I saw a video on Youtube about "what we have learned from Star Wars" and that inspired me to start this thread. Feel free to add on.
1- Spaying or neutering your pet will help control the pet population
2- Be weary of anyone named Dian
3- If you come on down, and they come on out, people will be talking about you for several years to come.
4- Samoans like to pick up game show hosts
5- If a woman 10 times your size comes screaming at you, it's best to run for you life.
6- If you do audience participation shows better than anything else, it'll last you a good 50 years.
7- The Range Game cannot be started again for 37 hours
8- If you tell Bob he's handsome, he'll give you all the air time you want
9- Bidding $420 probably will not win you any prizes, it'll only make millions of people roll their eyes in disgust.
10- When you retire, it might not be a bad idea to take up bodybuilding and run for governor of California.
11- Don't ask Roger if it's the "first time it's ever happened". He'll only agree with you to save from embarassment.
-
Heck, I'll play.
12- Zeros are last. (When dealing with scrambled numbers, that is.)
13- Ones are also last, or should be. (In Contestant's Row, that is.)
14- When your time on stage is limited, take others' advice sparingly, if at all.
15- Turn around and give us your bid already.
Yeah, I tried to make all of mine sound close to "real" advice.

Personally, a woman 10x my size would implode.6- If you do audience participation shows better than anything else, it'll last you a good 50 years.
...especially if you adopt Jack Benny's speech pattern.7- The Range Game cannot be started again for 37 hours.
(This actually happened when I was in the audience in '91; the stoppage didn't seem like 37 hours, but I may have dozed off...)

16- Bloopers make great (http://\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pm6Ca0SnEsw\") YouTube (http://\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WakwBtqAZq4\") clips (http://\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1Tyv-_3ZqY\").
17- Learn every game before you go on the show, because you'll probably get one you (http://\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6gT7JSLxis\") don't (http://\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCEDhCF7BLs\") know (http://\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4Rh1jnMCLc\").
18- Bob Barker likes surprises. (http://\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFdnSRaZbS8\")
19- Showcases may not be that (http://\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2g2e6Bf6mw\") expensive (http://\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMCFRElyaCc\").

20. ROOLZ is an accepted spelling for the word "rules".

* Time is elastic. Even ordinary people can make ten seconds last practically forever.

Incompetence can be masked through generosity.

I missed that episode - how'd he foobar that one?

Even though you've seen Check Game all your life, you still don't know how to play it.
And something I learned today on Price:
Even though you slept with half the audience, you're still not guaranteed a win.

Screamin' Jay Hawkins came back from the dead and was a contestant today?
(Or Wilt Chamberlain* or Shawn Kemp or Bob Barker or...you get the point.)
* Just like Francisco Franco--still dead.

Um, I GIS'd for a picture of Bob Barker and a celebrating contestant.
Sometimes verite goes out the window in the name of comedy.
