Ah, the All-Night Party.

I'd be in favor of the third party, but I passed out after the first two.

Ba-da-BING!

[quote name=\'SRIV94\' date=\'May 15 2005, 06:57 PM\']For some reason, I have a vague recollection of Woolery using SCRABBLE93 as a platform for right-leaning issues (these would come out after clues had been solved).  Of course, that was 12 years and 13 brain cells ago (didn't have that many to lose to begin with ;-) ), so my recollection could be hazy.

I hadn't heard of Chuck's leanings until the "Scrabble '93" clue in which the answer to "Some say he's responsible to bad Rush hours" was "Limbaugh".  He blamed the clue on the communist pinko writing staff.  Limbaugh featured the clip on his TV show for the following two days after it aired.

Being a right winger since the early 80s (at the ripe old age of 10[??]), I've come to respect Chuck a lot for it.  Same goes for Sajak and Martindale.

If any more proof is called for, Gene played for Planned Parenthood on Card Sharks' Game Show Emcees Tournament.

Regarding Richard Dawson, he made fun of Clinton during the FF94 revival as well.  I don't think his jabs were directed at any particular ideology, just political figures in general.

Also, I can't believe no one thus far has mentioned Ben Stein...

Without seeing the clip in context, if Chuck really did use the words "Communist pinko writing staff" and they left it in, it sounds like a joke and not necessarily any deep insight into Chuck's political leanings.

Rafferty took a jab at Reagan and his 19 cabinet members on the 2/16/87 episode of Blockbusters when a question came up with the correct answer "Cabinet", saying that none of the cabinet members know what they're doing.

I remember the remark.  He called the writers the "pinko Commie lefto staff over here".   He also admitted liking Rush's show (didn't specify radio or TV; both assumed).

One more for you.  Kevin O'Connell.  He may have been "K O  for G O" -- but he's not for the GOP.  

I think we all know Kevin's in Buffalo at WGRZ anchoring the weather.  The Buffalo News reported Kevin engaged in some happy talk with a news anchor that was anything but happy.  After President Bush won re-election, Kevin said the wrong candidate won.

The newspaper also reported Kevin's the son of George O'Connell, a prominent Democrat who served as Buffalo's city controller.

Can we infer from this, Randy, that you do not subscribe to the same political viewpoint as Mr. Eubanks?

Joe Pyne of NBC's "Showdown" also had a talk show in the '60s.  Whether it was just to provoke, he came off as somewhat right-wing on that talk show.


"Lingo" host Michael Reagan is...., oh never mind.

"Somewhat right-wing" is putting it mildly.  See here.

Great discussion: Puts me in mind of this song my brother had on a 45 record years ago..Johnny Cash and I think a few others sang it.

I also heard that on a Card Sharks episode that Bob was for gun-control but also on another CS show, there was a female contestant who said that she lived with her boyfriend, & I could tell the look on Bob's face that he didn't like that at all.

This seems really strange to me, considering the really risque humor that Bob seemed to encourage, even thrive on, during the various incarnations of his
"Newlywed Game".

Oh, I think this is SO not about me. But allow me to say how pleased I am with the style of your post. It's apparent from your proper grammatical use of "infer" that you know the difference between "imply" and "infer". I find that very refreshing  ;-)
