Episode 16.7
October 22
Chico: Today on the big show, in a shocker to
TPIR fans everywhere.. Drew Carey actually does well for himself.
Jason: Who would have thunk it?
Gordon: And in another shocker, the strong on Survivor are now the marked.
Jason: I'm shocked and stunned.
Gordon: And in another shocker, Playmania has been canned...ok, not such a
shock.
Don: The way it's going, I don't mind that.
Jason: Not at all...especially with the news out of England this week.
Chico: I'm shocked. No really. Look at the shock on my face.
Jason: Thats your happy face.
Chico: It's also my sad face, my angry face, and my surprised face.
Jason: Pretty much.
Chico: From Somewhere in America, the Shocktober edition of We Love to Interrupt
... is... ON!
Jason: Whoo-hoo!
Gordon: Gordon and Chico here. Also here, from Brooklyn, Mr. Jason Block.
Jason: BOO!
Gordon: AAAH!
Jason: Thank you. Sorry I missed the b-day show. Any cake left over?
Gordon: Fried cake.
Jason: sweet.
Chico: That's the point.
Jason: You ain't kidding.
Chico: Also here, from Ontario, Don Harpwood.
Gordon: How do they celebrate Halloween in Canada?
Don: Pretty much the same way it's celebrated in the U.S., I believe.
Jason: I was in Spain for Halloween last year.
Chico: Gotcha. Okay, we've got a lot to cover and not a lot of time.
Jason: Lets get to do it.
Chico: We're starting with what was pretty much the dominating news this week...
October 15, 2007, a day when game show history is made... again.
Jason: Drew Carey takes the mic and hits a solid double for me.
Chico: And the general consensus is... HE GETS IT.
Don: Yep.
Chico: He's not Bob Barker. He doesn't pretend that he is Bob Barker. He doesn't
NEED to be Bob Barker.
Jason: That's right. He's Drew Carey. There were some nice references to Bob in
the past, which I liked.
Chico: My favorite was on Monday's show.
Jason: "Ezekiel" Barker, for example. For Barker's Bargain Bar. Loved that.
Chico: "This is Barker's Bargain Bar, named for the original founder of the
Price is Right... Ezekiel Barker."
Jason: He was a little nervous, but later shows in the week showed a bit more
confidence in the games. But he does need to learn the games and the strategy.
Chico: Wonder what old Zeke's doing now. Anyways. Yeah, he's definitely aware
that he has big shoes to fill, but he's getting around in them nicely by week's
end. And hey, we got two perfect shows out of it.
Don: From what I read, they're airing shows out of order.
Chico: CBS may have jiggered the play order of the shows. I say "And your point
is..."
Gordon: I am pleasantly surprised with what Drew is doing. What I'm the most
impressed about is that instead of trying to take over the show, he's letting
the contestants shine more than what Barker did.
Jason: I am too.
Chico: Well, Drew's basically making good on a campaign promise. That the
contestants and the game were going to be the stars.
Jason: I also LOVE the new set
Chico: Oh yeah. Lovely. Bente Christensen... Amazing stuff.
Don: Yeah, it looks great.
Gordon: He is living up to it, complete with Hans on Cliffhangers getting a new
name - Mr. Yodel man.
Jason: Mr. Yodel man was great. And "Oh mighty Sound effects Person" was great
in One Away. Nice touches.
Chico: He's putting his own little spin on it and it works.
Jason: And the music is improved too.
Chico: Of course there are one or two little things that he still needs to get
the hang of, like being way too rushed to start.
Jason: He is too fast at times.
Chico: But he'll catch on. It's not a big deal.
Don: Yeah, he was moving quite fast near the end of Monday's show, but I'd
partly attribute that to how long It's In The Bag took.
Jason: it really isn't. By year's end, he might be the lock for Best New Host.
Chico: As for showing two perfect shows.. I think CBS is leading its best foot
forward. Right?
Jason: Yes.
Don: Yep.
Gordon: There are 2 major issues I have with Drew. The first one is the strategy
of the game. For One Away, if the first 2 numbers of the car were the only ones
that stayed the same, then it's a no brainer that if the first 2 numbers are
right, then the contestant has won the car.
Jason: Maybe he forgot the rules...or was too nervous. I will cut him a little
slack there.
Chico: Agreed. It's his first week. Go easy =p And the second?
