You don't even have to go to that much trouble. "With your host, Clark Dick!"

Well, Clark tells a story in one of his books about when he was doing a prime-time variety show on ABC in the late 50s on Saturday nights. When they did a remote from Florida, the producer talked the Beech-Nut Gum people, the show's sponsor ("Dressed in green and made for a teen, Beech-Nut Spearmint Gum--it's FLAVOR-IFIC!"), to pay up to have two ad airplanes carry banners with Dick's name on them for the opening--one saying "DICK" and the other behind it saying "CLARK." Unfortunately, the planes flew in the wrong order when the live telecast started and what the viewers saw was--"CLARK DICK." The crew in the remote truck had a big laugh over that one.
The Ol' Guy:
If you're still working on the idea - here are six evil categories you would hate to have to guess or give clues to - starting from bottom left box-
1) Odd numbers between 1 and 307
2) Things not found in a bucket
3) Hit Tim Conway TV Shows -or- names of Seinfeld episodes
4) Words that can be spelled two ways (hire, higher)
5) Names of Miss America Runner-Ups
and the biggie at the top:
6) Middle Initials
and for the crude laugh, you could always go with - Things A Person with Tourette's Syndrome might say.

I just had to bring up this Randy West gem from ATGS:
[quote name=\'tvrandywest\' date=\'Dec 7 2000\']The great Bruce Burmester told me the funniest story about the years on
Pyramid when Dick Clark was host, and Jack Clark announced. Because both
gentlemen share the name Clark, the crew referred to them by first name
only. When it was time to cue the announcer to wrap the warm-up so they
could roll tape, the word from the booth was. "Get Dick out and Jack off"!

And Ol' Guy, don't forget the ultimate evil category:
WORDS THAT RHYME WITH "ORANGE"!

Door hinge?
