In case you missed it on the teevee… here I am, a reality TV judge in all my unscripted glory. This is episode one… I’ll post the other two in the coming days. Yay, Hulu!

While America chose Barack Obama as its next president, Fox Reality Channel viewers also took part in a big vote: Choosing TV’s next reality series star. Would it be Kato Kaelin, Gretchen Bonaduce or Traci Bingham?
In a semi-surprise, Bonaduce — the ex-wife of Danny — won the slot to star in her own Fox Reality Channel series. Kaelin was especially taken aback, and stormed off the stage after being eliminated.
And now, here it is, one last time: The “Gimme My Reality Show” judges publicity shot!


Bless you, Ray Richmond. The Hollywood Reporter reviewer’s take on “Gimme My Reality Show” is, well, perhaps a tad unkind:
In the case of the new Fox Reality abomination “Gimme My Reality Show!” this is more than understandable; the pre-burial is more or less mandated. If this isn’t the biggest waste of human DNA in television history, it must be awfully close. Less an original series than a cable preview of what Armageddon might look like, it joins seven truly frightening G-listers whose flirtation with fame long ago passed through the hourglass (if there ever was any sand in there to begin with). The gambit: gather grating gossip columnist AJ Benza, cosmetic enhancement nightmare Traci Bingham, bland opportunist Gretchen Bonaduce, “Brady Bunch” alum Susan Olsen, “American Idol” washout Ryan Starr, “Anna Nicole Show” queen Bobby Trendy and (God save us all) O.J. Simpson trial airhead Kato Kaelin in a competition to — I’m not kidding — land their own reality show.
Makes you wanna watch, right? Right? Here’s what he has to say about yours truly:
The folks who compete with crass cluelessness on “Gimme My Reality Show!” would need to travel far up the food chain simply to be classified as run-of-the-mill pathetic. Moreover, the judges include one of journalism’s own, Variety TV reporter Michael Schneider. If a show needs to delve into the ranks of we ink-stained hacks, you know it must be driven by a concept that’s seriously flawed. In this case, it isn’t really a concept at all but something you might concoct while enduring a weekend-long bender of weed and tequila.
Awww, yeah! Name checked! Thanks Ray… and now, everyone, don’t forget to watch me look rather goofy on Saturday night at 9 p.m. (PT — it’s midnight on the east coast) on Fox Reality Channel!

Here it is, the official judge shot from “Gimme My Reality Show,” bowing this Saturday at 9 p.m. PT (yep, Midnight ET) on Fox Reality Channel. And if you wanna read more about the judges too, check here.
Yep, Franklin Avenue, guaranteed the only website in America focusing on this new show’s judges.

Just call me Michael Schneider The 14th. That’s right — thanks to “Gimme My Reality Show,” I finally get my own IMDB page.
The 14th Michael Schneider to get his own IMDB page. Yep, apparently us Michael Schneiders are a prolific bunch.

My favorite may be Michael Schneider the 10th, who appeared as an actor in the direct-to-video movie “Avenging Disco Vampires.” I’m probably most proud of Michael Schneider the 4th, the director of 1996′s “Alarm für Cobra 11 – Die Autobahnpolizei.”
And congrats to Michael Schneider No. 1, for appearing in something that we’ve actually heard of: “Schindler’s List.” As the first Michael Schneider on IMDB to be credited as “self,” I promise to do the other 13 proud.
