The Norm Blumenthal Interview

[Don Howard]

Those of you who've journeyed to Stosh's site in the past day or two may have listened to the interview conducted by the webmaster with Concentration producer Norm Blumenthal. During the conversation, Norm details how he held fast to allowing champions to play as long as they continued winning without limitation and claimed that Ruth Horowitz "finally lost".
Now am I whackers and cwackers and having another All-Star Trivia Trap moment or wasn't there a 20-game limit for Concentration champions which was reached by Ruth Horowitz, who ended up retired as an undefeated player? And wasn't this accomplishment the basis for her recognition at The 2005 Game Show Congrefs?

Yes to both questions Don. And Norm mentions the 20 game limit in his book from 1975.

/still thinking about Anitra in the tree...

I see. Makes me wonder what else in that interview is inaccurate. Thanking you.
