Whoa. Hal Sparks has starpower?

Are you pulling my leg? Because if you're not, this actually gives her something to be famous for.

Wow.

In all of that, I found it amusing that you would be the celebrity.

My brain just melted.

Ha, ha. Had I been the contestant, I may very well have been silenced on threat of winnings forfeiture.

Tell me you're joking.

You're not funny.

Back to the subject, I'd accept the "essence" of the category -- in the OP's given category of "Things Oscar The Grouch Would Say", I'd accept it on "Oscar" given the proper clues (no "I'm an award given out", since that's describing the award rather than The Grouch).

You've already lost the twenty bucks that Livinia gives you to start the game, and you keep right on digging.

/*ahem* Sorry.

Yes. Yes you are.

despite the fact that I'd have a legitimate case with Standards & Practices (where were they when Donnymid aired?!)

The fact that you would suggest that Standards and Practices were either not present or not paying attention is very revealing to your character, if you purport to be a "game show fan".

Actually I thought we've established that S&P has all but been abolished in the modern era.

We were introduced to ours on Password. The contract refers to them as a "Network Program Practices representative."
