Who wants to own a game show host
« on: April 04, 2009, 02:43:39 PM »
The Hollywood Wax Museum is auctioning off a bunch of their wax statues.  If you've ever wanted Cyndi Lauper or Julio Iglesias in wax -- and who doesn't?  ;-) -- this is your opportunity.

As for the relation to game shows, well, it's a bit tenuous in that the hosts on auction are better known for other things.  Who Do You Trust host Johnny Carson, of course, got his wax statue for hosting The Tonight Show, (there doesn't seem to be an Ed McMahon statue on auction).

And the host of Show Me the Money had a career as an actor before his time as a host.  Unsurprisingly, it's not for his role as T.J. Hooker that William Shatner got his wax statue.

Have fun looking at the kitsch on auction!

Edited well after PYLdude's post to correct the link, which had one slash too many.

I suppose you can still learn stuff on TLC, though it would be more in the Goofus & Gallant sense, that is (don't do what these parents did)"- Travis Eberle, 2012

The parts that weren't sent to Cash4Gold, that is.
