Holey Moley is an American sports reality competition television series created for ABC by Chris Culvenor. The series is produced by Eureka Productions and Unanimous Media, with Culvenor, Paul Franklin, Wesley Dening, Stephen Curry, Jeron Smith, Erick Peyton, Charles Wachter, and Michael O'Sullivan serving as executive producers.
The series features contestants competing against each other in a series of head-to-head, sudden-death matchups on a supersized miniature golf obstacle course. Curry stars as the resident golf pro, with play-by-play commentator Joe Tessitore, color commentator Rob Riggle, and sideline correspondent Jeannie Mai. In October 2018, ABC announced they were developing a miniature golf game show. The series was officially announced in April 2019, along with Curry's involvement. Filming of the series takes place at Sable Ranch in Canyon Country, Santa Clarita, California.
Holey Moley premiered on June 20, 2019, and its first season consisted of 10 episodes. In October 2019, ABC renewed the series for a second season, [1] titled Holey Moley II: The Sequel, and premiered on May 21, 2020. [2] In February 2021, it was announced that the series was renewed for a third and fourth season. [3] [4] The third season, titled Holey Moley 3D in 2D, premiered on June 17, 2021. [5] The fourth season, titled Holey Moley Fore-Ever, and featuring the Muppets, premiered on May 3, 2022. As of September 2024, the program has neither been formally canceled, nor renewed for a fifth season. In response to a viewer inquiry in June 2023, Andy Dehnart of the answer column "Ask Andy" reached out to ABC and other contacts, but received no response regarding the status of the show. He noted that the producers had issued a casting call for the fifth season, which stated that applicants must be available to travel internationally in February and March 2023. [6] On May 10, 2024, TVLine reported that Holey Moley was among several shows on ABC that had "yet to be formally renewed for additional seasons." [7]
In October 2018, ABC released a casting call for a new game show called Mega Miniature Golf looking for miniature golfers to compete against each other for a grand prize. [8] ABC officially announced the series in April 2019, with the title Holey Moley. Professional basketball player Stephen Curry serves as executive producer and resident golf pro on the series, with ESPN/ABC's Joe Tessitore calling all the play-by-play commentary, comedian and actor Rob Riggle providing color commentary, and television personality Jeannie Mai as a sideline reporter (with Tessitore and Riggle wearing the same jackets that were worn by ABC Sports commentators in the 1970s). The series is produced by Eureka Productions and Unanimous Media, [9] and created by Chris Culvenor, who is executive producing alongside Curry, Paul Franklin, Wesley Dening, Charles Wachter, Michael O'Sullivan, Jeron Smith, and Erick Peyton. [10] Culvenor explained that producers saw that other television competition series were dominated by fitness enthusiasts and wanted to create a show that most people could partake in. He called the series "a serious competition put in a really silly world." [11]
Filming for the series takes place at Sable Ranch in Canyon Country, Santa Clarita, California, [12] which was previously used for the obstacle course game show Wipeout . [12] [13] Filming lasts several weeks and occurs late at night. The production films as many competitions as possible at each course on a given night, rather than simply filming the contents of a single episode each night. [12] The golf course and obstacles were built on the ranch by The ATS Team, which creates obstacle courses and large-scale fanciful environments for shows such as American Ninja Warrior , The Titan Games , and Big Brother , in association with Eureka Productions. [14] Tessitore indicated that some holes, such as Double Dutch Courage, remain standing because it is "a signature hole", but others are "shut down after three or four days". [12] Filming for the first season took place on April 3–5 and 8–11, 2019. [15]
The second season was filmed in February and March 2020. [16] The third and fourth seasons filmed back-to-back in March 2021, with a small number of recurring spectators due to the COVID-19 pandemic; additional footage of unmasked spectators filmed during previous seasons has been edited into these seasons. [16]
In the first season, each episode consisted of 12 mini-golfers that compete in a series of head-to-head, sudden-death matchups on a supersized miniature golf obstacle course. Winners move on to round two and from there, only three will make it to the third and final round, where they compete on the "Mt. Holey Moley" hole in a three-way contest. The winner earns "The Golden Putter" trophy, a "Holey Moley" plaid jacket and a $25,000 grand prize. [9]
In the second season onwards, it was changed to 8 mini-golfers each episode with a new miniature golf obstacle course. Round one and two remains the same head-to-head, sudden-death matchups with winners of each matchups moving on. Round three was changed to a head-to-head matchup. The winner still earns "The Golden Putter" trophy and a "Holey Moley" plaid jacket, but instead of the $25,000 cash prize, the winner earns a spot in the finale where they may have a chance to putt to win the $250,000 prize.
The larger-than-life mini-golf course for the first season features 10 supersized themed holes: [9] [17]
The course for the second season features 17 supersized themed holes (although it was originally reported to feature 18, like a traditional golf course. This fact was made fun of in the season finale, with Rob Riggle asking "Did we run out of money?"): [30]
The course for the third season features 14 supersized themed holes and 1 portmanteau hole: [32] [16]
The course for the fourth season features 14 supersized themed holes and 1 mashup hole:
