Предпосылка
Основная идея шоу заключается в том, что целевого человека или людей вводят в заблуждение, заставляя поверить, что они участвуют в реалити-шоу; на самом деле, все остальные участники, включая ведущего, – актеры, а их действия и исход шоу полностью заскриптованы, чтобы вызвать комическую реакцию у участников. Первый сезон шоу, The Joe Schmo Show, вышел в эфир в 2003 году, а второй сезон, Joe Schmo 2, – в 2004 году. Первый сезон был выполнен в формате типичного реалити-соревнования, а второй – в формате шоу знакомств, подобного "Холостяку". Единственным неизменным участником во всех трех сезонах "Джо Шмо" был актер озвучивания Ральф Гарман, который выступал в роли "ведущего" во всех трех выпусках (играя более язвительную карикатуру на себя в первом, помпезного британца во втором и охотника за головами в третьем). Команда, создавшая шоу, также разработала реалити-шоу-мистификацию Invasion Iowa.
The show's premise is that a target person or people are led to believe that they are contestants on a reality television show; in reality, all of the other participants in the purported show – including the host – are actors, and their actions and the outcome of the purported show are all scripted in an attempt to elicit comedic reactions from the targets. The show's first season, The Joe Schmo Show, aired in 2003, and its second season, Joe Schmo 2, aired in 2004. The first season's hoax was conducted as a typical reality competition show while the second hoax was a Bachelor like dating series. The only constant presence in all three Joe Schmo seasons has been voice actor Ralph Garman, who has served as the "emcee" for all three editions (playing a smarmier caricature of himself in the first, a pompous British man in the second, and a bounty hunter in the third). The team behind the show also created reality television hoax show Invasion Iowa.
Возрождение
17 мая 2023 года TBS объявила о возрождении шоу «Джо Шмо» с новым четвертым сезоном, ведущей которого станет Кэт Дили. Премьера была запланирована на март 2024 года, но по состоянию на 7 апреля 2024 года выход шоу был отложен по неизвестным причинам.
On May 17, 2023, TBS announced that it would revive The Joe Schmo Show with a new fourth season with Cat Deeley as host, which was originally set to premiere in March 2024, but as of April 7, 2024, it has been delayed for unknown reasons.
Шоу Джо Шмо (2003)
Целью первого сезона был Мэтт Кеннеди Гулд, уроженец г. Маунт-Либан, штат Пенсильвания. Остальные "участники" – архетипы типичных участников реалити-шоу.
The target of season one was Mt. Lebanon, Pennsylvania native Matt Kennedy Gould. The other "contestants" are archetypes of common reality TV show participants. Character Archetype Actor Ashleigh Rivera "The Rich Bitch" Melissa Yvonne Lewis Brian Keith Etheridge "The Buddy" Brian Keith Etheridge Carlos "Kip" Calderas "The Gay Guy" Lance Krall Earl Bradford "The Veteran" Franklin Dennis Jones Gina Price "The Schemer" Nikki Davis Molly Crabtree "The Virgin" Angela Dodson Patricia "Dr. Pat" Lane "The Quack Marriage Counselor" Kristen Wiig Steve "The Hutch" Hutchison "The Asshole" David Hornsby Ralph Garman "The Smarmy Host" Ralph Garman
Two actors made brief appearances in supporting roles: Ryan Raddatz played Molly's boyfriend, William (who feigned shock at seeing her in a bikini), and Steve Ireland played David Decker, a "network executive" who negotiated with Gould to finish the "Meal Not Quite Fit for a King" challenge. For the hoax, the producers named the faux reality show Lap of Luxury, with a $100,000 top prize "awarded" to the "winner." Perhaps in an attempt to keep things as close to actual reality shows as possible, at the end of every episode an eviction ceremony was conducted in which each contestant voted to evict someone, and the person with the most votes was eliminated. After the written finish was executed, the actor in question would take a plate with their face painted on it and give it to Garman, who would then state a rhyming couplet that went "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, (name), you're dead to us" then throw the plate into the fireplace, breaking it. In the final episode, the three remaining "players" (in this case Gould, "Brian", and "Hutch") faced a final vote from the evicted "houseguests" (similar to the final Tribal Council on Survivor), with the one getting the most votes "winning". The show experienced an unexpected shift during an early episode. Earl ("the Veteran") had bonded with Gould. When Earl was "voted" off the show, Gould began to weep and question his possible monetary gain at the cost of competing against his new friends. Both the other "contestants" and the show's executives allegedly questioned the future of the show. While Gould was kept in the dark until the very end, the tone of the show was apparently altered (according to the voiceover of the early episodes). While the original premise had been to make situations funny at Gould's expense, it became clear that the audience would sympathize too strongly with his earnestness; later games and contests were rigged to ensure he would win. Gould's sensitivity came to the forefront in a later episode featuring a sumo wrestling contest. Gould knocked down Kristen Wiig, playing "Dr. Pat", causing a real life head injury that forced her to be taken to the hospital. Gould eventually won the contest but was disturbed by the incident. The next day, when Wiig returned to the show, still in character, Gould gave her the all expense paid spa vacation he had won earlier. The producers added a twist in the series when Hutch was eliminated due to breaking the rules. After the said elimination he returned and (as noted above) made the final, and he was declared the "winner" just before the hoax was revealed. In the show's October 28, 2003 finale, which aired to over 3.4 million viewers (the all time record for a non wrestling show on TNN/Spike up to that time), Gould learned the truth and received the $100,000 prize for which he was "competing," along with the two vacations and a new plasma TV. He later recorded commentary that was included in Mo' Joe Schmo, a rebroadcast of the series. The Joe Schmo Show was released on DVD with additional and uncensored footage in 2004. Gould's plaintive cry, "What is going on?," delivered upon his discovery that the show was a fraud, became a popular catchphrase. Spike TV has since used the phrase at the end of the network's other original productions, some of them involving Gould himself. Some cast members have gone on to bigger success, including Kristen Wiig, who landed a regular spot on Saturday Night Live in 2005, and also went on to co write and star in the 2011 film Bridesmaids; Lance Krall, creator, writer and lead of VH1's Free Radio; Ralph Garman, a voice actor on Family Guy and co host of Hollywood Babble On; and David Hornsby, who is a writer, supervising producer, and performer on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Creator/producers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick went on to a number of projects, including the films Zombieland and Deadpool.

