Another Change For The Miss America Pageant

[Joseph_Gallant]

The Broadcasting and Cable website is reporting (registration may be required) that not only will the Miss America Pageant be held in January instead of September and moving to CMT, but the show will take place at the Aladdin casino in Las Vegas.

I'm posting this information on this board because the pageant in question has been on television since 1954.

IMHO, holding the Miss America pageant in Las Vegas is like Dick Clark doing his New Year's countdown from Dubuque, Iowa or a Super Bowl game being played on a high-school football field.

The Miss America pagent is on its last legs, as it is increasingly irrelevent to today. I think it will die soon.

From CMT's standpoint, it will be a big attention getter. Will be interesting to see what numbers it draws in the cable universe.

From the pageant standpoint, it will be a colossal turkey, although I suppose Vegas is the most logical choice as a new site. If what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, does this mean no one is going to care?

I agree...the Miss America pageant will fold soon. It is a creaky relic of a bygone pre-feminist age, for a different time and different mentality. Some things simply run their course and die out. Let it go.

The only thing that will save the Miss America pageant is to get the contestants to come out in G-Strings and let them spin around a pole for an hour. The talent could be how seductively they eat fruit. Adam Carolla & Jimmy Kimmel could host with Anna Nicole Smith Marshall as the spokesmodel in the cat-bird seat.........
