It's on the FOX channel. Well, one of the games was to see who of two keyboardists could play a chromatic scale all the way up the keyboard and hit a tap light afterwards the fastest. Well, one contender was some schmoe from a band called Level 42 or something. And then the other was the illustrious Rick Wakeman. The famous keyboardist from Yes, which wasn't mentioned on the show. Maybe japanese people have a problem with saying Yes out of context or something. Well, the Level 42 guy went from the lowest note and played to the highest and hit the light in 9.1 seconds. Then Rick Wakeman did it and it took him 9.5 seconds. So shameful........I taped it, but I can't really post it on the internet or anything. My dumb TV card doesn't work well.


Scientific proof.
