A small milestone for Common Knowledge

GSN's new offbeat quizzer Common Knowledge has been drawing media notice where it counts...on the ratings charts at Show Buzz Daily.

The show has regularly scored over a half-million viewers in a late afternoon slot. Which means another homegrown hit for GSN. The network has been trying to wean itself off Fremantle and Steve Harvey's Family Feud. Now Common Knowledge has reached another small milestone: its first contestant story.

The contestants are married couple Michael Thorpe and Alexys Reno. They're the proprietors of the Blend Ultra Lounge in Lodi, CA. Along with the bar's DJ, Joshua Smith, they took their chances on Joey Fatone's test of arcane and goofy trivia. Oddly, Michael recalls the silence of the audience as the trickiest part of the taping...

The audience is directed by the producers, and so they tell them to cheer and laugh, and when they are watching you they are dead silent, which was intimidating.

It must not have been too intimidating. (If you've seen Common Knowledge, you know the released photo - see screenshot - is something of a spoiler.) Anyway, a watch party happens at the bar on Thursday, January 30. If the ratings hold up, they'll be watching with 500K+ others.
