Hmmm?

(I mean nothing salacious, I just wonder what the game is.  And who's involved.)

Looks like the sickest, most perverted version of NG imaginable.

As opposed to the original NG which was the manifestation of culture and sophistication?  Give me a break.

 Couldn't be any worse than Burt Luddin's Crap Buffet, or could it?.....

Once again, I'm voluntarily locking myself in the TTD90 room. This thread could get very nasty, very quick.

 Good plan.  Any second now I'm going to be sorry I asked.

  • Just leave the set; that’d be terrific.

 While I'm not really in favor of gay marriage [though I do say those who are gay have that right], there is clearly a market in today's television world for programming such as this.  Offensive to many?  Yes.  But people will watch anything....just look at "Fear Factor".

 Am I the only person on this board that likes Fear Factor? Oh well. It's a great show, I think, with the exception of the middle stunt.

They could not have found a more perfect host than Rogan - I cannot think of a single other game show that he could do, but this one he does perfectly.

 1. Apparently.

2. That's a little bit like saying William Hung is a great singer, except for his lack of talent.

3. Boy, that's damning with faint praise. "Yes, Mr. Rogan, we've received your aptitude test, and your best chance for success is to get a job describing people eating horse rectums."
This isn't a plug, but you can ask me about my book.

 Ok fine, I can live with that.

Lol that's not *quite* what I meant - more like saying that Sgt. Peppers is a great album except for Within You Without You: it's still good overall, there's just a part I skip.

Well, only in a game show sense - I'm sure he could have plenty of other jobs (he's not a bad standup), but that's about the only gs I could see him doing.

Actually, I understand what Tommy meant, and even agree with him.  The "horse rectum" round is the one that gets all the attention whenever anyone talks about the show, but it is only one round out of three.  The stunt games are usually very engaging.  As we've called it before, "Beat the Clock on Steroids".  Many's the time I've watched the first and third rounds, and found something better to do in the middle.
This has been another installment of Matt Ottinger's Masters of the Obvious.
Stay tuned for all the obsessive-compulsive fun of Words Have Meanings.

Oddly enough, my family usually finds itself eating dinner as something to do in the 2nd stunt slot.

 Only if they ever had forced Rogan to be a contestant doing the sickest stunts yet, then MAYBE I would watch an episode.   Otherwise, Raymond Rules!

 Wait...Fear Factor doesn't air against Raymond...however, I *do* like Still Standing*, which airs during the second half of FF.

*Except when one of my co-workers has me sit thru FF with her...the TV is hers at that point. :-)
