Game show "ironies" (if any)
MSTieScott:
On the subject of unfortunate TPIR coincidences, there was one episode when, during the break, Drew saw a woman in the audience who had her arm in a cast. He asked her what happened, and she explained that she had been riding her bike when she was hit by a car.
Little did either of them know that she was on the contestant list, and one or two acts later, she was called to come on down. Drew had her explain her story again for the home TV audience, and then he asked for the next prize up for bids...
...which was a pair of bicycles.
That conversation was edited out of the final episode. (If I remember correctly, Drew might have recapped why she was in a cast later in the hour, after she had won her way up onstage.)

It was mentioned a few months back but in case anyone missed it...........Jack Barry on the Joker's Wild commenting on how the caricature on the one category slide looked like Tom Jones, and then the answer for the next question in the stack WAS Tom Jones.

In the episode of Debt that wink’s page posted shortly before learning of his death, there was a question about the tv series Ferris Bueller and the winning contestant’s one question category was the movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

That's just bad question stacking. You'd think someone would have gone through and made sure the three expert topics weren't broached in the main game.
