Reality TV: Craziest Person In America

[Scott]

Just watched this show called THE CRAZIEST PERSON IN AMERICA tonight on FOX. It's like a cross between THE GONG SHOW and REAL PEOPLE. The compitition tonight was something else. The show is hosted by Steve Harvey.

1. A guy who blows himself up.
2. A French lady with turtles.
3. A guy who swallows a bent coat hanger while his female assistant wacks him behind the head with a toaster and I mean she really nails him. Then in a daze he pulls the hanger out of his throat.
4. A singing skunkman. A man who is half man and half skunk.
5. An old muscular man who gets run over by a truck.

The panel votes like in the GONG SHOW after seeing each act performed live before the television audience.

They also show clips of those who "aren't crazy enough" that didn't make the show. Maybe this is AMERICAN IDOL meets THE GONG SHOW. It was insane !  It was on TV Sunday from 9-10 pm on FOX.

They changed the name of the show to BIG TIME. Also it's on WB and not FOX. Sorry about the error. Well, anyway here are the tallies for tonights show.

30 points - Human Cannonball Sisters. They were shot out of two cannons across a parking lot and into a net. I've seen this in the circus a few times and it's always a great stunt.

29 1/2 points - Ice Breaker. Man breaks 6 blocks of ice with his head. Fair stunt often seen in the martial arts world.

28 points - Flaming Arrow Catcher. Man catches flaming arrow with bare hand. Quite amazing actually.

23 points - Marshmellow Catcher/Shooter. One man shoots mini marshmellow out of his nose while another man catches the flying marshmellow in his mouth about 15 feet away.

11 Points - Man who can manipulate his stomach, flip his tongue, and kick himself in the back of his head.

Well, the Human Cannonball Sisters spit the $10,000 cash prize on this weekly show that oddly just changed it's name to BIG TIME.

The problem with American television is that they don't recognize true talent, when they see it. This week I've had voted for the combination Marshallow Catcher/Shooter.  You don't see an act like that every day, while human cannoballs are a dime a dozen.

And last week I'd voted for the man who swallows a coat hanger, while getting hit in the head by a toaster. That's something I hadnit seen before. Though, there was something of a running gag by Snoopy   in "Peanuts," when anybody made a terrible pun in one of his stories, they were said to get creamed by a toaster. Though, once the toaster was changed to a waffle iron.