Gordon: He needs to watch himself on the adlib. When one of the overbid buzzers
happened, he said 'Nazi Submarine, Everybody Down!' As a Jew, I don't appreciate
that.
Chico: Ah. Well, there are worse things he could've said, but yeah, I see where
you're getting at.
Jason: I have to side with Gordon on this one. Not the best ad lib he could have
used. He has been a bit R rated in between breaks. So I have heard.
Chico: But is it anything that takes away from his performance?
Gordon: Not his performance per se, but that could results in people not
watching the show if they feel alienated by Drew.
Jason: No. He just has to watch himself. They edited a big bunch of stuff that
he said on the first episode of Power of 10 about the legalization of drugs. He
was very anti-drug laws.
Chico: Ah. I didn't know that.
Jason: Gordon, we were there on that one, correct?
Chico: Course, I wasn't there with you guys watching =p
Gordon: This is the same issue people had with Rosie O'Donnell being the host of
TPIR. You don't want politics mixing in with your game show.
Chico: Well, the good news is that we haven't had that problem yet.
Jason: And lets hope the editors at CBS watch as well.
Chico: Hopefully we won't have to deal with such things if the first week of
shows is any indicator
Gordon: Yes. They could have - and should have edited that out
Chico: So... Drew Carey. New host. Approve or disapprove?
Jason: Approve. Solid B with room for improvement.
Gordon: I agree. B, and I think he will improve.
Don: Approve. I also think he'll improve. B.
Chico: Ditto, ditto, ditto.
Jason: I mean, we are comparing someone with 35 years of experience to someone
with one week. Give the guy a break.
Chico: I know. Surreal, isn't it? So Drew Carey looks like he'll fit just fine
in the game show world... will we be so accepting of the finalists of Celebrity
Rap Superstar?
Jason: Uh no.
Gordon: We had the best rapper there in the form of Shar Jackson, and then we
had Playboy Bunny Kendra Wilkinson who had the best...assets.
Jason: Don't you mean the best hits? :-)
Chico: Apparently that ill-spent youth with Kevin Federline wasn't wasted,
because Shar ended up winning the whole thing.
Gordon: Now in your mind, is this the first celebrity competition that actually
worked?
Jason: Yes.
Chico: Strangely enough.
Don: I didn't watch it, but it sounds like it did.
Chico: I mean, if you don't count Dancing with the Stars, which was celeb
pro-am. Right?
Gordon: Right. I think like DWTS, the people remaining on Celebrity Rap Star
actually took it seriously.
Chico: And it shows. We didn't have people just greenhorning. They actually
worked hard on their game.
Jason: Yes it did show.
Gordon: They were both improved, but Shar put emotion into her rap while Kendra
was more robotic and soulless in her presentation.
Chico: Well, that's what happens when your best asset is affixed to your chest
for about $200K
Jason: Meowch
Don: lol
Gordon: But it moves nice and fluidly.
Chico: Nice to know you were paying attention to details :-)
Gordon: Very hard not to pay attention to THAT detail
Jason: When they are front and center like that, you cant NOT but pay attention.
LOL
Chico: Congrats to Shar Jackson on her win, and to Kendra Wilkinson... thank..
you.
Jason: (applause)...and yes, we are pigs! Oink.
Gordon: And we thank the Million Dollar mission...for being over.
Chico: Woo.
Jason: Did someone win?
Chico: No.
Don: Nope.
Jason: (THUD)
Chico: The mission failed.
Jason: Good. Let someone win fair and square. But Friday's nights show was a
good one. I liked that stunt personally.
Chico: Going pink for breast cancer? Yeah, noble cause if I do say so myself.
Gordon: Do tell. I was too busy having my brain being assaulted by screaming
cats to watch DOND.
Chico: Okay. Story time!
Jason: Ok, daddy...tell us a story. (sits down Indian Style)
Chico: Ashley Mundy, a cancer survivor, is playing with the support of Alec
Baldwin and Sharon Osbourne on Friday night.
Jason: don't forget Elizabeth Edwards.
Jason: Also a cancer survivor
Chico: Oh yeah, can't forget her. She fights the fight to this day. But back to
Ashley, who, before round 6, has only the $200,000 on the board remaining. That
and $25, $50, $400, $750, and $10,000.
Chico: Huge jump between first and second.
Jason: No kidding.
Chico: The offer: $24,000.
