High Risk (TV show)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
High Risk was a program aired by the CBS television network as part of its 1988 fall lineup.
The genesis of High Risk was a 1988 strike by members of both the Writers Guild of America, East (WGAE) and Writers Guild of America, west (WGAw) against the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. Unable to produce regular, scripted series, programs such as High Risk were put together to serve as entertainment in the interim until the strike could be resolved. Dangerous featured "high-risk" stunts and jobs such as Border Patrol agent, automobile repo men, cave explorers, and thrilling roller-coaster testers.
Intended strictly as an interim, "filler"-type program, High Risk was cancelled shortly after the writers' strike was resolved.Some guest hosts included,David Frost,and Jeana Yaeger. Alan Landsburg produced this short run TV program at the time.
