To Tell The Truth, Zsu Zsu...

You all remember that old skool game show, called To Tell The Truth, where 3 contestants each purported to be so-and-so, where a panel of celebrities asked questions of them regarding them being so-and-so, and then guessing as to which was the real so-and-so, to where the question eventually was asked, "Will the real so-and-so please stand up!?"

Here is a Youtube file on an old, and apropo show:

youtube.com/watch

Well a few of us have decided to do a skit on a variation of this show for Yuri's Night, with Mademoiselle Zsu Zsu in mind, Saturday Night Live / MADD TV / Jerry Springer style....

To wit, 5-6 contestants will each purport to be the real Zsu Zsu in a game show setting (i.e. lined up in a row in front of the audience).

Thusfar, A delle, Sabra, Jenn, Shelly Pinemom, and myself, have committed to each exploring. expressing, openly living their own unique vision, their enamoration, their LUV, perhaps their inner Zsu Zsu, ...and / or, as especially with me, their eventually seriously warped identification (yipee!) with Mademoiselle for this skit.

Another contestant may be in order too, WILL IT BE YOU!?

Jelly Fish is going to be the interviewee, as Monsieur Pierre.

Kahele is going to help with stage direction, etc....

Some involvement with the audience is also in order, whether through additional Zsu Zsu purporters in the crowd, some prepared questions from the crowd, crowd choice through applause as to who they think the real Zsu Zsu is,...?

Which venue, time, duration (10-20 minutes), some other ideas, the mix of script, improv, and mayhem, have been touced upon, but pretty much all of this is up in the air for creativity as this is going to be a group of individuals project, each exploring their abysmally obssessive relationship with Mademoiselle...IN SPACE.

SO, a meeting is in order to get free and creative and scriptive as we may for this show for our Mlle.

What about meeting this Tuesday night (March 25), say around 6 pm at the Red Rock? Or Thursday?

If you wish to also commit to the foolishly explorative fun of this particular femme fatale genre, PLEASE also sound in here, ESPECIALLY as to if this meeting time will work for you, so we can commit down this silliness together in unison, "You love Zsu Zsu, I love Zsu Zsu, we love Zsu Zsu, To tell the truth, Where are you Zsu Zsu, WHY DON'T YOU SEE ME ZSU ZSU..."

But we have to meet soon, so this week has got to be the week to get started together.

And Jelly Fish has a surprise in the works for the finale of this show, ....to be revealed at the meeting !

      Weekdays for me are typically plenty full, especially Tuesdays, and especially this week, so I unfortunately cannot really make it out to Sun Valley and back. Still, I think we are likely to have another meeting or two on this, so maybe a next meeting we can come and tear up your place?!

      ....I personally have been wondering as to how you, Noxious Bob, too are going to be in this show for Mlle !

        So, Tuesday is working thusfar for Shelly Pinemom, Sabra, Jenn, and myself, but at 6:00 instead.

        Hopefully it will work for everyone, too?

      Right-O, Nathan, and thanks again for having the vision to take a very "American Dream" game show concept and wrap it around Zsu Zsu's delicate pinky finger. Here's a link to a video of the old show from the 60's: www.youtube.com/watch . Let it load into your buffer, then click about 4/5 into it to see the way the contestants feign as if they are ALL getting ready to stand up. That would be worth some rehearsing and dragging out!

      I may be running a little late tonight but never fear, Pier Hah-HAUGH! will not let Zsu Zsu down for he cannot bear her pouting!

            Ah yes. Thank you for that link Nathan, I really enjoyed it, have never seen it. Who knew that Roddenberry would become such a celeb later.

            Yes, excellent idea for a skit. As I mentioned to you Nathan, I can help with a mobile dj/pa-type setup if you do this on the stage in the chill room. Could it be done with just one mic? With the gameshow host moving and interviewing each contestant in the center and the judges on the side? My setup currently only has a only single mic. It seems like the best setup will be at least three mics (for the contestants, judges, and host). I'll get together with D6 to see if he has ideas with the current setup and my mobile system. Nathan - I'll send you a message on tribe or call you when things are looking less cloudy.

              Thanks, Iz. One mike should do it. If you cut in with Zsu Zsu's music from time to time that would be great!

                At our Yuri's Night Recompression here in Reno last month, we did a Zsu Zsu game show. The video did not come out, but the audio did. It's tough to understand if you were not there, but here's the link courtesy of Munz:

                The screaming at the end of the game show (before the song) is when the Zsu Zsu robot comes from behind the curtain and spits on everyone. Enjoy.
                Thanks to Nathan, A_Delle, Goddess Donna, Bernie, and Juice for producing such fun entertainment!
