Laughing Stock
The Game Show Network is going to spoof the California Recall:
“Who Wants to Be Governor of California? The Debating Game” will include a political debate produced in the style of a game show, the channel announced Monday.
“Politics is the ultimate game and the California recall election is one of the most bizarre contests in American history,” Rich Cronin, president of the channel, said in a statement.
The channel said it is lining up five candidates to take part in the Oct. 1 program. The show will chronicle their campaigns and include a “wide-ranging” debate, including buzz-in answers and bonus questions, the channel said.
The five will compete for a prize of $21,200, the maximum corporate campaign contribution allowed by California law, the channel said. The prize will go to the candidate in the group who receives the most votes in the Oct. 7 recall election.
