MIND OF A MAN
GSN - January 8
CHICO GORDON JASON PASTRY
PASTRY PASTRY PASTRY

Chico: We have a channel that's known for Bible Challenges, British quizzers, and Steve Harvey, now we're going to play with the Steve Harvey demo and attract their audience with a new kind of survey, and the same kind of host.
Gordon: I'm not a fan of the concept, but I'm a fan of Davis, so I'll sample this one. Pastry.
Chico: This show will live or die on the game play, but it's only worth a PASTRY for me

AMERICAN IDOL
Fox - January 15
CHICO GORDON JASON JIGGLE
JIGGLE PASTRY FLUSH

Jason: After the worst year of the show ever, the show is trying to tap into the Voice attitude with happy judging panel. Too much. Too little. Too late. FLUSH.
Gordon: Oh of course...I can't flush this. As much as I want to. Pastry. Sorry.
Chico: Okay. Here's the thing with me. They're taking baby steps after the cluster that was last season.
Gordon: ok
Chico: But if you ask me they need to try and recapture what made the show successful in the first place. That it was accessible to anyone. The Voice is the thinking man's talent show. The high brow. They need to remember that age old axiom, the greatest competition is with yourself. Now they have to be brutally honest but not lose their own character. I have a feeling J-Lo will fit that bill. But again, baby steps. For that, I'll jiggle.
Jason: (shakes head) What part of past its prime do you not get?
Chico: How many times was SNL past its prime?
Jason: for the most part it still is, but go on.
Gordon: Keep in mind that SNL was 'past its prime' but still got some gems afterwards.
Chico: My point exactly. It's all about recapturing magic. It's not at all impossible to do so, but they need to play this smartly.
Jason: I still think we are going to see ratings declines and rumors of cancellation, WHICH WILL HAPPEN NEXT YEAR. Mark it down.
Chico: We're marking it down. Jason Block says that 13 will be it.
Jason: I do. If they renew it will be very lucky.
Chico: And that's it for now. We'll take a look at more shows in the new year, but we're going to wrap this up in just a moment.
Gordon: Watch this!

(Brought to you by Grizzlebees December Paradise WInter Hoilday in 70 degrees special! You can have the Vo-Iced Mocha along with some American I-dolled up fruit salad and some Survivoracious Ham. Finally, you can get a roasted pig - with it's face-off. (See what I did there?). That's Grizzlebees - with a Taste of 2014. You'll Wish you had less fun!)

Chico: Okay, not a lot of time left, so let's go to the year-end thoughts, starting with the Block. Jason?
Jason: This was the year where we are seeing a slow changing of the guard. And to get political here a little bit, it is awesome to see not one, not two, but three competent African American hosts not only get a shot, but succeed with incredible momentum. Wayne Brady was an Emmy nominee and should be a winner. Steve Harvey has shown to be great and Cedric has his shot. This year was another amazing year for the genre, and I think 2014 is going to be even better. You have younger talented people who GET the genre. And older people like Harry Friedman who want to keep the flame alive. This genre ain't dead by a long shot. This is the most alive it's been in a WHILE. Keep supporting the shows you want like the Chase, like Whodunnit, like Let's Ask America. People will produce this stuff. It's here to stay. Thank you.
Chico: Thank you, Jason Block. Taking the ball, handing it off to Gordon Pepper.
Gordon: Here's my thoughts - the first half of 2013? Sucked. Lots of retreads, nothing new or original, and a lot of badly executed programming. The second half, however, was a lot of fun, with The Chase, et al. The WQC was also a big hit, while you see more independents doing well. My wish for 2014 - the continued creativity of the genre - even Million Second Quiz, which could be a juggernaut if executed properly. And the continuous support of the fans, who's support of the new continues to make these things possible. Thank you.
Chico: Thank you, Gordon. As I said earlier this year, this was the year that the fans took control. Not just the tight-knit collection of diehards that I, Gordon, and Jason are PROUD to be members of, but also the fans who have been in the game for a long time. This was the year we saw the success of a game show on YouTube. This was the year that the game show became more accessible to those who can't get ahold of a ticket to LA or New York. This was the year we saw more people out of the fandom in the industry in the places and shows that matter. 2013 was a great year for the genre, but as great as it was, 2014 will be even better with at least two more titles on the horizon, and all of our favorites not going anywhere for quite a while. On a side note, 2014 is also a banner year for this site. It's our 15th anniversary. And we've said this before, we'll keep saying this. We can't do this and can't do what we do on a daily basis without you. So from the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. And all I can say is watch this space because the best, I believe, is yet to come. Thank you to Jason Block, Thank you to the folks at CLW83.com Thanks to all of our readers and listeners. And one more time in 2013, He's Gordon Pepper. I'm Chico Alexander. The show is We Love to Interrupt. We leave you now with the best moments of the last year. Game over, Spread the love, and ALL THE BEST IN 2014. Goodnight everybody!
Gordon: Good night!
Jason: Good night

