We really need one of those “We Called It!” signs that The Colbert Report has.  One of our good friends from England, David Howell, recently got back from a taping of the revival of the The Rich List.  This new edition was taping on the English version set so we thank him greatly for going.  A lot of really big shocking information was given about the show too.  GSN’s really trying some new things.

First off, it’s looking like it’s going to be an hour long show with two full games an hour.  Works just fine for me.  Wondering why Fred Roggin’s still been gone from GSN Live?  He’s the host of the new show which has been changed from The Rich List to The Money List.  If you don’t watch GSN Live, he also works with NBC Sports and was just away for the Olympics.  The format is the same as any version.  Just wager how many items from a list you can name.  Whichever team is challenged has to name the number of items they listed.  Whichever team finishes two lists wins the game and plays for $50,000 in the end game.  And for a first in GSN game shows: there are returning champions.  If you win, you can come back and potentially win a boatload of money.  About time GSN does this.

 
And there you have it.  One thing I’ve always wanted GSN to do is an hour long big money primetime game show, and they chose a decent one here.  It seemed to split the game show crowd, but it never got a real fair chance here.  It’s also been a success to some degree in every country it’s been on except here so it’s not like the show was a bust everywhere like Power of 10 sadly was.  We’ll get official information in the upcoming weeks, but for now, GSN may have something interesting on their hands.
