History IQ championship airs this Saturday
« on: April 08, 2009, 07:41:34 AM »
I know, I said this a couple of years ago, but it bears mentioning once again.

   The memorable History IQ championship game from June 22, 2001 airs once again on the History Channel (or is it History now?) this Saturday at 6 a.m.

   John Davidson (no, not that John Davidson), Robin Grover and Leszek Pahlowicz compete to see which of them wins $250,000 - still the biggest prize ever awarded on a cable game show.

   History IQ's still loyal audience hopes one day that the Marc Summers-hosted history quiz returns with all-new episodes.

Okay, I'm genuinely confused here...is he saying he mentioned this the last time the show aired, or did he figure out the show's schedule that far in advance (and then actually think we'd remember it)?

(I know, I know...it's Henke.  I'm still curious.)

  • Just leave the set; that’d be terrific.

I checked the History Channel schedule and saw the championship would air this Saturday.

I'm pretty certain most of the "loyal audience" mourned the loss of the show for a second, and then moved on.

The funny thing about this thread is that Brian pretty much copied his post from last time word for word, except this time, he made a point to butcher the spelling of Leszek's name even more than last time.

OK, I corrected Leszek's name.

I don't know whether to be surprised that Henke responded twice to this thread, or that Leszek's name is still spelled wrong.

/It's hard to spell, but c'mon.  The wrong spelling lead straight to the correct one by a simple Google search.

When you're at the grocery game and you hear the beep, think of all the fun you could have at "Crazy Rachel's Checkout Counter!"

And the last name was what he got right in the first post. Wow. Talk about not getting it.
