Just caught two episodes of Win Ben Stein's Money, a series that was done a few years ago for Comedy Central but which is now rerunning on Game Show Network. I forgot how much I enjoyed the show, especially the first three years when Jimmy Kimmel was the co-host. Mr. Stein was put on this planet to disprove the belief that Conservatives are never funny. His game show worked, in part because it was cleverly formulated and written but also because it was so real. Ben really liked the contestants but really wanted to beat them. Ben was really amused by about 80% of what Kimmel said and really mortified by the rest. The part about winning "Ben Stein's money" was a little fake inasmuch as it implied that he put up $5000 of his own money each day and kept whatever the contestants didn't get. (You had to read the fine print to understand that it didn't work quite like that.) But the show managed to be funny and a legitimate game show at the same time, and I can't think of many programs that have achieved both at the same time. It's back in reruns and I've taken a Season Pass on Ye Olde TiVo. You might want to give it a peek.
