This is the headline for the release: “Eclectic personalities join Regis on Crowd Goes W!ld.”

Yes, because because building a new sports show around an 81-year-old man isn’t eclectic enough.

Anyway, collect your winnings if you had Georgie Thompson as part of the panel.

This is either going to be very entertaining or a train wreck. I’ve got to think Fox knows that too.

Here’s the release:

********

Unpredictable, unconventional and irreverent are three adjectives that describe CROWD GOES W!LD, FOX Sports 1’s new, original sports discussion and analysis program, and all most-definitely describe five eclectic personalities named today to join renown host Regis Philbinwhen the show premieres on Monday, Aug. 19.

Veteran Wall Street Journal sports columnist Jason Gay; professional tennis player turned comedian Michael Kosta; two-time Super Bowl Champion and four-time Pro Bowl defensive end Trevor Pryce; and Sky Sports host and news anchor Georgie Thompson, along with Guyism.com personality and YouTube sensation Katie Nolan serving as social media correspondent, team with Regis to come at the day’s sports news and issues with conversation more lively, more entertaining and less argumentative than current offerings.

“There are sports news shows, debate shows and shows that present a single point-of-view, but CROWD GOES W!LD is aiming for a fresh approach,” said Executive Producer Michael Davies. “CROWD GOES W!LD is going to live in the moment, presenting multiple points of view, with the conversation often influenced by the audience through social interaction. Regis, Jason, Michael, Trevor, Georgie and Katie will embrace the freedom and spontaneity this free-flowing, less staid, format offers and I have no doubt fans will too.”

In addition to featuring conversation directed by its panelists’ contrasting viewpoints and social interaction with viewers, the alternative CROWD GOES W!LD (@CGW) welcomes in-studio guests from sports and entertainment, and incorporates every asset FOX Sports offers, ranging from live satellite interviews with on-air personalities to cast members serving as correspondents at major events.

“All over sports television, it’s easy to find people arguing with each other or pontificating over the topics of the day, and it doesn’t come across as being much fun, or often that authentic,” added Davies. “Clearly, there’s another approach, which more closely mirrors the multiple points of view held by fans, bloggers, journalists and athletes across the sports landscape, and where we can have some fun and create some entertainment while debating the big games, the major players and the hottest stories.”

The hour-long CROWD GOES W!LD airs live weekdays (5:00-6:00 PM ET) on FOX Sports 1, America’s new sports network launching Aug. 17.  The program originates from Chelsea Piers Studios in New York City, and is produced before a studio audience by Embassy Row Productions.
