March 10

Chico: HA!
Jason: We already saw Paris Hilton do it. And we did see Katie Couric do it...for real. Does anyone remember that...YIPES. Saved people's lives. But still.
Chico: That's one side of broadcast news I hope I never see again.
Gordon: That would be a good zinger - but we have 6 more things that need to be zinged. As usually, we'll put up the scenario, and you come up with the punchline.
Jason: I am ready.
Chico: Let's do it!
Gordon: First one...

American Gladiators comes back on the air in May on NBC

Chico: And champion Evan Dollard returns with a new nickname... Blur. ... okay, that sucked. How about...
Jason: Hulk Hogan is still gainfully employed...WHY, NBC....WHY?
Chico: They wanted Atlasphere to play, but NBC has an issue with people playing with big balls.
Jason: Oh....My.
Gordon: Actually, according to Perez Hilton, apparently, they don't.
Chico: Touche, Mr. Pepper. Next up...

Ben Bailey's Cash Cab rolls out for a new season in a new cab.

Jason: Fortunately for the contestants, it doesn't have that authentic New York Cab smell...yikes!
Chico: The ceiling alone is now 70% more discotheque eurotrashy.
Gordon: No telling if Jason Yeager is trying to use the cab to hitch a ride to obscurity.
Chico: Yeah. He'll be dropped three blocks short of goal, though, because he doesn't know who Christina Christian is.
Jason: I don't know who Christina Christian is.
Chico: Exactly my point.
Gordon: (psst. Idol 1 Finalist)
Jason: (oh yeah...sorry)
Chico: You guys... Next?

Simon Cowell admits to using BoTox

Jason: Not true. He criticizes his wrinkles out of his face.
Chico: He called his last procedure "the worst use of bacteria in America"
Gordon: Paula uses it too, but at least Simon doesn't directly insert it into his brain.
Jason: So that's why she's been so...weird lately?
Chico: Of course, she'll deny it.
Jason: lol
Gordon: Don't forget. It's always the media's fault. Next one?
Chico: Next up..

Dave Price guest hosts Millionaire this week.

Jason: They couldn't call me? And they had to get...HIM? WHAT WERE THEY THINKING? Come on Michael...we are pals.
Chico: Great. Another game show failure he can talk about on The Early Show.
Gordon: And the forecast for this week: Drizzly hosting, along with hailing locusts, but sunshine at the end of the week after he leaves the chair.
Chico: And now here's what it looks like in your neck of the woods. (plays smooth jazz).
Gordon: Next one...oh Chico, you're going to love this.
Jason: Here we go.

Mike Fleiss says that this season of The Bachelor is 'The Most Insane Ever'.

Chico: Someone actually commits to a relationship out of this whole thing.
Jason: Dammit...stole my line.
Chico: Sorry, dude.
Jason: Someone actually stays chaste?
Gordon: Mike Fleiss hooked up with Joe Francis, and now they are doing 'Bachelor Girls Gone Wild!'
Jason: We have seen drunk on the show.
Chico: Oh yeah. And sex. The only thing we haven't seen... drunken sex.
Jason: there you go
Chico: And afterward, they have pancakes. Okay, last one...

ITV is out $152 million thanks to the quiz scandals.

Chico: They plan on recouping their losses by selling off Ant & Dec.
Jason: Chris Tennant is now on the block as well.
Gordon: And now they have plenty of time to count the Yo-Yos - starting with the top of the Board of Directors.
Chico: Win.
Jason: Exactly. And in my opinion --not enough loss. Dumb dumb dumb
Chico: There you go
Gordon: So those are our Zingers - but we want to hear yours.
Chico: Give'em a launching point.
Gordon: Here's the topic. Create a zinger out of it.

Gordon: That's got lots of possibilities.
Chico: We'll print the best ones next week. Meanwhile, we'll print the big finish after this...

(Brought to you by Save the Stoppers... Every day, a red ball is just thrown away like yesterday's garbage. Take one in today. The ball you save may be your own)

Jason: Again, GSN....do your part. Save Lingo!
Gordon: Poor little Stopper. I think the Hamsters may like them though
Jason: This is just so...wrong.
Chico: Very much so.
Gordon: You mean by me saying Save Your Balls?
Chico: You may have to clarify that, G.
Jason: No. I mean GSN canceling Lingo. I am really upset by this.
Chico: as well you should be.
Gordon: I am too. You don't take one of the cash cows and cook them because you're going in a different direction. Meanwhile, GSN is resting their hopes on...Patrick Duffy? (shudders)
Chico: I'm guessing they're going to see the errors of their ways and come crawling back to Lingo... AGAIN.
Jason: they better.
Gordon: Note to GSN. PLEASE re-up with Phil Gurin for the rights to both the internet game and the TV show. Don't screw yourself up like this.
Chico: Meanwhile, we'll finish this one up with the Big Finish. Who's the first one to go on Idol?
Jason: Amanda
Gordon: Amanda
Chico: Do we have another tilde in the making next week?
Jason: You never know. I would like to see it done in the Million Dollar Game.
Gordon: Probably. And maybe if we don't, I'll put it up anyways. I like the ~. Top Chef 4 - you watching?
Jason: Yup. Sorry Chico.
Chico: If I could, I would. But I can't... :-(
Jason: Even on your new HDTV?
Chico: I still don't get Bravo.
Jason: How big your TV?
Chico: 42".
Jason: Very Very nice.
Jason: Great to see the UNC-Duke Game tonight on ESPN HD.
Chico: Oh yeah. I'm heading to a friend's house to see it, though. We're going to play Rock Band afterwards.
Gordon: Is he bringing over some Kentucky Fried Tar Heels?
Jason: Don't let him get to you, Chico?. You both are going into the Tourney :-)
Chico: Screw you, dude. Screw you with an irregularly shaped Dook lacrosse stick.
Jason: OW :-) Next...:P
Chico: Next is an appeal for mail... That's dooksucks at... sorry, wlti@gameshownewsnet.com. Or if you're on the Myspace, go to Myspace.com/wltiongsnn.
Gordon: Actually, I have a piece of Email
Chico: Let's see it.
Gordon: Its from our friend J. Keith Van Stratten. He's bringing the LA version of What's My Line to NYC.
Jason: Whoo-hoo!
Gordon: And of course, since I was on WML - and stumped the panel, of course, I'm going to announce it.
Chico: Nice

Jason: If you are in the New York City area. Check this out. This is a fantastic show.
Chico: Yeah, a real throwback to the era of live television. Check it out, you're going to love it.
Gordon: It's a great show with a lot of fun. And I'm hoping that they continue the tradition of improv after the show.
Chico: And I hope it's east-coast style. West coast is more "yada yada yada sex"
Jason: Actually it's going 6 weeks so far. March 24-April 28
Chico: Sounds killer.
Jason: Go see it. This is a huge PUSH. Trust us. You won't be disappointed.
Gordon: Its a ton of fun
Chico: Oh yeah.
Gordon: So that's it for this show. Special thanks to Jason Block for being with us today
Chico: Come back next week for more. Until then, for Gordon and everyone at GSNN, I'm Chico saying game over... and spread the love.
Jason: Thank you.
