Craig To Pitch New Game Show Later this month, Craig Ferguson will be filming a pilot episode for a new game show he hopes to bring to a television network near you. The show, called The Time It Takes, asks contestants to answer as many questions as they can in a given period of time. But instead of answering questions against the clock, they must pick their own timer from a series of silly challenges performed by celebrities. “Would it take longer to suck up 5,000 frozen peas using a vacuum cleaner than to take the wrappers off ten CDs?” might be one of the choices. The show’s format was already in development for the BBC, hosted by British comedian Joe Lycett, and has been commissioned for eight episodes in the UK. The first series of the UK version is set to be filmed in Glasgow on July 30th. Since the set and crew will already in place, it created an opportunity for the producers to record a test version for the American market with Craig as host. The show is seeking American contestants who are in Scotland this month. They’ll pitch the idea in the U.S., hoping to land either on a single network or in syndication. Craig won two Emmy awards as the host of the syndicated Celebrity Name Game from 2014-2017. We’ll be watching to see if the new game show gets a green light, and keep you up to date.
