WWTBAM Bored

Well, not exactly. I was catching up on some GSN recordings over the weekend and saw commercials for what looked like a new show, "Mind Masters." The commercials featured Brooke Burns and Ken Jennings. I looked it up and found out they are TOTALLY retooling and renaming "Best Ever Trivia Show." They have replaced Sherri Shepherd and appear to have fixed the stable of celebrity trivia experts at 3 instead of having the rotating stable they had on the old show.

I'd watch Brooke Burns in anything, whether hosting a game show, on a TV series or in a movie.

Press Release:
Game Show Network’s New Expert Trivia Game Show, ‘MASTER MINDS’ Hosted by Brooke Burns Premieres April 6 at 4 PM ET

Promo:


Sample Episode (NOT the pilot, as the first player is introduced as the "returning champion."):

My sources indicate there will be six rotating experts. Ryan Chaffee and Arianna Haut will be returning and new to the cast is LaKedra Pam: http://www.j-archive.com/showplayer.php?player_id=11794

Hmm, could be interesting... thanks for the heads-up!

I took the test, auditioned on Skype, and was scheduled to tape in February until "one of the experts" told them he knew me. That was probably Ken Jennings.

They've incorporated The Chase timed stuff. Is any of that proprietary?

Probably not. However, they did use elements of a new quiz show I pitched to them about seven years ago. I can't claim they violated my IP rights though.
