New Variety Talent Show to Start Crowd-Funding Campaign

[BigBigShowTV]

Remember the days when time in front of the television meant gut-busting and tear-inducing laughter, surprises, engaging scenarios and good ol’ fashion fun? No? Too far back to recollect, huh? What with all the drama, satire and “reality” that has gridlocked the airwaves over the past couple decades, fun and T.V. occupy opposite sides of the spectrum. Well, all that changes now as The Big Big Show makes its way to homes and networks across America. Executive producer and media maven Jim Campbell alongside host, Tommy Habeeb (Cheaters, Stag) and celebrity judges Andrew Dice Clay (Pretty In Pink, Blue Jasmine), Tom Green (The Tom Green Show, Freddy Got Fingered) and Tara Reid (American Pie, The Big Labowski) are taking the posh out of primetime talent shows and offering something as entertaining as it is absurd. Contestants on this laugh-out-loud television experience that has been likened to the mutant child of “American Idol” and “The Gong Show,” face not only the verdicts of celebrity judges and studio audience but those who fail to impress with their eccentric brands of singing, acting, comedy and entertainment are subjected to more than just brutal tongue-lashings and punchy criticism. The Big Big Show is the only talent show with consequences! Contestants whose talents don’t quite cut it face everything from catapults to the onslaught of a stress ball gatling gun in an hour of hilarity found nowhere else on T.V. Ridiculous? Maybe. Happening? Absolutely. With the help of a handful of investors and the dedication of Big Big Show’s production team, cast and crew, Jim Campbell and the gang have produced the pilot episode but, as anyone familiar with television knows – whether from a professional or consumer standpoint, it doesn’t end there. In response to their central dream of bringing fun back into American television and the financial requirements of realizing that dream, The Big Big Show team has placed their fate in the hands of the people they seek to entertain. With 80-90% clearance in United States television markets, The Big Big Show is ready to take off and, through the crowd-funding tool Indiegogo.com, the crew seeks to raise the donations necessary to produce a full 22 episode season. The Big Big Show’s staff boasts 15 years of television experience, creating, producing and playing essential roles in some of the most successful reality T.V. shows in American entertainment. With the help of the people, inspired by the same love of laughter as everyone involved, The Big Big Show will make a Big Big difference in the lives of its audience, contestants and creators.
