“Nothing But the Truth” Canceled in Columbia

Just remember as you read this: FOX wouldn’t pick up Without Prejudice? because they thought asking people questions and getting their opinions on things was too racy. The home country of FOX’s new game show The Moment of Truth, Columbia, has canceled the shows after a contestant wanted $25,000 so badly that she admitted to putting a hit on her husband. The contestant said, “The crime couldn’t be carried out because the hit man tipped off my husband and he ran away forever — God save me.”

Howard Shultz, who is bringing the program to America, was quoted as saying “We’re very careful about the questions we ask and would never sanction any criminal behavior.” The Columbian version has also asked about drug smuggling, homosexual prostitution, and more. Can we honestly believe that the US version won’t pull out something like this? It’s FOX, so I’m just planning on it.

But hey, at least it’s hosted by Mark L. Walberg. That’s a huge plus. It’s just a shame such a great talent can’t get a decent show ever.
