It's getting easier and easier to become a millionaire, thanks in part to Drew Carey and Wayne Brady, each of whom is getting his own game show, says . Wayne Brady will host Fox's Don't Forget the Lyrics!, the karaoke show in which contestants sing along with a live band and a teleprompter until both stop and the singer has to go on a cappella and without lyrics. If the contestant can get through ten songs, he or she wins $1 million.
Drew Carey's show on CBS is called Power of 10, and sounds a bit like a more profitable Family Feud. "In Power," says HR, "contestants compete to accurately predict the results of nationwide surveys for a shot at $10 million grand prize that will be awarded to the person who correctly answers five questions." $10 million dollars for five questions? That seems like a bit much doesn't it? CBS should keep in mind that people will eat goat testicles on Fear Factor for a shot at a mere $50,000. They don't need to be giving away so much damn money for their easy-sounding game show.
