The Big Moment - Tablecloth Pull

This clip is from the short-lived ABC show "The Big Moment". On this show, a person had one week to practice a given task (memorizing the first 100 digits of pi, balance a ladder on your chin, etc.) for a $25,000 prize package.

The woman in this clip had to pull a tablecloth off a fully-set table without anything falling or spilling. She hadn't been able to do it the entire week, and was clearly nervous. Could she pull it off... literally?

did 1 of the kids ever attempt a challenge?

[Loogaroo1]

There were some challenges that involved the whole family, but usually it was the mom or dad that got saddled with the challenge.

She screams like he seen Jason

I don't remember balloons in this show CONFETTI and STREAMERS I remember.

Other challenges include:

Playing "My Favorite Things" note-for-note tempo included

Shoot a basketball from the Out of Bounds area

Memorizing 12 diffrent Baskin-Robins flavors

Guessing 30 diffrent flags

Dunking a Parent within a 200 foot range

If sucessful, the family wins $25,000. If not, $2,000.

That host Brad Sherwood is AWESOME :D

[coleyd]

That is an amazing moment! She deserved to win that $25,000 for her family! Amazing!

actually, i should've asked if they ever attempted it ALONE.

[johnnyafairbanks]

Yes, and on "Happy Family Plan" (in which "The Big Moment" was based on), only the dad has to tackle the challenge.

Now that's a reaction!

[Noraa972]

i thought it was "and remember it's not a big moment, unless we say it is!" after he said that.

[gshowguy]

I recall he said "Remember when I said we had more Big Moments coming? I got carried away; we're outta time, see you next time on The Big Moment!"

Also, I recall that after someone won the $25K, and after commercial, the confetti and balloons and streamers seemed to be gone in an instant.
