GSN LIVE 6/1/09

Todd Newton played a game called "And The Winner Is..." with a nice lady and her weenie dog. Game was simple; he read as many names as he could in 30 seconds, and the player would say YES if s/he has won an Emmy and No if s/he has not. 5 correct answers wins a Blu-Ray player.

Now, Todd spent the last 4 seconds of the time telling her if she gets the next one right, she'll win her prize, only to tell her that her time was up when the buzzer sounded. Now, 4 seconds probably would have been enough time to read one more name and give her the prize.

He gave her the question after the time was up, and turns out she would have gotten it right and won it all.

Todd, IMO, sorta dropped the ball and cost a contestant a prize.

EDIT: Problem solved at 2:30. Todd admitted he could have moved things faster, and they gave her the prize anyway.
