Toy Designer Selects  "Game Show Host" Joel Langer
 
The New Voice of the Electronic Game "Prove It!"

The makers of Prove It! describe it as 'a game of questions and answers'  where the players try to out smart the others. But that's a little like saying chess is a game of funny shaped pieces, so allow us to elaborate. Prove It! is a raucous electronic game that's all about…um, well, it's all about the Bidding: 
 
Joel Langer Game Show Host asks players two types of questions:
 
Fast Fingers or Building. In the Fast Fingers round players must buzz-in and answer questions such as "Can you name five famous cowboys?" They must then prove it by giving a full answer before the automatic timer counts them out.
 
Things really heat up with the building questions; players must up the stakes and 'outbid' each other like in an a live auction. 
 
 "Can you name four types of pasta? What about Five? Six? Seven?"
 
The question continues to build until only one player has pressed their Yes button and has become the high bidder. That player then has fifteen seconds to Prove It!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Coming Soon to Huntley

"Dancing with the Seniors Live" Game Show

“Put on your dancing shoes” and be a part of a live Game Show where everyone performs for a chance to win Fabulous Prizes. We’ll also have a Fun Auction to raise money for Disabled Veterans.

The event, to be held at the Cosman Cultural Center in Huntley, will feature singing sensation Ron Hawkins a well known Chicago talent.

Contestants will have a chance to perform live on stage in front of their friends and community to win prizes and, not so incidentally, to show off their talents. Everyone can do something. Can’t dance? Try your talent in America’s first “Sit Down Comic” contest. Like singing better? How about the “Sing for Your Supper” contest?

Everyone’s welcome. Senior singles, senior couples, senior rooting sections. If you’re not a senior, come anyway, have some fun, and support our veterans.

If past successes are any clue, this event will be a huge success says Joel Langer, former producer and host of “The Hollywood Game Show” at Las Vegas’ Riviera Hotel. He noted that he produced “The Hollywood Game Show” this past January in Colorado Springs. The game show’s excitement and the pull of the charity auction that went with it drew big crowds and coverage from a local TV station. The gathering had the lure of an extravaganza complete with fanfare, the chance to win prizes, and an opportunity to support our troops. It inspired him to develop “Dancing with the Seniors Live.”