В эпизодических ролях снялись два актера: Райан Раддатц сыграл бойфренда Молли, Уильяма (который притворно выразил шок, увидев ее в бикини), а Стив Ирландия – Дэвида Декера, "руководителя телесети", который вел переговоры с Гулдом о завершении конкурса "Трапеза не для короля". Для розыгрыша продюсеры назвали фальшивое реалити-шоу "Роскошь в объятиях", главным призом в котором было 100 000 долларов, "вручаемых" "победителю". Возможно, чтобы максимально приблизить происходящее к реальным реалити-шоу, в конце каждого эпизода проводилась церемония выбывания, на которой каждый участник голосовал за исключение кого-либо, и участник, набравший наибольшее количество голосов, выбывал. После объявления результатов актер, которого исключили, брал тарелку с нарисованным на ней лицом и передавал ее Гарману, который произносил рифмованную строчку: "Прах в прах, пыль в пыль, (имя), ты нам больше не нужен", а затем бросал тарелку в камин, разбивая ее. В финальном эпизоде три оставшихся "игрока" (в данном случае Гулд, "Брайан" и "Хатч") столкнулись с финальным голосованием от выбывших "жильцов" (по аналогии с финальным Советом племени в шоу Survivor), и тот, кто набрал больше всего голосов, "побеждал".

Во время одного из ранних эпизодов шоу претерпело неожиданный поворот. Эрл ("Ветеран") сблизился с Гулдом. Когда Эрла "выгнали" из шоу, Гулд начал плакать и сомневаться в своей возможной финансовой выгоде, полученной ценой конкуренции с новыми друзьями. Как другие "участники", так и руководители шоу, якобы поставили под сомнение будущее проекта. Гулд был в неведении до самого конца, но тон шоу, по-видимому, изменился (согласно закадровому голосу в ранних эпизодах). Изначальная задумка заключалась в том, чтобы создавать смешные ситуации за счет Гулда, но стало ясно, что зрители будут слишком сильно сочувствовать его искренности; последующие игры и конкурсы были подстроены, чтобы обеспечить ему победу.

