The writer mentioning Winning Lines as a tough game that Dick seemed to hold together made another show of his come to mind. With all the comments on Dick's career, I haven't to now read anything about Dick's hosting The Krypton Factor, another UK import. If it's been mentioned, pardon me. It's just that this also was, in my mind, a game that needed someone like Dick to keep things moving smoothly. Not sure if I caught more than one episode, but the memory that rings in my head comes from a situation where a contestant gave an answer that called for s ruling, and I remember Dick calling, "adjudicator?". I know it probably matched the style and terminology used on the original UK show, however, Dick Clark could get away with a call like that. He could say it in a way that didn't make him come off as a pompous showoff. Think about that word coming out of the mouths of some of our other favorites. It would just sound like they were trying to impress us.
Wonder if the judge wore a powdered wig?
