Title: What's the easiest GS job overall?
Post by: Winkfan on October 09, 2004, 04:15:53 PM
If you ask me, the easiest overall job on any game show would have to be that of model/assistant/elbow grabber. I'm not talking about 'hostess' like Vicki, Meredith, Anne, etc. I mean those gals (and in SotC's case, Greg and David) who display the prizes, deal the cards, turn the letters, and bring the contestants onstage.

Cordially,
Tammy Warner--the 'Della Reese of the Big Board!'

P.S. This is my 300th post.

That's easy: being Bill Todman. Live in Florida and collect checks.

After that, certain people used to receive credit and a paycheck for being a "creative consultant" when they hadn't set foot on the set or in the office for years.

Former staffers Marc Breslow and Ted Cooper prolly fell into that category...they recieved credit as CCs sometime in the 90s on TPiR.

Ted actually served a useful function and earned his money. Breslow, OTO, had been "deposed" as director.

I had heard they were given 10 year deals as consultants starting in 1986 after Paul Alter took over as director. I don't recall their names being in the credits past 1996, so the 10 year figure seems legit.

Didn't Breslow still work for the company for a few more years after TPIR actually directing shows?

EUbanks CS, Combs Feud, and MG90 were directed by Breslow.

Only Breslow. Ted died in December 1999.

He also did one show outside the Goodson stable: the short-lived 1993 entry Family Secrets.

And before G-T moved west, Breslow directed "The Movie Game."
