First Photos Of Guy Fieri On “Minute To Win It” Set
 |
A few weeks ago, we announced that Guy Fieri would soon be hosting a prime time game show on NBC. In case you missed it, this was basically our reaction:
The show, originally titled Perfect 10, has been renamed Minute To Win It. Here’s your first look at the set, courtesy of Guy Fieri’s twitpic:
So what have we learned? Nothing, except Guy Fieri shows up dressed like a waiter, and the studio audience looks bored to death.
Minute To Win It features people winning money for successfully completing tasks with everyday household objects. According to the Hollywood Junket, tasks given to competitors on last week’s taping included:
Pulling tissues out of a box with one hand; hitting three soda cans off of another one with a ball of yarn; sucking M&Ms candy up with a drinking straw and placing them atop other straws; riding a bath rug around an obstacle of bath instruments one of which was a toilette plunger; pulling-up M&Ms candy placed on top of a pencil with two strings; and one contestant’s feat was to move cookies into her mouth using only her face muscles.
Sucking up M&Ms through a straw? Moving cookies using only facial muscles? Wow. That sounds… LAME. Maybe I was wrong. It sounds like Guy Fieri IS the perfect person to host this imbecilic show after all.
Minute To Win It premieres on March 14th at 8 PM on NBC. That’s a Sunday, and Sundays have traditionally been the kiss of death with respect to game shows. Why? Because that’s grandma’s favorite TV hour, folks! And she wants to watch Amazing Race, not a middle-aged douchebag encouraging a woman to move a pile of M&Ms with her left breast.

I give it maybe two weeks. Bob Barker himself couldn’t save this piece of crap. Compared to this, “Match Game ’76″ was high art and deserving of an armload of Emmys. Geez…
Please don’t insult Match Game like that! :D
Match Game was epic. Never insult Match Game.
Match Game was absolutely beautiful.
Dumb Dora was so dumb that she watched this and blanked.
I wasn’t insulting Match Game, or at least I didn’t think I was. I loved that show when I was a kid! I just meant that this ridiculous farce makes Match Game look even BETTER. Sorry if I came across differently. For heaven’s sake, Brett Somers and Charles Nelson Reilley are a part of who I am today, not to mention Gene Rayburn who I happened to think was really hot…hey, I was, like, ten. What did I know?
Man, get off my Gene Rayburn, Charles Nelson Reilly and Richard Dawson!! Gene’s phalic microphone is the best! I wear brown suits now in honor of Gene!!
Everytime I see Doucheboy, he’s wearing those black jeans with something on the right leg. Looks like he dribbled gravy or some other crap down his leg while stuffing his face and didn’t bother to change.
What a waste of time, energy and oxygen. I give it six shows and buh-bye.
NBC should be ashamed of themselves. Sounds like only morons
and feebleminded people would be entertained by this “gameshow”.
That goes for most of the shows on TV on any network at any time nowadays.
of course they should be ashamed. there highest rated show is the biggest loser
The “tasks” sound like activities planned for a six-year-old’s birthday party. I hope they add “carrying an egg in a spoon” and pin the tail on the jackass. Oh, that would be Guy.
I can’t believe Ferry is wearing long sleeves; how can he show off his sweatbands and tats?
Hopefully one of the tasks will be “who can kick the backwards glasses off the host’s head while wearing heavy combat boots”
I want to do that! Pleeeaaase!!!
I love your idea, Gypsy!
I would purposely miss.
Ho lee crap. WTH? Succeeding at these tasks, and presumably others like them, equals winning? Winning at what? Definitely not life. At least this show got Ferry out of flip flops. For the time being.
in a game of losers….there are no winners.
I especially like the virtual audience seated behind the infomercial-sized, real audience.
Could it BE any more obvious?
Gag me with a spoon. Is that one of the tasks?
The game sounds a lot like The Cube in England. Only, there isn’t a cube.
And check out that 2nd picture. There’s a painted audience in the background? I need to look at more game shows. Do they do that a lot? or ?
I also heard that the audience was paid to be there.
That’s totally a fake audience in the background. It’s designed to fool TV viewers at home into thinking the set is more grand than it really is.
