It’s about time we had some actual news about World Series of Pop Culture, isn’t it? The ultimate test of pop culture knowledge, the 2007 and second annual World Series of Pop Culture, presented by VH1, Entertainment Weekly, and Alltel will debut on Monday, July 9th, at 9PM ET. the show will air Mondays through Fridays at that time for a two week period of time. Here are some cool details about the new season.
1: All episodes can be viewed after initial airing on VH1’s website.
2: WSoPC II debuted a brand new website, which can be viewed here.
3: The website will also host “TriviaDome”, where users are presented with 25 questions. Whenever a wrong answer is given, they are eliminated from the game. The final person surviving wins $2,500 each night.
4: On the final night, the “Ultimate TriviaDome” will be hosted for $10,000
Sixteen teams will face off against each other, including last season’s champions El Chubacabra, for a chance at $250,000 in this single-elimination tournament. The amazing host from last season who SHOULD have hosted Chain Reaction, Pat Kiernan, will be presiding over the new season.
The new OCA is listing the dates for the tapings of the 2007 World Series of Pop Culture to be seen on VH1. If you want to be a part of it, apply for tickets here. Taping is on March 22nd, 23rd, and 24th. The show is still hosted by the very impressive Pat Kiernan and will take place in The Grand Ballroom at Manhattan Center Studios. If you’re in the audience on the 22nd or 23rd, you can win many Sony prizes like the far overpriced PS3 and maybe the awesome Nintendo Wii.
Our good friends at Embassy Row and VH1 have announced that the “World Series of Pop Culture” online qualifying exam, the PCIQ, will take place Wednesday, February 14th, at 7PM ET and 10PM ET. Anyone can take part in the standardized pop culture quiz to make it on VH1’s game show “World Series of Pop Culture” and possibly take away $250,000.

VH1 takes another step in the, well, in a direction which I’m not sure of by airing the new reality game show “The White Rapper Show” on January 8th. In the show, ten contestants will be living in a crappy tenement in the South Bronx and tested on their music “credibility”, which will basically be knowledge of hip hop culture and their “ideas about progency according to VH1’s press”. The winner will receive $100,000. Watch for it on January 8th at 10:30PM ET. We’re sure taking a jump here from “World Series of Pop Culture”, aren’t we?
Thanks to Mr. Justin Lollie for this.
