CBS has ordered three new alternative/reality series for broadcast
later this year the biweekly celebrity talent contest SECRET
TALENTS OF THE STARS, the hidden camera game show GAME SHOW IN MY
HEAD and the search for AMERICA'S TOP DOG. The series were announced
by Ghen Maynard, Executive Vice President, Alternative Programming &
Entertainment Content for New Media, CBS Paramount Network Television
Entertainment Group.
SECRET TALENTS OF THE STARS, a biweekly celebrity talent show, will
uncover some of the most fascinating and unique secret talents of
your favorite film and television stars, whether it be singing,
dancing, magic or even acrobatics. Celebrities will compete in a
tournament-structured format to determine who has the best hidden
talent. Each performance will include a lineup of professional judges
to provide their point of view but it's the viewers who get to vote
for which celebrity impressed them the most. In the results show,
viewers' votes determine which celebrity gets to keep showing off
their talent and who must go home.
GAME SHOW IN MY HEAD, a new half-hour series from executive producers
Ashton Kutcher & Jason Goldberg ("Punk'd," "Beauty and the Geek"), is
a hidden camera game show in which contestants wear an earpiece as
they go about life in the city and are instructed by the host back in
the studio to do stunts. If the contestants can perform crazy,
outrageous and often embarrassing tasks in public, they can go home
with big money. However, if they fail to perform one task, they'll
lose all the money they earned thus far and go home empty-handed.
It's all about how far the contestants are willing to go to win GAME
SHOW IN MY HEAD.
AMERICA'S TOP DOG (working title) is a new one hour-long series
where "man's best friend" can help its owner win big money! Owners
and their pets from "pageant dogs" to those dogs simply trained at
home will live together and battle it out in a dog competition that
puts the dog's relationship with the person who has raised and
trained it to the test. In the end, only one team of loving owner and
faithful dog will emerge the winner in this dog-eat-dog competition!
