Host chat

Buzzr will launch its first original October 20, and it's not a game show. But it's all about game shows.

Called Game Changers, the show features interviews with various people in our little genre. The link promises "Wink Martindale, Howie Mandel, Alex Trebek, Drew Carey, Todd Newton, Bob Eubanks..." Sure enough, the accompanying promo shows most of these gentlemen offering their thoughts on game shows.

Alex Trebek conducts most of the interviews, except the one where he gets interviewed himself. Maybe Pat Sajak was unavailable. The locations seem to be the hosts' homes, unless they built a really homey-looking set.

I vaguely remember that Vanna White is on the show, though she's not in this promo. Game Changers has been kicking around at Buzzr for a while, but it's finally got a debut date. The presence of hosts from non-Fremantle shows will naturally set off speculation about Buzzr acquiring other shows outside the Fremantle library. Who knows?
