Game shows provide a basic human drama that resonates with viewers, offering them a sense of participation and investment in contestants' successes. Traditionally simple in premise, many contemporary adaptations have aimed to modernize the format, blending trivia with spectacle. A notable example is Greg Gutfeld's upcoming series, 'What Did I Miss?', where contestants isolated from the outside world must interact with current events. The contrast of sequestered contestants raises questions about their responses to headlines after prolonged disconnection from society.
The simpler a game show premiseâguessing the cost of basic household items, answering multiple choice questions in a spooky roomâ the better.
In the new series, Gutfeld quizzes contestants on the headlines, but these contestants have been sequestered in upstate New York for three months.