Jason: She says...no deal I bet.
Chico: Risking that for about ten times that. She plays on. Turns out to be a
good move. Now she faces a deal of $29,000.
Jason: What's left?
Chico: 25, 400, 750, 10K, 200K.
Jason: Got it. She says....?
Chico: Again, putting it at risk for 10 times that. She says no deal.
Jason: Still a good move?
Chico: ... Yeah. $10,000 gets zapped, but the 200K is still in play.
Jason: Deal is now..
Chico: She ends up dealing with $42,000.
Jason: Not a bad payday.
Don: A nice total.
Gordon: Not bad at all.
Jason: What was in her case?
Chico: And a good deal as well. She was holding $25.
Jason: Great deal!
Chico: For all intents and purposes, that was a good day's work.
Don: Yep!
Chico: And for a greater purpose than ratings.
Gordon: True., but if you're looking for the purpose of ratings, then
Playmania's Purpose...is over.
Chico: Yep. We've got confirmation of what was once considered to be "a rumor
gone awry". After 19 months on the air, the final bell will toll for Playmania
on Halloween night. You know, the problems that led to the show's downfall read
off like a laundry list of what not to do on a game show. May I?
Don: Go for it.
Jason: Sure.
Chico: Okay... Can I get a Big Board, please.
Playmania: The Final Countdown
- Quiz scandals
- Lack of entertainment
- Takes Money to Give Away Money
- Host? What Host?
|
Chico: The subject: Playmania: The Final
Countdown...
Gordon: Its the finaaaal cooountdooooooown
Jason: (starts playing the synth with big hair)
Chico: Thank you.
Jason: So what went wrong with the GSN cash cow?
Chico: Okay, starting with the first reason.. one of the biggest reasons of all,
at least where I'm sitting... The quiz scandals in Europe. Playmania was
underwritten by Optimistic Entertainment of London.
Jason: They were caught up in this whole mess, weren't they?
Chico: Basically.
Jason: And ITV was fined $37M US for their role in this too.
Chico: And even if they weren't, a lot of companies over there were. So much
that ITV is out... yeah, what Jason said.
Jason: didn't mean to steal your thunder there. This was, and has been a huge
story for me for the last year almost.
Gordon: Huge story. Huge mess. But that's not the main problem.
Jason: You don't think so?
Chico: Sure is a big problem. But what is the main problem?
Gordon: Well it's a main problem. Another main problem is that the show is no
longer the same entertainment we were graced with at the premiere of the show.
Jason: that's true. 3 games in 2 hours...bad bad move.
Chico: Yeah, blame arbitration for that. Right, J?
Jason: No, you blame the fact that the European scandals cut the cash cow off at
the udders.
Chico: You brought that to our attention a while back, right?
Jason: I did. If you remember, the BBC was caught faking winners....even on a
kids show. And then ITV was caught.
Chico: And because some people got a bit greedy, it soured consumer confidence,
cutting the cash cow off at the... yeah.
Jason: A couple of weeks ago in Brainvision, quiz revenues were down approx 40%,
because of this?
Chico: Yep. So consumer confidence (or absence thereof) was another factor.
Anything else?
Gordon: Absolutely. Another factor... the host, or lack of.
Chico: Yeah. Less Shandi. More ... umm... everyone else?
Jason: Once Mel Peachy left, and Shandi went dancing. More Jessica York... and
Jeff Thisted.
Chico: And Angelle Tymon. The two rooks and Jessica York were pretty much thrown
to the wolves.
Gordon: And the wolves ate them all up.
Jason: with a nice béchamel sauce to boot.
Chico: Nothing against them, but they don't have the chops to handle a live game
show.
Jason: They don't. And they were going well with 100 winners as well. But once
the scandals hit, Playmania was done. We kind of saw this coming.
Chico: Yeah.
Jason: And when you play 3 games an hour.
Chico: At least we can remember that month or two when Playmania was actually
worth watching.
Jason: People get bored easily.
Gordon: Crosswords or Word Slam, anyone?
Chico: AAAAAAAAHHHHH!
Jason: NOOOOOOOOO! PLEASE NO!
Don: ACK!
Jason: FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING HUMAN. NO
Chico: (runs into wall) ... I'm okay.
Jason: That's good.
Gordon: The wall isn't ok. Poor wall.
