Wednesday I had the pleasure of watching the car wreck called Celebrity Circus. The show has a bucketful of who's who of the "I need money fast" d-list. The 'Celebrities' included Wee Man, Blu Cantrell, Stacey Dash, Janet Evans, Rachel Hunter, Christopher Knight, and Antonio Sabato Jr.. The supporting staff was no under achievers either. At host we have N'Sync ex-band member Joey Fatone while judging panel exhibits Mitch Gaylord, Aurelia Cats and Louie Spence.
First I like to say, being a child of the 70's and 80's, I have been privy to the TV show "Circus Of The Stars". I remember Animals, Clowns, Human Cannonballs and lots of Acrobats. This Celebrity Circus is more like Cirque de Soleil. I know they are working hard but it's kinda gay. Speaking of gay or more like annoying, Louie Spence, I cannot think of any words that describe him than fucking annoying.
The other stupid thing about this show, it's not an exhibit, it's a fucking reality show. You get to call in a vote on your favorite circus performer. That really takes the legitimacy of the performers now. It makes them seem desperate like Dancing With The Stars or Amazing Race. To be honest, I did record this show, having high hopes that I would like to watch it or rewatch it. I ended up fast forwarding through it when I got to the 48 minute mark.
I have to say, I have friends at NBC and I commented how they work for the best network. They asked me why. I said "The Office", "Chuck" and "30 Rock". They didn't think that was all-that. I understand why now. Think of it, "Knight Rider", "American Gladiators" and "Americas Neet Talent". Wow, Sunnertime is definitely here.
