I'm always trying to come up that one idea that make me rich. Never forget, the concept for TV's What's My Line was thought up by two guys at a happy hour, and written down on a napkin.
These days, reality shows are in a growth mode, both network and independent. I mean, if Ice Road Truckers has an audience, then there is probably an audience that would watch water boil. Here are some of my ideas.
-
 CAVE-IN. Lesser and former celebrities are mixed with current celebrities trapped in a mine in Chile, with every moment on camera. Danny Bonaduce, Queen Latifah. Scotty Baio. Lindsay Lohan. Hosted by Gilbert Gottfried.
-
STUMBLING WITH THE STARS. Works like Dancing With The Stars, but with tequila shooters every 5 minutes, including two to start the show.
-
 HUMPING DeVITO. The leading men of various network shows compete with each other at humping Danny DeVito over a big hill in a wheelbarrow. DeVito is miked at all times. Imagine CSI Miami versus Law & Order SVU.
-
LOSER-BIO. Every week the career of a failed celebrity is highlighted. Different opinions on what went wrong, an update on what the former celeb is now doing, how they could have done better, what drugs were involved, and what a disappointment they are to their families, etc.
-
 STRAIGHT OJ. Get scared straight by OJ Simpson for 30 minutes every week. Uncensored discussions on losing your booty in jail.
-
Well, it's possible that none of those is my breakout hit, but I'll keep working at it.
