While appearing on Good Morning America, Shaquille O’Neal spoke about his new game show, Lucky 13 which he co-hosts with Gina Rodriguez, and took a jab at Charles Barkley
Shaquille O’Neal appeared on Good Morning America on Wednesday to talk about his new game show, and couldn’t help but poke fun at fellow NBA alum Charles Barkley.
The former Los Angeles Lakers player will host the upcoming game show Lucky 13 along with actress Gina Rodriguez. About the show, Shaq told the GMA hosts: “It’s a show where we ask the contestant 13 true or false questions with the twist of, ‘Okay we just asked you 13 questions, how many do you think you got right?’ And of course, if you say you got all 13 right you win $1million.”
Studio 1’s Adrian Woolfe hopes to strike Lucky 13
Studio 1 co-founder Adrian Woolfe is back and hoping for another big hit as he prepares to launch Lucky 13 on ABC in the US – but could AI have created the format for him?
It’s nice to meet somebody who’s got a show away in this climate. Tell us about the origins of Lucky 13.
It’s one of those things where – it’s fantastic, I’m delighted – but it’s taken a while to get here.
It’s a pre-Covid baby, it was 2019 that we started, but the way I describe it it’s been 25 years in the making because it shares a lot of its DNA with Millionaire which I oversaw the launch of and was very involved in its international roll out. Slice me open and you’ll still find Millionaire in my blood.
Lucky 13, even though the gameplay itself is very different, shares a lot of the DNA. With Millionaire the beauty was the simplicity – 15 multiple choice questions, three lifelines. That’s the format. It’s really simple, and then execution is nine tenths of it.
