As I pointed out on alt.fan.letterman (Paul Shaffer will be a player), Reege has been a player on Celeb J!. Alex said he came in last on both occasions.

Has Susan Lucci ever been on a game show before? I remember when FF was on ABC, there would be daytime stars from AMC, GH etc.

Little late to the party there, buddy.

I'd love to see Rachael Ray and Regis Philbin in the same matchup....Ray will drive poor Regis nuts...

As much as I dislike Rachael Ray, that WOULD be cool to see.

PYLDude: I LOL'd at your "from" on your profile.

[Craig Karlberg]

Rachel Ray & Regis Philbin would make for a very intresting match-up indeed.  However, I'd throw in Curt Schilling to join them.  While Rache & Regis try to verbally abuse each other, Curt'll go full steam ahead & let'em fly burying them.  That's a match-up I'd like to see.  I'm not that into celebrity J! unless Regis is on there.

Some in the Tri-state area (like myself) may remember Mario best for hosting Steampipe Alley.

Is it a good thing or a bad thing that I recognize about six names on the list?[/quote]
As they say in quiz bowl, there is no shame, only points.  There's nothing inherently good or bad about being completely clueless about popular culture, and really, not recognizing at least a few of those names is pretty clueless.  

The tone of your original post was inescapably, "I don't know who those people are, therefore they must not be very famous."  If you really are as out of touch with movies and TV as you now claim, you could have saved a lot of grief all the way down the line by just not contributing to this particular thread, or at least making it a lot clearer that you were genuinely asking for information.  (For example, not every post has to include "the hell" in it.)  Though if you've gone this long without knowing who Neil Patrick Harris, Sam Waterston and Bebe Neuwrith are, it seems unlikely that you would suddenly develop an interest in them.

She did appear on a handful of Robin Ward's "To Tell The Truth" episodes (at least one is on the trading circuit).

...and of course her memorable stint on "Game Breakers". <ducking>

Not just the Tri-state--back when WWOR was a superstation (a la WGN and TBS) I saw the show too.

This is known as Kidder 3:16 (after the person who coined the phrase), and is usually uttered as comfort to quiz bowl players who ring on questions that show a little too much knowledge on what some may consider a shameful topic, such as knowing Britney Spears lyrics.  Mr. Kidder is famous for once buzzing in after hearing just the name 'Viliumas Malinauskas' and giving the correct answer*.


--Mike

*Viliumas Malinauskas created the museum known as Stalinworld

Ironically (I think...), we had a 'SPE' pop quiz on a QuizBusters episode we taped last night, sure enough, one of the players got 'Britney Spears' as one of the correct answers, looked embarassed about it, and I comforted her using that very phrase.
