There are three rounds, "Clarity," "Speed" and "Tongue Twister." Overall winner goes on to compete against a pre-taped professional announcer. If the contestant delivers the lines faster than the professional without stumbling, the contestant wins the $1,000 prize.

Hosted by Donald Trump and Ben Stein, no less. Excuse me while I roll over and go back to sleep while watching this.

I'm guessing there was a certain amount of humor in this idea. I'm HOPING there was, anyhow.
And if you casted anyone but John Moschita in the host's role, you just weren't thinking!

And after grading 90 essay exams over the past three days, I don't
want to think! Anyways, we'll have Moschita host, Ben Stein to be the professional (since this idea bears a striking resemblance to the bonus round of his show), and The Donald available to get rid of anyone who can't read better than Stein.
But, I'm still not going to watch this borefest. I'll just use it to cure insomnia.
