Short list this week...

Very nice looking copy of Stump the Stars, I don't recall coming across this one before.
Postcard sent to people who sent a question into "Quiz Kids", explaining the selection process and prize given if their question was selected.
Contrary to what I've read before, a ticket for The $25,000 Pyramid pilot shot on November 19, 1996; just who is Avoca Productions?
Ticket to a taping of What's My Line? starring Harry Anderson.

I don't know, but that name sounds familiar for some reason.

"Pryamid"?

That's the 1996 pilot listed on Mike Burger's site with Mark Walberg. Funny note - they misspell the show's title on the ticket as "The $25,000 Pryamid."

The late Randy Amasia also posted a scathing review of the pilot after seeing it. From what it sounds like, it made Donnymid and Davidson look like classic 70s and 80s Pyramid.

My ticket for the November 18, 1996 has the correct spelling on the ticket, as does my ticket from November 16, 1997. 2) Yeah, this version was bad. Very bad. It offended. This was when they were talking about having the "Pyramid Players". The Internet Archive has a copy of Randy's synopsis here.

/yikes, that was a little over ten years ago.
//RIP, Randy. *sigh*

That's the OSCAR-NOMINATED Marky Mark to you, bub.

Let me repeat that. Marky Mark, leader of the Funky Bunch, was nominated for an OSCAR.

Chew on that for a little bit. I'll be weeping in the next room.

Hey, Will Smith was once The Fresh Prince (along with DJ Jazzy Jeff), and he's up for his second Oscar.  Who would have expected that in 1989?

William Shatner has won two Emmy awards.  For his acting.

Nuff said.
This has been another installment of Matt Ottinger's Masters of the Obvious.

The difference is that Smith had an ounce of talent when he was still in the throes of his music career. :)

If I am not mistaken, this is the format where the panel at one point would be interviewing a mystery guest that could possibly be dead.  The panel would ask questions and taped responses of the celebrity saying "No" or "Yes" in various ways would be played back on a monitor (the responses came from that celebrity's earlier appearance on a classic episode of WML in B&W).
