Title: Most Money Won By a Celebrity
Post by: mmb5 on June 13, 2008, 11:47:52 AM

Somebody just asked me an interesting question, namely, which celebrity player is probably responsible for the most game show winnings?  I told him I believe it would be Richard Dawson, since he was consistently responsible for about $10-$15K a week for five years on Match Game -- there's $2-3 million right there.  On target?  Off base?  Thoughts?

Dawson is probably right...I initially thought Betty White, with all her Password and Pyramid winnings.

Nipsey might be in there too, what with his stints on Rhyme and Reason (he was sorta the Dawson of that show), Pyramid, etc. and a myriad of others.
