Plot Synopsis

"Instant Recall" is part new-school, hidden-camera reality series and part old-school, studio gameshow that first tests your patience, and then tests your memory. Initially, the program is filmed on location and two unsuspecting contestants are separately placed in situations with ear-prompter-wearing, improv actors playing outrageous roles -- a nail salon patron whose feet are soaked in chicken soup; a woman waiting at a restaurant who gets dragged into the lurid family drama at the next table; or even a dad-to-be thrown into a highly unusual birthing class-with him in the stirrups. Each wild scenario ends with the magic words: "Do you like game shows?" The two contestants the vie for cash and prizes by answering questions about details of the events they just endured.
