Here's a list of washed-up celebrities who will be starring in reality shows this fall...
Mr. T, Gene Simmons, Tommy Lee, Fred Willard, Todd Bridges, Danny Bonaduce, Christ Knight, John O'Hurley, Kelly Monaco, Farrah Fawcett, William Shatner, Barry Williams, Adam West, Dave Coulier, tom Arnold, Bruce Jenner, Deborah Gibson and Kathy Griffin.
There are probably many more, but my ability to research for this list is making my blood pressure go dangerously high.
I'd like to note that I'll cut Fred Willard some slack because he has been in many very funny movies such as Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show and A Mighty Wind. This is obviously a case where his manager made him sign something without reading it first.
Now, I'll be the first to admit that I was always a fan of Hollywood Squares and fully enjoyed seeing washed-up celebrties attempt to read pre-written jokes. However, seeing these people coming back time after time while at the same time knowing how many talented newcomers can't even get started is beginning to drive me crazy.
Okay, you're right, it drove me crazy a long time ago. Touche.
Once again I propose to the father of reality TV, Mark Burnett, to do a reality show where comedians have to hunt down network executives and bring back their decapitated heads. Whoever gets the most heads by the time the mid-season replacements start, wins 1 million dollars.
I'd have a slight advantage on the show because I already have three head's of network execs on my mantle, but they look so good there that I'd promise not to use them for the show.
Okay, gotta go shine the heads.
