"1 vs. 100" casting notice

[itiparanoid13]

For some reason, NBC is being really secretive about this.  I've talked to NBC press agents, and they cannot say a thing.  I'm constantly trying, though.  They did this for DoND too, I think.  If it's DeCarlo, I can ask Mark Walberg, since I think DeCarlo and Walberg have a production company together.

At the audition I went to, they introduced us to the guy who is supposed to be the host.  I don't remember his name, but he has blond curly hair and appears to be in his early 30s or so.  He has a very good personality, and he was the host for the first trial game that we played.  I suppose we will find out on Saturday for sure who the host will be, since it will be a for real taping.  I don't know whether they will want us to keep that info secret or not, but they didn't mention anything about secrecy when they introduced the host before.  AFAIK, he's a relatively unknown, but I think he did a very good job.  Then again, they might have someone different on Saturday.

I'm joining the mob! Sunday 8/13, 12:15 taping.

A host has been named for 1 vs. 100. Personally, I could see him being a decent fit....... but you be the judge.

So could I -- as long as he does a halftime show during the game to throw in Aristocrat jokes.

That ruls. I'm so there, just to see the illest mother****er in a cardigan sweater host a game show.

I'm waiting for folks to cry foul that he has no business hosting a game show, because of his "Full House" and "AFHV" tenures...even though he did vulgar stand-up way before either show.

I dunno. Howie Mandel did St. Elsewhere. John O'Hurley did Seinfeld. Anyone who is gonna criticize him for AFHV should note who the current host is. Louie Anderson did....oh, wait.

I don't think it's going to succeed for other reasons, but I'm sure willing to see if Saget can make it entertaining.

/can I get a video of this? I'd like to send it to the cast of Full House.

I have to admit I was a little upset when "Full House" replaced TTTT on NBC, but all is forgiven.  I think he'll do a good job.

I was more surprised, considering "Full House" was an ABC show. TTTT had long stopped airing in my area on the two NBC stations I had, and neither one of them decided to carry the "Full House" reruns, so no big loss.

If Bob Saget is as annoying on this show as he was on AFHV, I'll be changing the channel real quick.

I have high hopes to that end, since he's spent an awful lot of his post-AFHV career trying to shed the goody-goody image (see the video I linked) that ABC foisted upon him. When would you see Danny Tanner comparing his genitalia to that of a pack animal?

Few things from the road (business in L.A.) :

1. I got the call for the 'mob' contestant pool too...won't be going, since they won't be paying airfare...if the show does well, after i watch it, i may reconsider....

2. Bob Saget? hmmmm....like lemon, I think he's  hysterically funny when he's not playing 'who's your daddy' with the olsen twins..... but is this show going to give him leeway to work without a script? this show (and i'm basing this only on the dutch vers, and the runthroughs) isn't like Deal, and is way more serious.... i dunno...

3. Here's my bigger problem with Saget. It's becoming apparent that the production companies only want actors for hosts, and no one else....Mandel started an ugly trend...O Hurley, Ricki Lake, Saget....who's next for Joker/CLock? and when barker hangs it up, will we be treated to brad garrett playing plinko?

Look on the bright side.  He's not the worst TV host to ever come from the set of Full House.  [bad Bullwinkle]HEY ROCKY!!![/bB]

He's actually a pretty funny stand-up comedian ... it was the writers on AFHV that made him look so bad ...
