Just when we think that Bob Saget has moved into the realm of the cool, he reverts back to the lame-ass form he displayed through most of the eighties and nineties.Case in point: fresh off a career-changing appearance in the filthy-joke documentary The Aristocrats, and on the heels of directing the forthcoming satire Farce of the Penguins, Saget has been signed to host... a game show. Saget has signed to host NBC's game show 1 Vs. 100, based on a worldwide hit show that pits one contestant against 100 in a trivia contest. Because NBC sees this as a companion to Deal or No Deal, they figured they should follow the same formula: hire a stand-up comedian with some edge and a ready-made TV fanbase.
So, will we get a TV-fied version of the edgy Saget from the last few years, or the bland, unfunny Saget we saw on Full House and America's Funniest Home Videos? Who would you rather see?

I think Saget will get to let it loose a little bit with this show. If it's intended to follow Deal or No Deal it'll be on at 9:00pm, so it can be a little racier than an 8:00pm show. Plus I doubt a show with obscure trivia questions will attract as many younger viewers as a show that simply involves picking random numbers and featuring a couple dozen models in slinky dresses. Actually I doubt it will attract as many viewers over all because it really comes down to Bob Saget (one of the funniest mofos on the planet when he doesn't have to be concerned with what he's saying and merely clever when he does) vs. Howie Mandel (appealing though hardly edgy) and a couple dozen models in slinky dresses.
Winner? The show with a couple dozen models in slinky dresses.
Conclusion? Make sure Bob Saget's show has a couple dozen models in slinky dresses. In fact, make it a hundred models in slinky dresses, one for each of the 100 in the title of the show. I sure hope the NBC executives are reading this...
