“GSN Live” Guests + Shokus “Concentration” Tribute

Posted by Alex Davis On September - 23 - 2008

"Trivial Pursuit: America Plays" Host Christopher KnightTwo stories for the price of one.  We’re going crazy.  Seriously, we are; I got four hours of sleep last night because of various things.  First off, with the extension of GSN Live to the 3PM ET to 6PM ET, new guests are needed.  First up is Trivial Pursuit: America Plays host Christopher Knight.  He’ll be on this Thursday from 3:00PM ET to 4:30PM ET.  I hate to go off on a tangent, but I have to.  Some initially were a bit disgruntled that Mark Walberg, the host of the pilot, didn’t get the actual show hosting job.  Watching how Trivial Pursuit goes, does anyone else think it’s better than Mark isn’t hosting?  It seems like it would have been a waste of his talents.

Long time To Tell The Truth panelist Orson Bean visits the set from 12:00PM ET to 2:00PM ET.  Finally, you can see Erik Estrada from 5:00PM ET to 6:00PM ET.  Older people may remember him from CHiPs.  People who love horribly filthy humor like me may remember him more recently from Sealab 2021.

Also, be sure to check out Shokus Internet Radio this Wednesday, September 24th, from 4PM PT to 6PM PT to hear a nice tribute to the classic game show Concentration which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year.  The show’s producer and puzzle creator Norm Blumenthal will be there to discuss the show and answer any questions listeners may have.  Just click this link to go to the site.
