Biggest game show stories of 2016?

[johnnya2k3]

What were some of the biggest game show moments of 2016 as we're nearing its final weeks? Here are a few that come to mind:

The three-way, $1 Showcase Showdown tie on TPIR (the first time in history all of them spun a total of $1, not the exact amount)
Craig Ferguson's repeat Emmy for "Celebrity Name Game"...though it was not enough for the show to be renewed
The primetime reboots of "To Tell The Truth", "$100,000 Pyramid", and "Match Game" all on ABC with Anthony Anderson, Michael Strahan, and Alec Baldwin respectively
The passings of Joe Garagiola, (Sir) Terry Wogan, Fred Wostbrock, and Charlie Tuna
The end of "American Idol", while "The Voice" still has yet to produce a megastar

And somewhat game show-related, but the biggie...
Donald Trump, who once attached his name to a short-lived 1990 game show, elected 45th President of the United States!!!

I'd go a bit further than just appearing in prime time. The fact that Pyramid, Match Game and To Tell the Truth all did well enough to get another season would have been big news even if they were on daytime.

Seconded

One more addition, and a sad one:

Jeopardy! contestant Cindy Stowell's amazing run; only Alex and the staff knew she had months to live, but the contestants were unaware of it.

But one thing was for certain: Just like Jerry Frankel, she fought till the end (Frankel died from AIDS two years after winning the inaugural Tournament of Champions).

I know that you absolutely cannot wait to show the class how much you know, or in this case, how much you THINK you know.  Considering that she taped her episodes in August and September, and she passed away in December, she did not have "days to live". More like a few months after. Do your research before you make these comments.

I'm just glad he decided to explain who Jerry Frankel was.

Hey, be nice to him. You're going to make him leave the board for good. Again.

Wrong Johnny.

Thanks. He's still in my Basket-O-Deplorables.

/Spellcheck tried to correct that to "Explodables".

//That would also have worked in the sentence.

I'm sure he will, so he can show you how much he knows.
