Bobcat's Big Ass Show is an American game show that aired on FX in 1998. Hosted by comedian Bobcat Goldthwait and announced by Eric Waddell, the series was based on a concept created by Waddell and packaged by Stone Stanley Productions. The show features contestants competing in stunts.[1][2]
The first part of the show featured contestants playing three games mainly based on Truth or Dare? Two contestants participated in each game; the winner of that game (as determined by audience applause) would become one of three finalists in a final round; the three losers of each game, as well as the two losers of the final round (collectively referred to in-show as "big ass losers") would be subjected to humiliation backstage.
One example of a stunt involved toy animals, and it was up to the contestant to act out getting chomped by the animal on the face (the stunt's name as an example was "When Animals Attack").
Second part
The second part involved the three winners of each game, with each contestant begging and pleading to the audience why he or she wanted to go on the grand prize vacation. Each contestant "begged" for six seconds, and after each contestant was finished pleading, the audience cheered depending on how each contestant did. The contestant with the most enthusiastic response from the audience went on to the bonus round.
