The reality
TV entertainment has been a center of attraction from many years and producers
at the other end try their utmost efforts to put something interesting that
could get some more TRPs for their reality based shows. Many shows, having
different formats but same objectives, have been launched in past few decades
and Killer Karaoke is another most discussed reality show that
airs in American territories with different daredevil stunts and formats.
Hosts of the Show:
The first
season was hosted by Steve-O, formerly known for his performances for Jackass
TV Series (2000-2003), where Twisted Sisters and Dee Snider performed
the duties of announcers in this game show. But in second season of
Killer Karaoke Steve-O was replaced by Mark McGrath who is
a very famous American singer from the band Sugar Ray.
Format and Stunts of Killer
Karaoke:
The show
has set in a funny format where every contestant has to sing a famous
song but while singing, he/she has to perform a daredevil stunt that is
instructed by the host after introducing the contestant with studio audience.
People present at studio while recording see different unbelievable and
unexpected stunts that really takes breath and make this show a bit different
from previously on-aired reality based TV shows.
Many awesome
and rather dangerous stunts are the part of this great show that every
contestant has to perform while singing a song like Party in the pants,
Petting Zoo, Cactus Maze and Shock Therapy. Sometimes a contestant
has to bear shocks while singing the song or he/she may face rather
horrible pack of dogs that used to bit him/her while singing the song.
Concept and Idea:
Basically,
the show, Killer Karaoke, has been adopted by another UK based show, Sing if
You Can, that had approximately same format like this exciting show.
But Zodiak USA, the production company of Killer Karaoke, made some
changes in the format and allowed different contestants, that were common
people mostly, unlike ‘Sing if You Can’ where only celebrities could
participate in the show.
This show
is on-aired by truTV, the American broadcasting channel, every week and
it had gathered so much hype due to its unique and rather dangerous stunts
performed by different, unskilled, people live on the stage. Every season is
packed with 8 episodes having different contestants and different formats of
stunts that they have to perform in 90 seconds. The decision of winner would be
decided on votes made by audience presented at the show. If first contestant
gets more votes then he/she wins and the second loses despite all the daring
and efforts he put in the performances.
Performance of a contestant in
Killer Karaoke:
The girl, as shown in the video, picks her favorite
song and then
Steve-O instructs her to sing but she has to keep performing even while doing
the stunt with snakes. As the video shows that the girl start singing the song of
‘Redneck Woman’ and does it quite well before she sees the snake and
start frightening and screaming after watching spot boys putting the snakes
into the water tub placed under the girl.
The main
stunt performance starts when the girl was singing the song hanging in the air
above the tub filled with snakes. She try hard not to lose her confidence but
as the girl was dropped into the tub she starts yelling so badly and cry with
fear of snakes. After keeping the girl, whose name is Natasha, for few seconds,
they put her out of the tub but she had lost her confidence and was trembling
so badly because few of the snakes were stick with her body and this thing made
frighten as much as she was near to went unconscious.
