You say that like it's a bad thing. She still had to win the main game. Would I be annoyed at seeing the same person go to the Winner's Circle over and over and over again? Absolutely. But is that still a sign of how much better she was than the other two finalists? Probably.
That was my point: Debbie Seppien won her $100,000 mainly by not allowing the two male opponents to have a chance at the money. At one point she was on a seven straight tear.

im giving  you 1 shot at the pyramid  winners circle for 100k. you can  go   back  in time to pick any celebrity to help you .  who  do you pick

Dick Clark. He played on Bill's Pyramid, and did so masterfully. I doubt you can find many other celebrity players who have the understanding of the game that Dick does.

Only concern I'd have with Uncle Bill is he might get tripped up on a pop-culture category.  When he was on P+ as a celeb (as opposed to hosting), there was a puzzle where the answer was Laverne & Shirley.  He couldn't get it because in his words he didn't watch much TV (luckily for him, he was able to get all the passwords and his partner solved it after the fifth clue).  So a subject like "What Lenny & Squiggy Might Say" could possibly trip him up, either as a clue-giver or the receiver.

/Not an invitation for clues.

Surprised nobody has mentioned Billy Crystal yet.  He'd be on my short list.

Any of these (save Rolf) would be good choices. If, for some reason, I had to receive the clues, I'd take Charlie Siebert and pray that the judges are in a good mood. He gave a lot of the same type of "on the money" clues that I try to come up with, so it's reasonable to think I'd get them.

My choices:  Barry Jenner or Laurie Hendler.  Barry sent M.G. McCormick up the top of the $100K Pyramid in 27 seconds--one second shy of Billy Crystal's record.  On Laurie Hendler's first taste of playing the $100K Pyramid, she got her contestant (an African-American woman) to win with 'Things That Penetrate' on one clue--A probe.  Absolutely amazing to watch.

Why does the speed record matter? You don't need to set a record to win the money, you just need to win the money.
