Looks like some 'average' 10-year olds may grace your tellys in the near future -- both Primetime  & Daytime.

If you polled 100 U.S. non-game show fans, I'll bet fewer than 50% would remember Anne Robinson.

The actual number of non-game show fans who remember Anne Robinson is . . . 17!  Chris, you get to take a crack at the cards!
