A while ago GSN was casting for their new original show How Much is Enough?. They have their contestants, who have been applying online or in person for the last two months. They also have their host: Corbin Bernsen.

This might be one of GSN’s more high profile hosts in quite some time; probably since Chuck Woolery. He’s been on the hit TV show L.A. Law, the major movie Major League, and currently can be seen on USA’s Psych. Plus he was on my personal favorite reality show which is The Mole. Corbin was on both celebrity seasons of it. He’s become very involved in the game show industry recently; specifically GSN. Corbin had appearances on I’ve Got A Secret as well as produced a pilot called Carry Your Weight back in January of this year.

Good news about the format! It’s not a word game! It may have no trivia or real skill, but a non-word game puts a smile on my face. Quite simply, through different rounds, a giant electronic money clock will count up from $0 or a predetermined dollar value. Four players have to secretly lock in when they want the clock to stop and take whatever money is present. There is some strategy and psychology going on here, as you have to convince your opponent to play on too long, as there should be some point where you can’t take any money into the next round.

The final two contestant’s scores are combined for the end, and that’s the max the money clock can go to. It starts at a low value and continues to count up. The first player to buzz in wins whatever is on the clock. So, in short, you have to convince your opponent not to buzz in long enough so that you can take home more money. Yeah, there’s no real knowledge or skill here, but I’m still very interested. Looks like a very psychologically based game that’s going to be suspenseful and probably funny. Can’t wait to see how this turns out. GSN starts taping on Tuesday. For tickets, click here.
