“Believe it or not” [game show Christmas skit]

[either for 3 persons (multiple statements each) OR several person skit (one or two statements each)]

Announcer: Good evening and welcome to “Believe It or Not”, the game show where contestants try to outdo one another with strange and hard-to-believe facts. Tonight is our grand final show. And now I’d like to introduce our finalists.

How was your week? Any last-minute study?

Contestant 1: Fine, just spent it relaxing, reading Wikipedia from A through to Z.

Announcer: Well, you should be ready to go. And Steve, how ‘bout you, any last-minute study?

Contestant 2: Not really, other than watching 6 Jeopardy re-runs.

Announcer: Just 6 shows?

Contestant 2: 6 seasons, actually.

Announcer: Well, this should be a cracker of a game. You all know the rules by now, you simply have to share a fact that is more amazing that the previous contestant’s fact.
If a player cannot produce a more amazing fact, the previous player is the winner.

The brief given to Scott: A short play about hope in Jesus


If you have multiple live cameras running on the day and showing on the screen, have one pointing at the news desk and another at each ‘location’ that is crossed to – so the big screen shows the news program as if on TV. Have the actors speak into the cameras also.

Two are seated at a news desk (or one, if you haven’t the actors) and the other actors appear elsewhere for their live crosses, then leave.

  

(Some ‘newsy’ intro music is played as the lively news readers begin to talk.)
