Perhaps Julie Chen vs. Dave Price? Put down the blunt objects, just a suggestion. ;-)

None blunter! ;-)

It may just me be, but if The New New $25,000 Pyramid is picked up for series, it seems like it will, like the original run, be recorded in New York City (since all the tryouts/runthroughs are held there, and the production company has its offices there).

If only we could get the type of audience the old NY Pyramid had...what an experience that must have been.

Hi DoorNumberFour !

I'm very excited about the possibility of Pyramid returning home to NYC. I wish Mr. Davies and everyone at Embassy Row, all the very best of luck with the Pyramid Pilot.

I attended dozens of Pyramid tapings in NYC, as well as many other NYC based Game Shows. I attended a handful of tapings when Pyramid was on CBS, at the Ed Sullivan Theater. The bulk of my Pyramid experiences were at ABC's TV-15 Elysee Theater. It was a wonderful experience, and I will never forget my Game Show days.

Though I always agree with Curt, and I feel he's an incredible Game Show expert.... I have to slightly disagree with his comment about NY vs LA audiences. As someone who has attended Game Show tapings on both coasts, I strongly feel that NY audiences were far more enthusiastic than LA audiences (with the excpeption of Audience Participation shows such as The Price is Right, or Let's Make a Deal, where enthusiasm can win you a car !). Often, the excitement at Pyramid tapings (especially when a contestant conquered the Pyramid) was like attending a Rock Concert ! I remember many instances where Dick Clark and Bob Clayton actually had to encourage the studio audience to settle down. For what it's worth, I personally heard Johnny Olson, Bob Stewart, and Art James say that NY audiences were always better than LA audiences.

A related tidbit.... shows taped in older facilities such as Elysee and Ed Sullivan, have a very special sound to them. As these facilities are former Theaters, and have balconies, they have far different accoustics than TV Production facilites such as the CBS Broadcast Center. I could always hear the difference when watching at home.

The ticketing site for the program has four taping dates scheduled and confirms that it will indeed be The $1,000,000 Pyramid. While I trust the show in Davies's hands, $1M, even at the end of a tournament, is still a LOT for daytime Pyramid.

I thought a $100,000 top prize would have worked...but a million? That's a bit out there.

It also doesn't say where they are taping (besides NYC). Any speculation? Kaufman-Astoria?

Hmmm...could it be the Sony Studios in NYC, where they did Grand Slam and GSN's Chain Reaction?

/I thought Tim Vincent should've been the perm host, having seen the pilot in-person awhile back. :)

Or maybe Kaufman Astoria Studios.
