WHODUNNIT?: Anthony E. Zuiker on the Delicate Balance of Creating a Reality ‘Crime-Solving’ Competition

Reality television is by no means a new genre on television, but this Sunday, ABC is giving the formula a little twist with their new series WHODUNNIT?

Contestants are set up in a house and tasked with solving a “murder.” All of the clues that are needed to solve each crime are at their disposal, but it’ll take team work to figure out what exactly went down. And for the contestants who are stuck? Well, they’re at risk of being the next “victim” whose death the group will have to piece together.

“The one thing we found from [the success of] CSI is that we all want to be detectives,” WHODUNNIT? executive producer (and CSI creator) Anthony E. Zuiker told reporters. “So [in our group of contestants] we have a CSI fan, a mother of eight, a Homeland security lawyer, kind of all walks of life. We wanted to make sure they had some special skills in terms of some crime-solving background or lawyer or police to keep it balanced. But we wanted to make sure the audience saw themselves in the characters so they could play along as they were watching. That was kind of our main objective.”

THE VOICE: Carson Daly on Having the Original Coaches in Season 5, the iTunes Advantage, and More

For weeks, THE VOICE season 4 winner, Danielle Bradbery, was a consistent iTunes seller, with her show performances often cracking the top 10 best-selling single list. As such, when it came time to crown a victor — and with all those weeks of iTunes sales adding up for the finale — Bradbery’s win was reasonably expected.

After the finale, I asked THE VOICE host (and producer) Carson Daly his thoughts on the iTunes foreshadowing, and he also spoke about getting the original group of coaches back together for next season, and more…
