.  It's just a pile.  Guy just might be attempting humor.

as I said a couple hours ago.  

C'mon, a blog post from well over a month ago, from a guy with no game show experience, with no mention from ANYONE in the legit game show world elsewhere.  How gullible is everyone?

Six months ago, if a pro wrestler wrote on his blog that he was hosting a game show where people's prized possesions were going to be tossed off a skyscraper, I wouldn't have believed it.  But it happened.

Confirmed from GSN's PR Department:

This is crap. No such show is under development.

/More on today's "Buzz" show at 3:30 EDT!
//Not really. There's nothing more on this topic to talk about.

Proof positive that subtle sarcasm is just not funny on the internets.

I'm impressed that GSN's PR department responded to a media inquiry within two hours.

Isn't that what you do anyway once you throw said TV out the window?

I'm late to the punch here, but if I had read that last night, there's a chance I might've fallen for it, but it had all the makings of a nice little tongue-in-cheek joke. I can see how it fooled a few.

That being said, some of you really need to take a step back from the ledge and stop taking all things game shows so seriously. Can we say "overreacting"?

But-but-but RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION WHAAAARGARBL!!!!!!

Seriously, the first clue for y'all should have been:
Quote
I’m one of two hosts on the show
followed by
Quote
and there are supposed to be no photographs on set, but seriously, how ridiculous is this show? I mean how low can you go?
PROTIP: Hosts (hell, any on-air talent) do not badmouth their shows before they even air (never mind admitting to violating on-"set" rules) in public forums if they ever want to work again.

/I see by the trackback that it caught Buzzerblog hook, line, and sinker, though

Um, do we need a refresher of some of GSN's past endeavors?

Yeah, nuff said.

I was just taken aback that GSN might be interested in doing original game shows again.   I knew it would be a hoax.

I'll admit that I fell for this the other day myself.  But now that I think of it, this is something even the notorious Michael Fleming and Jake Tauber wouldn't have given the green light to.
