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.

Bob Saget is a charming host and wonderful ad-libber. He'll make this show alot of fun to watch. He's got a great talent for comedy.
Yay. Good old horny Saget..
www.what.se ??
After watching The Aristocats, I've never seen him the same way again :)
haha bob saget. this is going to be very interesting...
just what tv needs lol lol Bob Saget.
Yeah, this will last.....
Also, don't forget that Saget is the voice of "Future Ted" on CBS' How I Met Your Mother.
I 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.
Lol, Bob Saget.
Game shows are stupid...
interesting
uh,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.
