Mizzou Grad Hosts Funny Show

September 15, 2008

John Anderson, half of the duo that hosts ABC’s Wipeout, graduated from Mizzou. Sports fans probably also recognized Anderson from his time at ESPN. If you enjoy watching people run into things, fall off of things, get punched and get gooed on, this is the show for you. It’s a hilarious obstacle course practically impossible to tackle. But the best thing is, it’s guilt free. That’s because all the contestants wear protective gear. So you can laugh freely knowing they didn’t get hurt. Unlike America’s Funniest Videos in which you never quite know for sure if you’re laughing your head off at a guy who just got his head knocked off.

The other reason the show is funny, is because of Anderson and co-host John Henson. The pointless pair spend their time mostly mocking the contestants. They manage to present information you already know in a way that makes you feel like you’re watching a real sporting event.
