Who Wants to Host a Game Show?
« on: October 06, 2008, 03:24:23 PM »
Article about game shows from NYT
   
Interesting thing (to me, anyway) is that all game shows are being treated as equals in the story, and every bit as much attention is being given to Bingo America's Richard Karn as is to DOND's Howie Mandel.

And of course there's a quote from Fred.

Roggin wouldn't be able to give a quote unless it was given to him on cue cards.

And I was thinking of Fred Willard.

(Probably, it's because I watched Silver Streak, in which Willard has a small role, this past Saturday.)

I also remember a tribute album called Skynyrd Frynds. Somehow, I never imagined that Wynonna Judd was a frynd of Skynyrd.
