Mind you, Matt, I was just referring to GS hosts, not actors in general.

Because they\'re celebrating him like he\'s some kind of God! Why stroke his ego? Pimping a book is one thing, but to celebrate his 90th is just giving him an ego stroke he doesn\'t need.




 


And you\'re vilifying him like he\'s some sort of Satan. What\'s the difference?


 


Seriously, the bit about him staging a coup was the biggest load of hossshiat I\'ve read here since I learned about \"the ultimate news source for honest and unbiased information.\"


 




But AFAIK Monty didn\'t have an ego backstage, did he?




 


Here\'s a little hint, junior: this is the entertainment industry. Having an ego to some level is a JOB REQUIREMENT.

Is Orgo aware that Monty Hall would have had a reason to carry an ego, considering after all he owned the production company that put it together?

Ernie!! I\'m shocked at you... We\'ve been friends for HOW long? And you treat me like THIS??




 


Dude, I\'m not trying to paint you out to be the bad guy or whatever, and I\'m not saying you\'re not entitled to your opinion.  Hell, I AGREE with you to an extent as far as Barker\'s backstage antics having a negative effect on the show his last few years.  But the fact of the matter is people aren\'t going to remember him for (IMO) dragging the show down for the majority of the 2000\'s due to his countless lawsuits and \"tyrant\"-like behavior backstage.  They\'re gonna remember him as the grandfatherly figure that gave away tons of cash and prizes to happy people for 35 years.  I know that may not seem right to you but that\'s life, and holding a grudge against the guy doesn\'t affect him or anyone else but yourself.  My friendly advice, in the words of the great poet Marshall Mathers...\"let it go, dawg, it\'s over\".


 


/his new album leaked yesterday, got Shady on the brain...sorry, y\'all

I was going to say, just because I don\'t know of one doesn\'t mean there isn\'t one.:)




 


Well, except you didn\'t say that.

Well, except you didn\'t say that either.  In any sized font.

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.

Yes. That changes nothing Matt said.


 


Keep digging, junior.

I\'ve never seen somebody melt down so badly because people didn\'t agree with him. Sad really.

I gave up a while ago. He\'s set in his belief that Barker is an egotistical a-hole. And by the many accounts presented over the years, he\'s not necessarily wrong. But his refusal to see the forest for the trees is the bigger problem. And to that I say whatever. There\'s far more things for me to worry about.

Like why the show has celebrated Plinko\'s birthday, is about to celebrate Bob\'s birthday, and has yet to announce its plans to celebrate Janice Pennington\'s 72nd birthday.


 


That\'s the bigger outrage to me.

Me: Of all of the game shows you've hosted besides Jeopardy!, like High Rollers or Classic Concentration, which is your favorite?
Alex Trebek: I'd have to say To Tell The Truth, because it was the first time in my career that I got to sit down while I was hosting.

You do realize, I fervently hope, that most people don\'t even know Janice *has* a last name.

Pretty sure we crossed the Poe\'s Law line around here years ago.
