The reason why he was compared to 'Running Man' Tom Cruise, 'Mudo' Jack Black
What if it was Infinite Challenge? I thought I saw Tom Cruise, Henry Carville and Simon Pegg in SBS Entertainment Running Man. It was featured in the promotional car broadcast of the movie "Mission Impossible 6", but it was filled with a Game that was too small to be expected at first, and the viewers responded that they were somewhat sorry.
The audience's expectation was higher than ever when Tom Cruise appeared in Running Man in the first place, and it is Tom Cruise who has so many fans in Korea. The scene where Yoo Jae-seok and Tom Cruise shake hands with each other made headlines, and especially the scene where the name tag is attached to Tom Cruise, who came up as a still cut, made him expect to be doing something like a 'name-sharp' chase with the members of Mission Impossible.
But one Game in Running Man that set up these world-class stars was a iron bag quiz (a Game that quickly pops up and closes things in an iron bag), a mystery box (a Game that puts your hands in a box and guesses what is in it), and a Tong-A-Jeo Game. It was a difficult situation to play a Game with a larger scale because it was only about an hour because of the busy movie promotion schedule. But it was still a Game that was far from the expectation given by the notice.
That’s why viewers responded to what it would have been like to be Infinite Challenge, because in fact, these famous foreign appearances are more familiar with Infinite Challenge. For example, Jack Black has become a friendly actor who can be called "Jack Brother" by appearing in "Infinite Challenge". Jack Black, who was so actively immersed in the exciting times of Infinite Challenge, showed his body to be so sweaty. And after that, he continued to connect with Infinite Challenge, and if the Infinite Challenge was still on air, would Tom Cruise have chosen Running Man?
Of course, <Running Man> saw a great audience rating effect with Tom Cruise's appearance. In the first part, they continued to perform the mission on the premise that they would appear, raising expectations and recording 6.8% (Nilson Korea) ratings, and eventually the second part, which they appeared in, achieved 9.5% (Nilson Korea). But as the ratings soared, the Game with Tom Cruise, which I expected through Running Man, felt too small.
These were small, but the vacancy was filled with the manners of World Class star Tom Cruise, Henry Carville and Simon Pegg. Even the small Game showed a passion for the Game, and Simon Pegg gave a sense of entertainment as much as the character. Henry Carville was enough to give him a thrill just by sharing his eyes with the former Somin who liked him.
I wonder if the regret that ended this season is so great or the footprint of the program is so big, and if I look at recent entertainment programs, I wonder what it would have been like if it was Infinite Challenge. For example, watching TVN <Galileo: Awakening Space> and thinking about the space feature that <Infinite Challenge> promoted. The expectation and remaining regret that the meeting between <Running Man> and Tom Cruise has.
