"Just call me Turd. Turd Ferguson."

OMG! Martin you owe me a new keyboard!

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

LOL! Those SNL parodies of "Jeopardy!" were hilarious!

I think the show has become a bit long in the tooth. I like VH1's "Rock-N-Roll" Jeopardy.

Why? If he feels that way, he should give the money back.

[Cagey]

Hahahahahaha!

Who is Scooby Doo?

[Richard Kimball]

Classic. Thanks for the post.

"You, Sir, are a moron..."

Another memorable game show contestant: Michael Larson, who pretty much broke the bank at Press Your Luck. Later it was found out he had taped the show, slowed it down, then memorized the computerized "patterns" of the board. They let him keep the money.

for awhile there were plans to make a movie about this
starring Bill Murray as Larson. Ultimately it wound up
being a Game Show Network special.

He should have criticized the show for spreading the idea that rewards in life come merely from knowing facts rather than from being able to use them.

Jennings also takes aim at the show's "effete, left-coast" categories and "same-old" format. ----

LOL.......How about a category like : You know when you're from West Virginia when ..........

[oh8eleven]

Does every freaking category have to be some effete left-coast crap
nobody’s heard of, like “Opera,” or, um, “U.S. History” or whatever?


That's right, what about civil servants, stamps from around the world,
mothers and sons, beer, bar trivia, and celibacy?

[Cagey]

What is Tungsten or Wolfram?
