Contestants seen on other shows
« on: February 24, 2013, 02:23:16 PM »

According to a publicity sheet that I saw, a contestant named India Cooper won $10,000 with Dick Cavett on the final season of Bill Cullen\'s $25,000 Pyramid. That win is part of the opening montage on the Swit/Shatner game from that year. She does not look that different, apart from age, from the India Cooper who won $73,400 in 1991 on Jeopardy! and later appeared in the ToC, the Million Dollar Masters and the Ultimate Tournament of Champions. (The only reason I entertain any doubt is that there\'s no mention of the Pyramid appearance on her IMDb page.)

Protecting idiots from themselves just leads to more idiots.

Because as we all know IMDB is infallible.

Why do game show contestants have their own Internet Movie Database page?
If you didn’t create it, it isn’t your content.

No idea.


 


(Truly, I don\'t know who posted any of my information.  Stranger Than Fiction was an amateur, not-even-student film that happened to have a couple of professionals in the cast.)

This has been another installment of Matt Ottinger's Masters of the Obvious.
Stay tuned for all the obsessive-compulsive fun of Words Have Meanings.

She\'s acted on Law & Order, which explains having the IMDb page, and it mentions J! but not Pyramid.

Strangely, your film is appreciated more by non-US residents.
