In which "THINGS THAT ARE ENSHRINED" will be the first Winner's Circle category. Given how itchy game shows are to give away a mill these days, I wouldn't be surprised if "RED THINGS" is the TOP category. /Exaggerating, of course, but you get my point. |

Some personal wishes to see in this new show (aka: How I would run $1M Pyramid):
-WC: $25k on first try, $100k on second try; $1M tournament same as $100k tournament -$10,000 for 21-21 game -24/7: $2,400 for 7 out of 7 in round 1 -Mystery 7: Prize from $5,000-$12,500... that way cars can be included |

QUOTE (pianogeek @ Jun 2 2009, 07:55 PM) QUOTE (tpirfan28 @ Jun 2 2009, 07:49 PM) 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 doubt it will be Sony, as this is a Pilot for CBS, and the Sony stage is very small. I'm thinking either the CBS Broadcast Center or Kaufman Astoria Studios. I'd love to see it tape at the Ed Sullivan Theater, to bring Pyramid back to it's roots, but David Letterman may not be thrilled about that idea. On another note, I noticed the Dating Game Pilot is **ALSO** being taped in NYC, and the Pilot will shoot on 6/24. With the handful of shows already taping there, it looks like NYC Game Show Production is on the comeback ! Now, if we can only get the MoneyMaze Pilot to shoot in NYC, we'd be all set :) I cant wait to hear more about what Hosts are being considered for both shows. From the Ticket website, it looks like there will be 4 Pyramid tapings, and each taping has a blank for the Hosts name. I'm wondering if they will be shooting 4 episodes with different formats and/or Hosts. |

And to think Jon Lovitz, as the Tommy Flanagan, the pathologcial liar, came up with it as a joke.
"I won it on the fif-, hun-, uh, Million Dollar Pyramid. Yeah, that's it!" A million in DAYTIME? What, are they putting the fourth row back in? |

Well, they offer a million on WWTBAM. They seldom give it away, though. Maybe they could play it the same as always with the addendum that the top player could win the mil by answering the "Riddle of the Sphinx," which would be one of those old "Super Jackpot" riddles made impossible to get.
