None of the writers decided to update today, so sorry for delays. According to TVWeek, NBC has supposedly chosen Joey Fatone, a former N’Snyc member, to host their karaoke game show The Singing Bee. In the show, contestants will have to sing to songs as the lyrics and music disappear. This news comes days after NBC rushed the show to July 10th after FOX announced their clear ripoff show, Don’t Forget the Lyrics, was also rushed to air on July 11th. Whose Line is it Anyway? cast member Wayne Brady will host FOX’s edition.
Any thoughts on this host casting? I’ve stated my opinions about Wayne Brady, but I will admit he seems to have boat loads more charisma and charm than Joey Fatone does. Yes, he is a decent singer I suppose (I couldn’t name you one N’Sync song to this day), but that isn’t all that’s needed to host a game show, even if it is a singing game show. I believe he was recently on Dancing With the Stars. Can anyone tell me how he was on that, because I’ve never seen an episode of that show?

NBC must really like their 4th place position.

Joey on Dancing with the Stars came in second to Apolo Anton Ohno… Near the end especially he was showing quite a bit fo charisma, mugging to the camera and all. Not sure if he can handle a hosting job, but I’ve been surprised before.

Joey was surprisingly charismatic and relatable on DWTS. This may not be a bad choice…and he’s no longer Fat One with all that dancing.

It’s an interesting choice, given the only NSYNC members who have really gotten any press recently are Justin Timberlake and Lance Bass. Honestly, I wouldn’t have known him from the group had it not been for the “Robot Chicken” “Enter the Fat One” sketch. I’m just glad they’re looking outside the comedy circuit for this gig.
