FOX Is Looking For Amateur Contortionists For Hole In The Wall

thumbnail icon: FOX Is Looking For Amateur Contortionists For Hole In The Wall

The only thing disappointing about news that FOX has ordered 13 episodes of the international smash game show Hole In The Wall, which is impossible to describe in words but instantly gettable in pictures, is the fact that it's not a "with the stars" kind of show. They're holding open casting calls in LA, Atlanta, and New York next month (how do you practice?), but personally, I really want to see Marie fucking Osmond try to twist and jump and contort her body into shapes before being knocked backwards into a freezing pool of water, not a regular person. If you haven't seen Hole In The Wall yet, it's probably the biggest innovation in game show technology since, uh, Moment Of Truth? But much more fun.

It's funny that they're playing Pink Floyd's The Wall in the background.

Japan has the best game shows. Nothing beats Ninja Warrior, though.

I never knew Fred Armisen was in Hole in the Wall.
