Bob Goen, who once hosted such game shows as Perfect Match (1986), daytime WOF (1989-91) and Hollywood Game (summer 1992) before becoming co-host of ET, is leaving the tabloid show after a decade for what his spokesman calls a development deal that could include Bob returning to game shows.

Bob is going to host the revival of Blackout which will air on Fox as a lead into American Idol this fall season.

IIRC, Bob said back when he first started in television that his goal was to host game shows. Maybe Marianne is starting to rub off on him...... (figuratively ;))

I thought he was teriffic on "Wheel of Fortune." If he does come back to game shows, I'd definitely welcome him back.

 WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!

I knew Pyramid80's statement wasn't true because if Fox wants something to be a hit, they debut it after American Idol rather than before it.  (The Swan, anybody?)

ObGameShow: AFAIK, Fremantle hasn't pitched anything for syndication, game show or otherwise, since TTTT2k.  Of course, ever since AI caught fire, they came to realize that network prime time is where the big money is.

ObBlackout: IMO, Blackout wasn't that bad, but it needs a little tweaking if it ever does come back.

 You forgot about Card Sharks 3 years ago.  Don't worry, all of us forgot about it.

That pilot taping was memorable to me as the first time I met Randy Amasia, and the first time I worked with Mandel Ilagan. Plus the Clip Chips were delicious   ;-)

Bob Goen is a cool guy. We share a mentor as he was brought into national television by veteran producer Ray Horl (NameThatTune, FaceTheMusic, etc.) who saw Bob doing local sports in Palm Springs and liked what he saw.   ;-)

They could bring back Mindreaders. It is a Fremantle property, you know.

I can see some programming executive in his office:

Of course there's Blackout ...

But then there's Mindreaders ...

Blackout ...

The article says that Goen's development deal is with Paramount, same company he's at now with ET. Hey, wait a second... last time Paramount went anywhere near a game show was Wipeout. CBS/Viacom's division best known for game shows is King World, afterall.

Should be interesting.

But, Chris, hang on a minute!  "Mindreaders" has already revived, as "The New Card Sharks" on CBS.  So, now it's time for "Blackout" to shine again.  For 13 weeks.

 Or maybe Fremangle will consider him for TPIR when the time comes..... He's roughly the age Barker was when he began hosting it.
