Japanese Still Leading Lagging American Networks In Reality TV Technology


Given envelope-pushing Fox reality guru Mike Darnell’s recent contract extension and NBC rock star Ben Silverman’s proven track record of repurposing the very best of foreign television for American audiences, we expect a heated bidding war for the rights to Japan’s Joyous Marble-Smash Happy Funtime Challenge to begin momentarily. Our prediction is that Fox will prevail over the Peacock, and the late summer debut of the Jeff Foxworthy-hosted Can We Punch You In The Balls For A Hundred Dollars? will be an unqualified hit.