Chico:

Aaryn Gries is on Big Brother....
Talking spit all through the summer...
But the way she plays with others, uh huh...
Makes me think she's got no mother...

Hateful epithets
Broadcast on CBS
Are over internets
Now her boss is upset!

She thinks she's just having fun,
She says she's hurting no one,
But when Big Brother is done,
Her life is gonna be sucky.

She thinks she's just having fun,
She says she's hurting no one,
But when Big Brother is done,
Her life is gonna be sucky.

Her life is gonna be sucky.
Her life is gonna be sucky.
Her life is gonna be sucky.
Aaryn's life is gonna be sucky.

------------------------------

Chico: Last Friday... a TARDIS got picked.
Gordon: (Plays Dr. Who Theme)
Chico: That was reason enough to watch.
Gordon: And then she wins 1/2 of a car (plays Zonk Theme)
Chico: It's smaller on the inside AND the outside.
Gordon: Unlike our show, which is bigger on the inside than the outside, thanks to an unintended hiatus (stares at

old, smoldering laptop)
Chico: A moment for Gordon Jr... (moment) Okay that's enough.
Gordon: And welcome to the webcast Gordon the 3rd.
Chico: Long live Gordon III.

------------------------------

Are YOU Smarter than...Justin Bieber. According to TMZ, the Bieb, who has been on a ton of reality shows, was

caught smoking pot and shagging with a woman clearly not named Selena Gomez.

Jason: Well him and Selena are done
Chico: He was in Colorado and Washington, right?
Gordon: If they were the names of women at the party, yes.
Jason: GOOD NIGHT EVERYBODY!
Chico: Heyoh!

------------------------------

Dear Dr. Chico -

How do you solve a problem like Mariah?

Love, Nicki

Chico: (GROAN)
Gordon: Thank you, I'll be here all week.

Champions? No problem. Have this ring for being a 5 time champion. Ring provided by everyone gets a cookie

foundation and the University of North Carolina, Texas University and Ohio State University Athletics)

Chico: Someone's a hater.
Gordon: Moi?
Chico: Vous.

------------------------------

The last of the 11 Southern States to secede from the Union, it borders 6 of them.

Chico: Gordon, you want to take or defer to Donut?
Gordon: I want Donut to give the right answer.
Chico: Donut, give the right answer.
Don: What is Tennessee?
Chico: Gordon?
Gordon: What is the Chaine of Ye Old Dollywood Amusement Parks?
Chico: Way to go medieval on that.
Gordon: Well, it's Southern Hospitality, y'all.
Chico: No one secedes from the Cedar Fair staple and LIVES!
Don: lol

------------------------------

Chico: If you like WLTI Live, our audio version of the big show, you can now access it via the Stitcher app. Go to

Stitcher.com to download it for free! How much is that?
Jason: NOTHING
Chico: That's right. You can also search the App store or Google Play for Stitcher. And now, Gordon Pepper will

translate that for the non-web inclined.
Gordon: Go to Google play. Go to stitcher. Download our programs.
Chico: That's some good translating
Gordon: Chico will send you a pony.
Chico: I will.
Gordon: Translation: He won't.
Chico: Heh.

------------------------------

Chico: Last one...

Doctor...

What. Is. Your. Name?!

Signed, not a Silent from Trenzalore
Chico: ...obviously the wrong doctor there. Last one...

Dr. GORDONIS... my Adonis...