Chico: So Playmania... done. Which leaves us with only Joe Clair and Toccara
"can't blame editing for this one" Jones.
Don: Take the Cake is still on the air, eh?
Jason: Yeah. I saw it. Yuck
Chico: Heaven send me a quiz show that doesn't totally reek.
Gordon: How many weeks is it on the air for?
Chico: Let's see. Turning on my magic interbox here... Okay, it only said it
started in July. But another interesting thing worth noting. Starting today, the
show moves to Midnight.
Gordon: Which means that either A. It's going prime time or B. it's going away.
Jason: Right.
Chico: Neither of which we know anything about.
Gordon: Though I would think that if it went past 8 weeks - which it did, that
they are doing it for Prime time on the West Coast
Jason: which is more viewers and more money. Same deal...PROFIT.
Chico: And this show was on for four months, so it supports the prime-time
theory. So Playmania is gone... Take the Cake may be headed for the big time.
What about ... bands?
Jason: Missed this one.
Don: Ditto.
Chico: You didn't miss much. The Next Great American Band was simply put...
American Idol... for bands. To its credit, we did see some perfectly legit bands
come out of it... I can name... two or three. 1) Sixwire. 2) The Clark Brothers.
3) Denver and the Mile High Orchestra. Three good bands... out of 60.
Don: Yipes.
Jason: Oh boy. Not good. Is this another failed attempt to bridge the AI gap?
Gordon: Not just that - but over half of the bands that made the Top 12...were
bands we didn't see.
Chico: ... yep.
Don: Wow.
Jason: Boy that's...dumb.
Gordon: So we're giving those bands an advantage over the other ones. Smooth
move, guys. And oh look its the nice woman in the middle and the cranky British
judge at the end. Sound familiar?
Don: And yeah, that sounds familiar.
Jason: (Runs into wall) ORIGINALITY! I WANT ORIGINALITY!!!! Thats better.
Wall: Ow!
Gordon: STOP HURTING THE WALL!
Jasno: Sorry.
Chico: And the band that we saw TWICE... didn't even make it.
Don: They showed a band twice?
Chico: Ian "Dicko" Dickson gave a band a second shot.
Don: Ah.
Chico: And the host of said show? The same guy who's hosting Idol and 5th Grader
in New Zealand.
Gordon: It's Idol forms a band. And to be blunt, its very very annoying.
Chico: Trying to take the title of "America's Favorite Kiwi" from Phil Keoghan.
The nerve. =p
Jason: lol. everyone knows America's favorite kiwi is either Peter Jackson or
Lucy Lawless.
Chico: Lucy Lawless had it until Celebrity Duets... which was.. OH.. this time
last year ago! Bridging the AI gap again.
Don: Kinda makes me wonder what they'll try next year.
Jason: Let's See....American Juniors, On the Lot, Nashville, and this. They are
batting a big fat zero.
Chico: ... Yep.
Gordon: There's a reason why this is on Fridays, I'm afraid.
Jason: And celeb duets for Good Measure. Can you say Burnoff...I knew you could.
Chico: Were it not for the sheer level of experience that we have in The Next
Great American Band, I'd give this one a solid F.. As it is right now, the
aforementioned three bands save it. D.
Jason: I will pass on my grade, since I didn't see it.
Chico: Jason passes.
Don: Ditto.
Chico: Don passes.
Gordon: There's SOME good bands on here. unfortunately, they are stuck on this
Idol clone. What I'm concerned about is that shows like this that will drag Idol
right unto the ground. The good bands deserve better. D.
Chico: If its any consolation, it shouldn't be long. They're getting rid of two
bands each week.
Jason: 6 weeks?
Chico: Yep.
Jason: Another bad bad sign.
Chico: Bad signs aplenty in this next story... Who wants some Survivor?
Jason: I'll take a slice.
Chico: Seems like the name of the game is "get rid of all the strong guys"
Jason: That seems familiar.
Chico: Perhaps we should start at the beginning.
Gordon: You think the producers were tired of the Alpha male winning?
Chico: I'm just saying. Okay, the beginning... We had a bit of a switchup. Aaron
and James are now part of the Zhan Hu. Frosti & Sherea are now of the Fei Long.
Zhan Hu lost the Immunity Challenge, because some of their own get the idea to
throw said challenge to even out the numbers going to the merge.
Don: Even though this loss would bring their number from 5 to 4?
