Title: "Idol" Chatter
Post by: davemackey on March 17, 2004, 07:13:50 AM

Matt Rogers, one of the 12 finalists on this year's "American Idol", was a contestant with several other of his family members on "Family Feud" as hosted by Louie Anderson, and there were clips shown. ("Idol" is also produced by Fremantle Media, so I would assume there was no problem getting the clip.)

And we all remember Ryan Seacrest's game show past as the host of "Click" (that Merv Griffin-created Internet quizzer).

Ryan also appeared on Chuck W's DG as a bachelor looking for a date.

 That would have been during his run on Click, since Click ran 1997-99 as Woolery's DG did. Seacrest of course did FAM's Wild Animal Games three years before Click debuted.

Don't forget that Seacrest's first game show was "Radical Outdoor Challenge" for ESPN.  

Wasn't there some cheesy catchphrase he said on that show like "Ready, Set, SHWING!" or something like that?  Maybe I'm not remembering right.

 I thought it was Gladiators 2000. What was that... '96?