I saw the Bed-Chico-ler... now I got my eye set on you pookie.

Signed, Nicki.

Chico: ... I'd take my chances with the Silent.

------------------------------

Gordon: You're reading WLTI. you give us 22 minutes and we'll give you 22 Wheel of Fortune puzzles that you won't see in a Bonus Round. Like Tea Kettle.
Chico: Or Nene Leakes.
Gordon: Henny Penny
Chico: Rest Area.
Gordon: Eye of the Needle
Chico: Ferris Bueller.
Gordon: The Bed-Chicoler. Pity.
Chico: Ha HA.

------------------------------

Chico: So the last we left our intrepid little Harper's Ferry rejects, a horse was on Ulysses.
Gordon: And we don't mean Kim Kardashian. That would mean that a cow fell on Ulysses.
Chico: Ouch.
Gordon: That's what Ulysses would have said, if he wasn't killed.
Chico: So if a cow mated with a jackass... wed get North West. Sorry, had to go there.

------------------------------

Chico: Okay. Now switching to Jeopardy! We have some people. And they are getting ready to play a tournament of sorts, Battle of the Decades action. Problem is, They have 14 players slotted, And one open. That's where you come in, America.
Jason: This is INSANELY COOL.
Chico: Indeed.
Jason: For the people who can be eligible (grumble)
Gordon: Ha ha.
Chico: Let it go, man, Let it go.
Gordon: I think Jay's having an asthmna attack.
Jason: ...
Gordon: Funny I think a bird is flying over his head and Jay may be sending it towards me.
Jason: Oh, I am sending a damn flock.

------------------------------

(Brainvision is presented by the Giant Kentucky Fried Tar Heel Ofer Holes! Now available in Chicago Deep Dish style. You'll want to bear your load on this one! It's the Drive for Imperfection promotion!)

Gordon: I think you could also give the Holes to the offensive line, defensive line and special teams.
Chico: And I'll say what you've said to me countless times, G. All the Giants have to do is win. Just. One. Game.
Gordon: Oh no. I want them to go 0-16. I want the #1 Draft pick. I want to see Ofer Hole ads in December.
Chico: And save some for Tom Coughlin. He's gonna need a box after this season.
Gordon: A padded one, I think.

------------------------------

Chico: The category is... Recent Oscar Winners.

From 2008, it's the most recent film to win Best Picture & Best Song; the lyrics are in a foreign language.

Chico: I got this easy
Gordon: Do tell
Chico: And if you're a game show fan, you should've gotten this easy too. It was "What is Slumdog Millionaire?"
Gordon: Thats not what I had.
Chico: Tell me what you had?
Gordon: I had What is Catfish 2: The Ballad of Manti Te'o?
Chico: Heyo!
Gordon: Featuring the song 'My Harddrive Will Go On'
Chico: Believe it or not, that's in Brainvision later. :-)
Gordon: Sung by Celine Dion's younger cousin, Honey Dion.
Chico: Oh Honey.

------------------------------

Gordon: Survivor: Does Tyson survive his fight for Survival on the next vote?
Jason: Maybe if the promos are correct
Gordon: He does. The Voice - the voices are beautiful, but will we gets the expected Face of Evil?
Chico: I think so. A frontrunner's going to get the scare of his or her, life.
Jason: Yes.
Gordon: Amazing Race, which team does not get to race for Enlightenment and the million?
Chico: Tim and Marie
Gordon: Tim and Marie.
Chico: Agreed.
Gordon: They find the Stones of blood.
Chico: I'm sensing a theme here...
Gordon: Jeopardy: Will anyone reach The Mark of the Rani?
Chico: Yep, definite theme here.
Jason: Nope.
Chico: That would be a no, not this week.
Gordon: X-Factor: Who's Silence Will Fall?
Chico: My silence fell a long time ago. :-) But if you have to ask me, I say Carlito Olivero and Rion Page.
Gordon: I agree. Any email from the UNITs?
Chico: Nothing from UNIT. Nothing from Torchwood. Nothing from the Brigadier, may he rest in peace.
Gordon: If they want to send some email, where does it go?
Chico: Goes to wlti@gameshownewsnet.com, or you can follow us on Facebook and Twitter @wltiongsnn.