Chico: Actually, I think Peih-Gee and Jaime's thinking is that there will be a
six-to-six of old tribal lines.
Don: Ah, okay, then.
Chico: But then Aaron got voted out. So along old lines, it's 6 Fei Long, 5 Zhan
Hu. Along new lines: 7 Fei Long, 4 Zhan Hu.
Don: Okay, I think I see what's happening now. And if Zhan Hu loses the next
immunity challenge as well, they could vote out James, and under old lines, it
would then be even.
Chico: Now you're on.
Gordon: but the strategy - which is a good one - is to get it to even, which
they have to do, because if they don't, it's game over for Zhan Hu
Chico: Makes sense, doesn't it? So if I was James... I'd watch my back.
Gordon: It does - but at the same time, its going to be a lame immunity
challenge if both teams try to lose.
Chico: Yeah. Jeff's going to want a do-over. "I've been around for a while. I
know when a tribe is throwing a challenge."
Gordon: Could you imagine an immunity challenge where only 3 people (James,
Frosti and Sherea) are the only people actively competing?
Jason: He said that? Jeff I mean?
Chico: Something like that, yeah. As for imagining that sort of thing, Gordon...
I was actually hoping for that in the final show of this season. But, oh well.
Gordon: Nope. I have to say I don't like this twist.
Chico: I blame the players. Apparently they're smarter than the game now. Bad
medicine.
Jason: You also can blame the producers for letting it happen.
Gordon: I blame the producers, for not thinking this through
Jason: (high five Gordon)
Chico: Okay, so maybe there's enough blame to go around.
Gordon: I do agree though that if the players were smart, they would try to do
some aligning, because 2 of the people will survive this.
Chico: Who wants to bet that one of the two throwers will be one of them?
Gordon: And all you are doing is alienating the tribes to even get into greater
pick-off mode
Chico: Something like that, yeah.
Gordon: But someone who will not be alienated - Kendall from Temptation, who
actually walks off the show after 4 days with a nice trip and over $15,000 worth
of goodies.
Jason: Hooray. (in Droopy Dawg voice).
Chico: (plays "Take Me Out") And all she had to do was remember that she was
playing a game. And that everyone else was playing with her. Don't get us wrong.
Temptation is still the scourge of the fall season. But it's nice to see someone
playing the game for a change.
Chico: Instead of, you know... getting all squealy and giddy...
Jason: what do you know, playing the game...what a concept.
Chico: Still would've wanted her to drive the Jag out of Shopper's Paradise, but
hey, the heart wants what it wants.
Gordon: She didn't have close to the amount of money needed for the car and she
knew it. The trip is a nice payday. Also playing the game - and quite nicely I
may add, Shad Small, who first gets a $20,400 tie and is now a 3 day champion
with over $50,000 in goodies
Chico: Very sexy.
Gordon: Can he be the first 5 day (or more) champ?
Chico: Wouldn't put it past him. It all depends on his competition.
Jason: How he was the only one who got the Louisiana Purchase was beyond me.
Gordon: True, but does he have the smarts to do it?
Chico: Yep. But maybe he meets a Zerg-type that also has the smarts. Then he has
to rely on smart gameplay.
Gordon: One more kudos for this week - Rob on Crosswords, who has won the most
so far out of anyone on Crosswords - $8,100 and 3 trips - to San Francisco, Palm
Springs and St. Lucia.
Chico: I believe there was also an $11,000 win this week. Bruce Haights was that
guy's name.
Gordon: He wins $11,000, but no third and bonus trip
Jason: Lot of cash though.
Gordon: Yes - but I would think the $8,100 is more impressive because he got the
bonus trip too, which is probably worth more than $3,000
Chico: True.
Jason: I would think.
Chico: Meanwhile, all we have are a litter of news-powering hamsters (and one
newscat)
Gordon: Actually, they solved the Sunday Crossword this week with no help. They
are getting smarter.
Chico: Really.
Don: Nice.
Jason: very cool.
Chico: Wow. Diet of news is working... Let's give 'em some more.
Gordon: It was a game show themed crossword.
Chico: Oh. That explains it.
Gordon: Roll that Beautiful Brain Footage
 (Doug:
Live, local, and latebreaking... From the four corners of the globe to your
frontal lobe, this is WLTI Brainvision News, and now here's Gordon Pepper, Chico
Alexander, and the award-winning Brainvision News Team)
Chico: Thanks, Doug. First up with the datebook is Gordon. How was your date
with Drew Carey?
