Title: NBC "Scattergories" question
Post by: That Don Guy on November 19, 2003, 09:23:18 PM
Here's one for the GSF gang: did they ever reveal, on NBC's Scattergories, just how they decided who was on that five-person "jury" (or who they were, for that matter)?  (For all I know, they were just the producers' neighbors...)

 I think I remember Dick Clark saying that former Scattergories contestants sometimes made up the jury.

 I thought they were plucked out of the studio audience.

 I remember Dick also saying they had former contestants, or at least at first. I distinctly remember it from the first ep. and asking myself how you could have "former contestants" on the premiere.

I believe they made no mention of that panel until the second week. Certainly they didn't appear on the premeire. (of all the episodes I taped when it was on, that's the only one I've been able to find since about 1995)
