Let's Make A Deal to Let You Decide
« on: January 14, 2013, 10:12:05 PM »

On January 25th, Let\'s Make a Deal will allow people to tweet and vote on the happenings for a taping that day. The resulting episode will air the following Wednesday.

Sounds like a fun idea to try out. A little gimmicky? Maybe, but LMAD seems like the type of show that can pull it off.


Me: Of all of the game shows you've hosted besides Jeopardy!, like High Rollers or Classic Concentration, which is your favorite?
Alex Trebek: I'd have to say To Tell The Truth, because it was the first time in my career that I got to sit down while I was hosting.

I\'d like it better if it was being aired live, too, but I doubt that\'ll ever happen in the US.

This seems to be along the same lines as Conan\'s #OccupyConan project.

Hawaii Five-O did this last night -- voting on the episode\'s ending.


 


Not sure if the ending varied by time zone, since they said it was to be determined LIVE.

I\'m guessing the only \"logistical\" reason is because it takes so damn long to tape it.


 


If so, that\'s not a good enough reason to me.

And exactly what are you going to do about it?

If you didn’t create it, it isn’t your content.

Something tells me that\'s far from the top of the list. Going live-to-air is not just a matter of saying so and hitting a button.

If they want to go live to air, they could always have Jamie Kennedy guest host.

Is forcing every affiliate to uproot its schedule so you can do this a good enough reason?

Some would get it live, others would get it delayed by a few hours. But still this isn\'t like Live with Kelly or shows that are used to this setup.