Gordon: Smokin'. Who wants a date with Foxwoods?
Jason: I do!
Don: Sure, why not?
Chico: ME!
 Starting October 30th, Foxwoods will be hosting an 8 week run of The Price is
Right. It will run through December 19th. Check it out at http://www.foxwoods.com
Jason: The catch...it runs Monday to Thursday. No weekend days.
Gordon: Its an onstage 'live' version. Of course, you can't win the stuff you
see on TV, but they have some cool stuff.
Jason: very cool stuff. Isn't this the first time its on a non-harrah's
property?
Gordon: Yes it is
Jason: New season, new casino I guess.
Don: Makes sense.
Jason: but If I can make it...i will try. it's a fun day out.
Chico: Cool. Meanwhile, the deletion of Playmania wasn't the only industry move
this week... Someone get my bat..
Jason: (hands you the big black bat)
Chico: Thank you... In the Business End this week...
 A while ago, we reported on France's "Hold Onto Your Seat". Well, Michael
Davies, arbiter of all things right and good with game shows since 1999, has
picked up the US rights to said show.
Jason: Interesting. Another hit, perhaps?
Chico: Depends on who gets it and what they do with it.
Jason: if it's ABC...its a bad move :-)
Chico: Let's see here... CBS already has a proven formula with Power of 10.
ABC's been seemingly cursed since they cancelled Millionaire. "The Curse of the
Fastest Finger", we'll call it. Like the Curse of the Bambino?
Jason: Yeah
Chico: They haven't had a hit studio game since. Show Me the Money... miss. Set
for Life... miss... National Bingo Night... miss... but is renewed thanks to the
web.
Jason: which makes it a hit.
Chico: By THAT much. NBC.. will take anything and everything. Fox... will take
anything and everything... and ruin it. GSN needs to recover its losses from
Without Prejudice... and they already have a deal in place with Davies, sooo...
Gordon: What sort of Without Prejudice losses are we talking about?
Jason: What losses?
Chico: Well, they invested heavily in pubbing the show, and now it's not airing
anymore.
Jason: Because it was a limited run.
Chico: So was Grand Slam, but that's still airing.
Jason: I don't think there were losses involved with WP.
Chico: you don't think so?
Jason: no I don't.
Chico: Well, maybe you're right. Guess time will tell on that one. The point is,
whether Hold Onto Your Seat will live or die depends on who gets it.
Gordon: GSN is in deep trouble
Jason: Of course GSN Is in deep trouble.
Chico: Of course.
Jason: They put everything they had into Playmania...and now that the cash cow
is gone...they have nothing. They were trying to use the revenue stream which
they don't have anymore.
Gordon: They better be breeding another cow right now, or they may be put to
pasture.
Chico: But on a different tangent...
Gordon: Are You Smarter Than...
 Online Nation, which is the first show to 'officially' be cancelled in the
Fall Season.
Don: Online Nation?
Gordon: CW Show on Sundays
Don: Ah. I never heard of it.
Gordon: Apparently, too many people haven't heard of it.
Chico: Remember Web Junk 20? It was something like that.
Jason: yeah
Gordon: And now it's gone
Chico: Apparently the game show world is very smart this week. =p
Gordon: Smart? Yes. Full of love? No.
Chico: Heh.
Gordon: Ready for some Haterade?
Don: Ready.
Jason: Oh yeah
Chico: Okay.
 This week, the Haterade is going to Jack Mackenroth, an HIV+ contestant on
Project Runway who accuses the show of kicking him off because of a facial staph
infection.
Chico: Staph infections are getting a pretty bad rap this week. Could it be that
he was just bad?
Gordon: It could be. Staph infections, however, have been known to be an
infectious way of transmitting the HIV bug, according to the article.
Jason: Ok. Not a good idea blaming that for your ouster though.
Gordon: I never said it was a good idea. We'll see how they spin it when it's
time for his ouster.
Chico: We'll see indeed. Meanwhile, he'll have more time to work on his dancing.
Trust me.
Gordon: I'm guessing that after his ouster, Jack is going to want to get fully
loaded.
Jason: Hic
 If you're a big fan of Dancing with the Stars, you're going to want to mark
down October 30 on your C&G's Datebook... That's when Activision plans to
release the game for the Wii.
