Why I should be in charge of TV
I went to a halloween party last night wearing my only costume (a real costume from the movie Return to Snowy River). I couldn’t decide if I was going as an 1840’s landowner or Doctor Who (I had connies on). It was held in a friend’s opulently appointed sharehouse in Jolimont and full of very hip people talking about hip things, like bands I hadn’t heard of. Also, there was wine. It was fun.
At one point, standing on the fringes of a conversation between a guy dressed as Satan and a girl dressed as a maid (she may have been the help, it was a really nice house) I couldn’t help but notice that they were negotiating about something. And then I had the idea for the best gameshow ever!
Deal Or No Deal… With the Devil!
So there’s a bunch of suitcases with numbers on them all held by these models, right? And then you pick one and elimante the rest and the audince get to guess too and all of that. It’s a lot like the current Deal or No Deal. Come to think of it, joke-wise it’s a lot like the Gold Case bit from 30 Rock. But the twist in my idea is that all the suitcases are filled with scorpions! LIVE SCORPIONS!
And then there’s a fiddling contest and whoever wins that gets a golden fiddle.
I’m going to make millions.
I tried to find a clip of the Gold Case bit but instead YouTube gave me this.
