Not sure why there's a big ruffling of feathers that John won't reveal a PILOT host.[/quote]
John shouldn't. I completely get that and have from the beginning. And if he's asked a friend as a favor not to reveal what he saw at a Wheel taping, then we ought to respect that as well.
Still, the only thing worse than saying "I have something, but I'm not sharing" to the game show community is to say "I know something, but I'm not telling." It's assumed when someone is in a professional position, like John, Randy and a few others here, that there are secrets they're bound to keep. When I'm told something by one of those people that's meant to be a secret, I keep it to myself. That didn't happen here, and this is the result.
And yeah, John, your last post basically said that while you can't give us any information about the show, you think it would be fun to watch us speculate wildly about it. If an average fan had posted that, it still would have been pointless but at least it would have been genuine. When a producer who already knows the correct answer and isn't going to say posts it, you have to realize it comes across pretty badly.