The show experienced an unexpected shift during an early episode. Earl ("the Veteran") had bonded with Gould. When Earl was "voted" off the show, Gould began to weep and question his possible monetary gain at the cost of competing against his new friends. Both the other "contestants" and the show's executives allegedly questioned the future of the show. While Gould was kept in the dark until the very end, the tone of the show was apparently altered (according to the voiceover of the early episodes). While the original premise had been to make situations funny at Gould's expense, it became clear that the audience would sympathize too strongly with his earnestness; later games and contests were rigged to ensure he would win. Gould's sensitivity came to the forefront in a later episode featuring a sumo wrestling contest. Gould knocked down Kristen Wiig, playing "Dr. Pat", causing a real life head injury that forced her to be taken to the hospital. Gould eventually won the contest but was disturbed by the incident. The next day, when Wiig returned to the show, still in character, Gould gave her the all expense paid spa vacation he had won earlier. The producers added a twist in the series when Hutch was eliminated due to breaking the rules. After the said elimination he returned and (as noted above) made the final, and he was declared the "winner" just before the hoax was revealed. In the show's October 28, 2003 finale, which aired to over 3.4 million viewers (the all time record for a non wrestling show on TNN/Spike up to that time), Gould learned the truth and received the $100,000 prize for which he was "competing," along with the two vacations and a new plasma TV. He later recorded commentary that was included in Mo' Joe Schmo, a rebroadcast of the series. The Joe Schmo Show was released on DVD with additional and uncensored footage in 2004. Gould's plaintive cry, "What is going on?," delivered upon his discovery that the show was a fraud, became a popular catchphrase. Spike TV has since used the phrase at the end of the network's other original productions, some of them involving Gould himself. Some cast members have gone on to bigger success, including Kristen Wiig, who landed a regular spot on Saturday Night Live in 2005, and also went on to co write and star in the 2011 film Bridesmaids; Lance Krall, creator, writer and lead of VH1's Free Radio; Ralph Garman, a voice actor on Family Guy and co host of Hollywood Babble On; and David Hornsby, who is a writer, supervising producer, and performer on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Creator/producers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick went on to a number of projects, including the films Zombieland and Deadpool.
Two actors made brief appearances in supporting roles: Ryan Raddatz played Molly's boyfriend, William (who feigned shock at seeing her in a bikini), and Steve Ireland played David Decker, a "network executive" who negotiated with Gould to finish the "Meal Not Quite Fit for a King" challenge. For the hoax, the producers named the faux reality show Lap of Luxury, with a $100,000 top prize "awarded" to the "winner." Perhaps in an attempt to keep things as close to actual reality shows as possible, at the end of every episode an eviction ceremony was conducted in which each contestant voted to evict someone, and the person with the most votes was eliminated. After the written finish was executed, the actor in question would take a plate with their face painted on it and give it to Garman, who would then state a rhyming couplet that went "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, (name), you're dead to us" then throw the plate into the fireplace, breaking it.

Чувствительность Гулда проявилась в более позднем эпизоде, в котором проходил турнир по сумо. Гулд сбил Кристен Вийг, игравшую "Доктора Пэт", что привело к реальной травме головы, из-за которой ее пришлось госпитализировать. Гулд в итоге выиграл конкурс, но был потрясен произошедшим. На следующий день, когда Вийг вернулась на шоу, все еще в роли, Гулд подарил ей спа-отпуск со всеми включенными расходами, который он выиграл ранее.

Продюсеры добавили неожиданный поворот в сериал, когда Хатч был исключен за нарушение правил. После этого он вернулся и (как указано выше) вышел в финал, где его объявили "победителем" непосредственно перед раскрытием розыгрыша.

В финальном эпизоде шоу, вышедшем в эфир 28 октября 2003 года и собравшем более 3,4 миллиона зрителей (рекордное количество для нерестлингового шоу на TNN/Spike на тот момент), Гулд узнал правду и получил приз в 100 000 долларов, за который он "соревновался", а также две поездки и новый плазменный телевизор. Позже он записал комментарии, которые были включены в Mo' Joe Schmo, повторный показ сериала.

The Joe Schmo Show был выпущен на DVD с дополнительными и нецензурированными кадрами в 2004 году. Фраза Гулда, полная отчаяния: "Что происходит?", произнесенная после того, как он обнаружил, что шоу – обман, стала популярным крылатым выражением. Spike TV с тех пор использует эту фразу в конце других оригинальных проектов сети, некоторые из которых с участием самого Гулда.

