Celebrities who are "one of us".

Coming in a little late here, but I've heard that Neil Patrick Harris is a big game show fan as well.

That translates roughly to "you should find the happy medium between a Daye/Bartram-style string of obscenities and golly-gee whiz-gosh-darn it-to-heck." ;-)

Oh, come on. Everyone knows the king of that was General Chuck or whatever his name was.

Whatever Mr. Gibson may have done, Harvey and Grant surpassed him a long time ago.

Good grief.  Comparing Chuck G. to Harvey Daye and Grant Bartram is like comparing tax evading Wesley Snipes to al-Qaeda.

Ellen DeGeneres always says on her show that she loves Games and Game Shows. She often plays games on her show.

I thought it was mentioned somewhere about this, but I can't find it.  Maybe I'm wrong or just looking in the wrong place.  But I digress from what I wanted to mention.  Alex Trebek will be on Ellen's show today.  Also today is her "Game Week" finale.  Set your VCR/DVR/recording devices.

//The first artist to sample a game show theme in the background so has my money, no matter how bad the content.

It took me ten years to figure out who did this, but I finally figured it out.  Barker would have a heart attack.

Unfortunately, I could only find the instrumental, but here ya go:

Lord Digga- My Flows Is Tight

That requires RealPlayer to hear it. No sale.

Here's a 30 second sample of the above-mentioned song, with lyrics (NSFW):

Lord Digga's My Flows is Tight

\"Call me Merrill, 'cause I'm about to be lynchin'."

Going back to the original subject, I believe that Larry the Cable Guy is a game show fan -- there are several mentions of game shows in Git-R-Done (including a section where he states that he likes The Price Is Right because it allows him to use the word "plinko" in everyday conversation).
