Another Preview of Steve Harvey on “Family Feud”
The reception to the Steve Harvey @Family_Feud clips we showed off a few weeks ago was really great, which is nice. I figured many of you would want to see more. The show recently uploaded another clip, so check it out if you haven't seen it. This is Steve interacting with one particular family member during a main game question. The result is extremely funny. If he keeps this up and the show ends up being like this, its an incredibly good sign for the long running show. Check out the clip after the break.

First Look at the New “Family Feud” Set
One of our readers, Brent, went to the first taping of the brand new season of Family Feud today. The show moved to Orlando and got a new host, Steve Harvey. The show also got a new set. New is a bit of a stretch. Slightly updated is better. The board and family area and basic backdrop is the same. They just did away with the classic looking Face Off podium and family podium and made them slightly more modern. Also, the audience-in-the-round is gone. Check out a large image of it after the break.

Rumor Control: “5th Grader” Lowering Number of Questions?
Quick blurb from an audience report of the new season of Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader? from Hollywood Junket. They say the format is the same, letting players go for up to $250,000. However, they are allegedly lowering the number of questions. If this report is correct then the fifth grade questions from the main game have been removed but the fifth grade Bonus Question is still there. Like in the first season there are two first grade questions worth $500 each and two second grade questions worth $1,000 each. However, the two third grade questions are apparently now worth $3,500 and the two fourth grade questions are worth $7,500 each for a grand total of $25,000. A wrong answer wipes your bank to $0. If you want to gamble your money you can risk it all on one final question, a fifth grade question, for ten times your money. What do we think, if this is all true?

“Pyramid” And Fall 2010 Shows Need Audiences
The Fall 2010 television season isn't too far away and some of your favorite game shows, including new comers, need an audience. These are mostly all Los Angeles based so if you're in that area you're in luck. The news most people are waiting for (and quite a few apparently on verge of a nervous break down to hear about given the comments everywhere) is Pyramid. The audience notice is out now, and you can get tickets here. As we reported a few days ago by us the taping will be for an hour-long show. I just want to make sure to warn those foaming at the mouth...the show hasn't been picked up yet. It's just a pilot. Don't jump to giant conclusions. I heard from multiple people a big reason the last pilot didn't sell was the tone was incredibly different from The Price is Right and they wanted something that was more of a companion show. I don't know what they are specifically looking for this time.

“Who Wants to be a Millionaire” Sketch on “Saturday Night Live”
Anyone watch Saturday Night Live last night? No, I didn't either because I enjoy actual comedy (e.g. Craig Ferguson live in Greesburg, PA), but last night they had a sketch which will amuse many of us. As many are aware Steve Harvey was recently the guest host of Who Wants to be a Millionaire. SNL did a sketch about Steve's run on Millionaire, and not only was it (shockingly) funny but it was pretty spot-on. What do you think? Matches up well? His week on Millionaire really proved to me, more than anything, that he is going to be incredibly good in his Family Feud role. He can do the comedy part well, and if any game show format is set up for Steve, it's Feud. And hey if nothing else at least Millionaire is getting some
