New Buzzr lineup effective 9/30
MSTieScott:
After weeks upon weeks of it being burned out, they finally replaced the bulb in the lower right corner of the tens digit of the O player's score.
Now the bulb in the upper right corner is out.
Matt Ottinger:
Sorry, gang, I needed a bit to recover.
Tell you what, for all the silliness about my over-eagerness to see this, I was afraid it would be a bit of a letdown. Happy to say, I was thrilled. What a kick to see Bill's name on that giant wall, and to see him, sharp as ever, cracking Phyllis Diller up with his jokes! ("I was close to pasties...for the first time in thirty years.") And the rest of the line-up! Jay Leno, Brian Mitchell, Lyle Waggoner (Who seemed totally at ease. Why didn't he do more games?), and of course Diller. Richard Kline always struck me as someone who tried a little too hard, but I liked him here. I think I'm really going to enjoy the rest of these too.
Thanks to the good Samaritan who's uploading them to YouTube. These need to be preserved in the Archive that Adam and I maintain.

I don't know if she got lost, so much as a cue was given. Industry-type people, here's a quick question: is there someone from the staff giving the stars their cue to walk on in situations like these, or were they on their own? My completely amateur read of the situation, based on when she started walking out, was that whoever gave cues forgot to not give one for the first introduction and sent Phyllis out to die a death.

That's how I saw it, too. A mistake by the stage manager made Phyllis look bad.
JMFabiano:
On the topic of MG/HS....any idea when the episode where the board malfunctions is coming?
(someone on YouTube said it's actually coming later THIS week, but I'll take that with a grain of salt.)
