I like Andy Richter, but I cant see him as Pyramid Host. Hopefully, it will work, and will keep an open mind. I think Howie Mandel would have been a great fit for Pyramid. It probably wont matter. I still believe that if Julie Chen shoots a good pilot, her show will get the order. I cant see a block of 30 minutes of Pyramid, and 30 minutes of Julie Chen happening. It's not a good pairing. It may be one or the other, though I suppose Emeril's Game Show is still in the mix. 30 minutes of Chen along with Emeril's Game show is a much better pairing. Funny how Embassy Row in NYC based, and is shooting the Pyramid Pilot in LA, and Freemantle is LA based, and shooting Emeril's Pilot in NYC... though I am sure the Hosts have much to do with that result. I have to believe Mr Davies would rather be taping Pyramid in NYC. Still, I think the odds aren't good. If CBS does not buy it, I believe Pyramid eventually finds a home. Perhaps Pyramid winds up in Prime Time, Syndication, or on ABC Daytime, if they cancel a Soap next year. Let's hope CBS finds a way to put it on the daytime schedule. Good luck to everyone at Embassy Row, and please dont change the format. Keep it classic !

Would it be funny if Freenantle shot Emeril's show in NYC, and Davies will apparantly shoot Pyramid (at least the Pilot) in LA ? Strange turn of events. I'd rather have Pyramid in NYC, but I will be rooting for Pyramid over Emeril.

If CBS plans to do two 30 minute shows, I do not like this idea, as Emeril's show, sounds like a terrible pairing for Pyramid. This sounds like a much better fit for the Julie Chen show. I have to see this as another negative for Pyramid. What happened to the possibility of a Press Your Luck or MoneyMaze Pilot. I like those options better.

I have a question for Alex : Were you able to find out why the show moved to LA ? Was this Carnie's doing ? I'm very surprised that Michael Davies was ok with that decision. Also, if there is to be a season 3, might the show move back to NYC ? Thanks !

Hi DeVares : FYI, a MoneyMaze Pilot is being shot in France for French Television (By an American Production company) in a month or two. If the show does well in France, there is a good chance they will attempt to launch a American version. MoneyMaze was one of my All-time favorite shows (and I attended many tapings in person at ABC in New York), so I'd love to see this incredibly under-rated Don Lipp show make a comeback. Stay Tuned !

I'm very disappointed, as I was also rooting for a revival of Pyramid. From all accounts, Mr Davies & his Embassy Row team, delivered an outstanding Pyramid Pilot to CBS. I believe that most of us felt very good about Pyramid's return to CBS. I feel bad for everyone at Embassy Row, and for Bob & Sande Stewart. I'm pleased that LMAD is returning, but my concern, is that I cant see LMAD as a 1 hour format. I guess the braintrust at CBS hasnt figured out that the 1 hour LMAD format failed miserably several years ago. I thought a Pyramid / LMAD block made perfect sense, but CBS thought otherwise. Go Figure. I sincerely hope that Mr Davies will find a home for Pyramid elsewhere. Please do not give up on this project !

They are supposedly shooting the Dating Game Pilot on July 14th, in New York.
