Brady Bunch' star gets game-show gig

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 5 (UPI) -- Television personality Christopher Knight has signed on to be the host of "Trivial Pursuit: America Plays," the syndicated game show's producers said Tuesday.

Knight, who played Peter Brady on the classic TV sit-com "The Brady Bunch," has also starred on several reality TV shows.

Based on the popular board game, the new half-hour "Trivial Pursuit" show is to debut Sept. 22. The series' premiere is timed to coincide with the release of Hasbro's 25th anniversary edition of one of the game.

"I've always been a 'Trivial Pursuit' fan and I can really see TV audiences becoming obsessed with this addictive format," Knight said in a statement. "Once you start it's hard to stop and I think viewers' fascination with pop culture will keep them coming back for more. Or they can tune in and be bathed in my boyish enthusiasm."

Lisa Licht, Hasbro's General Manager of Entertainment and Licensing, added: "We are thrilled to have Chris Knight host 'Trivial Pursuit: America Plays.' We entrust him with leading the re-invention of Hasbro's most popular trivia game and introducing it in a brand new interactive format. His name is completely synonymous with the world of pop culture and we believe that he is a perfect fit for our brand."

I feel compelled to respond to recent statements made in the press by my long time friend Florence Henderson about my marriage to Adrianne Curry.

Let me begin by saying that I love Adrianne with all my heart and can't begin to imagine life without her. Our marriage is as true and certain as the love we share as Husband and Wife. Although we met under the most unlikely circumstances, our romance then and relationship now is as real as any that ever been created.

It hurts me deeply that someone that I have loved and respected for so many years; someone that has held an esteemed position in my life, would discuss overtly negative personal opinions about my marriage in a public forum. Since I was a child I looked up to Florence as a consummate professional and as a woman of unique class. I can only hope these recent comments are an aberration or better yet, taken completely out of context.

My love for Adrianne may have emerged and blossomed from uniquely odd circumstances. Yet the challenges this has created for us seem to pale in comparison to the challenge this has created for some persons to believe in us. It is no secret Florence and Adrianne do not see eye to eye. In truth, I can empathize with both sets of views. But....in the struggle I have hoping one day these two women will bridge their generation and philosophical differences, calling my marriage a sham helps so very little.

I put forth the hope that opne day both Adrianne and Florence, both of whom have played an integral role in my life, will find a way to come together in a peaceful and respectful way. In the mean time, the sanctity of my marriage should not be called into question

Sincerely,

Christopher Knight
