The funny thing is, I *almost* added to the end of that post that I really didn't care to know, but decided not to because I figured he was smart enough to take a hint.

I should have known who I was dealing with.

I also can't get this image out of my head of a child who is constantly putting his hand up in class because he knows the answer, much to the chagrin of all the other students who can't stand him...

Very early (read: 1985) on the $100,000 Pyramid, Dick Clark said that the prize for the Mystery 7 was a 1958 Chevy Chevette.

There was an old lady on Match Game (seen on MOGSM) once that said she was retarded instead of retired. I thought that was a really funny slip.

How'd she do? Maybe it wasn't a slip.

One of the more recent ones was on what I belive was the second series of Super Millionaire when a carryover contestant was just getting ready to go for his first question, question 7 ($20,000). Regis, caught up in the gusto of the introduction/rules explanation/next DIE-mension mentioning, said "For 20 Million Dollars!"

One that was mildly amusing. How about Alex Trebek mispronouncing "Milady" as "malady" in a clue? I think this was on Ken's 31st game, but I'm not sure....DOWN, HORAN!

There's one that I've only heard very unsubstantiated rumors about, so I won't go into that.

Maybe intentional rather than a slip-up: Gene Rayburn asking for some "milk" from Patti Deutsch on MG'73.

He did the same thing a year later on the daytime show, this time telling the contestant the prize was a 1968 Chevrolet Chevette.

How's about Peter Tomarken on Paranoia in 2000 thinking he was on GSN rather than FOX Family.

Peter MArshall said "can't put a circle there......" when a contestant didn't agree/disagree correctly when a clue to the puzzle was on the line on All-Star Blitz.

Jack Narz made a few references to Concentration on NYSI7x.

Speaking of Tomarken, I think it was on a Labor Day "PYL" that he was joking around that he didn't want to be there because it was a holiday. He said something like "...get somebody else, anybody could do this job". Rod Roddy then interjected, "...yes, I'm afraid that's true..." The look on Tomarken's face was priceless!

Shades of his 1988 Wipeout gaffe, where he told a player who chose a wrong answer that he'd hit a Whammy.

I also remember an episode where a player was plunking along in Round One, and Tomarken gave them the option to "Press Your Luck or pass." Some laughter erupted in the studio, he stepped away from his podium for a second, and when he returned he said "I knew I was gonna do that eventually..."

That's not nice. His kids might've been a little on the dumb side, but I wouldn't say they were high by any means. ;-)

There was a playing of Card Game on Price in early 2002 where Bob made an unfortunate choice of phrase in trying to build up suspense for the price reveal:

"I'm gonna whip it out right now and show it to you. Are you interested?"
