"The Question Jury" going to NATPE

[colonial]

An American version of "The Question Jury", a British quizzer that's aired two series on Channel Four since 2016, is being brought to NATPE for consideration for the 2018-19 season.

Info on the UK version is found here. It's essentially what happens if you turned "12 Angry Men" into a quizzer ...

I've seen a handful of UK episodes. It's definitely presented as a "young persons" game, with plenty of reality-style elements (think "Big Brother" in a jury room). Not something I'd watch regularly, but fair and worth a recording.

Nothing yet on if any other new game shows will be brought to NATPE (not sure how "iWitness" did over the summer to warrant a full-season run), but the article mentions the potential of a lot of turnover in the syndie field for next year. Robert Irvine's talk show has already been canned, the jury's still out on Harry Connick Jr. and, oddly enough, Steve Harvey's talkers, and Jerry Springer may be contemplating retirement. (Also, the article notes that if the Sinclair-Tribune deal goes through, Sinclair may distance itself from conflict talkers like Springer and Povich).

...and Jerry Springer may be contemplating retirement.

Moreso contemplating running for Ohio governorship.  If that happens, it would be nearly impossible for him to appear on TV without "equal time" for his competitors.  Not sure how reruns figure into that equal time rule, though.

He's already ruled it out.

That's adorable that you think equal time is still a thing, considering who the Cheeto-in-Chief is.

Am I the only one who gets peeved when said Cheeto is referred to as a game show host. "The Apprentice" is not a game show and to call Cheeto a game show host is an affront to all, even Barker or Woolery.

I didn't see him referred to as a game show host here, but I'm gonna go with yes.

Obviously, The Apprentice is not a game show, but I just shrug when I see people refer to it as one. It's not the first or last show to be mislabeled as a game.

Besides, have you seen Chuck Woolery's tweets in the last five years?

It's a shame he went from two-and-two to fourteen and eighty-eight.
