Interview: Brooke Burns and Mark Thompson of 'Hole in the Wall'

Leave it to co-host Brooke Burns to perfectly sum up the appeal of FOX's new competition series Hole in the Wall. "The draw of Hole in the Wall is the same thing that happens when you watch your best friend walk into a window because they think it's open and they crash and fall down," says Burns, who seems to have some experience in such things. "Your first reaction is 'Oh my God, are you OK?' but you can't really get that out because you're laughing so hard. It's back to the simple pleasures in life." After getting a limited sampling in two sneak preview airings, Hole in the Wall has its time period premiere on Thursday (Sept. 11) night. Based on a wildly popular Japanese format that has already be successfully transplanted to over a dozen markets, Hole has a mighty simple premise. Contestants stand at one end of a platform and try to wedge their bodies through holes in a rapidly approaching wall. If they succeed? Glory! If they fail? Splash!... Read More ...

Fox taps Brooke Burns, Mark Thompson to host 'Hole in the Wall'

Fox has announced it's tapped actress Brooke Burns and TV personality Mark Thompson to serve as co-hosts for Hole in the Wall, a game show from American Idol producers FremantleMedia North America that will see contestants contorting their bodies in an attempt to fit through a massive moving wall. In addition, Fox announced it began production on Hole in the Wall this week in Los Angeles following a nationwide casting search for contestants. Burns' previous hosting duties include NBC's Dog Eat Dog, while she has also co-starred in Baywatch and the ABC comedy Miss Guided. The 30-year-old former model is also currently slated to begin production on the drama pilot Mistresses soon. Each Hole in the Wall episode will follow two teams competing against each other for several rounds, in which they'll be up against various walls speeding towards them. Their only means of getting through will be different-sized shapes, which will force the contestants to contort their bodies in unison as they either squeeze through or get knocked into a pool below. As the rounds progress, the walls will come at the contestants more quickly and the shapes will become more difficult to fit through. The team with the most points at the end of each episode will win. Fox ordered 13 one-hour episodes of the Japanese import in May, and FremantleMedia currently produces versions of the show in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, China, Colombia, Denmark, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Israel, Malaysia, Mexico, Russia, Sweden and the U.K..

Brooke Burns Talks About 'Miss Guided'

Brooke Burns talked to us recently about her new show, Miss Guided (including a sneak peek at the next few episodes,) her upcoming movies, and the importance that her daughter Madison has on her life. She does indeed live up to her IMDB resume which posts “Prior Job Title: Mom.” But she is more. She is courageous, having recovered from a near-fatal accident, yet still does most of her own stunts, is charming to chat with, and kept us chuckling through the entire interview. We just got our first peek of Miss Guided. Pretty funny stuff! We liked your character, Lisa Germain. (laughs) She’s awful, isn’t she, and funny at the same time. She’s very full of herself. Are you anything like that? No! I always like to say that everything that Lisa is, is what I am teaching my daughter what not to be. Has she seen the show? Honestly, I don’t think that she would be interested. She only watches Hannah Montana. Madison would be like, “Oh, there’s Mommy on TV. Can we change back now?”... Read More ...

Brooke Burns Interview

It's been 8 years since Brooke Burns ran up and down the beach in a red bathing suit on Baywatch. Oh, I know. You only watched it because you love the musical stylings of David Hasselhoff. Whatever. When I told her I'd heard she had a birthday coming up, she fired back, "I dooooo!" When I asked if it was a big one, she said, laughing, "It is giant. It's 21." Me too!, I said. "I can't believe it. I'm starting a new decade. (Brooke Burns turned 30 on March 16th.) "I'm really excited about it actually. All my girlfriends, when they turned 30, had this new sense of empowerment. Yeah! I'm into it. I'm stoked!" This new sense of empowerment is working for Brooke. The former star of North Shore has three projects in the works right now. We began with The Art of Travel, a movie filmed in Panama. (Don't worry boys. I'm sure that means bathing suits.) "A jungle in Panama, which was really amazing. It's about a group of sort of gypsy travelers that machete their way through the Darian Gap. More people have climbed Mount Everest then have done that. So they end up setting a world record...we just had the best time! Hair and makeup was, like, get up in the morning and roll around in the mud. It made it so freeing...and I think whenever you do something out of the country like that, its life changing, you know? I'm very nomadicly inclined." Project number two is the tv movie, Smoke Jumpers... Read More ...

'Miss Guided' delivers laughs, promising more

Although it's easy to approach any late entry in this television season of lost hope as somehow pointless or damaged, ABC's newest sitcom, "Miss Guided" is not only better than a lot of previous sitcoms on the network, it has the potential to remain a constant source of better-than-average laughs. If that sounds thinly veiled, well, it is. So few sitcoms come ready-made out of the box these days. Comedy is infinitely more difficult to develop than drama and the first offerings can either be the worst effort in the batch of 22 or the best it will ever achieve. Look no further than the best comedy now on television - NBC's "30 Rock," which premiered with a mostly unfunny, lackluster 22 minutes and then managed, after about four episodes, to hit its full creative stride. "Miss Guided" was created by Caroline Williams (she's listed as having written one episode of "The Office") and the executive producer is Ashton Kutcher, so naturally all the attention will be on the latter. The show is also in the capable hands of Emmy-winning director Todd Holland. But Williams deserves credit for coming up with a simple premise that, with the right supporting actors - and they seem to be in place - might have some legs. "Miss Guided" centers on Becky Freeley (Judy Greer), a guidance counselor at Glen Ellen High School. It's a sort of triumphant return for the once-geeky Becky who also attended high school at Glen Ellen and felt all the shame and embarrassment of anyone would who never fit in, had bad braces and lost all of her hot-guy crushes to the homecoming queen. But that's all in the past, right? Even though she's living at home with her mother and drives a not exactly fancy Cabriolet - which she's very proud of - good girl Becky is out to help all the high school kids with the patient, sage advice she never got...
