Memories are sketchy on this...but I recall a contestant on WoF about 6 years ago who mentioned she had a role in the film "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes." She said she played "the woman who kept hitting her head" or something to that effect. Can't remember the name, and I'm not familiar with the movie in question...can anyone who is fill me in?

[quote name=\'hmtriplecrown\' date=\'May 5 2004, 12:43 PM\'] Leonard Stone, who played Violet Beauregarde's father in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, was on Wheel of Fortune in 2000. [/quote]
I didn't know that! He played Sam Beauregarde, car delaer. With Sam B., it's a guarantee.

I bet if he had lost to female contestants, he probably would've yelled to Pat & Vanna...

[quote name=\'clemon79\' date=\'May 5 2004, 09:05 AM\'] [quote name=\'sshuffield70\' date=\'May 5 2004, 07:54 AM\'] Remember when Regis had a husband/wife duo on "Millionaire"? I was thinking that the husband was a guitarist for a hard rock band. I can't pull out which band it was. [/quote]
I was just mentioning this on another thread here. It was Mike Patton from Faith No More. (Also from Mr. Bungle, but his 15 minutes ran when FNM was big with "Epic".) Wasn't the guitarist, was the lead singer. [/quote]
I mentioned this in the other thread as well. Chris is thinking of Mike Bordin. He was the drummer in Faith No More, while Mike Patton was the lead singer.

Mike Bordin got into the hot seat immediately after his wife, Marilee Bordin, left. Marilee was a rollover player from the previous show, and both Marilee and Mike lost on the $32,000 question.

No, I don't think so.

He'd say something along the lines of
"I had a great time anyway. Thanks, Pat and Vanna." Just a guess.

It's only a terrible pun!

I also could've said that Pat & Vanna would also sing the "Oompa Loompa" song as well!

You should probably be glad you didn't...oh, wait. You just did. Never mind.

I bet Sam Beauregarde didn't have HALF of the asinine gender issues that you do.

Walter Egan was also a contestant on the short lived Art James gamer "Catch Phrase". He was a champ for one day and did sing a little of his smash hit.

There's lots of things you coulda said.

Blanket statement : We wish you didn't.

Yes, I was well aware of this when I first posted.

Ike Turner, appeared on Extreme Gong, and one of my teachers told me she saw a Game Show one time where the contestant worked with Simon & Garfunkel, they were in a band together, and it was not going anywhere so he left the band and he mentioned that the members of the band were Simon & Garfunkel, anybody remember that? If so, what show was that, and who was the contestant?

For the record, it's not a terrible pun. It's a terrible joke. In fact, it's scarcely even that. Puns involve wordplay.

<With words appearing onscreen in a haphazard fashion>

"What do you get when you're gender obsessed?
Counting men and women doesn't make us impressed.

People will tell you to go get a life
Or else you'll never find a wife! (No one will marry you..)

Oom-pa, Loom-pa, Loompa-dee-dee
Treat men and women e-q-ua-ly
You will live in happiness too
Like the Oompa Loompa Doo-pa-dees do!"

Former American Bandstand regular Bunny Gibson appeared as a contestant on the 1st season of Whammy...she won the game and took home just over $5K in prizes, despite the asinine move of taking *3* extra spins after securing 1st place in round 1 (guess what happened on the 3rd spin?).

Also, Kaya Wittenburg of Temptation Island fame appeared as a regular contestant on the premiere of PAX's short-lived 03 entry, Dirty Rotten Cheater.
