"Deal or No Deal" producer Endemol USA has pacted with online video site Metacafe to launch what the two companies are touting as the first TV-style gameshow produced directly for the 'Net. Dubbed "Buzzed," the show will use bar and club patrons as contestants in a game of trivia in which they'll collect coin for each right answer. In a twist on the "lifelines" offered by "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire," contestants will be able to "drunk dial" a friend for help. Metacafe is expected to show one or two new episodes per week, starting in the spring. Segs will run just a couple minutes in length, keeping with the short-form nature of most Metacafe videos; there will be some interactive elements as well.http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117979775.html?categoryid=1009&cs=1
