didn't actually get to see one in person, but I would imagine not. Most of the stuff on the set looked pretty hoakie in person. I remember being surprised at how different it all seemed on TV.


I have to stop reading this ama. This news about ruined my day

Yes, I'm damn near in tears over here watching this. Had a kid in my office that I let watch some of it with me and he says, "You guys had all the cool game shows".

Yes son. Yes we did.

Does Nick even do the kid's gameshows anymore? Seems like they'd be extremely cheap to do and were wildly popular.

the reddit ama also reminded me, how in the hell did some of those kids struggle with putting that monkey together? Even jumpin johnny struggled with it. That always bothered me

I was an assistant so they made me do whatever was needed. The funnest was that I ran the course over and over as a "contestant" while they tested it out. I also did this with many other Nick games shows, like Nick Arcade, Guts, the revised Family Double Dare, etc. I'm trying to think of some of the others...

I worked as the "Gakmeister" as well. We made all the slime, goo, pies, food items, etc., used in the shows. At one point in time, the "Gak Kitchen" was a stop on the Nick Studio tour, but it was a real functioning kitchen used while the shows were in production.

The recipe for the Green Slime is (at least it was then): --- Apple Sauce --- Cellulose (for the foamy part) --- Food Coloring That's it! P.S. it had to be edible in case anyone got it in their mouth

Also, on my breaks, I took naps on the Big Orange Coach a lot. Ha ha.

How much does an Olmec cost? Seriously, what's the street value of a '93 Olmec?

This is seriously my favorite Grantland article ever written. I honestly laughed out loud on numerous occasions.

the temple guards would never get away with their jagged approach to apprehending the young (particularly female) contestants nowadays

also, i always marvelled at the color coordinated water socks
