The Pennsylvania Game
zachhoran:
I think the Pennsylvania Game did use at least one C-list celeb: Actress Nancy Kulp. I think I recall seeing Bill's daughter Lynn Cullen on an episode years back.

You may have seen Pittsburgh radio personality Lynn Cullen on an episode, but you certainly did not see Bill's daughter Lynn Cullen (unless Lynn's father just coincidentally happens to be named Bill). Game show host Bill Cullen had no children.

Actually, Lynn hosted the show for a few years when the revival first came on. (The current show is actually its second incarnation.) She used to be on WTAE, so I actually knew about her before I knew about Bill. I had no idea the two were related, though.
EDIT: Oh, so she isn't his daughter. Well, that certainly explains why I'd never heard about it before.

I move as fast as I can, but this is exactly how misinformation gets going.

Thank goodness! As pleasing of personality and soothing of voice as Bill was, Lynn is not. (This has nothing to do with her politics, by the way, even though most--though not all--of the time I disagree with her.) She's now on another radio station here during the morning. I recall her days as a PG panelist, though, and found her much easier to take (even somewhat likeable, in fact) in smaller doses there. At the time, Lynn Hinds (a man) was the host.
