Six Celebrity Reality Show Ideas Better Than Celebrity Circus

June 18th, 2008 by NextRound in Humor, Television

With the advent of Celebrity Circus it is becoming painfully clear that TV networks are beginning to run out of ways to exploit D-minus celebrities for cheap ratings. Luckily we have some ideas.

(Editor’s Note: The term “celebrity” will be used in the loosest sense imaginable for the remainder of this article.)

1) Celebrity Migrant Worker

Premise: 10 “celebrities” compete over who is the superior unskilled laborer. Every episode contestants will work a different minimum wage job and America will vote off the contestant with the poorest performance. Gigs will include but not be limited to: janitorial work, drive-thru window operation, picking cotton, and finding jobs via the Home Depot parking lot.

Tagline: “They’ve proven they can steal your hearts, now find out if they can clean your toilets.”

Dream Contestant: Any Hills cast member.

2) Celebrity Casting Call

Premise: “Celebrities” having a difficult time finding work in Hollywood receive unsolicited calls to audition for fake feature film roles with some of Hollywood’s A-list stars. Improv actors pose as casting directors and push contestants to humiliating limits to land the role.

Tagline: “What actress will drink her own pee to share the big screen with George Clooney?”

Dream Contestant: Denise Richards.

3) Celebrity Stuntman

Premise: 10 “celebrities” with nothing to lose compete to see who can cut it as a Hollywood stuntman. Every episode contestants will attempt increasingly difficult stunts and America will vote off the poorest performance. Stunts will include but not be limited to: car jumping, crashing through pane glass, wrestling great white sharks, and being set on fire. All contestants will be required to sign a waiver releasing the network of any liability in the case of their deaths.

Tagline: “Guess which Saved by the Bell star has the biggest brass balls?”

Dream Contestant: Corey Haim and/or Corey Feldman.

4) Celebrity Adult Film Studio

Premise: Hard on their luck “celebrities” form two production crews in a battle to see who can make the superior porno. Contestants are not required to star in the film but they must manage day-to-day production responsibilities like art direction, scripting, sound editing, and fluffer supervision.

Tagline: “They know how to make you laugh, but do they know how to turn you on?”

Dream Contestant: Elizabeth Berkley.

5) Celebrity Jailbait
