Funny, but I was expecting to see you on one of those shows. :-p
I can imagine it now -- Randy's voice booming to an arrested man, "Congratulations! You've just won a six-year, all-expenses paid trip to Leavenworth Penitentiary! And to the winner goes a supply of Turtle Wax, for that hard shell finish!" :-)

(is tempted to ask about that creepy cordless phone)

I just tried dialing and the Record-A-Call still picks up (the one Walter Kresel got for him).
(Somewhere there's a G-T alumnus lurking who gets the Walter Kresel reference.)

--- Quote ---I think one of the reasons why game shows were popular back then was that we saw people from all walks of life trying to win big money. We got to know most, if not all the players from shows like "64,000 Question", "Twenty One" (The Jack Barry version), "What's My Line?", "To Tell The Truth", and even "You Bet Your Life".

Those were some mighty huge stakes on What's My Line?.
