Someone posted that it would have to be more b-list or c-list celebs. Probably a step up from Caite but you aren't going to see Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes running around either. Phil mentioned Drew Barrymore and Sarah Jessica Parker. I would be surprised if they could get a cast of celebs of that caliber.

docol:
it is very hard trying to hide "unknown" people from the spoilers...so, if there's an celebrity edition it will be like IMPOSSIBLE not to know where they are or what are they doing...i don't think CBS will say ok to this..!!

I think when you read the original article theschnauzers posted, and not the rewrite, it is pretty clear that Phil is saying they don't think it would work.


--- Quote ---Keoghan says there have been talks about featuring a Hollywood edition but the realities of celebrity life make the possibility daunting. Though the show has hosted someone from Tinseltown before – actor-screenwriter-director Mike White (School of Rock) participated last year – its a far different situation when it involves busy actors. “The question that always comes up is would we be able to get them out of their schedule,” explains Keoghan. “They say they want to do it, but the reality is would their schedule allow for it, and would they really be able to put up with the schedule itself. It’s very different than anything else that’s shot, like a movie set. We sort of have to adhere to the rules of the world as opposed to creating our own rules on a set or in a studio. We are beholden to what happens in the real world. That makes it really tough.”
