Oh, no?

We've got another set report from Hollywood Junket. This time the junketeers take in GSN's remake of Minute To Win It.

The show sounds like a paint-by-the-numbers re-do of the NBC version with Guy Fieri, except the top prize is a GSN-sized quarter-million.

And except for a different host. There's no Fieri, and Hollywood Junket is not happy about it. They dump on Apolo Ohno, who GSN summoned to replace the Food Network fellow. The dumping is downright severe:

[Ohno's] personality is not strong enough to host a game show. Sure, he is likable, but the only thing he adds to the show is his name...he lacks the ability to connect with an audience as a host. He does not appear enthusiastic when he is on stage. People want to see someone that is happy to be there.

When the show finally turns up on GSN, we'll see if these criticisms are fair. A while back I said Ohno might be a risk because jocks tend to look lost outside their sports. I'm a little concerned to see similar comments from somebody who's been on the set. But it's not fair for me to judge sight unseen.
