''Grill Me'' is a USA Network game show that aired its pilot (and only episode) on September 9, 1996. It was hosted by actor/comedian Jordan Brady (his previous hosting stint being the 1990 MTV offering ''Turn It Up!''), and sponsored by Honda. Three celebrities (in this case, Dweezil Zappa, Susan Olsen, and Kristoff St. John) competed to win money in a game show somewhat like ''Jeopardy!'' for charity – indeed, Brady referred to it as "''Jeopardy!'' for stupid people". ==Round 1== The first round was known as the "Appetizer" round, and five pun-laden categories (with food names taking the puns of questions regarding celebrities) were presented to the celebs, who were given $99.95 to start with (the first category picked by the winner of a drawing of straws (in Jordan's case, "Indian leg wrestling" )). Each category had a different value, from as low as $9.95 to as big as $17.95, and the first question in each category was asked as a toss-up. Whoever buzzed in with the right answer earned money and control of answering two more questions worth the same amount. If a contestant did not know the answer to a question, he or she could force an opponent to "eat it" and make him or her answer the question for double the value. If at any time a wrong answer was given, money was lost. At the end of the round, a toss-up question was asked regarding a piece of music three dancers sung and danced to, with a right answer worth $25, referred to as the "Blue Plate Special". The Appetizer Round categories were as follows: * French Onion Snoop Doggie Dog (worth $9.95) – referred to rappers * A Knish Called Wanda (worth $11.95) – not picked; most likely referred to Kevin Kline movies * Bryant Gumbo (worth $12.95) – not picked; most likely referred to daytime talk shows * Hot Serials (worth $14.95) – referred to soap operas * Brady Brunch (worth $17.95) – referred to the ''Brady Bunch'' In addition, the "Blue Plate Special" referred to the Contours' ''Do You Love Me?''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Grill Me」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
