You, sir, are completely high.

When the show was under its original title, each trip to the Winners' Circle was worth $10,000.

To my knowledge, the only times it was ever worth less were the $20K-era "Junior" games (*$1K*/$5K/$10K) and the $50K regular play (first trip in a show worth $5K, second for a total of $10K).

And since you are completely high, the question is: do you have enough to share with the rest of the class?

Okay, well, I know FOR SURE that the second half of that statement is false....the $20K show played for $10K for the first trip, $15K for the second, and $20K for the third or further, and you were kicked off the show when you won, no matter where you won at.

But apparently I am in fact high with regard to the 10K show.

My communicative error, apparently - the times I listed were the only times that a trip was worth less than $10,000.

Ah, then that is a true statement.

There was also a Tournament of Champions in 1978 where, except for the final round of play, the payout was only $5,000.

I didn't see the Junior games with Susan Richardson and Jimmy Baio, but the payout was even less the week they had three celebrities: $1K, $2½K and $5K. Likewise, when they had the family-pairs format, it was $2,500 the first trip of the day and $5,000 total for the second. (One of my pet peeves on game shows is having kids play for lower stakes than adult contestants.)

Now that you mention it, I think that was the case during the Richardson/Baio week as well. I must be going senile already.

Update: "Fame Game" tapes its first episodes Monday and Tuesday, June 19 and 20th at Hollywood Center Studios. As the name implies, it's a game based upon contestants' knowledge of the goings-on of the crop of current celebrities. The host is good choice for this game; a well known and funny actor who has had his share of reality TV exposure, but I think this is his first game show hosting experience.

I've already said almost too much. More to come once it becomes public knowledge.

Hm. I wonder how eligible I am for this.

Oh wait. I have no inkling about the goings-on of Paris Hilton and whatnot. Nevermind....

Hi Randy, just a quick question. Is this show being called "Starface" now?

That name came unexpectedly out of left field for me. However, he definitely fits the mold for this type of show.

He could very well be a good game show host. Perhaps he can get a little advice/coaching from former co-host/boss Dick Clark and he'll do okay.

I can't think for a single minute why I would enjoy watching that grating blow-hard host a game show.

I'll give it a shot, of course, and would be happy to be proven wrong, but he's pretty much proven to be an asshat in every other venue I've seen him in.

Yep! Danny Bonaduce is hosting. The first episodes tape Monday and Tuesday.

The flight attendants on Southwest between Vegas and Burbank are starting to know me by name!
