Actor Marlon’s “O?”

Things Richard Pryor likes

New today, the stream on Buzzr's website has The Great Christmas Light Fight airing in its scheduled spots, but the stream on alternate providers, like Pluto TV and Freevee, showed Supermarket Sweep from 12 - 1:30, and now Press Your Luck at 1:30. I would surmise that different streaming rights would be the reason, but then I don't know why they would be allowed to show it on their own site.

The OTA feed has been Great Christmas Light Fight today as well. A few weeks ago, Buzzr's website switched to a stream of the OTA feed complete with Shriner's Hospital commercials and such. Not sure if that was intentional or not.

Actor Marlon’s “O?”

Reospectfully, Eric, I have no idea who that is, why he got a reprieve or how it ended.

Also I sort of read past that because of course if you don’t summit the pyramid you go back in the fray.

I had a realization while reading this thread.  It's not only during the great moments that determine the best hosts, it's also during the uncomfortable and awkward moments.  Dick had to thread the needle very carefully in that statement that was A) taking away a contestant's money after the contestant thought they earned it, B) the argument between the judges and standards and practices, and C) the possible gray area got opened up during the argument. I read that explanation in Dick Clark's voice, and I heard the sincerity in every word.

This moment heightened my standing for Dick Clark, and it was already very high.  The last time I heighten a status for Dick Clark was watching a Blind Contestants week on 80's Pyramid. They were in the Winner's Circle going for $25,000. At one point before the top box was revealed, the guide dog got on all four legs and started moving. The dog looked spooked in the setting. While the celebrity and contestant was trying to get that final box for $25,000, you could see Dick's hand coming out of frame slowing petting the dog to calm it down but not interfering with the game going on.  A few seconds later, the $25,000 was won.  I'm not sure if Dick's quick action helped the celebrity and contestant in the moment, but he sure as heck prevented a moment becoming more awkward and possibly affecting the game.

Dick Clark is the best host PERIOD. Not game show host, but host period. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
