Am I wrong, or is this the Pyramid front game but with the monitor on the teammate's forehead instead of in the desk?

Looks like it; you flip your phone downward to switch answers. I've played it before, but didn't know that's the name.

I was going to dismiss it as another iteration of Hedbanz, but it sounds like there might be a few differences. That said, wake me when we get to Celebrity Hanabi Showdown.

I apologize for taking the thread further away, but it does connect to the joke I made earlier: is Emile Autouri still alive?

Its full name, if I remember correctly, was "Heads Up Charades".

It's a humongous pain in the ass to play on a tablet. :)

Definitely will look to try out if this comes around for auditions.

I believe there is a Charades card pack or variant, but the original game is just Heads Up.
Fact To Make You Feel Old: Just about every contestant who appears in a Price is Right Teen Week episode from here on out has only known a world where Drew Carey has been the host.

Bringing this topic back from the grave to update that "Heads Up" won't air on HLN after all ...

http://variety.com/2016/tv/news/hln-ellen-degeneres-heads-up-1201724153/

HLN is going through yet another reboot, said to be more "news-centric" and "more partnered" with the CNN mothership, so "Heads Up" is getting the boot.

Sixty-five episodes have already been produced, and Telepictures is said to be shopping the show again for cable or syndication.

The Trainwreck-O-Comments on that Variety.com article is spectacular.



That is truly award-winning.

At least it's in English, and not Variety-speak.

If I was the producer of this shelved show, I'd try selling it to a network like GSN.

Bob Boden is.  I am sure he would use his connections to do so.
