Rich Fields leaves TV

[napanickg]

if it was a yakov smirnof joke it'd be "in soviet russia, tv leaves YOU"

Rich is 62, eligible for Social Security retirement benefits (but not Medicare) so he could "retire".

Or do "motivational speaking".

Or start a production company with Mikey Richards.

I suggested to Rich that he should donate some of his Price memrobillia including Johnny and Rod's old podium to The Game Show Archives at the Strong National Museum of Play and he got all pissy with me.  He stopped using my comments and questions on the podcast and he deleted most of my guest suggestions.  In faxt, when Bob Goen was on, I asked if it was true that he auditioned for Wheel before Rolf Benirschke got the job. Rich made reference to the comment on the podcast but he did not acknowledge that I asked that wuestion.

Maybe that’s a hint of some sort, Jamey.

[ChrisLambert!]

the thing about his on-air comment is that he waited so long for his opportunity to say it. Plenty of time to think “wait, this will sound bad” or even “eh, the moment has passed”. But he still went right ahead and said it.

Maybe that’s a hint of some sort, Jamey.

Yes it was a hint that he was upset with me and I should have never gave him that suggestion to begin with.  I did not even bother sending any more questions after that.
