Remember The Newlywed Game, where newlyweds showed us how well they knew each other via personal questions? Well Big Star Little Star, that debuts on USA Network tonight at 9p, is like that, but with celebrities and their kids instead of couples who recently got married. Which means we will get to know the celebrities better than we ever thought because their kids don’t yet know that there isn’t stuff they shouldn’t reveal on national television about their parents. Like which celebrity takes a poop every day at 7:30a like clockwork.
Cat Deeley hosts the game show and the new mom has as much with the children as she does the adults. We on the other hand have as much watching them as they have fun playing the game.
On tonight’s season premiere it is Todd Chrisley and son Grayson vs Marissa Jaret Winokur and son Zev vs Chad Johnson and daughter Cha’iel. You already know how Todd is as parent, and Marissa makes him look like a father of the year as she explains why she let her son pee in a bottle in the car. Next week, when it is David Ross and son Cole vs Teri Polo and daughter Bayley vs Howie Dorough and son James, you will find out which parent forgot to pick up one of their kids at school. Hint it is not the one who likes to drink wine. The following week, it Kenny Smith and son Malloy vs Nicole Sullivan and son Beckett vs Gilles Marini and daughter Juliana and we will get to see one of them made up with makeup thanks to their kid. The fourth episode has Joey Fatone and daughter Kloey vs Phaedra Parks and son Ayden vs Greg Jennings and daughter Alea. One of them will have their celeb crush revealed and I happened to let that celeb know about it. Whoops! The fifth week it’s Kerri Walsh Jennings and son Joey vs Mario Lopez and daughter Gia vs Christina Milian and daughter Violet. The final week has Harold Perrineau and daughter Wynter vs Brooke Burke and daughter Rain vs Penn Jillette and son Zolten. The stuff we learn about the stars will make you never look at the same way again. You will look at them as though they are you because this show shows us that they truly are just like us!
That is what makes Big Star Little Star so much for people of all ages. This is the family show we needed, we just didn’t know it until now! Don’t miss out on it because you truly will be missing something so very special. It will bring a smile to your face that just won’t stop. Don’t we need that right about now?
