Gameplay

The game involves two 15-minute periods, in which a random person would be asked to act out or re-enact a famous Hollywood movie scene (such as the race scene from the 1964 movie Viva Las Vegas). They would then be helped out by Adams and guest celebrities that appeared on the show. Blunders such as forgotten lines, failures of props, and celebrities ad-libbing would provide more comedy.

A second contestant would do the same. At the end, both contestants would see their screen tests, and the contestant whose screen test got a bigger reaction from the audience received a trip to Hollywood to take part in a real screen test to be in an upcoming movie or television show.

Episode status

The series is held in its entirety (including the hour-long pilot taped May 16, 1975) by Universal Television but has not been seen since its original airing.
