Title: Who Wants to Host a Game Show?
Post by: Matt Ottinger on October 06, 2008, 03:24:23 PM
Article about game shows from NYT (http://\"http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/06/business/media/06game.html?_r=1&oref=slogin\")
   
Interesting thing (to me, anyway) is that all game shows are being treated as equals in the story, and every bit as much attention is being given to Bingo America's Richard Karn as is to DOND's Howie Mandel.

And of course there's a quote from Fred.

Roggin wouldn't be able to give a quote unless it was given to him on cue cards.

And I was thinking of Fred Willard.

(Probably, it's because I watched Silver Streak (http://\"http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0075223/\"), in which Willard has a small role, this past Saturday.)

Name sounds familiar, wasn't that the guy who hosted the "Blankety Blanks" pilot?

I also remember a tribute album called Skynyrd Frynds. Somehow, I never imagined that Wynonna Judd was a frynd of Skynyrd.

You honestly didn't know? I could've sworn I'd revealed my identity ages ago.

I'm guessing I actually exercised some restraint and ignored that particular post.

But damn, does that explain a lot. TOO funny.

Huh. Maybe I didn't reveal my true identity. I know Zinkin knew (he dropped me an instant message about 30 seconds after my first post, telling me he knew who I was), and presumably the other mods knew from the get-go as well. Well, now, everyone knows.
