The gags there were fewer (seven per day) but more noticeable, such as the on-set "2" being on the wrong side of the "H" in Day 1 and "I Love Hollywood" being used for the opening on Day 2 (along with a blue background instead of red, which looked nicer).[/quote]
Zach, give Dan back his keyboard.

To clarify, Charlie has worked on the show for close to 27 years total; Jack Clark announced from 1980-88, then M.G. Kelly for the first half or so of the 1988-89 season. And yeah, that's very likely the most screentime he'll ever get on the show.

WHOOOOOOOOOOSH!

You're trying way too hard to be the game show historian around here. Most folks here have been watching game shows before you were even born (including myself*), so we know the history of the shows and their announcers. The last person who tried to be the game show know-it-all is no longer here. This isn't Wikipedia, man.

*The lawn. Get off of it.

Not at all. I'm in the sub-section of this community which thinks you should find the egress.

Oh. Definitely don't want to be that kind of person, mainly since I like being here and I don't try to upset anybody. Sorry.

(This coming from me, the guy who copied all the host/airdate information from The Encyclopedia of TV Game Shows onto a text file, then used that info to fix both my personal tape collection and about 100 or so Wikipedia articles. I'm either a hardcore game show fan, or simply had way too much time on my hands.)

I promised myself long ago that I wouldn't act like a jerk around forums, Mike. And I'm really trying to contribute meaningfully to discussions.

A. Mike. You aren't one of my students.
B. You're failing.

Someone mentioned lurking before you jump whole hog into the forum. Dunno if you did that. If not, you should have. (Looking at your join date versus your first post's date, I'd say no.) Also, coming here and spewing information ad nauseum will not make many friends here. Coming here and spewing information ad nauseum and giving credit to someone who posted it as a comment on Buzzerblog will make you even less friends. There are enough resources online and offline in which we can find the same information you're spouting. In short, don't be a frickin' walking encyclopedia who feels pity for himself and is trying way WAY too hard to be liked by the board's members. Listen too. Time will tell if you're adept at that.

I was trying to be polite, sir. I try not to have, show, or imply animosity towards those who hold a higher position than I in the corporate world.

I'm not higher than you, nor am I lower than you. The only people around here with any more status than you or I are Matt and Chris. Never have I seen you address anybody else by their last name. In other words, cut the BS.

. . .

Getting back on discussion, I'm wondering what Wheel will do for 2011 -- just one suggestion, though, and that is not to announce that it's April Fool's Day. That kind of defeats what April Fool's Day on a game show normally is -- everybody acting like it's just business as usual, despite that gigantic elephant over there wearing eye shadow.
