TV's formerly bebowtied privileged punkdit Tucker Carlson is not hosting a pilot for a remake of Johnny Carson's 1950s game show, Who Do You Trust?
He is, however, hosting the pilot for a CBS game show.
We, taking our cue from the Showbiz Bible, garbled the title this morning when we reported on the Dancing with The Stars washout's latest blurring of the line between being taken seriously and admitting you're simply a showman-- as we and other influential media news sites learned this afternoon in an email from a CBS person:
FYI... The CBS pilot for Tucker Carlson is not a remake of the Johnny Carson show. The title was reported incorrectly by TV Week and Variety. Our pilot is entitled "Do You Trust Me?" Would you please correct that? Thanks!
So it looks like Tucker Carlson is hosting a pilot for a game show that's a remake of a game we used to play with our girlfriends.
