The Fonz to be Hollywood Center Square
http://groups.google.com/groups?dq=&...s%26start%3D25
VARIETY... It just may be happy days for the Whoopi Goldberg-less "Hollywood Squares" as Henry Winkler rides behind the scenes for the faltering game show's fifth season. Joining the former Fonz as a fellow "Squares" executive producer will be Michael Levitt, best known for producing "The Billboard Music Awards" and "The Blockbuster Awards" for four years each. The duo replace showrunners John Moffitt and Pat Lee Tourk, who were let go by "Squares" distributor King World days after Goldberg revealed earlier this month she was leaving as the show's center square. King World CEO Roger King joked that he gave Winkler -- who's never run a game show before -- the job because "he's the Fonz, and he threatened to beat me up!" Winkler and Levitt were actually brought on because of their Hollywood connections, he added. Tracking 24% below its season-to-date performance this time last year, the game show "is dying," admitted King. He said he's open to a "Squares" reunion of Fonzie and the gang. He promised the new center square will be as A-list as Goldberg and said he expects to decide in the next few weeks. Winkler's main focus these days is TV production via his Fair Dinkum shingle. -------------------------------------------------------- http://www.geocities.com/tmc_6882/Ha...?1019542163990 http://www.geocities.com/tmc_6882/Bookworm.html http://www.geocities.com/tmc_6882/CutiePie.html [/B][/QUOTE] |
