Step right up! Come one, come all!
We've set up shop on the Midway at Keansburg amusement park on the Jersey Shore
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a contestant!
Come on over here, sir.
And we brought along our actor Kevin to test the limits of a classic carnival game
Ladies and gentlemen, it is time to play: "Fool The Guesser!"
The rules are pretty simple.
Let me guess your weight, let me guess your height, let me guess your age. If I get it wrong? You're gonna win one of these fabulous prizes!
But what happens when Kevin goes too far?
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho!
Oh my god, ladies and gentlemen!
Did I win the lottery?
And turns from harmless guesser..
I've dreamed of this! 20 years in the business!
Finally! I get to guess your height!
to offensive bully.
How'd you get down here? Did ya drive down and you strip yourself overnight in a matchbox?
Meet Shawn.
An actor who's dealt with a
lifetime of teasing about his height
Come on man, don't get mad. I don't want this guy to sue me. Ladies and gentlemen, I'd hate to end up in Small-Claims Court
BOOM!
It's insulting,
degrading.
Oh! I'm on fire everybody!
Will anyone step in?
How does it feel to be a bobble-head version of yourself?
Are you serious?
What would you do?
Come on here, let me guess sure. Hey welcome sir. What is your name?
Shawn I don't know if I can guess your age because from behind you look like you're five so that makes it more difficult
What do you think? Can I pick you up? Can I lift you?
Throughout the day. There are all kinds of reactions to this public display of abuse. Hey, let me ask you a question
What is more difficult for you changing a lightbulb or playing with a yo-yo many folks watch from afar, but they refuse to get involved
Come on follow the yellow brick road right back over here this man seems to enjoy what he's seeing
What did you think of what he was doing? I bet he just you know making jokes about the
Come on shot go for it, but not everyone is laughing. Can you arrange it? Come on Shawn jump jump jump jump
We got it everybody. He got it. All right Shawn. I'll pick your price. I
Know I told me could jump
Time to tell Daniel's OED he's on what would you do?
what did you think what you saw I didn't know what to do cause like
Heels like completely that's tormenting the guy you can see the embarrassment
To talk to you he stepped up when someone was making fun of someone else because of their size so you should be very proud
Of your son you raised him, right? All right, this is great. Yeah
We ran it again step right up step right
Oh, oh, I almost didn't see you there sir. And it doesn't take us long to guess what this woman would do
Where do you work in a in a tree making cookies or in Willy Wonka's chocolate factory?
here
No, I I work here because I have a talent I'm very good
And he's having a good time teller, sir
You were upset
I had to voice my opinion cuz you know why I was picked on all my life as a kid
I had acne
I had glasses I was unattractive a lot of people don't say anything, you know, they keep their mouths quiet and go along
But I'm boisterous now that I was picked on can't keep it inside
But will others be able to keep it inside when we switch things up people of New Jersey your governor couldn't be here
But we got Governor Christie stand and come on over here. Let me guess your weight big guy
What will people do when Kevin begins bullying a 12 year old about his weight?
Hey, can we get a like 20 people to help this guy? Get up onto the scale. Don't worry
Nick is an actor and he's agreed to do this to shine a light on the abuse. He faces every day. Hey, come on
Let's roll you right up on that scale
Our professional guesser may think he's being funny, but he's about to learn he's guessed wrong
He seemed like a good guy. You want to get up on the scale?
Come on, Nick get up on the scale. Hey everybody. Let's cheer him on huh. SiC Nick Nick Nick. There you go
There you go. Oh that poor scale. Anyone got a guess on the crowd anyone
Well, I'm just doing my job, sir
I think so. I'm pretty well in a good way. Why don't you guys why do you want to get away?
Look he's having a good time. We're all having fun
Yeah
As part of a show Angela we wanted to know who would speak up. What were you think? I think it's abusive don't listen
I don't like anybody being abused. Nobody likes anybody being verbally abused. I mean, I think that's
Ridiculous, but if you're abusing somebody who really can't defend themselves
You're just a nasty person and as the day goes on it's not Kevin's act that turns more heads. It's Nick's defenselessness
We're just having a good time
What am I saying so hurtful you think do I owe him an apology but don't you think it's funny
It's part of a show a TV show called what would you do?
Yeah, yes. How long were you gonna stay here?
Probably for a while until either he walked away until he got an apology. So tell us what was going through your mind
We've all been there at one point. We kind of just like need someone and no one really comes to our rescue
Nik agrees too often, there's no one there to rescue kids when they're being bullied
people just would stare and
Laugh and actually try and like join in on the mockery type of thing
But back on the boardwalk its moms to the rescue. First up Susan Alessi
Hey, we're just trying to have a fun game here
When he wins one of our fabulous prizes sure
He can't get on any of the rides that's cruel man, I
Don't owe them an apology. I owe him a prize. He's part of the show, right everybody. Everybody's having a good time
Right everybody chant for Nick Nick Nick, Nick, Nick see two people over there. They're on my side
And now another model Marie LaVon swoops in to help young Nick
Hey missus what he's doing for his life
Okay, that's the only way he knows how to make people little people in life walk away from
Okay, that's my advice as a mother
He just wouldn't quit now
he would I've done this before and I've gotten cold names saying don't butt in don't butt in and if that's not the way the
World works. That's why I love you show and that's why Marie gets the last word with the crowd
