Replacing words in game show titles randomly with "slumdog"? HI-larious!

I don't think anyone's advocating replacing words in game show titles.  Adding Slumdog to the title is what makes it funny.  "Slumdog the Price Is Right," not "The Slumdog Is Right." :)
Let's Make a Deal was the first show to air on Buzzr. 6/1/15 8PM.

Well, hey, if you're gonna go that far, don't forget that Bob Stewart hit with the riddles, "Slumdog!" and that Jay Wolpert creation with the chargers and the blockers, "Slumdog!"

Shame on you for forgetting the one that put Merv Griffin on the Game Show Map in the mid 60s which is still going strong...

Slumdog!

I loved how Don Pardo would pronounce it!  :)

Nah, it had its good points.

Besides, it was better than the "what won't get you picked on TPIR" thread that Witch killed.
