CBS Sets 'Power of 10' Premiere
Drew Carey will host the $10 million game show
June 21, 2007
CBS' Drew Carey-hosted game show "Power of 10" will premiere on the network this August.
The network announced that "Power of 10" will have get a special launch on Tuesday, Aug. 7 at 8 p.m. ET. "Power of 10" will move into its regular time period the following night at 8 p.m.
The show's premise is simple: Contestants take the stage and answer one question worth $1,000. The second question is worth 10 times as much. Each passing question increases in value by 10 times. And if a contestant gets five questions correct, they'll walk away with $10 million.
The questions are based on the response of the American people to a series of questions. Thousands of people will be asked questions on a variety of issues and contestants will have to correctly gauge the pulse of the country -- CBS' release offers "What percentage of Americans said they were virgins the day they got married?" and "How many Americans believe they are smarter than president George W. Bush?" as sample queries.
Carey is no stranger to late summer high stakes game shows. You may recall he hosted "Pepsi Play for a Billion" back in 2003, though you'd probably be more likely to remember if anybody had actually won the billion.
It was a big day, actually, for veterans of ABC's "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" and their summer game shows. In addition to Carey and his CBS show, FOX also announced a July premiere for the Wayne Brady-hosted "Don't Forget the Lyrics!"
En zoals hierboven al staat, Wayne Brady is ook weer te zien binnenkort:

Wayne Brady Hosts FOX's 'Lyrics'
FOX will beat NBC's "Great American Singing Bee" to the screen
June 20, 2007
Blinded by the light, revved up like a...
If you can complete that lyric (plus nine variably difficult lines), FOX may have a reality show for you this summer.
FOX announced on Wednesday (June 20) that the new series "Don't Forget the Lyrics!" will premiere on Wednesday, July 11 at 9:30 p.m. ET and Thursday, July 12 at 8:30 p.m. The show will continue in half-hour installments on those nights for several weeks and, if successful, it could expand.
Emmy winner Wayne Brady will host.
On "Don't Forget the Lyrics!," contestants will choose song from different genres, decades and artists. They'll come to the stage to sing along with the house band, initially performing with the lyrics projected on a screen. When the lyrics vanish, the contestants merely have to finish the verse. After each successful completion singers can either continue on or take a cash prize and walk away. If a singer can complete 10 lyrics, they'll win a $1 million prize.
Isn't that simple? It's so simple that NBC has committed to a nearly identical series, titled "The Great American Singing Bee."
That series, though, doesn't have Brady. Most recently seen in guest spots on "Everybody Hates Chris," "How I Met Your Mother" and "30 Rock," Brady won a pair of Emmys for his hosting duties on his eponymous talk show, as well as an additional Emmy for his work on ABC's "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" Last year he hosted "Celebrity Duets" for FOX. Remember "Celebrity Duets"? We don't either.
