Celebs Who Went Under Different First Names

(1/3) > >>

TimK2003:
Got into this conversation after watching the MG School Riot episode again:

Which celebrities went under different/slightly different first names on game shows?

On Match Game '7x, Ed Asner went under both "Ed" and "Edward" on the name plate, as did "William" and "Bill" Shatner.

"Jim J." Bullock was sometimes known as "Jm. J", (no i) and occasionally as just "Jim".

"Zsa Zsa" Gabor was also known as "Princess Zsa Zsa" on Davidson's HQ, when she was married to Frédéric Prinz von Anhalt, aka "Prince Frederick".

Others?

BrandonFG:
Scoey Mitchell was never consistent about how many “O”s he had in his name.

Vicki Lawrence sometimes added “Schultz” to her last name.

EDIT: I just realized my second example goes against what Tim was asking.

Brian44:
Patty Duke and Patty Duke-Astin (Does that count?)

Even though she was married to John throughout the entire MG '7X run, CNR almost always referred to her as just Patty Duke. That left me confused as a kid because I thought maybe they had divorced sooner than they actually did.

Or the number of L's.

When appearing on All-Star Blitz, he was identified as "Jm. Bullock," I think because of not enough space on nameplate, and on the premiere episode of The New Battlestars, Charlie Tuna introduced him as "Jimmy Bullock" with the nameplate reading "Jimmy."  Sometimes a contestant calling on him would say "J.M. Bullock," or "J.M.J. Bullock."
