In the one episode that I have taped, he did.[/quote]
In the old cardboard days of J!, Art's saying, "The answer is..." was basically a cue for the stagehands to lift the dollar-value [or other] card to reveal the answer.
Legend has it that on one of those episodes, after Art would say, "The answer is..", a blank card was revealed instead, prompting Art to make a crack about the stagehands having "a keg of beer and a good time."
