If you know game shows, you know of Mandel Ilagen. And if you are Mandel, you know everyone in game shows. More importantly, if you know Mandel, you know one of the nicest, coolest TV pros who is also a huge fan of the genre. As a friend, we were together the night before and he was there on my first day sub-announcing TPiR.
From creating "Half-off", to sparking, developing and programming for Fremantle and Fox Reality, and helping devise the format for my beloved TPiR-Live, Mandel is also quite the keyboardist. You can see him tickle the ivories Friday when the show offers a baby grand. Congrats, buddy!!

Tooting Mandel's horn... that's not dirty!
I dunno. Sounds dirty.
-
So does "tickling the ivories" for that matter...
(Come to think of it, "That's Not Dirty!" sounds like a great name for a game show.)

I seem to remember a category from the unfortunate ABC You Don't Know Jack game called "Things That Sound Dirty But Aren't." I don't know why that's always stuck with me, but this just reminded me of that.

Yeah... my sarcasm detector was working so we all had a good laugh courtesy of Robair. Most of us, anyway.

And my double entendre detector wasn't working, apparently.

Agreed!
Congrats, buddy!!
I second that, my friend...and I look forward to seeing the show! :)

Go, Mandel! You were great! Nice to hear the piano version of "Splendido" -- and great that you got to play the show to commercial. Must have been a blast. Again, congratulations!

For those who didn't see it (like myself), here's an audio clip. (http://\"http://www.sendspace.com/file/5bi5j3\").
Dang Mandel, that was awesome!
