Game Show

I got an email from The Groundlings about an audition for a new game show that CBS had in the works. It was being produced by Courtney Cox & David Arquette. The premise of the show is like the “Ten Thousand Dollar Pyramid”. We would have to give clues of famous people from Paris Hilton to Kermit the Frog to Barack Obama.
They were looking for couples (friends, partners, etc) who knew each other well, rather than just acquaintances so that we could play off each other and have personal thoughts and views about some celebrities. This was for the run-through in front of the producers and CBS executives.

After the audition we were asked to come back to do the run-through the next morning. Courtney & David were there with their daughter. They were exactly what I thought they would look like. Courtney looked like she had some work done and David was dressed in his stylish bright colors. Their daughter got really into it and was clapping to cheer on the teams.

At the start of the run-through they ask us how Rusty & I knew each other. Only knowing him for 2 months, we figured we should make something up. "Well, we've know each other for 3 years and we are the life of the party wherever we are. We like to shop and drink too." The host then comes up with a name for our team based on our little introduction interview. We were team "Shop & Drink". During the game we had energy and excitement but however, we didn’t win.

Thankfully it wasn’t for any sort of prize otherwise I would have been pissed!
