The Name's the Same
« on: August 14, 2003, 10:39:00 AM »
My wife and I were attending a newborn care class (yes, we have one on the way--should be here any day now) the other day, and as I signed in I noticed that the woman who had signed in before I did was named Lisa Donovan.

That brings us to our question:  Who here knows, or has met, someone who has the same name as a game show personality?

 When you say \"personality\" I'm assuming you mean host, or maybe a celebrity on the show? Because I'm gonna go the second route..:)

Not so much known for being on game shows now, but I was friends with a David Letterman who helped me with some computer issues once..

Sure. . .make the category as broad as you like.  Let's call it \"People Associated With Game Shows.\"  Give only a list, no prepositional phrases, etc.  We'll enforce the rules about as strictly as they do on Donny's Pyramid, or at least as strictly as they did during the early part of the season.

I never met him face-to-face, but when I worked at Hell's Kitchen (aka Wendy's) last summer, I stumbled upon a list of other burger flippers and their phone numbers just in case we couldn't make our shift. One of the names was Bill Cullen. Thought that was pretty cool.

Adam, that was the real Bill Cullen. Bill was so cool that he would have come in to work at Wendy's if asked.  Like Michael Davies, your shift supervisor was unaware Bill had passed away.
Let's Make a Deal was the first show to air on Buzzr. 6/1/15 8PM.

A neighbor of mine is named Bill Anderson.  But I'm sure there are plenty of Bill Andersons out there.
