That show was amazing. Carlin made a great replacement for Ringo, IMO.

Seems to me that Carlin's the LAST person you'd expect to be doing a kids show. Alas, it's right.

Carlin, having lived through the whole Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television thing, has developed a keen sense of when he can get away with something and when to keep it clean.

Case in point, his FOX sitcom from about 10 yrs. back. About as close you can get to the line without overstepping it. :-)

ObGameShow: FOX used to air Greed. :-P

The whole point of this topic is "Write your own". Try and come up with your own millionaire questions.

By the way, the answer to the sports question is C.

Here's another good millionaire question I have for you. This one seems to be in the upper-tier level but not exactly the Million dollar question.

What is the middle initial of Looney Tunes character Elmer Fudd?

A) P B) D C) J D) R

[quote name=\'cool245\']For $8,000: How many spaces were on the original Press Your Luck (Tomarken Version) game board?

A. 6 B. 18 C. 20 D. 24

For $500: How many years does it take before a Leap Year occur?

A. 1 B. 4 C. 11 D. 45[/quote]

Cool, with all due respect, we could post good $500 questions until the cows come home. Discussing the higher value questions is more interesting.

Without Googling, I'd be inclined to believe A, just because the prospect of him being Paul Paul McCartney seems so out in left field that it must be right. Otherwise, Paul would not be an option.

[Edit: And now that I have googled, I see that I am right, but not for the reason I stated. I didn't realize that Paul might not be his first name. Good question, although easily googled.]
