I just finished watching a game show called Loteria Loca, its kind of a mix between Bingo, Deal or No Deal and Old Maid, but all the characters are Latino. The host looks like he is a James Bond villain and it has a band with a band leader that is no other than Sheila E. The contestant picks numbers on the board, they show what is behind it, which is a latin symbol - like El Mariposa or La Champana, and each one of those is worth a dollar amount and it goes onto a bingo type board. The James Bond Villian builds up the suspense of what is behind the card because there could be a Mexican death skull, and if you get 3 you are busted. At each break a bunch of dancers come out and salsa dance with the host and the contestant in front of the audience, and every time the contestant picks a "good" card, Sheila E beats on her cow bell and cymbal because, you know, that's all she can do besides looking way over excited about some person picking a random card, and if the contestant picks a skull card, then a bunch of guys dressed up like skeletons comes out and breaks dances to them losing all their money. This show is bananas. If SNL doesn't do a parody of it, they are really missing out

maybe they were ahead of their time. The Manuel Ortiz show is very, very close to what I just watched

"and each one of those is worth a dollar amount"

That doesn't strike me as odd. I would've said he's at least 75...
