Title: Jewish game show hosts/panelists?
Post by: PeterTomarkensGal on April 02, 2005, 10:20:42 PM
Does anyone know which GS hosts and panelists are/were Jewish (or have a guess that they were)? Just wondering, have nothing against it. (I am Jewish myself)

Our Dear DZinkin? Did the question ask for Jewish moderators? After all, YOU were the one who asked the question originally.

This may be a first, A moronic question, answered incorrectly by the original poster.

Congratulations, PeterGirl, on your historic accomplishment.

Memo to PeterTomarkensGal: As much as I enjoyed hosting Who Wants to Be a Moronionaire I prefer to leave that sort of thing back at ATGS.

Memo to Matt: Rest assured that I am not your "dear" anything either.  The mental image (http://\"http://gameshow.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=4676&view=findpost&p=46667\") of you watching Jeopardy! would have guaranteed that, had there been a chance of such a thing to begin with. :-)

Henceforth anyone who tries to convince me that I was incorrect about the effects of prolonged exposure to Peter Tomarken will be pointed to this thread.

Speaking of Tomarken, I'm pretty sure he qualifies.

The second one is a great read.

Are you sure? I actually thought he was an atheist, because at the end of the Big Bucks documentary he says "IF there is a G-d up there, watch your pockets."

That statement does not (necessarily, as I don't know Peter's religion, and I definitely don't think you do) an atheist make, my dear.

Tyshaun, sad as it may seem, Zach actually got line of the day a couple of weeks ago. Give it to him if you must, but it's doubtful to me if it's deserved.

From when he was doing GSN's "Prime Games".  There were a few occasions where a Jewish holiday would come up and he'd be off.  Also, after he left the network in late 1996, he came back for a few occasions to fill in when the regular host wasn't there.  One of those occasions was late Christmas Eve 1997.

Circumstantial evidence maybe, but to me it adds up.
