Read that this morning. What a real treat to have a nuts-and-bolts description of the show. The error on "Poe's pendulum" was an amazing revelation behind the curtains. Is that episode one of the ones that disappeared into the ether, or has it been seen in reruns? I don't ever recall seeing that.

I just want to second the thanks. It's interesting to hear it from the celebrity's POV.

Great read, thanks for sharing.

Quote from: 'Dick Cavett'
I still wish the show would come back.
If the pilot taped next month for GSN's Pyramid goes well, I'd hope they'd consider having "New York Times columnist Dick Cavett" on as a player during summer series recordings. Put him against Betty White for a week. That would be fun.

I'll see your "fun" and raise you an "awesome".

ETA: I learned an important lesson yesterday. Make sure you know how many pages an article takes before you just hit "print". There were 27 pages, and only 2-6 had any part of the article itself.

Awesome read...would love to see the "Poe's Pendulum" episode. Stories like that are the reason I love the NYC episodes so much.

I'd like to see him write a column on how his production company got involved with "The Money Maze."
Let's Make a Deal was the first show to air on Buzzr. 6/1/15 8PM.
