Hannibal Buress Brainstorms Covid-19 Game Show Ideas

Do you write, write? Do you like sit down and write your stand up? Or do you just like have ideas and work them out on stage? Uh, a little bit of both. Yeah, I'll write some and then just have some some ideas. Here's here's my here's my Covid game show idea. It's you get four people, line them up, put masks on them. And it's a it's a game show called Who Set That? Because everybody got a mask on, you know, who set that? And then my other one is a bad joke. You got to get these out your system before you hit it. Now the you know, is everybody's wearing masks. The the bank robbers got a right robber on his mask. You've been spending a lot of time alone. This is strange. You know, folks, Covid is crazy. What is this obsession with becoming a game show host that you have in your special? It's not an obsession. It's just trust me. I've done it. Yeah. Don't do it. It's not an obsession. It's just it's just kind of, you know, that's the career path. Yeah. That happens. And I have been offered a lot of game shows and I say not yet. They come with a large cheddar. Yeah. They haven't made it undeniable for me on the game show side yet. If I was in the same position I was when I took Fear Factor, I'd take it again because it changed my life, changed my life, gave me freedom, like real freedom. But it's job. There's a big difference between doing that and doing stand up. When you just stand up, you're having fun. When you're doing Fear Factor, sometimes you're having fun. But it's a job. You're working. It was a great job. Don't get me wrong. Yeah. Very thankful. I think on the game show side, I really just got to put my energy into who said that. The COVID game show. What if Steve Harvey retires from Family Feud? That's an easy one. I would do Family Feud. I would do Family Feud. It's an easy one. No. It's an easy one. Survey says. I remember back when Richard Dawkins told you. Didn't you in the airport and just people asking you random shit? Good point. Ding. Good point. And then they just, you know. What about Drew Carey's got prices right? That's an easy one. It looks easy. I don't think it's just, I don't think it's for me. I enjoy some of them, but just me and what I think as a regular gig, I got to be the one creative. Think about the Drew Carey thing though. Who said that? Drew Carey seems like he's just stacking money. He's stacking money like no one even knows about it. Pat Sajak. Will fortune has been on for my entire life. Right, but Pat Sajak's not a comic. What did he do before Will fortune? He didn't do anything. He was born on the set. He grew up there. He's been doing that forever. He's not a comic though. Maybe he was at one point in time, maybe. I don't think so though. He's not a comic. You ever heard of Pat Sajak? He was a former weatherman and talk show host. There you go. Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, so he hit the jackpot. But who else? What other comics have done game shows? Howie Mandel. Howie. He's done a gang of them, right? He had that one, Deal or No Deal. Hit more than one, right? And he did, oh, that was Deal or No, that was Deal or No Deal. I was thinking of something else. Deal or No Deal was a winner. Why did they ever stop that show? They might, well, not live now. I think they were touring it, I think. I don't know if it's, I mean, it might, moved to CNBC instead of prime time TV. It's still being produced all the time. Who wants to be a millionaire still on TV? See, I don't think I've quite sold you on who said that. So let's really dive inside of concept. Okay, four people wearing masks. Four people wearing masks. Somebody says something. I would like it if one of them was COVID positive. One of them COVID positive. Why? Just for the fuck, right? Just for the fuck. Of the stakes. That's season three. When people get bored. Yeah, season three. Season three are COVID. But and then once somebody says something, but it's not much movement. Right. And you gotta, you gotta, you gotta just, yes. Yeah, you gotta guess. Who said that? 30 second episodes. You shoot 500 of them in a day. It's on YouTube. It's not a bad idea. Who said that? Was it him? Who said that? Was it Tim? Was it Tim? Jesus Christ. How high did you get before you came here? No, this is, this is me, man. CBD. It's the Killcliffe CBD. These are good, right? Very addictive. He's a smooth. Good for you. Yeah, I'm addicted to these. That actually is not a bad idea for a show. As long as they didn't, like you could guess. And especially if it's like they said things that were like closely related to what they did. Like maybe you can ask them what they did. Like, and then figure out who would say what. I think keeping it simple and quick for these short attention spans. Like, and then maybe that's somebody that becomes a legend on the show. And they just kind of, it's somebody, and maybe it's scripted, maybe it's real. But it's somebody say, who said that? Boom! And they say, whoa, that was fast. They just know. This episode's over. Intro's longer than the episode. Intro's 15 second episode, four seconds. Now, move on. Let me know how this sells. I'm gonna, yeah. Take it out. I'm gonna take it out onto, you know, the video conferencing circuit. Just different, do some meetings.
