What's My Line? Live Show Returns
« Reply #30 on: March 05, 2005, 04:44:46 AM »
I guess I'll explain the sign-in board doo-hickey thingy...

remember those pull-cards that they used on classic Jeopardy with Art Fleming?

*nods*

*nods again cool-like*

Well, the contestants/mystery guests would sign in with a big black marker on a huge sheet of white paper; and every time they "clear the board," the card would be pulled away! *GASP!* It's like old-school television magic! Who would've knew?

By the by, I can't wait to see another show this month! Yay!

Too bad they didn't think of doing it that way 55 years ago. I'm placing a call to Sam Cecere as we speak.

Who's to say the original statement isn't also true?

As self-appointed judge, mods are in their own separate category, and cannot compete with civilian posters for Line of the Designated Time Frame. The same rule applies to Don Howard, Chris Lemon, and to a lesser extent, me. ;-)

This is why I wish I was living in California. This show sounds like a lot of fun. I hope it is still going strong when we eventually visit L.A. again.

And I noticed that on this week's panel you have Music Geek and the Emmy-winning writer of "WBSM" and co-host of "Lover's Lounge," along with the voice of Tommy Pickles and Wesley Crusher, who seems to be your Bennett Cerf.  If only I was in California...

that is a very succint summary of this week's panel of Andy Zax, Teresa Strasser, EG Daily, and Wil Wheaton (who will be flattered at the Bennett comparison).

thanks!

My guess is he'd prefer the Bennett Cerf reference to the Wesley Crusher one.  No matter, I'm a fan of both.

Though, Keith, would it kill you to track down a NextGen Mystery Guest?  Michael Dorn's phone can't be THAT busy!

BTW, another of Wil Wheaton's sidelines is writing reviews of ancient videogames.  We're talking Atari 2600 cartridges here.  His work appears in the published version of The Onion (and possibly elsewhere) and is a wonderfully retro kick. (Much like the WML? show, I dare say!)
