[quote name=\'hmtriplecrown\' date=\'Mar 24 2004, 06:26 PM\'] No, I insist.  Did Access Hollywood send their congrats?  I ask because I want to say Access Hollywood until blood starts spewing from your ears.

Isn't Pat O'Brien on that show?

You know....Pat...O'Brien?

Man, what a talent. I certainly have been missing Pat O'Brien's fine work during the NCAA's.

That's Pat O'Brien, folks. For all of your entertainment needs.

 Pat O'Brien was on the Today Show when the Oscar nominations were announced.  And I forget why, but Katie Couric at one point sings the familiar theme music of Entertainment Tonight, rival to the NBC backed Access Hollywood. They cut back to a clearly miffed O'Brien, who eventually told Katie that he didn't know the theme to Good Morning America.

 As opposed, of course, to the Pulitzer-worthy, hard-news, Edward-R-Murrow informed bastion of broadcast journalism that is Entertainment Tonight.

No wonder why I've stayed far and far and far and far and far and far and far and far and far away from that show!!

And yet you know who their "New York guy" is, and even know to call him that!

 Matt, that describes pretty much every entertainment news show today!  OK, maybe Johnny the A did exaggerate a little: it's more like 69.8% tabloid and 0.2% news.  You can't forget your 30% commercials!

By the way...O'Brien did a "Krypton Factor" pilot in 2000 for Fox, but it never got picked up. And in 1990, he went into "Overtime" with Pat attempting to be CBS Sports' version of Johnny Carson (or Arsenio Hall); it was a major flop.

And we already know about Billy Bush's horrible stint as Let's Make A Deal host last year; I never even cared about "Battle of the NBC Stars" and Tony Potts (who did a brief stint at ET before heading to AH) hosting.

But besides WOF, other game shows Goen did prior to ET were Blackout, Born Lucky, The Hollywood Game, Perfect Match, and the Home Shopping Game; all except for Wheel were very forgettable.

Robair, will you PLEASE SHUT UP!!!

Goen's wedding was big news for ET, knowing things were a bit slow for them over the weekend. And don't EVER get me started on whether or not that other show ("Access Hollywood", for those who care) sent their congratulations to Goen and Curan.

Besides, thanks to Conan O'Brien and SNL poking so much fun at the show as of late with its idiotic wordplay, obscene graphics, the scrolling ticker similar to the cable news channels', and of course the presences of Pat O'Brien and Billy Bush (their New York guy), Access Hollywood is 99.8% tabloid show and .2% news! No wonder why I've stayed far and far and far and far and far and far and far and far and far away from that show!! (Had to paraphrase Chris Benoit's "I'm gonna make you tap and tap and tap..." quote there)

Johnny, will you PLEASE DECREASE YOUR FONT SIZE.  If something this minute steams you; I'd hate to see what an actual tragedy would bring upon you.

 Sez you. I thought Goen on Blackout was far better then Goen on Wheel.

All I want to know is if Bob and Marianne had a great bonus round in their hotel room on their wedding night.

Hey, what if Pat Benetar married the only US WWtBaM contestant ever to start a show w/the $1M question? Then her name would be... :-D

As for the Goen-Curan union, that might be a celeb couple you could actually convince to do a revival of Tattletales, if it ever happened.

 Johnny the A, you'll be glad to know your favorite personality has a cameo in the just-released Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed. :-)  And they gave Access Hollywood a mention in the credits.

ObGameShows: Two cast members have gs connections: Linda Cardellini (TPiR, FF) and Dee Baker (he'll always be Olmec to us).

ObAsterisk: Three, if you count American Idol--Ruben Studdard has a cameo at the end.

My favorite personality?!?! Yeah, right. I'd rather settle for Bob Costas and Al Michaels in BASEketball (or since this is a game show forum, Bob Barker in Happy Gilmore).

By the way, Scooby-Doo 2 opened at #1 with $30 million, but the smarter Sarah Michelle Gellar fans like myself saved our $8.00 and watched her as guest voice on The Simpsons for free. And my real favorite TV personalities are Jay Leno, Conan O'Brien, Bob Barker, and the Entertainment Tonight gang.

 Pat O'Brien probably removed the detector's batteries and put them in his TV's remote so he could watch his show, Access Hollywood.
