Title: Take The Cake (BET game show)
Post by: GameShowGuru on July 28, 2009, 09:58:38 PM

I've heard of this show but never seen an episode.  It's co-hosted by Toccara Jones and Joe Clair and has the viewing audience as its contestants.  From what I understand, it's essentially The Price is Right, or rather, The Celebrity Is Right.

I heard it was a weak show, but again, I haven't seen the show because I don't have cable.  Is my assessment of the show correct?

It was a call-in show similar to Midnight Money Madness (produced by Endemol who also produced TTC) or PlayMania, primarily directed at the African-American audience. More info is available at Wikipedia (http://\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Take_the_Cake\"). There wasn't anything particularly bad about it, but as a Caucasian dude with limited knowledge of hip-hop, there wasn't much to catch my attention with.