Two actors made brief appearances in supporting roles: Ryan Raddatz played Molly's boyfriend, William (who feigned shock at seeing her in a bikini), and Steve Ireland played David Decker, a "network executive" who negotiated with Gould to finish the "Meal Not Quite Fit for a King" challenge. For the hoax, the producers named the faux reality show Lap of Luxury, with a $100,000 top prize "awarded" to the "winner." Perhaps in an attempt to keep things as close to actual reality shows as possible, at the end of every episode an eviction ceremony was conducted in which each contestant voted to evict someone, and the person with the most votes was eliminated. After the written finish was executed, the actor in question would take a plate with their face painted on it and give it to Garman, who would then state a rhyming couplet that went "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, (name), you're dead to us" then throw the plate into the fireplace, breaking it. In the final episode, the three remaining "players" (in this case Gould, "Brian", and "Hutch") faced a final vote from the evicted "houseguests" (similar to the final Tribal Council on Survivor), with the one getting the most votes "winning". The show experienced an unexpected shift during an early episode. Earl ("the Veteran") had bonded with Gould. When Earl was "voted" off the show, Gould began to weep and question his possible monetary gain at the cost of competing against his new friends. Both the other "contestants" and the show's executives allegedly questioned the future of the show. While Gould was kept in the dark until the very end, the tone of the show was apparently altered (according to the voiceover of the early episodes). While the original premise had been to make situations funny at Gould's expense, it became clear that the audience would sympathize too strongly with his earnestness; later games and contests were rigged to ensure he would win. Gould's sensitivity came to the forefront in a later episode featuring a sumo wrestling contest. Gould knocked down Kristen Wiig, playing "Dr. Pat", causing a real life head injury that forced her to be taken to the hospital. Gould eventually won the contest but was disturbed by the incident. The next day, when Wiig returned to the show, still in character, Gould gave her the all expense paid spa vacation he had won earlier. The producers added a twist in the series when Hutch was eliminated due to breaking the rules. After the said elimination he returned and (as noted above) made the final, and he was declared the "winner" just before the hoax was revealed. In the show's October 28, 2003 finale, which aired to over 3.4 million viewers (the all time record for a non wrestling show on TNN/Spike up to that time), Gould learned the truth and received the $100,000 prize for which he was "competing," along with the two vacations and a new plasma TV. He later recorded commentary that was included in Mo' Joe Schmo, a rebroadcast of the series. The Joe Schmo Show was released on DVD with additional and uncensored footage in 2004. Gould's plaintive cry, "What is going on?," delivered upon his discovery that the show was a fraud, became a popular catchphrase. Spike TV has since used the phrase at the end of the network's other original productions, some of them involving Gould himself. Some cast members have gone on to bigger success, including Kristen Wiig, who landed a regular spot on Saturday Night Live in 2005, and also went on to co write and star in the 2011 film Bridesmaids; Lance Krall, creator, writer and lead of VH1's Free Radio; Ralph Garman, a voice actor on Family Guy and co host of Hollywood Babble On; and David Hornsby, who is a writer, supervising producer, and performer on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Creator/producers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick went on to a number of projects, including the films Zombieland and Deadpool.

