You heard it here... ew.com/tv/2017/05/17/snoop-dogg-jokers-wild/Not content with just being an insult to music and a maniacal pothead, Snoop Dogg has been chosen for a revival of The Joker's Wild to air on TBS later this year with other gambling themes. I grew up with The Joker's Wild. I even was okay with the '90s version, although TTD '90 was just plain bad, but honestly? I think this is a giant turd going somewhere to happen. For a change, I'd like to be proven wrong. I don't think this will be very good, but hey, you know what? I'll watch it once to see what it looks like. I was pleasantly surprised by Alec Baldwin on Match Game.

Well, John Ricci Jr (who worked on the 2006 attempt) is onboard, so I'm hopeful. I'm just more confused than anything.

Opinions on TJW and TTD90 have softened over time, Joker more so than Tic. In the 90s, most of the opinions on the internet about those shows were not glowing. Mark Maxwell Smith, ALlen Koss, RIchard S. Kline, and Ron Greenberg who worked on 70s Joker are still alive but I doubt would be hired as a consultant. Koss and Kline aren't in the biz anymore, and Greenberg is 85.

Imagine being a contestant and getting a whiff of whatever Snoop smoked backstage. I'd hate to be a contestant on this version of the show for that reason alone.

Ah, can only imagine some of the category names. How many of them will end with "izzle"?

Sounds like it's going to be The Joker's High Rollers Gambit Street Smarts Wild.

I don't get a good vibe from the format but we'll see.

This honestly sounds more hilarious to me than anything else. I can't even get mad at it.
