Pyramid Super Six question
JTFriends1:
Actually, I got called totally out of the blue about 2 weeks ago. They called me on a Monday night to tell me they'd be taping shows Tuesday and wanted to know my availability for the day. I told them, and they called me to put me on the air during one of the tapings on Tuesday. The teams select their categories (aside from the last 2) before taping begins, as they were able to tell me Donny would go to me for the 3rd category in Round 3. They kept me on hold all through Round 3, and sure enough, Donny and I had a little conversation after the third category was selected. The prize was a Sony VAIO Laptop which was not won, so I'll receive a lovely parting gift - the Pyramid home game - after the show airs. No idea when yet though.

Why on earth do they need to do that?

Haven't you heard? Spontaneity on a game show is no fun.

They select the categories beforehand because they show the celebrities the answers beforehand and want them to think of good clues since there are only 20 seconds on the clock.

Which now explains the "celebrities are shown material prior to telecast" disclaimer.
One would hope that the veterans turned down that assistance (on the other hand, if the celeb is considering that his/her main job on the show is helping his/her partner win...)
