Baggage, debuting next month on US cable
channel the Game Show Network, gives three contestants the chance to win
the eye of a prospective date. The hitch? Contestants have to reveal
their faults and foibles.
Players will carry suitcases on stage to
represent the baggage they will confess to and defend, GSN said. Among
the planned suitors are a shoplifter, a woman who gets advice from
psychics, and a control freak.Jerry called Baggage a family-friendly show that is "just fun and light-hearted. There's no life-changing issues."
"I'm like the crazy old uncle," he said. "People feel comfortable telling me their secrets, that I won't be judgmental."
After the three contestants are pared down to one, the potential date must own up to a fault of his or her own.
Jerry, 66, whose varied credits include his long-running talk show, The Jerry Springer Show, as well as America's Got Talent, Dancing With The Stars and a Broadway turn last year in the musical Chicago, was due to begin recording Baggage this week.
"I just keep finding jobs," he said. "I'm really lucky and I know that... Being a host is what I'm comfortable doing. I've been doing it forever, joking around with guests, having fun."
