America's Funniest man returns as companion for Howie Mandel.
Everything old is new again.
Bob Saget, the comedian who hosted ABC's America's Funniest Home Videos for seven years, is returning to TV in NBC's new game show 1 Versus 100. The series is being viewed as a potential companion piece to Deal or No Deal, NBC's game show starring equally '80s comic Howie Mandel.
In 1 Versus 100 one contestant is pitted against a group of 100 other people, both vying for a multimillion-dollar prize.
In Deal, contestants try to guess how much money is hidden inside a briefcase. It was NBC's highest-rated series in the 2005-2006 season.
Saget recently appeared in the film The Aristocats and last season guest-starred in HBO's Entourage. He produced, directed, and wrote the upcoming mockumentary Farce of the Penguins.
Saget was also the subject of the song "Rollin' With Saget" from comedian-turned-rapper Jamie Kennedy. Kennedy's attempts to get a record contract were chronicled in the MTV series Blowin' Up.

09/30/2006 13:59:39Yay. Good old horny Saget.. www.what.se ??
08/16/2006 08:20:52After watching The Aristocats, I've never seen him the same way again :)
08/10/2006 07:40:51haha bob saget. this is going to be very interesting...
08/09/2006 09:43:02just what tv needs lol lol Bob Saget.
08/09/2006 07:39:40Yeah, this will last.....
08/09/2006 06:55:48Also, don't forget that Saget is the voice of "Future Ted" on CBS' How I Met Your Mother.
08/08/2006 21:48:52I wonder if a chance at winning $3 million is going to entice viewership. From the sounds of it (http://news.usti.net/newsstory/living.tv/2/wed/ag/Uus-saget.RHB2_Ga8.html) I would think "knocking off" 100 or so contestants sounds a bit lengthly ... oh well.
08/08/2006 20:16:32Lol, Bob Saget.
08/08/2006 19:22:54Game shows are stupid...

08/08/2006 17:51:15uh,ZeoVGM? it would be nice if you stopped using the reporter's first name as if you knew him. especially since he already mentioned more things than any other news outlet.
08/08/2006 17:02:52Uh, Colin? It would be nice if you mentioned the current comedy tour that Saget is apart of: Opie & Anthony's Traveling Virus. He's making a deal to be on more dates as well.
