Johnny O/Rod Roddy Question
« on: April 12, 2004, 09:00:10 AM »
Hope somebody can confirm this.

I had heard a story years ago that when Johnny O. was announcing, Rod Roddy was in the audience for a show and wanted to get into announcing. Johnny apparently gave him some advice.

Can anyone verify this?
Enjoy lots and lots of backstage TPIR photos and other fun stuff here. And yes, I did park in Syd Vinnedge's parking spot at CBS

While I am not sure if Rod ever worked with Johnny, there is another game show announcer that did work with Johnny, and was inspired when seeing him during a taping of Snap Judgment.

It was indeed true; Rod himself confirmed it on-air during a Johnny O. tribute they did during TPiR's 20th Anniv. Week in 1991.
