Title: Name That GS Personality #2!
Post by: Winkfan on December 06, 2004, 11:44:44 PM
Before I give you the next set of brain teasers, here are the answers to the last set:
1.) Jim Peck (The Big Showdown was his first game show; he was 'reporter' on Divorce Court from 1984-89)
2.) Bennett Cerf (Random House publisher; his wife Phyllis' cousin was Ginger Rogers)
3.) Fannie Flagg (One of her books, Fried Green Tomatoes, became a movie starring Kathy Bates)
4.) Charlie Tuna (Scrabble announcer was a 'Boss Jock' at Los Angeles station KHJ, among others)
5.) Jimmie Walker (Co-starred on Good Times)
6.) Arlene & Ardelle Terry ('Elbow Grabbers' on the original Twenty-One, which was the focus of the 1994 movie, Quiz Show)
7.) Art James (Made his game show debut as Concentration announcer; hosted The Magnificent Marble Machine in 1975-76)
8.) Elaine Stewart (Appeared in several MGM movies; co-hostess on Gambit, which was created by her husband Merrill Heatter)
9.) Mark DeCarlo (Before he hosted STUDS and Big Deal, he was a winning contestant on Sale of the Century in 1986.)
10.) Mitzi McCall & Charlie Brill (Frequent guests on Tattletales; "I smell victory" was their tag line.)
If some of those were tricky, try this batch for size:
1.) I have hosted both game and talk shows. I won two Daytime Emmy awards in 2001. My current co-host is also a soap actress. Don't know who I am? Maybe you need a 'lifeline.'
2.) I have been both a game show host, and an announcer. I passed away in 1979. My most successful hosting gig was from 1969-73. I was the first to announce the 'winner's circle.'
3.) I am a panelist. I am also a veteran radio & TV actress. My most famous character came from the comic books. You may get a lump of 'kryptonite' for Christmas if you don't know my 'famous name.'
4.) I did my first game show in 1965. My wife is a former 'Miss America.' I made my TV debut as sidekick to a country-western legend. One of my shows is what you'd find on a target.
5.) I was a semi-regular on a popular celeb game show. I was in the cast of a classic sitcom. My character on that sitcom sounds like what is used to track down unidentified objects, flying or otherwise.
Good luck!
Cordially, Tammy Warner--the 'Laurie Locks of the Big Board!'

#3 is the apple of Robert Q's eye, Ms. Joan Alexander. Isn't it a coincidence that O'Reilly filled in for Reilly?
