Last summer ABC's I Survived a Japanese Game Show was a pleasant surprise for me in the way it captured the bizarre and campy quality of the Japanese TV I've watched since childhood. Between the silly costumes, slapstick challenges, and the combined genius of the sayonara boys and the show's take on the walk-of-shame (eliminated contestant walks away from the studio still dressed in whatever costume they were wearing at the time while melodramatic piano music plays), it was pure TV candy.
The madness is now back for a second season, and it turns out one of the competitors is an out bear comic. The show lists Bob "Bobaloo" Koenig as a "House Cleaner" but he was also a part of the "Bears on the Run" comedy tour, has performed in the Outlaugh! comedy festival and has played roles in gay films like The Gay Bed and Breakfast of Terror and Socket.
