Thirty years after TV’s Bloopers and Practical Jokes debuted on television, it is coming back to TV this fall as Bloopers! According to Broadcasting & Cable the show has been sold into weekly syndication for 3 years with a 120 episode order. If you are not familiar with the show, they aired bloopers from TV shows and movies, and also played practical jokes on celebrities. Since it has been a while since the original series ended and video cameras are a lot more accessible to everyone they will be adding a segment for user-generated videos. What that means I don’t know, but we will have to wait until the show comes on the air.
They do not say who will host it, but why do I have a feeling that Ryan Seacrest will take over for Dick Clark and the late Ed McMahon? Could be because he keeps inheriting Dick Clark’s duties as host. If I could pick a host it would be either Jimmy Kimmel, Neil Patrick Harris or Tom Bergeron, but since all three of them have day jobs I doubt they are available. Who do you think would be a good host for this show?
BTW I can’t begin to tell you how happy I am that Bloopers is coming back to TV. I thoroughly enjoyed the show as a kid and I know I will enjoy it even more as an adult. Is it wrong of me that I love to watch people screw up?
