TV Squad: Andy Richter Nearing Deal to Host 'Pyramid' Reboot http://www.tvsquad.com/2010/05/28/andy-richter-pyramid-cbs/
According to the LA Times, funnyman Andy Richter is finalizing a deal to host an updated version of the classic game show 'Pyramid.' CBS is expected to slot the reboot in daytime, possibly in October after 'As the World Turns' ends its run. This is the latest attempt by CBS to resurrect the long-running series. Two pilots were previously shot -- one with Dean McCain and another with Tim Vincent -- but failed to capture the spirit of the original series. CBS also tried in vain to entice 'Deal or No Deal's' Howie Mandel, as well as Emmy-winning actor Brad Garrett. CBS has yet to announce if it will pick up 'Pyramid.' If it does, Richter will be pulling double-duty, as Conan O'Brien's new late-night talk show is set to kick off Nov. 8 on TBS. In addition to developing 'Pyramid,' CBS also has a couple of other new daytime shows in the mix. There's a female talk show a la 'The View' with Julie Chen and possibly Sharon Osbourne, as well as an Emeril LaGasse cooking show. --- I know Pyramid is something of a hallowed topic here, so...thoughts? -- TV or Not TV ....
