55.
BACK TO YOU.
JEFF: A GAME THAT BECAME A
WORLDWIDE PHENOMENON HAS COME TO
LIFE.
YOU FEEL YOUR
SURVIVOR EXPERIENCE
PREPARED YOU FOR THIS?
100%.
NO, NO, NO.
LET'S PUT TWO MINUTES
ON THE CLOCK.
HERE WE GO.
THREE, TWO, ONE.
SHARON: THE MOBILE GAME "CANDY
CRUSH" IS NOW A NEW LIVE-ACTION
GAME SHOW RIGHT HERE ON CBS 2
AND A HOST OF THE SHOW IS MARIO
LOPEZ.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
COMING BY.
THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
SHARON: HOW EXCITING.
INCREDIBLY EXCITING.
IT IS THE FIRST MOBILE
GAME THAT HAS BEEN
ADAPTED INTO A TV SHOW,
LITERALLY TRILLIONS OF
ROUNDS HAVE BEEN PLAYED
ALL AROUND THE WORLD AND
PEOPLE LOVE TO PLAY
CANDY CRUSH AND IT'S FUN
AND HAVING FUN IS GOOD
FOR YOU.
YOU CAN PLAY ANYTIME
ANYWHERE.
WE HAVE TURNED THAT INTO
THIS GAME SHOW WHERE
TEAMS OF TWO PEOPLE
COMPETE TO WIN $100,000
AT THE END OF THE DAY.
IS FAMILY FRIENDLY, FUN.
I TALK SO MUCH THAT
MIGHT VOICES COURSE.
IN OUR KICKOFF EPISODE
WE HAVE ALL STARTS
EPISODE FROM SURVIVOR
AND BIG BROTHER.
THEY ARE TV SAVVY AND
THEY GET INTO IT RIGHT
TO THE LAST SECOND.
JEFF: BEFORE YOU HOOKED UP WITH
THE PRODUCERS AND BECAME THE
HOST HAD YOU PLAYED IT?
I HAD.
I LOVE GAMES AND I WAS
VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE
GAME, SO IT WAS A
NATURAL TRANSITION.
I WAS INTERESTED TO SEE
HOW THEY WOULD MAKE IT
INTO A TV SHOW.
WE ALREADY HAVE A
GUINNESS BOOK OF WORLD
RECORD.
DIRT-- THOSE ARE
LITERALLY LIKE THREE
STORIES HIGH AND YOU
PLAY THE GAME ON THESE
HUGE BOARDS AND PEOPLE
REALLY RESPONDED IN THE
AUDIENCE GOT INTO IT, SO
I'M ANXIOUS FOR THE
KICKOFF SUNDAY JULY 9.
SHARON: FOR THOSE PEOPLE OUT
THERE WHO MAY NOT BE FAMILIAR
WITH THE GAME.
JEFF: LIKE ME.
SHARON: AND I SHAMEFULLY WILL
ADMIT ME.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO
HAVE
BECAUSE YOU ARE
ESSENTIALLY MATCHING
CANDIES.
IF YOU ARE MATCHING
CANDIES AND YOU ARE
SWIPING AND SORT OF
FIGURE OUT, ONCE YOU
PLAY YOU DON'T WANT TO
STOP PLAYING.
YOU GET INTO IT, SO YOU
DON'T HAVE TO PLAY THE
GAME TO UNDERSTAND IT.
BUT, IF YOU HAVE PLAYED
THE GAME YOU WILL REALLY
APPRECIATE IT.
JEFF: YOU HAVE CELEBRITY
CONTESTANTS ON THE PREMIERE
EPISODE, BUT THEN AFTER THAT IS
A REGULAR PEOPLE?
REGULAR FOLKS.
THERE ARE TEAMS OF TWO
PEOPLE AND THEY GET INTO
IT.
JEFF: WHAT DO THEY WIN?
100 GRAND AFTER EACH
EPISODE AND TO HEAR WHAT
THEY ARE DOING WITH THE
MONEY AND A LOT OF
MOVING THE STORIES.
IT'S FINE.
IT WAS FUN FOR ME.
I TALK TO CELEBRITIES
EVERY DAY, SO IT'S FUN
TO HANG WITH REAL FOLK
AND TO SEE THEM GET SO
EXCITED AND TO BE ABLE
TO DO SOMETHING COOL FOR
THEM WAS GREAT.
SHARON: LET'S TALK ABOUT YOU.
HOW DO YOU KEEP LOOKING
SO GOOD?
WE WERE TALKING ABOUT IT
DURING OUR PRODUCERS
MEETING LIKE YOU STILL
LOOKING TERRIFIC.
WHAT IS YOUR SECRET,
PLEASE SHARE.
I TRY TO EXERCISE
EVERY DAY AND BREAK A
LITTLE SWEAT AND LIVE
PRETTY CLEAN.
SHARON: DO YOU EAT CARBS?
I EAT EVERYTHING.
I LOVE TO EAT.
I'M NOT LIVING IN FAST
FOOD RESTAURANTS, BUT ON
THE WEEKEND I GO A
LITTLE NUTS AND HAVE A
CHEAT MEALS AND STUFF.
I WORK OUT MORE FOR
SANITY VAN VANITY.
SHARON: YOU ARE KIND OF A LOCAL
BOY, I BELIEVE BORN IN SAN DIEGO
AND WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL HERE?
I WAS BORN AND RAISED
THERE, BUT I WAS WORKING
HERE AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE
A BIT IN THIS WORLD FOR
LIKE 30 YEARS IN A
PREVENTION LA KITE NOW.
THIS IS HOME.
SHARON: DO YOU FEEL BLESSED?
EXTREMELY BLESSED
PROFESSIONALLY AND
PERSONALLY.
I HAVE A GREAT WIFE,
COUPLE KIDS, COUPLE DOGS
AND THANK GOD THINGS ARE
GOING WELL.
JEFF: HOW OLD ARE YOUR KIDS
BECAUSE I WOULD IMAGINE THEY
WOULD WANT TO COME ON THE SET
AND PLAY THE GAME.
THEY ARE SIX AND A
THREE YEARS OLD, SO
DURING BREAKS THEY WILL
COME AND PLAY.
THEY WANT TO BRING THEIR
FRIENDS THAT I'M LIKE
IT'S NOT THAT KIND OF
DEAL.
SHARON: NOT A BIRTHDAY PARTY.
THEIR BIRTHDAYS ARE
ONLY LIKE A DAY APART.
WE TRY TO GET AWAY WITH
THE DUAL BIRTHDAY PARTY
DEAL AS MUCH AS I CAN.
JEFF: I HEAR YOU KNOW SOMEONE
OVER THERE SO YOU CAN SNEAK THEM
IN.
THAT BOARD IS 55 TV
SCREENS?
YEAH AND IT'S THE
FIRST OF ITS KIND WITH A
BUNCH OF DIFFERENT KIND
OF GAMES PLAYED.
THEY HAVE TO QUALIFY IN
THE SORT OF MANY ROUND
GAMES TO PLAY AT THE END
BECAUSE IT COMES DOWN TO
THE FINAL TWO TEAMS.
ANXIOUS FOR PEOPLE TO
CHECK IT OUT AROUND THE
CORNER.
NOT THE SENATE, BUT THE
FOLLOWING SUNDAY AT
9:00 P.M. ON CBS.
SHARON: THANKS FOR COMING BY.
TAKES FOR HAVING ME.
SHARON: YOU ARE ALWAYS WELCOME
AND I'M SURE A LOT OF LADIES
HERE WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU.
