Which Fox Host Do You Prefer: Ryan or Cat?

BuzzSugar — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 05:45:46 -0700

Both of Fox's mega-hit reality competitions, American Idol and So You Think You Can Dance, have capable hosts at the helm.

Ryan Seacrest is a pro at steering a live broadcast and keeping the Idol judges panel on track. He sometimes veers into the lame joke territory, but mostly it's good fun.

On the other hand, Cat Deeley seems like the nicest person on TV and she has such pretty hair. Her voice soothes me and she seems to put the dancers at ease.

Which host do you prefer watching: Ryan or Cat?

First Look: Momma's Boys

BuzzSugar — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 08:30:46 -0800

So far, most of what Ryan Seacrest has touched has turned to entertainment gold - but will that be the case for Momma's Boys? The Seacrest-produced reality show, which is basically The Bachelor if the guys' moms were in the house, too, starts airing Dec. 16.

From the looks of the first clips, it's going to be a doozy. There's a lot of dramatic "Whose love will reign supreme - the girls . . . or the moms?" narration and scenes with crying moms telling their sons that none of the girls could ever be good enough. There's also one mom who's (um, how to put this delicately?) a little bit racist, and she's definitely not afraid to let her feelings show when the producers let her "catch" her son kissing someone she finds undesirable. Yikes. Besides that, there are just so many awkward scenes, like one where the mom climbs into the pool alongside her son and the girl he's hitting on. It's trainwreck TV at its best - or worst, depending on how you feel about that sort of thing.

Do you think you'll give Momma's Boys a shot? To watch a clip of Seacrest and his mom talking about the show, plus an extended trailer with a lot of footage from the season, just read more.

Ryan Seacrest: Momma's Boy

BuzzSugar — Mon, 12 May 2008 15:30:21 -0700

NBC might have made most of its big programming announcements early, but that doesn't mean the network is staying out of the spotlight entirely at this year's upfronts. Today, the network announced it will team with Ryan Seacrest for a dating show called Momma's Boys, in which a group of mothers will attempt to choose the appropriate mates for their eligible-bachelor sons.

According to NBC, the show will pose the ultimate question: "Who is really the most important woman in every man's life?"

Conflict results when numerous mothers and their eligible bachelor sons are housed together with several "brides-to-be." As the tension mounts, viewers will watch the controlling mothers search for their son's perfect mate.

The press release also describes the sons as "complacent" . . . so yeah, sounds like these ladies will end up with quite the catch.

Seacrest is only on board to produce - not host - at the moment, but that didn't stop him from waxing poetic about his own momma in the press release: "Anytime I make a decision either personally or professionally, I have to ask myself . . . what would my mother say? Like it or not, I am a true momma's boy."

Would you check out this dating series, or is it all just more of the same?

Will You Watch Denise Richards' Reality Show?

BuzzSugar — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 10:30:55 -0800

It has been rumored that Denise Richards would get her own reality TV show for a while now, most notably back when Charlie Sheen was fighting her in court to prevent her from putting their kids on television. Well, apparently she won that battle because the reality show will move forward on E!, with Ryan Seacrest producing.

The show "will focus on Richards' life as a single mom (and tabloid staple) following her high-profile divorce." E! exec Lisa Berger claims, "At the core of this series is a resilient single mom who is trying to get her life back on track."

Will you tune in to watch Richards and her kids "get back on track"? Or is this just more reality show trash?

Caption It!

BuzzSugar — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 07:30:05 -0800

Welcome to Caption It, a new game on BuzzSugar! Every other Wednesday, I'll post a funny TV or movie photo here and challenge you to think of the most hilarious caption possible. I'll announce the finalists the following Tuesday, and you'll get to vote for the best caption; the winner will get a fabulous BuzzSugar T-shirt!

I certainly didn't expect a tie in our first-ever Caption It poll, but that's exactly what happened: Karla Sugar's "What do you mean 'it came from the American Pie soundstage'?" and alynn's "Welcome to Madame Tussauds. Can you spot the real dish?" deadlocked the voters, so in the end, they're both getting BuzzSugar T-shirts!

Now, here's your next challenge, from an audition episode of American Idol:

Leave your captions in the comment space below before 5 p.m. PST on Monday, Jan. 28 to be considered for a spot in the voting round. Have fun! To see a photo of the BuzzSugar T-shirt, just read more.

Seacrest to Produce Hasselhoff Comedy for E!

BuzzSugar — Wed, 26 Sep 2007 12:40:12 -0700

You have no idea how hard it was to write that headline with a straight face.
But it's true: Ryan Seacrest will be producing "Tales from the Hoff," a scripted comedy for E! focusing on a fictional character who bears a striking resemblance to David Hasselhoff. Unsurprisingly, the character will be played by the Hoff himself.

You're kidding.
Nope. Here's more: The series "will follow the fictional dark and twisted trials and tribulations of an international icon as he navigates Hollywood and the world of dating after divorce." Hm, don't you think "international icon" is overstating the case? Maybe a bit more realistically, Varlety notes that the series "also will explore the fictional icon's attempts to reinvigorate a career steeped in the past."

Insiders say the project "will have a 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' feel.
Well, it certainly does make me squirm ...

How on earth did they get this idea?
Apparently, the project "stemmed from conversations Hasselhoff had with friends about how his life might inspire an interesting TV show." Oh. So that's all it takes.

What Do You Think of Ryan Seacrest's Hosting So Far?

BuzzSugar — Sun, 16 Sep 2007 17:19:57 -0700

The 2007 Primetime Emmy Awards are officially underway! We heard rumors that host Ryan Seacrest might be performing a little song-and-dance routine, but so far, the only singing on stage has come from the animated cast of "Family Guy." Still, all eyes will be on Seacrest tonight to see how he makes the transition from hosting "American Idol" to hosting the Emmys. How do you think Seacrest is doing as host so far? Be sure to check back later tonight for more great polls on Buzz!
