In some ways, having people like Lynde, Bullock, Romero and others on the classic traditional shows made a better case for everyone getting along together because everyone was playing on the same page and were out to entertain rather than promote causes. Those who knew about their lifestyles could smile and enjoy them, while others who did not didn't lose any enjoyment. I've rarely been a fan of "in your face", and what could be worse, if the antics of the panel come off as stereotypical, it could do more harm than good.

I nominate this as reply of the year-- without making any sense whatsoever.

This and at least thirty other replies as such that he's made along the way all tie for the honor. Anything to jack up the ol' post count, wot?
Back to topic, will this persuasion decision include their choice for host, I wonder.

If that is a stipulation, perhaps Steve Kmetko would be a good choice for host.
Let's Make a Deal was the first show to air on Buzzr. 6/1/15 8PM.

If they go that way I think Jerry Penacoli of "Extra" is the guy.

But all told, if they just keep the panel gay and let everything else be normal, it might help the show's cause. The concept is four stars trying to guess secrets of everyday people -- and those four stars have chosen to let the big cat out of the closet. Who better to ferret out secrets than four people who are loath to keep them themselves?

Will our flamboyant host or whoever they get be introducing the distinguished panel as The Gay Questioners? Will there be special sweeps theme weeks featuring, say, The Village People as the cross-dressing cross-examiners? And what's to stop a straight celeb in need of work from bluffing their way onto the stage? Maybe that could be his or her secret: "I'm really not gay". By the way, has Richard Chamberlain ever appeared on a game show?

IMPORTANT NOTE: I'm not slamming the lifestyle--just the "gay panel for the sake of having a gay panel" idea.

He and Raymond Massey were the mystery guests on the 7/29/62 Daly WML episode.

Was that the one with the all-gay panel? If so, how'd it do in the Trendex?

If WML? were to be done today, wouldn't they have to reveal the identity of the mystery guest in the promos to spike the ratings?

That and make a set capable of flashing millions of colors in addition to upping the money and tripling points and so on and so on and so on...all the more reason for me to try to host it at my college.

They were doing that in the last network year at least once--I recall the MG appearing on camera as Johnny O whispered that he was going to be one of two Mystery Guests that week (don't remember who it was).  Cut to opening animation.

Sorry for dredging up this topic again, but I did find out that one of the panelists on the new IGAS is going to be standup comedienne Suzanne Westenhofer. She was one of the first openly lesbian standups. Suzanne is doing a show next weekend at the Paramount Theatre in Asbury Park, NJ.