Джо Шмо 2 (2004)
В 2004 году телеканал Spike TV выпустил второй сезон шоу «Джо Шмо», названный «Джо Шмо 2» и с тегом "The Schmo must go on". Вместо повторения концепции первого сезона, продюсеры сатиризировали реалити-шоу о свиданиях, такие как «Холостяк» и «Холостячка», с помощью фальшивого шоу под названием «Последний шанс на любовь». На этот раз целью было обмануть двух человек – мужчину и женщину. Роль мужчины исполнил Тим Уолш, а Ингрид Визе была выбрана в качестве женского «шмо». Премьера сериала состоялась 15 июня 2004 года. Ральф Гарман вернулся в качестве ведущего второго сезона в роли Дерека Ньюкасла, покрасив волосы в блонд и надев фальшивую бороду, очки, голубые контактные линзы и накладные зубы, а также говоря с британским акцентом, чтобы его не узнали новые участники. Оригинальный «Джо Шмо», Мэтт Кеннеди Гулд, снялся в эпизодической роли в эпизоде «Джо Шмо 2» в качестве курьера пиццы, но этот фрагмент был вырезан, когда канал решил сократить эпизод; он появился на DVD. В 2009 году «Джо Шмо 2» был выпущен на DVD с дополнительными и нецензурированными кадрами. Сериал неожиданно изменил направление в первые же минуты, когда Визе начала подозревать некоторых из своих коллег-участников (особенно когда одна из них, которую наняли только для первого эпизода в качестве участника, которого должны были немедленно выбыть, и которая не знала о природе программы, сказала Визе, что ее агент организовала ее участие в шоу). В течение следующих нескольких эпизодов Визе начала замечать дополнительные сюжетные дыры и моменты, которые казались срежиссированными. Ситуация достигла апогея, когда персонаж «Кэмми», которая должна была рассказать Ингрид секрет, прервала свой рассказ, чтобы дать оператору возможность сменить батарейки. Визе начала открыто сомневаться в конкурсе, в конечном итоге заявив во время интервью, что она не верит в его реальность. Поскольку Уолш ничего не подозревал, продюсеры продолжали вести шоу как обычно, одновременно пытаясь понять, что делать с Визе. В конце концов было решено, что продюсеры должны раскрыть Визе, что она правильно догадалась, что все это – обман, во время мероприятия, в котором Уолш не присутствовал. Затем Визе было сделано предложение: если она согласится остаться в шоу, фактически став членом актерского состава, и не расскажет Уолшу об обмане, она получит тот же приз в размере 100 000 долларов, который Уолш получит в конце сериала, если он сам не раскроет обман. Визе согласилась. На ее место в качестве женского «шмо» в актерский состав была добавлена Аманда Ноттон, родом из города Аппер-Сент-Клер Тауншип, штат Пенсильвания. Тим Уолш женился и у него родилось двое детей. Он стал владельцем бара, который позже продал, а затем начал руководить работой бара «Ратуша» в Вашингтоне, округ Колумбия.
In 2004, Spike TV aired a second season of The Joe Schmo Show, called Joe Schmo 2 and tagged, "The Schmo must go on." Rather than duplicate the premise of the first season, producers satirized reality dating shows such as The Bachelor and The Bachelorette with a fake show called Last Chance for Love. This time the premise was to fool two people, a man and a woman. The male role was filled by Tim Walsh, while Ingrid Wiese was chosen to be the female "schmo". The series premiered on June 15, 2004. Ralph Garman returned to host the second season as Derek Newcastle, dying his hair blond and wearing a fake beard, glasses, blue contact lenses, and false teeth plus spoke with a British accent so he would not be recognized by the new contestants. The original "Joe Schmo," Matt Kennedy Gould, taped a cameo appearance during an episode of Joe Schmo 2 as a pizza delivery man, but the segment was cut when the network decided to shorten the episode; it did appear on the DVD. Joe Schmo 2 was released on DVD with additional and uncensored footage in 2009. The series took an unexpected twist within minutes of its beginning when Wiese became suspicious of some of her fellow contestants (especially when one — who had only been hired for the first episode as a "contestant" to be immediately eliminated, and was not aware of the nature of the program — told Wiese that her agent had arranged for her to appear on the show). Throughout the next few episodes, Wiese began noticing additional plot holes and moments that seemed scripted. Things reached a head when the character of "Cammy", who was supposed to be telling Ingrid a secret, paused her story in order to allow the cameraman to change batteries. Wiese began openly questioning the contest, eventually stating during an interview segment that she did not believe it was real. Since Walsh had not suspected anything was awry, the producers continued to conduct the show as it was while at the same time trying to figure out what to do with Wiese. It was finally decided that the producers would reveal to Wiese that she had correctly deduced that the entire thing was a hoax during an activity where Walsh was not present. Wiese was then made an offer: as long as she agreed to stay on the show, in effect becoming a cast member herself, and to not reveal the hoax to Walsh, she would receive the same $100,000 prize that Walsh would be given at the end of the series had he himself not figured the hoax out. Wiese agreed. In her place as the female "schmo", Upper St. Clair Township, Pennsylvania native Amanda Naughton was added to the cast. Tim Walsh had found a wife and had two children. He had become an owner of a bar, which he later sold, then began overseeing operations at a bar, Town Hall, in Washington D. C.
