The Big Moment is an American television game show that aired on ABC in 1999 and was hosted by Whose Line Is It Anyway? alumnus Brad Sherwood. John Cramer served as announcer. The show was based on a Japanese show of the same concept, Happy Family Planning. The show's premise centered on one member of a family who was given one week to practice a certain task before the episode's taping. A video camera was provided to record the rehearsal process at home. At the end of the week, the contestant came to the studio to perform the task. The contestant was given only one attempt; if successful, he/she won a pre-selected prize package worth $25,000. If unsuccessful, he/she received a $2,000 consolation prize. Two contestants appeared each episode. Some of the stunts presented: ⁕Memorizing pi to the 100th decimal ⁕Playing Beethoven's Für Elise on a piano, without missing a note ⁕Answering ten questions on the film Ghost ⁕Riding around three cones on a unicycle and returning to a starting line ⁕Pulling a tablecloth out from a fully set table without any items hitting the floor or glasses being knocked over

Contestants competing match wits in a series of multiple choice questions, with one contestant being eliminated every round. But unlike any other game show in the world, the eliminated contestant will then be ejected from the show in spectacular fashion—i.e., being flown away strapped to the wing of a biplane, pushed off the top of a moving semi truck, dragged underwater by a one-ton anchor or yanked off a dock by a speed boat.

The Family Game was a game show that ran on ABC for six months in 1967. Geoff Edwards was originally to host the pilot, but was dropped at the last minute and was replaced by producer Chuck Barris. Although ABC bought the series, they mandated that someone other than Barris be the host; Bob Barker, then hosting Truth or Consequences, was selected without a screen test or pilot. The Family Game was played similar to Barris' more popular ABC game show The Newlywed Game, except that instead of four married couples there were three families. The series is notable for being the last new black-and-white network series to air in America prior to the nationwide switch to color in 1968.

Sky World News Tonight was a dedicated international news programme which was shown between 8pm and 9pm British time every weekday evening on Sky News. The show launched on 24 October 2005 as part of a wider revamp of the channel. Its production team was also responsible for putting together Sky World News and the Sky Review and Business report. The show was replaced on 10 July 2006 by Sky News with Martin Stanford. The show featured in-depth reports, analysis and comment based around news stories from around the world, and was presented by James Rubin. It consisted of the main presentation desk revolving to a presentation position of Rubin seated in front of a neon globe with studio guests then able to be seated either side of him. Note however that many of the show's guests appear via link-up from other countries. While the focus was firmly on events outside of the UK, the show usually incorporated brief domestic news updates. These were typically presented by either Chris Roberts or Gillan Joseph, who co-presented Sky News Tonight at 9pm. Sky News' Foreign Affairs Editor Tim Marshall often contributed material to the programme, and on occasion hosted during Rubin's absence. American neo-conservative commentator William Kristol also frequently appeared from the US as a guest contributor. Rubin has also presented the show from some international locations including Jerusalem, and Aleppo. The show was cancelled on 10 July 2006, along with The Sky Report, as part of a minor re-shuffle of the Sky News schedules. Rubin can still be seen on Sky News as a World News Commentator.

Fast Cars and Superstars: The Gillette Young Guns Celebrity Race 2007

Fast Cars & Superstars: Gillette Young Guns Celebrity Race was an ABC reality television series featuring twelve celebrities in a stock car auto racing competition. Directed by Michael John Warren, the branded series was a coproduction between television commercial production company @radical.media, television producer Michael Davies, advertising agency BBDO and Gillette. The series debuted on June 7, 2007 and aired on the same night as a game in the 2007 NBA Finals. It aired at 8 p.m. Eastern time, 7 p.m. Central time, and postgame in the Mountain and Pacific time zones. The June 24 finale aired at 8 ET/PT and 7 CT/MT as the finals had ended by this time, with the San Antonio Spurs being crowned champions. The event was taped at Lowe's Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina, using cars provided by the Jeff Gordon racing school. Kenny Mayne and Brad Daugherty were the hosts. Corey LaCosta from the racing school was the celebrities' driving instructor and head official for the competition. In an interesting sidelight, the promos that aired in the Mountain and Pacific zones mention the show aired after the "basketball finals," not giving the NBA's name or initials. This was because, despite the exclusive rights to air the finals, ABC could not mention the NBA in connection to this show's leadout. A possible reason was that Gillette is the title sponsor of this series; it is a competing product to Schick, a NBA sponsor at that time.
