Six Degrees of X (2008)The series, to be announced at the market, initially was greenlighted as a pilot this year, part of an overall development agreement between SPTI's networks group and Los Angeles-based production company Base Camp Films. This marks the first series commission under the pact. Hosted by Mayleen Ramey ("E! News Daily") "Six Degrees" tests the theory that all people are somehow connected by only six degrees of separation, linking today's showbiz celebrities with everyday people from around the world. Each stand-alone one-hour episode will follow two contestants as they race from city to city to seek out the five links that connect them to the featured celebrity. Along the way they compete in challenges, and the first person to successfully find all their links will get the chance to meet the star and win up to $50,000 in cash and prizes. Carmen Electra is the featured celeb in the first episode, which will be shot across three countries in six cities within three days. Production commences this weekend with first episode launching early next year. Base Camp principals Brady Connell ("Survivor," "The Amazing Race") and Jim Jusko ("Air Bud," "Dead Heat") are executive producers. Marie Jacobson, SPTI's executive vp programming and production, international networks, will be unveiling the series as a format at MIPCOM.
