MS: Why did you pick up all three midseason reality shows?JG: When we made the choice to go back to shows at 10, we didn't have a lot to choose from. We had to come up with things we could do relatively quickly. "Who Do You Think You Are" and "Minute to Win It" we didn't promote all that much, and far exceeded our expectations. The audience is finding those shows on their own. "Marriage Ref" we helped guide the audience there. Seeing comedy perform well at 10, which is not a traditional comedy time period, we felt it deserved its pickup.
MS: And you own "Minute to Win It."
JG: It didn't have anything to do with being inhouse, other than we could turn it around quickly.
