WWTBAM on Limbaugh
« on: August 01, 2003, 11:24:21 PM »
Rush Limbaugh marked his 15th anniversary of national radio syndication today and he had a montage of times Rush was mentioned on the air besides the EIB Network.

   Anyway, near the end of the montage of Sports and Celebrities (which you can listen to on rushlimbaugh.com) was a question on Regis' WWTBAM?

   \"What radio show's fans are known as Ditto Heads...Rush Limbaugh.\"

    The other answers was edited out. Does anyone know when this aired on ABC, the amount of the question, and what were the other three answers?

Oops, it should have been \"Regis' WWTBAM\" and \"the other answers WERE edited out\".

A Google Groups search on ATGS for \"dittoheads\" and \"Limbaugh\" has the answer.

The show aired on August 10, 2000.  It was an $8,000 question.  The other answers are not listed in the recap, but I'm sure that Howard Stern must have been one of them.

Rush also used WWTBAM in other ways:
1.) He had a parody of it called \"Who Wants to be Informed?\".  As part of a monoloue, he would ask joke questions, usually negative toward the Clintons.  One such question I remember was, accompanied by a theme close to the one used for the first five questions, \"Which of the following has never been given a subpeona?  Bill Clinton - Hillary Clinton - Roger Clinton - Barbara Bush.
2.) They did a parody with Al Gore in the hot seat being given a foreign policy hypothetical.  Gore asks to use a lifeline, and he calls Bill Clinton.  Regis introduces him to Clinton on the phone and all you hear is Bill mumbling and a woman laughing in the background.  Gore keeps repeating the question, but Bill isn't paying attention - we just keep hearing giggles from the phone a friend.  Gore has to answer the question on his own.
3.) Rush explained tax increases this way (paraphrasing): Imagine you win big on WWTBAM.  You are happy because you just won a million bucks, right?  Wrong?  As you leave the stage, there are the Democrats standing there with their hands out and Hillary leading the pack snapping her fingers demanding half of your prize money.  Now, before you leave the studio, she tracks you down and says she wants more of what you just won.  Is this cool with you?
