While shows like The Voice and American Idol are looking for people who use their voices to wow us and So You Think You Can Dance seeks people to amaze us with their feet, SuperHuman showcases people’s talents that come from the use of their brains. Tonight at 9p on Fox, be prepared to be blown away by the extraordinary things people can do with their brilliant minds. Things like look at 2 huge walls full of the same matching colored tiles and figure out which of the three of those thousands of squares are not the same. That is just one of the amazing things that someone can do that you never thought was possible.
Each week, five people with skills in memory, hearing, taste, touch, smell, sight and more than that will show off their mind blowing talents, be judged by Mike Tyson, Dr. Rahul Jandial and Christina Millian and finally the audience will decide who will go home $50,000 richer.
While their pockets are getting bigger, so are our brains as we try to understand how they do the SuperHuman things that they do. It is a reality competition show unlike any other and you don’t want to miss the show hosted by Kal Penn.
Back when they were filming the show, I visited the set and spoke with Christina Millian. We talked about the show and what she has learned from it.
What attracted her to SuperHuman?
CM: I thought there was something special about it because it highlights our average every day person that realize they have these special skills. It is their underrated skills that put a spotlight on them.
Just to see these special skills that people have is pretty incredible and fascinating to be part of and watch in person.
What SuperHuman abilities stood out to her?
CM: I am learning that there are a lot people with great photographic memories. But I have seen some people do some interesting things with binary codes.
This young boy, he had all of these 4X4 squares and he added everything up to 182 with a bunch of random numbers. They said for over 3,000 years mathematicians have been having problems with the 4X4 box and getting a specific number. To see a kid 15 years old to do that like it was nothing is pretty fantastic.
What is her SuperHuman talent?
CM: I think my SuperHuman talent and what puts me on that stage is my ability to multitask. I focus on my passions and have no limit to do what I want to do and create full and complete strategies, teamwork, go from point a to point b. Of course, there is some difficulty but there is a lot of drive behind it.
Has she learned anything by doing the show?
CM: I am learning that actually there is a lot of different ways my memory could be used. I can actually associate something I normally would forget with something that is personal to me that way it is easier for me to remember.
Therefore, use your memory association to remember to watch SuperHuman every Monday for the next 8 weeks.
When we think of Jon Hamm, we think of him as the clean cut Don Draper. Well that and something else. Anyways before he was the most famous of the Mad Men, he was a struggling actor who needed other means of making money to survive. Yesterday, he told Willie Geist on Sunday Today, one of the exciting ways he earned a living for a short while. Like most young actors, he was working as a bartender when his friend told about a job he had just had to quit at the time. The guy told Hamm he was working as a “set dresser on like cheesy like Skinemax movies” and he could not do it anymore. Hamm being the man that he is, was like “I’ll do it.” He was like if it pays anything he will do it. Even though he did not anything about being a set dresser, he was willing to do it for a $100 a day. How long did stay doing? A total of three weeks. Why? He said, “It was bad…and depressing.”
I guess be careful what you want because you might just get it. Although, I wish they would have known then, what we know now because then he would have been a much different type of actor. One that would make me want to see all of his movies until the DVD was worn out. If you know what I mean. Granted, David Duchovny came out of that genre OK, Hamm could have done the same.

Have you ever wondered what Barney looks like under that purple dinosaur suit? David Joyner has finally came clean to Business Insider that he is the man who played him from 1991-2001.
Believe it or not, he got his degree in electrical engineer technology and worked at Texas Instruments for 6 years as a software analysis before becoming a live mannequin. Joyner’s family is clairvoyant, and on the way to audition he knew he was going to get the role that changed his live forever.
What was it like wearing that suit? It weighs 70 lbs. and can get to over 120 degrees inside of it. To make matters worse, he was not able to see anything when Barney’s mouth was shut. In order to prep for that, he would go home and practice picking things up with his eyes closed.
What go through him all of that? Tantra and spreading love. Love that was easy to spread thanks to Barney’s infamous and addictive song.
What is he doing now? After several guest starring roles on shows like Shameless, ER and That ’70s Show, he is back to wearing another costume. This time he is Hip Hop Harry, a rapping bear that is delighting kids on YouTube.
I don’t know about you, but I am happy to finally see what Barney really looks like. It is also cool to see that he is so much like the character he played. As in happy and spreading love because I love you, you love me…
Chrissy Teigen posted the above photo of her daughter and said, “Stealing john’s [Legend] photo haha she’s not even his anyway.” Is she revealing something we do not know about her husband? Considering Luna looks exactly like him, I think we can all agree she is his and his wife was making a joke.
