Time Out For Trivia/What's News?: FNN YouTube Videos Galore

[dmota104]

If you remember TOFT and WN?, BLoblaw005's YouTube channel is worth a look.  Included therein are...

\ A couple of clips from the call-in-and-win game show "What's News?" on Financial News Network (moved much faster than GSN's PlayMania).

\ Four "pre-game show" sketches from "Time Out For Trivia", the call-in-and-win quiz on FNN's "sister network" Score (which, was basically, on the air when FNN was not covering the markets).

\ The unveiling of the official TOFT music video by Russ Axom (reportedly since deceased).

If you look further on that person's video offerings, it's likely you'll see Michelle Roth as one of the hosts on FNN/SCORE's affiliated shopping channel, TelShop. That was an awful lot of network ideas aiming at the same channel space.

Michelle Roth! Time to lock the door.
Great finds these. As a CNBC watcher, it's really something seeing Bill Griffeth with a moustache and Ron Insana with a full head of hair. Sue Herera remains adorable now as then.

Don.... you want adorable, check out Rhonda Schaffler on Bloomberg... I worked with her 20-odd years ago in radio. When she left our station to go work in television, I participated in a "farewell" bit on the air with our morning man at the time, Ian Punnett (who's now in Minneapolis doing a morning show with his lovely wife Marge and also doing Art Bell's show on weekends), about having the biggest crush on her at the station... which I did.

Too many game show connections at FNN/Telshop. In addition to the aforementioned, Match Game 90 player Timothy Lynch was a show host. Models on the JCPenney segments included Theresa Ring and Crystal Owens.

And just for giggles, there were program hosts Nancy Nelson (became a big old infomercial star) and Bob Braun (the King of Television in Cincinnati). And one of the JCPenney models became the well-known actress Eva LaRue.

And we can't let this thread go on without mentioning the TOFT host, one of the truly greats, Todd Donoho. "TAKE A HIKE!"

Taking the whole game show connections a step further, Eva LaRue was John O'Hurley's first wife.

Finding these clips was "Tremendous, my friend!"

Somebody HAD to? Believe whatever you may.
As for Rhonda, yes, I'm with you totally and completely.
Wouldn't mind being with her in that way.
I remember her miniskirt days on CNN and the baggies I went through.
Still a babe.

That was before Eva LaRue married John Callahan, her "All My Children" costar. They are in the process of divorcing, however.

Thus, she shall soon be Eva Howard. Unless Shania says yes first. To be in such demand is a killer, I tell you.
Back to the FNN clips, who is that gravelly-voiced anchor.....reminds me a bit of the sound of the late great Don Harrison.
