Title: Calling the Masters of the Hollywood Squares Episode Guides
Post by: mmb5 on August 05, 2023, 08:52:13 PM

Lately I have been on a binge of watching 70s TV movies.  The one I watched this evening (Say Goodbye, Maggie Cole) had some "acting" from a person named Michele Nichols.  She went on to other one offs on other 70s shows before fading away - EXCEPT - she is listed as a panelist in Season 4 of Whoopi Squares.

I am wondering if this was really meant to be Nichelle Nichols.  This would have been the week of 5/23/99 with Whoopi, Gilbert Gottfried, Loretta Swit, Caroline Rhea, Dick Van Patten, Bruce Vilanch, Cindy Williams, and Marcia Wallace.

At least two tape trading websites do indeed credit Nichelle as the Nichols in question.

IMDB is full of miscredited names.  Not surprised of a slip-up.
