I was stoked to find a ginormous box waiting outside my office this morning, I’m not gonna lie. I made Marc Bernardin, who sits in the office opposite mine, come into the hallway to watch me open it. (He made references to The Toy – bonus.) It was a blow-up chair from GSN, promoting its new three-hour summer programming block, "Big Saturday Night." Because it’s probably the only time we’ll ever mention it on PopWatch, I’ll go ahead and pass along that it premieres June 13 and features two new game shows: 20Q, hosted by So You Think You Can Dance’s Cat Deeley and featuring the voice of Hal Sparks as the computer Mr. Q, and The Money List, hosted by GSN Live‘s Fred Roggin.
At first, we couldn’t understand why GSN would spend the money to ship the chair ALREADY BLOWN UP. But once we realized that Annie could turn it into her office if times get tough, we were so happy they did. (Seriously, she just needs to hang an Arrested Development poster on one of her "walls" and place a candy dish by her feet and she’s set.) Thanks, GSN.
FIRST!
Hee hee, love it.
GSN got their money’s worth by sending it fully blown up. They got you to write about what they wanted you to write about. Without the huge box, you wouldn’t have written about the chair. PR mission accomplished.
Oddly enough, I’d trade Annie/Mandi for that portable cubicle for the one I am in at work. More privacy, probably a lot quieter…
