CBS Ramps Up Reality Offerings

BURBANK, January 14: CBS has ordered three new
alternative/reality offerings for broadcast later this year, including one from
Ashton Kutcher and Jason Goldberg of MTV’s Punk’d fame.

Kutcher and Goldberg’s Game Show in My Head is a hidden-camera game show in which contestants
wear an earpiece as they go about life in the city and are instructed by the
host back in the studio to do stunts. If the contestants can perform crazy,
outrageous and often embarrassing tasks in public, they can go home with big
money. It is from fox21 and produced by Hat Trick Productions and Katalyst
Films.

Secret Talents of the Stars, from Robyn Nash and Don Weiner for Magic Molehill Productions, is a
biweekly celebrity talent show. Stars will compete in a tournament-structured
format to determine who has the best hidden talent.

Executive produced by R.J. Cutler, America’s Top Dog features owners and their pets competing for a big
cash prize. It is from Magic Molehill Productions.
