Studs (game show)

Studs (game show)

"Studs" was an American television game show which was produced By Fox Television Studios. It ran in syndication from 1991 to 1993, hosted by Mark DeCarlo. In general, the show follows a somewhat similar format to that of "The Dating Game" and "Love Connection". Although the show earned high ratings among young viewers and was fairly popular during the early 90s, the then-spouse of Fox studio head Rupert Murdoch was not a fan of the series and in fact protested her husband's decision to air the game show.Fact|date=February 2007

Ronald Goldman appeared as a contestant in 1992, two years before his infamous murder (along with Nicole Brown Simpson) in 1994 for which O.J. Simpson was found civilly liable, but not criminally guilty.

Jim Perry, who hosted Sale of the Century appeared in a cameo during a 1991 episode. Host DeCarlo was a contestant on Sale in 1985 and DeCarlo thanked Perry for helping launch his TV career.

"Studs" was featured in the Game Show Network produced special (hosted by Caroline Rhea) which aired in 2008. Mark DeCarlo claimed in the special that a network executive at Fox thought the show was too racy for the network to continue producing and had it cancelled.

Actor/comedian Chris Hardwick was "discovered" by a producer when he made a hilarious appearance as a contestant on the show.
