THE $100,000 PYRAMID (2017)-MY REVIEW
Well, with his 56 different jobs, ABC somehow got Michael Strahan back to host another batch of episodes of The Pyramid this past summer and fall. And I think he must have decided to bring all of his athlete besties with him and not so surprisingly the show suffered because of it. Yeah, it's funny to see one football player totally shit the bed because he's obviously never played the game before but after seeing football player after football player do this I wanted Dick Cavett back in the worst way. At least they had a few trained players like Kathy Najimy (who was also a contestant in the 1980s) to class up the joint a bit. And, yes, they didn't fool around with the basic game structure but the producers would be wise to try and have the novices play some practice rounds first. My rating for this season is a B-. Try harder!!!
