 During the month of February, the Tonight Show
set out to choose its very own Hollywood Survivor.
Eight celebrities, having survived (in Jay's words)
'Hollywood Rerun Hell', were chosen to compete
for the title "Hollywood's Ultimate Survivor".
Dawn, Danny Bonaduce (The Partridge Family),
Gary Coleman (Different Strokes) and Alison
Arngram (Little House on the Prairie) made up
the Topanga Tribe, while Florence Henderson
(The Brady Bunch), Charlene Tilton (Dallas),
Jerry Mathers (Leave It to Beaver) and Adam Rich
(Eight is Enough) made up the Cahuenga Tribe.
Every Friday night the two tribes met in immunity
challenge after immunity challenge - eating
humongous brussell sprouts whole (the stomach
turns at the very thought), searching through muck
to find a match that would light the tribe's aroma
therapy candle (manicurists gasped as this
challenge ruined their handiwork), turning their
sitcom sets upside-down in hopes of being the one
to find the cell phone that would ring straight
through to the phone on Jay's Tonight Show desk.
The competition was fierce as each celebrity tried to claim victory and become
Hollywood's Ultimate Survivor!

In the end, Jerry Mathers - yep, that's right, The Beav - went home with the trophy, but
that doesn't mean the others went home empty-handed, not when they shared the joy
of competition and the satisfaction of knowing their work in some of television's most
popular series will continue to entertain the millions of fans the world over.
CONGRATULATIONS, JERRY! |
