Another "Game Show Special"...
« on: March 01, 2005, 07:47:28 PM »
While channel surfing earlier tonight, I came across an interesting game show special.

The show was called "Game Show Millionaires" and was airing on the TV Guide Channel.  Unfortunately I caught the last 15 minutes or so.  But the premise of the show was almost a "whatever happened to..." retrospective on modern day game show contestants who won big on recent game shows, from "Twenty-One" to "Millionaire" to "Jeopardy".

Among some of those who appeared on the special: Ken Jennings, David Legler & Kevin Olmstead.

Since it aired on the TV Guide channel, it should be on every so often -- no so much this week because of all the Joan Rivers Oscar show reruns, but check your local TV Guide Channel for repeat airings, as it might be worth taping.

That half-hour was produced by the original programming VP from GSN, Bob Boden, with Laura Chambers, former GSN morning show host and the queen of the contestant coordinators. Good stuff. It's been running for over a month.

Even if it was saddled with lackluster narration from "Idol" loser Kimberly Caldwell, who'd probably love to have a Kelly Clarkson voodoo doll.

That wouldn't do much good.  Kimberly is still a little flat.  (I mean her singing voice is flat, you perverts!)

I would think that said voodoo doll would be a Clay Aiken one, since Kimberly and Clay competed in the same season (the second).

For that matter, make it a Kimberley Locke doll, because with Ruben and Clay in the competition, third place was the best the Kims could ask for.

ObGS: Ryan Seacrest voodoo doll, anyone? :-D
