Here's an unsold pilot recently uncovered.
NBC had commissioned Show Me! from an independent producer in 1990. Three pilots were produced before the network decided not to pick up the show.
Ex-MTV VJ Mark Goodman, having seen how his pal, Alan Hunter, had managed to do a fill-in gig on Triple Threat a couple of years earlier, was tapped to host this pilot. Our celebrity panel includes impressionist-actor Fred Travalena, no stranger to being an MC himself.
What were they going for? Sounds like You Don't Say for stand-ups. Goodman looked perfect in his first go as a game show host, but was never given another audition. Mark would later return to the MTV Networks family, this time at VH1, for a time.
Rating: B.
