They also ran some radio promos over the wknd...heard one on CBS-FM driving home from work Sun. morn, and it was def national, since it said @ the end to "check your local listings".

Huh? If it were an unpaid hobby the IRS wouldn't have their hand so deep in my pocket.

Live show in a casino near you...I forgot. Retract my statement please. Randy, if I see you, the drinks are on me.

Perhaps my mind is confusing the image with that of Bill on the cover of the Eye Guess home game or some such.[/quote]
Might I humbly suggest that the "some such" you saw was here?

I've always felt with his quick wit, crew cut and glasses, Drew Carey was a modern-day version of Bill - of course, a more able-bodied and overweight version thereof.

Bill came up on radio and had a bit more formality about him. Drew is more of a hep cat. Both share an infectious, happy-go-lucky attitude which comes across on camera, as well as some physical resemblance.

Just ramblin'.

When Drew first announced he was going to be host, I got e-mails from most of my non-GS fanatic friends with links to the AP article and asking what I thought of Drew getting hired. I e-mailed all of them back explaining who Bill was and then giving them the link to this photo.

Hey, that guy looks like a skinny Drew Carey!

Hmmm...I can see Matt putting a picture of Drew in place of the pic of Bill atop the forum, and counting to see how long until somebody notices.
