I have just completed work on the new season (14 episodes) and I have to say it is LAUGH OUT LOUD funny. Even accounting for creative bias, Ricky Kalmon takes regular people off the street and unleashes their inner celebrity with hilarious results. We had operators almost drop their cameras because they were laughing so hard.
The people involved were completely hypnotized or they didn't make the cut. We interview them before and after the "bits" and they are all surprised at their subconscious ability to "go there".
We used some people several times because they had the ability to go under very deeply and be adaptable to any of Ricky's crazy suggestions.
We had a talented staff of writers that would come up with gags based on popular TV shows and/or celebrity reputations or incidents.
No faking...just funny. Airing on the TV GUIDE channel.
