ISTR it was during a taping of Match Game. On TPIR Janice Pennington was knocked off the stage by camera 1.

Betty White turned her ankle while making an entrance on P+.

Holly drove the Price is Right train off the stage and into the audience

JM J Bullock rolled his chair out the back of the Hollywood Squares

Joyce Bulifant walked head-first into the Password Plus sign

Chuck Woolery's microphone got caught in the Wheel of Fortune on a final spin

Only one of these actually happened on air. The rest might have happened, but the game show gestapo keeps the facts under lock and key. Guarded by Jeff Addis. Who lost the key.

I saw the episode where Joyce hits her head. As many know from the French/France blooper, the PW+ sign is lowered down again after the intro. Joyce didn't realize it was there, and hit her head.

Shenanigans. Isn't there a wall back there?

It's in the book... how and why... and what Johnny was able to do.

During a lengthy wait for paramedics, the studio audience was kept calm, and some of the shock and awkwardness was diffused as Janice lay on the floor at the feet of the audience members after her fall. After Janice was carried her off, the mood returned to the familiar frenetic fun for the top of the show. A pretty amazing half-hour.

And, oh yes, Janice drove a car into the set, Holly tripped and fell carrying a one-bid item into contestants' row, and Dian blew a thing or two.

Not to mention those fridges and freezers!

/Bob's blown a few things himself, too.
//Oh, that Dian!!!

Whaaaa....?

So we're not talking about the incident in week 4 of season 17?

/I'm going to buy the book eventually!

I think his point is that unless there's a second story that we haven't heard of, Johnny had been dead for three years when this happened.

Yeah, what Steve said. I thought the flow was clear from the two previously-properly quoted posts.

The post did come off a bit fanboish, though...sorry for that.

Whoops... sorry. Very sorry. I was mistaken on one of the facts in my rush to get to the joke:

Match Game (forget the exact year) Gene gets scraped in the lips by an excited contestant's nails. ..... oh and Drew and the attack of the turntable.

jmangin · « **Reply #43 on:** October 18, 2009, 10:15:58 PM »

I seem to recall an episode of Match Game where a celebrity (CNR or McLean?) was engaging in a faux-fight with Gene and accidentally punched/slapped Gene when he wasn't expecting it. The celeb hosted the rest of the program while Gene sat on the panel after quipping something to the effect of "The son-of-a-b*tch really hit me..."

Am I imagining this or did this happen?

This indeed happened.
