  • Hell Is a Game Show: an Artistic Interpretation Of
    HELL IS A GAME SHOW: AN ARTISTIC INTERPRETATION OF THE AFTERLIFE ______________________________ A Thesis Presented to The Honors Tutorial College Ohio University _____________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Graduation from the Honors Tutorial College with the degree of Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film _____________________________ by Zachary Stoner May 2018 Stoner 1 “Hell is other people,” shouts Joseph Garcin in Jean-Paul Sartre’s 1944 play Huis Clos (No Exit). It was this sentiment that summarizes the entire play: man can never escape the judgment of others and in turn is always in the hell of his own self-judgment. It is this quote, in its various forms and parodies, that would come back to haunt me in ironic ways. But it was also this play that took me down the path that would eventually lead me to the creation of my film: Hell is a Game Show. This project starts before Sartre, with my junior year film Near Sighted: The Usually Alone Interview - specifically with a supporting actress by the name of Evie Weir. Her acting was smart and funny, a natural with the kind of dark comedy that I had become so fond of writing. There’s an old Hollywood expression that goes “directing is ninety percent casting,” and I planned to take that a step further and write my thesis film around a talented actress that had a great knowledge of the craft. I had just finished watching two dark comedies: Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005) and Seven Psychopaths (2012). Both feature comedy that relies heavily on horrible murder or torture.

  • Drew Carey Jumps to Top of List As the Nation's Favorite
    The Harris Poll A Service of Harris Interactive THE HARRIS POLL #75 FOR RELEASE: DECEMBER 15, 1999 DREW CAREY JUMPS TO TOP OF LIST AS THE NATION’S FAVORITE TV PERSONALITY He moves ahead of Oprah Winfrey (#2), Bill Cosby (#3), Jerry Seinfeld (#4) and Kelsey Grammar (#5). _____________________________________________________ by Humphrey Taylor While primetime game shows such as Greed and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire seem to be captivating America these days, the stars of sitcoms and talk shows are most popular. Drew Carey tops the list of the nation’s favorite TV personalities, and Oprah Winfrey ranks a close second. These are the results of a Harris Poll of 1,011 adults surveyed by telephone between October 27 and November 2, 1999. Both sitcoms and talk shows provide America with a comforting diversion from reality. Both also offer well-publicized celebrities. This may explain why stars of these shows, and only these shows, comprise the list of America’s top 10 TV stars. While Drew Carey is #1, he is followed by several of his sitcom colleagues: Bill Cosby (#3), Jerry Seinfeld (#4), Kelsey Grammer (#5), Jennifer Aniston (#6), Tim Allen (#7), and Helen Hunt (#9). Interestingly, no stars from television’s most popular dramas such as Touched by an Angel or Law and Order rank anywhere on the list. Harris Interactive Inc. 111 Fifth Avenue NYC (212) 539-9600 In addition, the stars of TV talk shows, while rumored to be on the decline, capture several of the top spots: Oprah Winfrey (#2), Rosie O’Donnell (#8), Jerry Springer and Johnny Carson (tied for #10).

While at Nebraska, he was a member of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity and served as master of ceremonies for the Kosmet Klub, a male dramatic society.
