Title: Meredith Vieira's Birthday
Post by: TravisP on December 30, 2003, 06:17:16 PM
Happy Birthday to "The View" and current "Daytime Millionaire" (The first and only person to appear on both sides of the game as a contestant & host) host Mereidth Vieira who is 50 Today. I wonder whether she will be celebrating that landmark or just keeping it quiet?

 There was no mention on Millionaire today as it was a rerun. I suppose the chicks on the View would have done a little whoop-de-doo if the View isn't in reruns this week.

Correct me if I'm wrong about this, but today also would have been pioneer GS host Bert Parks' birthday.

Happy birthday, Sister Meredith! And you too, Bert--wherever you are.....

Cordially,
Tammy Warner--the 'Gail Sheldon of the Big Board!'

 Actually, today's show was mostly a compilation of previous interviews.  I don't know if the opening host-chat was new, but it was definitely pre-recorded because of the holiday week.

Drifting off-topic (not so much if you consider Survivor a game show): The [SB]babbling babes[/SB] came up with this idea for giving the show a ratings boost: Elisabeth Hasselbeck (new girl and Survivor 2 alumnus) gets pregnant in February and announces it on the show during the sweeps so the baby would arrive during November sweeps.  Meredith said, "Kelly Ripa does this every year."

One thing you have to admit though, Meredith does look damn hot for 50.  Makes me wish she was single and I was 20 years older.

Gadzooks! :D

 I guess Zach's no longer found under the influence of Teri Hatcher. ;-)

She's 50?! I thought she was much younger than that (no older than 38-40). She's very attractive for someone who looks 50.


Wow. My eyes Decieve-th me.

Hot as Meredith is, I'm still an Amy Jo Johnson fan myself.

ObGameShow: According to the University of Virginia's Oracle of Bacon, Amy Jo Johnson has a Randy West number of 3.

And I prefer Barbara Walters over Meredith. Meredith looks good, Barbara looks better.

In fact, I think Barbara should've been the one hosting the Syndie Millionaire, instead of Meredith.

If Barbara were chosen to host Millionaire, would you watch it, and how high would the ratings go?

 This is bordering on obsession. Of course, Barbara has the advantage of several dozen facelifts.

Can't say I agree with you.

I suspect they would not be appreciably different than they are now, and might dive, because Barbara is not a game show host, and Meredith is becoming quite adept at her job.

Well, I said IF Barbara Walters WERE to host the show.

She hasn't hosted a game show YET. I think they should give her a chance.

 Yeah, that doesn't surprise me too much.
