Good book quizzer

Last year stories popped up about a Bible-based quizzer on GSN. The network reportedly offered the host job to Mike Huckabee, ordained minister and presidential candidate, but he declined. Huckabee instead chose political punditry. GSN went into the great original production hiatus, and the Bible stories faded.

But now the stories are back. GSN is piloting The American Bible Challenge, produced by Michael Davies of Millionaire renown. Amy Davis, GSN's programming veep, says the show will feature an "entertaining, unconventional format that makes The Good Book more accessible to the whole family." Nice to know the Bible is going to be "accessible."

I shouldn't sound so cynical. The show could be an intriguing quizzer. At least greed won't be the main motivator. Not that I have anything against greed on game shows. But it might look a little odd on a Bible show. Contestants will play for their churches.

No word on format details or the host. Probably won't be Jerry Springer. This doesn't seem like a compatible project for Baggage.