Also, I read that contestants are told what their stunts are going to be UP FRONT, and they can practice them at home as much as they wanted! That sort of takes the fun right out of it, no?
Isn’t this just like an adult version of Double Dare? Hey, where’s Marc Summers!
Do you think Marc Summers had a hand in this ? Afterall, he and Fee-Numb Nuts are pals right ?
So its a really shitty version of Beat the Clock?
Sounds like this show is nothing more than a broadcast of games played at a 5 year old’s birthday party. Riveting. Never mind “Minute to Win It”. It should be called “Colossal Waste of Time.”
Maybe NBC should put this on at 10:00 PM, because that time slot makes anyone look good.
And I heard there was an opening….
Sucking M & Ms… gathering tissues….
The freaking douche-osity of it all makes puppies and kittens yelp in fear.
You are right. Only Guy Ferry (A.K.A. Guy is a douchebag for the google indexes) could be so fucking lame as to willingly do this..
Well, well, well. Ferry as a game show host. You knew it would happen sooner or later. He’d also make a really swell used-car salesman.
Seriously? WHAT exactly is the draw regarding Ferry? He is on like EIGHTY SEVEN different shows…when ONE is way too many.
At least make this ‘game show’ interesting…Pin the Tail on the Douchebag, maybe?
He’d win that game every-time with his self-inflicted pokes.
Too true, Designer…perhaps it could become an HBO show then: ‘Mr. Ferry’s “How I Get Off” — A Journey of Self Inflicted Pain’.
That title was either Guy’s idea, or someone else’s idea for a way to cash in on Guy’s fame.
Only two words are needed to describe this show: TRAIN WRECK
I got to thinking about who the commericial sponsers could be…came up with a couple:
>Pepto-Bismol: “Nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, diarrhea…”;
>Excedrin: “the extra strength pain reliever”;
>Tide: “If it’s gotta be clean, it’s gotta be Tide”;
>Ray-Ban Sunglasses: “It’s safe to buy our brand ’cause Ferry doesn’t wear us!”
The makers of Pepto should make a new ad just for this. The tagline could be:
“Nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, Guy Fieri!”
LOL!! Excellent ideas!
NBC sucks M7M’s anyway, so I don’t expect anything less from them.
That should be M&M’s…..
Al from Home Improvement and Mr. Peterman from Seinfeld hosting Family Feud? Fine. Drew Carey hosting The Price is Right? Well, ok. Wayne Brady hosting Let’s Make a Deal? If you must. But why would NBC want this ignorant greaser to host anything? They’re overestimating his mainstream appeal and this show will no doubt bomb. Sounds like it would be painful to watch.
NICE JOB, NBC!
Your greatest success will always be your failures.
Conan got screwed by the powers that be and this is the best they can offer? Maybe Jay can take that timeslot when Guy gets cancelled but it may be too late.
NBC, proof that they can succeed by failing.
So it’s a remake of “Beat the Clock” played on the set of “1 vs. 100″.
What is even more surprising than Fieri hosting this piece of broadcasting diarrhea is that 3000 people had the day off to show up to attend as the “studio audience”.
NBC isn’t even scraping the bottom of the barrel, they’re digging up the dirt the barrel sits on.
Hmmm…airing on Sunday nights–that’s supposedly the BIG night of the week on FN. Do none of his lame ass shows air on FN at the same time? Wow, I could watch one and record the other for more vomiting good times later! I’m a big fan of the old game shows, but this just sounds sad.
I just saw an episode of Guy’s Big Bite where Guy’s mother was on the show. He made an excessive amount of jokes about how his mother likes to drink a lot. I can’t blame her though. If I gave birth to that I’d be an alcoholic too.
Come on now, I think it looks pretty cool!
I think this show looks awesome! I think its going to be a lot of fun! Cant wait for the premiere!
I’m with Brittney I think the games on Minute To Win It look really entertaining. And it’s cool cuz they’re the kind of games you can play too. Good job NBC.
Finally, an adult version of Double Dare! Now mentally-challenged adults will have something to watch on Sunday nights!
Show’s pretty good – so who is the douche now, eh?
Fake audience projected on the screen in the back is stupid, though.
[...] and bloggers alike are calling this show “lame” and “imbecilic,” claiming that the show itself is [...]
