**Hudson Valley Resident Featured on Popular Fox Game Show**
Viewers of the hit Fox game show “Beat Shazam” may have recently spotted a familiar face. “Beat Shazam” is an American television musical game show that premiered on Fox in 2017. The show is hosted by Jamie Foxx, who also serves as an executive producer alongside Jeff Apploff, the show’s creator along with Wes Kauble.
The game show features three teams of two players each, competing through four rounds (five in season 1) to identify a series of songs. Each correct answer allows the teams to bank money. After the fourth round, the highest-scoring team plays head-to-head against the Shazam app, attempting to increase their winnings by naming up to six songs before the app can identify them. Any team that beats Shazam on all six songs wins the grand prize of $1,000,000. The show exclusively uses the Billboard Hot 100 music chart as its source for song titles.
In a recent episode, a familiar face from the Hudson Valley made an appearance. Joe Mason, a native of Carmel, NY, and current resident of Fishkill, appeared on the show with his friend Kendel from Bayside, Queens. The duo participated in Season 7, Episode 4, which premiered on May 28.
Joe Mason and Kendel tried their luck at winning the $1 million grand prize. Unfortunately, their journey on the show was cut short as they were eliminated after the second round. Despite having $2,000 on the board, they went home empty-handed since the last-place team does not receive any money.
Joe Mason described the experience as amazing. The pair flew to Ireland for the taping and had a great time meeting and spending time with their fellow contestants. Joe expressed his hope to be invited back for a redemption episode in the future.