Jason: Dancing with the Wii.
Don: Sounds interesting.
Gordon: I dance with my Wii in the shower ;-)
Chico: Good night everyone.
Gordon: Should I turn the lights out before I leave the shop?
Jason: Check please
Chico: Aw geez... Once again, we've gone to depths unheard of for your
entertainment.
Jason: PG people :-)
More Loaded coming in the form of a website: Reason.tv, which features Drew
Carey in a documentary about LA traffic.
Jason: but he is again going to use that to promote his anti-drug law agenda as
well as well as other opinions.
Chico: We've driven LA traffic before... we know how crazy that is.
Jason: In a nice Subaru Wagon.
Chico: With a bed attached to the top. But hey, as long as he keeps this and his
game show gig separate, everything is square.
Don: Yep.
Chico: And speaking of things that are square... Hey, Gordon, I vacuumed and
shampooed the cushions on the Casting Couch.
Gordon: I was wondering when you would clean out the hamster dander from the
sofa.
Chico: Yeah, it was looking kinda funky. Hey, remember the Newlywed Game?
Remember the Dating Game?
Gordon: I do, actually
Chico: Well, someone's looking to revive those two... again. It's been only
eight years, folks.
Jason: Let's bring it back one more time!
 Producers are calling their new revisions the "latest and greatest versions
of 'The Dating Game' and 'The Newlywed Game'" They are seeking single men and
women of all ages for Dating, and recently-married couples for the Newlywed
Game.
Jason: (cue the themes....)
Gordon: Check out Craigslist for more info.
Chico: You can also check out Craigslist for "Duel."
Gordon: Perhaps you would prefer winning 10 million dollars
Jason: I do I do. But of course I am almost 40 and can't play! :-)
Gordon: You're an old fart, Jay. Sorry.
Jason: Right. Noted.

Chico: Tell Drew we said hello.
Jason: You will come to NYC. It's a fun place to be.

vaudeville act?
Jason: why not

Gordon: Now for the Hoes...
Chico: *playing "Pimpin' All Over the World"*
Jason: Pimp Cup up high!
 In this week's Media Ho Report, Samantha Harris goes back to work, Paula
Abdul talks marriage, Elizabeth Hasselbeck goes on View Maternity leave...
Chico: You'd think that motherhood would've mellowed her out. WRONG! =p
Jason: Oh please. Don't pick on Liz.
Chico: I was talking about Samantha
Jason: Oh sorry--my bad.
Janice Dickinson goes through more plastic surgery, Clay Aiken joins Spamalot,
we have celebrities spinning the wheel, Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood do a
comedy act...
Gordon: but none of them are your ho of the week.
Chico: I bet it's Drew again.
Gordon: It's not Drew.
Chico: Oh...
Jason: It's not?
Gordon: Nope. The Media Ho of the week is...London
Jason: the city? in England?
Chico: Okay, this I have to hear. Let's hear it.
Gordon: Not exactly. The Media Ho of the week is Latoya London, who is changing
her name. From now on, she wishes to only be known as...London.
Jason: Oh boy.
Don: Um, okay.
Chico: She has a new CD coming out or something?
Jason: You think?
Gordon: Probably, and I'll say that she'll have less people buying it than all
of the residents of London
Jason: No kidding.
Gordon: And those...are your hoes.
Chico: Okay, after that, we have to go to London for this last one.
Jason: Lets go!
 Let's see.. we have soap stars Feuding on Family Fortunes... ITV having to
dole out $37 mill... and a new show called "The Kids Are All Right". The host of
said show... John Barrowman. He of the "Captain Jack" role on "Doctor Who."
Chico: The plot is: kids try to prevent adults from winning prizes.
Jason: Sweet.
Chico: It's like "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader"... only the kids turn
against you.
Don: Cool.
Chico: And that's Brainvision. Shut it down.
Gordon: (boooop)
Chico: Okay, we're back with more in a bit, but first, I'm making an executive
decision. Since last week's ep was delayed in getting online, I'd like to
carryover the YLTI question. If that's okay with everyone.
Jason: I say ok
Don: Fine with me.
Gordon: Sure
Chico: Okay, so the question again...

Chico: Results next week. We promise. But coming up next... babies and
babydaddies. This is We Love to Interrupt, game show news without that lingering
aftertaste.
