Do we know if the three-in-a-lifetime rule that Ray Winston ran afoul had any exceptions? I ask because Mort Kamins said on YouTube that he was on Jeopardy in 1978, Double Dare in 1977, and You Don't Say in 1964, although he lost on the latter.

If Ray Winston made that his argument during his case, he would have probably won.  NBC would have to either take back all the winnings Mort won or payout the cash jackpot to Mr. Winston.  The only other exception I can think of would be that Mort appeared on You Don't Say as a minor (maybe a teen week).  I was trying to look up how old he is, but could not find anything.

He was 41 when he did Krypton Factor in 1983, so he'd have been an adult by then.

Obviously it changed given Mort was on three since 1990, so maybe it changed with the passage of time.

Bumping to share this /r/gameshow post from one of Maureen's kids:

https://www.reddit.com/r/gameshow/comments/1j98c2l/old_school_sale_of_the_century_1983/

I did not see any additional info about Maureen specifically in the last few pages of this thread, but based on what her kid is looking to do for her mom...

...Is this the same Maureen McGovern who sang the theme for The Poseidon Adventure movie and the theme ti the TV show Angie (and hit the top 40 charts on both?)

It is not, this Maureen has since passed.

I'm rooting for Elizabeth or Ken to get the host Emmy. As for the outstanding show, as long as Celeb FF doesn't get it, I'm good with it.
