The conveyor belt The week of the 4 Julies may have been immobilized last April, its main user, she does not take a break from the small screen. After ten years at the helm of Banker at TVA, Julie Snyder returns to hosting a major game show for Noovo, which will land in the channel’s 2023-2024 programming schedule, probably next winter, even if the broadcast date or time slot is n have not been officially confirmed.
This knowledge game is called Every second counts and derives from the British format Divided, which has been adapted in around 20 countries, including Spain, South Korea and Denmark. The American version, heated by Mike Richards, airs on the Game Show Network.
In each of the one-hour episodes, four competitors, who do not know each other, answer, in groups, questions of general culture.
Like: Which of these Netflix shows aired first: House of Cards, Narcos Or Orange Is the New Black ? Or: in which part of the plane is it safest to sit: the front, the middle or the back?
The four candidates have 60 seconds to agree – unanimously – on the correct answer from the choices offered. But the longer they think, the more their kitty shrinks. We must therefore act quickly and well, because, as the title suggests, every second counts. The answers : House of Cards and the back of the device.
After the second round, as in Survivor, the team of four must eliminate one of its members, the least useful, to continue the questionnaire to three. At the very end, the last three players still have to debate among themselves to split the winnings into three parts of 60%, 30% and 10%. The decision must once again be unanimous. And the longer they trade, the more their jackpot shrinks.
No need to have attended budding geniuses to register for Every second counts, says host Julie Snyder. The themes will cast a wide net and will not only concern the capitals of the world or the periodic table of the elements.
“It’s mainstream. There will be questions about entertainment, sports, gossip, music. Everyone can play. It’s also a game of adaptation, where you have to make decisions quickly. I could have been a good competitor. I have a good general culture and I shamed my son Thomas by applauding all the times he had good answers to his parts of budding geniuses “recalls Julie Snyder in a telephone interview.
The value of each of the questions, in the United States, varies between $5,000 and $15,000. The amounts offered in the Quebec version have not been determined.
But wait two seconds. Julie Snyder had she not confided, after the end of her talk show everyday, that she wanted to take a breather and slow down the pace? The demon has not changed her mind.
“I no longer want to be on TV four nights a week for four years. In my personal life, every second counts too. And in a game like Every second counts, there is a mechanism. You’re here to show off the competition. I like this. And it’s not complicated for me. You don’t have to cut your wrists three days before interviewing astronaut David Saint-Jacques to ask him a question no one has asked him yet. You don’t have to prepare for 30 hours for a single interview. A game, you animate it with your energy and your curiosity,” explains Julie Snyder.
Julie Snyder will not produce Every second countsthis task falls to Trio Orange, the company behind Tower And The furry ones. A season of Every second counts will contain a dozen 60-minute episodes, in which the host will inject her color, as at the time of the Bankerfrom 2007 to 2017.
It was also a day of celebration Monday in the offices of Productions J, the company belonging to Julie Snyder. The final of Survivor Quebec smashed the Noovo channel’s live viewing record on Sunday evening: 864,000 faithful attended the victory of Nicolas Brunette, 25, a communications and marketing agent from Gatineau. The last episode of Survivor Quebecmanufactured by Productions J, thus supplanted the first of Big Brother Celebrities 2 at the top of Noovo’s most-watched shows.
always about Survivor Quebecthere is a conspiracy theory that the Noovo chain deliberately orchestrated the leak of the top 3 on its website to boost publicity around the final. It is absolutely false, replies Julie Snyder about this rumor.
“As confirmed by the broadcaster, the capsule [de la villa de Karine] published on Noovo, it is a technical error. The capsule sank online,” she recalls.
The boss has spoken. You can collect your things and go back to camp, thank you.
