Title: Fun Question about Dick Clark
Post by: kidsplash on June 20, 2005, 07:20:32 PM
We all know that Dick Clark is involved in "The $10,000/$20,000/$25,000/$50,000/$100,000 Pyramid". But the question is...

In what other "pyramid" show is Dick Clark involved?
(Hint: Dick didn't host it, he produced it.)

If that's the answer, I will be severely disappointed.

'Fraid he's right.  Except it was known as the "Tower of Greed".

Though Dick hosted it, we could make a little case for the Challengers. The three question choices in each category were displayed like a two-tier pyramid, with one on top and two on the bottom. Ditto for the Final Challenge question choices.

I'm not saying he's not. But if Kidsplash is coming in here, to this audience, with "fun trivia" like "Hey, guess what, Dick Clark was EP of Greed! Isn't that weird?", then that pretty much deserves a wow, a WHOOSH, and Woolery Left Wheel all at the same time.

I was hoping it might be something a little more interesting than that, like him being EP of one of those Geraldo Rivera shows where they excavated a pyramid or something.

Here I thought he might have produced some training videos for Amway.

That's what I was gonna guess, Chris. Maybe he produced an Egyptology documentary for PBS or something.

No, we couldn't. Because directly above your latest offering, the OP says Dick didn't host it. Ergo, tantum and sacramentus, we can't make a case for it because it doesn't fit the clue.
Hoping it isn't as easy an answer as Greed and that Splash Boy has given us a true stumper, I'm going to guess Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins.

I'm wondering if maybe he had something shot at the Pyramid hotel? One of the Celebrity Boxing specials maybe? Hell, it couldn't be no worse than Zach's guess.

(mutters: the Challenger's categories were stacked like a pyramid...what the fu...)

Dick produces many awards shows, and some of the awards that are handed out are bound to be pyramidal in shape.

(I've already assumed that the answer kidsplash has will be unsatisfying to the assembled masses, so I've gone in search of the most creative possibilities I can think of.)

You mean like the American Music Awards?  Then of course there was the "Girl with the Golden Bloopers," which were more conical than pyramidal.

Correct, Matt! The AMA's is the answer with its famous pyramid-shaped trophy!

At least give credit where credit is due.  Jimmy actually came up with the correct answer (Matt laid the groundwork, but it was Jimmy who jumped in with the specifics and thus should get. . .DOUBLE THE POIN [ah, screw it]).

Doug -- and the countdown to 1300 begins

Okay, that's a little better. Still pretty widely known, but certainly a better answer than Greed woulda been. :)

Lord, yes. I think many people consider them to be more legit than the Grammy's, mostly because they're voted on via a poll of actual people who buy music, instead of the producers and what not who vote on the Grammy's.

You heard the OP.  Those are MY points.  MINE.  Jimmy gets NOTHING.  NOTHING I tell you!
