(In case this isn’t already clear: At least one contestant in every episode of Holey Moley could credibly pass as a not at all distant cousin of Steve Stifler from American Pie.) “It’s hard to know which Glauser brother irritated me the least,” Riggle remarked during that episode. 2, Michael Glauser, who competed in episode four, even made up his own insufferable catchphrase, which is, and I really do quote, “I’m the guy, dude.” As an added bonus, the brothers also happened to be a pair of showboating tools. A pair of siblings getting to compete within the first four episodes of Holey Moley suggests the rules on this show are lax at best. It turned out the American-flag-pants-wearers were brothers. Contestants have strutted around the greens in banana pants, court-jester pants, leopard-print pants, and, on two occasions, American-flag pants. Its contestants, who play elimination holes until a new weekly Holey Moley champion is crowned, have apparently been told by producers to wear the most embarrassing outfits imaginable - which is why one competitor came dressed in a unicorn onesie (“I am the Kobe Bryant of golf,” he declared reader, he was not) and others have made a sport out of wearing ridiculous trousers.

“And yes, it’s on prime time with an absurd budget.”Ībsurdity is at the center of Holey Moley’s code of conduct. “Yes, this is literally a mini-golf competition,” Riggle announced at the beginning of the first episode. Monday Night Football broadcaster Joe Tessitore and actor Rob Riggle act as the hosts and color commentators.
One of Holey Moley’s executive producers is Steph Curry, who appears a couple of times in every episode to drive a golf ball and do a brief, unnecessary interstitial comedy bit.

Holey Moley combines the obstacle-course features of Ninja Warrior - or, more accurately, the defunct ABC series Wipeout - with mini-golf, resulting in holes that have classic mini-golf obstacles but also zip lines and rolling logs that could knock a less-than-alert golfer out cold. Let’s start with Holey Moley, a show created by producer Chris Culvenor, presumably after he got high while perfecting his short-putt game and watching American Ninja Warrior. In different ways, watching each one is like taking a mini-vacation.

The two shows are different in approach, sensibility, and basic attitudes, yet both are ideal summer TV programming. The mini-golf show is Holey Moley, and its ten-episode season started airing Thursday nights on ABC in June. The glassblowing series is called Blown Away, and its ten episodes dropped on Netflix earlier this month.
The latter takes its craft very seriously the former could not take itself less seriously unless all the hosts and competitors decided to do an entire episode standing on their heads, which, quite frankly, seems like a thing that could happen. One of those is about extreme miniature golf the other is about glass blowing. At this point, it seems like this category of television may have run out of specialties to focus on.īut this summer, two new shows have proved that there is still new terrain for reality competition shows to explore. There have been shows about cooking, baking, singing, survivalism, fashion design, dancing, modeling, doing drag, global trekking, more baking, obstacle-course completion, crafting, entrepreneurship, makeup artistry, and bad baking. Over the years, the reality competition genre has explored many skill sets.
