Today show 3/10
« on: March 10, 2006, 07:34:54 AM »
During the 7:30 EST half hour of today's Today Show, Katie Couric has announced there'll be a segment on how watching game shows can help you manage money. It largely focused on financial people who analyzed game shows and risk takers for the past 10 years. Clips from DOND were shown, logical because of NBC, and a few sushi-bar set era clips of J! were shown with wagers being analyzed.

The Wall Street Journal did that a couple months ago during the first wave of Deal shows. It was a pretty intersting article.

People whose intelligence I respect are finding the DoND model fascinating.  Even those who aren't necessarily fans of the show are fascinated by the concepts at work.  Much like the Monty Hall Problem (but infinitely more complicated), math freaks and human behaviorists both are having a field day with this.

Don't know if these have been posted elsewhere here, but NPR's done *two* stories in the last ten days on "DOND" strategies and theories--Here's one from last Friday's "All Things Considered," which I've heard:

And one from the same day's "Day by Day," which I haven't heard:
