They should change the format and call it 20 Questions.

Better yet, call it 14 Questions. Oh wait, that would be Millionaire.harrumph wrote:They should change the format and call it 20 Questions.

Re: "500 questions" is casting for season 2
Just got a note that "final casting decisions" were made today for Season 2.
I won't be part of it, but that's okay. Auditioning was fun, and the casting coordinators were quite nice and very forgiving with my schedule limitations (I live on the East Coast and work an afternoon/evening schedule -- not friendly for LA casting offices).

Good luck to any of the other boardies who got The Call!

Based on the format changes, I doubt we break 400 questions (just like last year).

Re: "500 questions" is casting for season 2
The only "official" thing about a new host I've heard about was from one of the threads a casting person posted on Reddit. I imagine we probably won't learn more until they start promoting the show in a few months.dhkendall wrote:I'm sure I read/heard somewhere that there is confirmed a new host for Season 2.Austin Powers wrote:Definitely a new host.Vermonter wrote:And a new hostBamaman wrote:There were several boardies last time, hope to see more this season.

Yes. That is why I said definitely a new host. You haven't heard of this person so don't bother asking who it is. Will be better than Quest though that doesn't say much.dhkendall wrote:I'm sure I read/heard somewhere that there is confirmed a new host for Season 2.Austin Powers wrote:Definitely a new host.Vermonter wrote:And a new hostBamaman wrote:There were several boardies last time, hope to see more this season.

Re: "500 questions" is casting for season 2
I didn't mind Quest as much as everyone else and he might have gotten better with some coaching and constructive criticism from the producers. But a new host is fine with me.
One change I do hope they make is to make the "challenger" more involved in the game. They really didn't have much to do other than pick a category if the champ got two in a row wrong or if they had the thing where they had to make a list of something.

Taping is complete. New host is Dan Harris.
There will likely be controversy about an unethical decision the producers made with respect to casting. I'll leave it at that.

Re: "500 questions" is casting for season 2
The Wikipedia page for the show has end of S1 player Richard Mason returning for season 2, so that has to be true. It must be something else.VoluptuousLoser wrote:Taping is complete. New host is Dan Harris.

Yep, that guy. He was supposed to host last year, too.
