I’m about to give you a lot of opinions which conflict what I’ve written over and over in other articles during this post.  First off, let’s get the facts straight.  Bingo America, GSN’s hit interactive game show, is coming back.  People are reading way too much into its removal from the schedule.  GSN still gives away money to home viewers during the reruns.  No reason to continue doing this.  It’s why the show needs a larger episode order than 40, but I digress.  We know one change for sure, and that’s host Patrick Duffy is gone from the show.  Replacing him is, get ready, former Family Feud host Richard Karn.

And here comes the confusion.  I can actually see this working.  Let me get this out of the way and if Mr. Karn somehow reads this, I apologize but it’s just my opinion.  Richard was not a very good Feud host.  He was way too repetitive, not good with being funny off the top of his head, and was so cheery it gave viewers diabetes.  He’s moving to a show where he has no choice but to be repetitive, he has no time for improv, and he needs to be really excited and energetic.  I really think this is going to work well.  I liked former host Patrick Duffy and if he wants to host a more subdued game show, I’d love to see it.  But he was just too mellow and dull for the circus of the show.

We’ll find out if there are more changes to the show soon from our good friends and partners at Hollywood Junket.
