THE JOE SCHMO SHOW

"The Joe Schmo Show" is one of television's biggest and riskiest experiments. Playing into men’s appetites for competition, humor and beautiful women, “The Joe Schmo Show” combines elements from many reality shows found on TV...except with one huge secret -- only one of the contestants is real. Everyone else on the show, from the host to the other 'players', are actors following a pre-determined outline. How would a naive reality contestant react to encountering a show filled with every outlandish element reality television has showcased? How far can producers push this 'reality,' and the ensuing ridiculous competitions? Will the actors be convincing enough? Will our unsuspecting “Joe” figure it all out? And if “Joe” does figure it out, how will “Joe” respond?
Matt Kennedy Gould is our unsuspecting “contestant” and the ultimate wildcard element that this entire show revolves around. Think middle. Middle class. Middle America and middle of the road. A native of Pittsburgh, PA, Matt recently dropped out of law school and is a pizza deliveryman until he figures out what he wants to do with his life. He is the only non-actor of the house. Matt Kennedy Gould is our “Joe Schmo.”
Gould thinks he’s a contestant on “Lap of Luxury,” a new reality show in which he would live the life of the super-rich, pampered beyond his wildest dreams in a gorgeous, sprawling mansion while vying with eight other contestants for a grand prize of one hundred thousand dollars. As on many reality programs, the show features reward challenges. On “Lap of Luxury,” these challenges are called “Pampering Competitions,” games in which contestants “compete” for high-priced luxury items including flat screen televisions, vacations or simply the use of the mansion’s master suite. The show also includes “Lord of the Manor Immunity Showdowns,” in which contestants compete for immunity to avoid being “evicted” from the house. Both the “Pampering Competitions” and the “Immunity Showdowns” are parodies of similar elements in ‘eviction style’ reality shows and are completely rigged by the writers and producers.
At the end of each typical episode, the “Lap of Luxury” pseudo-reality show holds a “Riches to Rags Eviction Ceremony,” a “ritual” where castmates vote to evict one of their own. The evicted contestant's “Lap of Luxury Collectors Plate” is tossed into the fireplace, and the host deadpans: “Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, (fill in name), you are dead to us!” This over-dramatic ritual pokes fun at the melodrama of every major reality show, using extreme close-ups, histrionic music, and ridiculous, gut-wrenching moments of tension.
In addition to surrounding Matt with stereotypical reality show contestants– The Buddy, The A**hole, The Grizzled Veteran, The Schemer, The Rich B*tch, The Gay Guy, The Virgin and The Quack -- series producers conspired to subject Matt nearly every over-the-top reality competition the networks have dared… along with a few too risky to have been tried before. Designed to test Matt’s moral fortitude, patience and sanity the competitions include: Hands on a High-Priced Hooker; A Meal Not Quite Fit for King; Battle of the Sexes and Money, Money, Money, Honey.
