Fox has put in an eight-episode order for "Slide Show," a sort of "Whose Line?" knockoff with celebrity and civilian contestants playing on a titled set--Steve Carell is involved as a producer on the show, but the format was created in France (as "Anything Goes") by Arthur Essenig, the guy whose cable talk show borrowed (or stole) some elements from Craig Ferguson's "Late Late Show," although original distaste was tempered by Essenig's insistence that it was an homage to SCG:
