Noticed that BuzzerBlog has a new contributor: well-known game show contestant and Internet poster Chad Mosher. Chad's appeared on several game shows, including the pictured Millionaire, and has often posted on Internet game show boards. He also worked with Carrie Grosvenor on her game show blog at About.com. Nice to see he has a new gig with such a prominent site as BuzzerBlog.
My own relationship with BuzzerBlog has been, oh, let's just say a little rocky. Recently BuzzerBlog's main guy Alex Davis posted a pretty funny bingo card on his Twitter feed about fan reactions to Mike Richards as host of GSN's Pyramid. The card did me a nice service by mentioning me by name. This little blog can use the free publicity.
Unfortunately, the card called me an a-hole, but that's at least a defensible position, no? My profile on this blog isn't kidding about those Internet wars over game shows. Anyhoo, to get back to Chad, in a faux tweet I linked to one of his first BuzzerBlog posts, about Scripps' upcoming Let's Ask America. I tend to agree with Chad that the show does not look promising. In fact, it looks like a pretty slow quizzer whose only claim to distinction lies in using Skype to talk with contestants at home.
Which I don't think will make much difference, especially since Scripps is using the show to replace a couple of small efforts called Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy. I know, I'm prejudging Let's Ask America, which may turn out to be a dynamite format. But if Skype is all you've got going for you...
