Jill: When a cow wondered on to the set behind me and someone yelled, get the cow out of the shot and i thought they meant me

John: Great question... I've never been asked that. In every interview.

For Jill: How is it going from hosting a hysterical show like Wipeout to transforming into Kate Argent for a way darker and (arguably) more dramatic show like Teen Wolf? Is it difficult to get into the right mindset for each show, or does it come naturally at this point?
WipeoutABC24 karma
Jill: It is actually a relief to go back to playing "jill wagner" after Kate as Kate is a pretty morbid creature. Wipeout brings the light back to my day :-) ( however, i do like playing the bad girl)

Depends when we are shooting. We often shoot in the winter and have had to break thin sheets of ice off the water before shooting. We tried to heat the tanks for the pilot but found it to be hard to maintain.

How bad are the insurance premiums for the show? Has anyone filed a claim?

Have either of you every run the course? If so, what were your times? And is it really as hard as it looks?

Jill Will You Ever Get A Chance From John Henson To Sign Off A Wipeout Episode? ;)

Hi John - How much do you miss hosting Talk Soup, and why is it "More than you can imagine"?
I mean, come on, William Shatner AND Adam West in one episode?
WipeoutABC10 karma
John: I LOVED hosting Talk Soup. But after nearly 1200 episodes, it was time to move on. But I try to stay in touch with those guys. Working with them was a BLAST!

Anytime Henson comes down from his pedestal in the sky to say hello to the commoners
WipeoutABC8 karma
John: I'm still partial to Vonti McCray's motivator experience. Has to be seen to be believed.

Jill, is it possible for a Wipeout contestant to impress you? Or does the fact that they're contestants on Wipeout rule out any chance they ever had?
WipeoutABC9 karma
Jill: I workout and wear a fitbit bracelet that really helps, fav sport is Basketball

My question is for Jill & John: What are some of your favorite TV Shows and movies?

How do you find contestants for the show? Also, do you turn away people who are too athletic, or are very, very good at running the course?
WipeoutABC11 karma
Contestants apply through a link on our Facebook page. We are looking for huge personalities. The show is at its best when we put ordinary people in extraordinary situations. There are other shows out there for the extreme athlete.

Which do you think has a better chance of completing obstacles, a duck sized horse, or a horse sized duck?
reedicusgt4 karma
Jill, have you ever gone on a date with anyone who asked you out on the show? John, do you write your own lines?
WipeoutABC19 karma
John: Only the ones you think are funny. Everything else is Jill's fault.
WipeoutABC14 karma
John: Every day I go to work I see a series of very convincing arguments for never trying the course.

Jill I gotta ask will we ever have a vampire vs werewolf wipeout episode?
BarrettPerlman2 karma
If you could swap hosting gigs for an episode on any show, which show would you want to host for a day?
fivebyfive_2 karma
Jill, do you have any funny backstage stories about the Teen Wolf cast?
WipeoutABC6 karma
Jill: God, where does one begin... there are so many,,, Tyler Posey likes to talk about poo.

If you guys have the ability to invite any celebrity you guys want to play in Wipeout? Who would that be?
Laugher3091 karma
Is the new season better than last year in your opinion? Last year seemed to get a little cheesy (if it was possible) and I think the older formats would ironically be a way to renew what might be getting a little tired. Although my grandson and I will never miss it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are kids ever going to be able to compete in the future with parent waivers?
WipeoutABC11 karma
John: I was a big fan of the Human Catapult. Although if you buy one, make sure you read the entire instruction manual. Assembly is key. You don't want any parts left over or someone will end up in the parking lot.

Has any contestant lost their shit and freaked out on you guys for being assholes to them?
yes_imthatguy3 karma
I sooo didn't picture you for the home wrecker type... But I'll let you know when I get a GF and you can wreck it all you want!
WipeoutABC9 karma
We think so. We have a tournament of champions this season. All the winners from each episode return at the end of the summer to compete for the ultimate title. There are a ton of special episodes including "Win a Date With Jill" the return of "Hotties v Nerds", a "Bachelor/Bachelorette" episode and much more.

Hi Jill & John!
This is Bill "The Proposer" Carlson from Season 4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wKcAdCstwg
I just want to say "THANK YOU!" for your help!! Emily and I are now happily married, and being punched repeatedly in the face with a 500 pound pneumatically actuated boxing glove was exactly what I needed to prepare me for marriage. ;)
