Watch Maria Bamford Make Up Voices for Realtors and James Adomian Arm Wrestle Guy Branum on Talk Show the Game Show

April 19, 2017

Talk Show the Game Show is bringing talk show games to a whole other level as evidenced by these clips of Maria Bamford having to use her voice talents to bring pictures of realtors to life and James Adomian going head-to-head with Guy Branum in an arm wrestling match (with a spectacular finish we might add).

Also, unlike the majority of other talk show and late night games, the points and winners do matter and have a whole set of judges that keep them accountable to being the most entertaining guest throughout the evening. Again, we hope this revolutionizes playing games with celebrities on television going forward. 

By the way, there’s a new episode of Talk Show the Game Show with Guy Branum tonight on TruTV at 10PM.

The competitive talk show, Talk Show the Game Show, from the brilliant mind of Guy Branum, officially goes from live show to full fledged TV series tonight at 10PM on TruTV.

We highly recommend you watch it and see talk show guests be whipped into shape when every single detail of their appearances gets judged on a thorough point system. Hopefully, you’ll want all talk show appearances to be conducted like this after watching it.

Guy Branum’s competitive talk show, Talk Show the Game Show, is going to be a full-fledged TV series on TruTV next month. 

For the uninitiated, Guy created a brilliant show format where guests have to compete to be the most interesting talk show guest, complete with a panel of judges. It’s been one of our favorite things to see in LA for years. 

Going from live show to TV show, Talk Show the Game Show is now being kicked into high gear with more exciting bells and whistles as shown in this trailer.

The first season will have the following folks go head-to-head in trying to edge out each other in being more interesting, witty, fun, etc.: 

John Salley vs. Tiffany Haddish vs. Dan Bucatinsky
Wanda Sykes vs. Scott Adsit vs. Pandora Boxx
Maria Bamford vs. Ben Roy vs. James Adomian
Diablo Cody vs. Moby vs. Arden Myrin
Tim Bagley vs. Rashad Jennings vs. Beth Stelling

TruTV Renews Adam Ruins Everything, Orders Guy Branum’s Talk Show the Game Show to Series, and Is Developing Projects from Austin Martinez and Martin Starr and Matt Bush

Many of you don’t even know the greatness that’s about to come with Guy Branum’s Talk Show the Game Show being made into a TV show, but, hopefully, you’ll know soon enough thanks to TruTV.

Today, via press release, TruTV announced its upcoming slate of programming and development that happened to have plenty of things that have us excited for the network in 2017.

With a Trump Administration looming, Adam Conover and his ‘bigly’ tendency to ruin things will be very nice to have for a sixteen episode second season of Adam Ruins Everything.

Guy Branum’s Talk Show the Game Show is a competitive talk show where guests have to compete to be the best, most interesting guest dealing with the sharp wit of host Guy Branum. It’s a gem here in LA that we’ve enjoyed for years and we can’t wait for the rest of the country to see what happens when guests can just rely on the story of their weird ride to the airport to get through a late night segment.

Sketch duo Austin Martinez got to incubate on Rachel Dratch’s Late Night Snack on TruTV and will now get upgraded to developing a series of their own. An animated family marijuana dispensary comedy from Martin Starr and Matt Bush is also in development.

In addition to that upcoming Bobcat Goldthwait anthology series, TruTV could have a pretty great 2017.
