Following up on Matt's very astute comments about doing yer freakin' legwork, if you'd taken the twelve seconds it takes to load up NBA.COM, then the four more it takes to click the "Inside Stuff" link on the front page, you'd know that it's still her and Ahmad. [/quote]

She was also featured on one of the pilots for To Tell The Truth '90 in a One On One segment. She is a "screamer" for the movies, dubbing in screaming for Kate Capshaw in Indiana Jones & The Temple of Doom, for example. I don't recall if they ever used her on an aired show.

In case anyone cares, she was.

Very honorable of you.  It probably looks to many as though I overreacted, but I've just got a thing about research and getting correct information out there. 

My one piece of advice -- worded more politely -- is to be careful about making blanket statements like "his current whereabouts are unknown" without checking first. (It hardly took a "massive" amount of effort.)  You could say something like "I don't know anything more about him", but that gets into an entirely different issue of whether to bother to post at all. [/quote]
Doing a Google Advanced Groups Search using ATGS can be a big help to find out game show information, certainly. But I believe there is no archive for our six month stay on Ezboard, correct? [/quote]
 Well...you can still access the board itself and read old posts if you would want to.

[quote name=\'gamed121683\' date=\'Mar 29 2004, 03:09 PM\'] Where are they now, huh? Can I Play?, I got a good one! :-).

As we already known Donald Trump is the host of "The Apprentince" ("Your'e Fired!" [oh, were gonna have to pay royalities for that one now, are we?) but 14 years earlier he put on the air a game show called "Trump Card".  The host of that show was not "The Trumpster" rather a former NFL player named Jimmy Cefalo. For my friends who live in Broward, Dade, or Monroe county here in Florida you already know what happened to him. Although for those who aren't, check out this link...

 Not to mention that Cefalo hails from the same area this year's GSC is coming from....

 Warning: Useless Trivia Alert!  Toffler was the captain of the only group in Greed history to pass on two Terminator challenges.  He and four other men went on to take home $100,000 each.

Toffler was also a contestant on Debt.

Concerning the original post:  Wasn't Michelle Roth later on one of the shopping channels.  I keep thinking QVC (but then again, we also had HSN and FNN's Telshop.)

 She was announcing FNN/Score's game show Time Out for Trivia, around the same time she did Crosswits.

That was it!  So it was Score.  I knew it was one of those.

(BTW, FNN merged into CNBC in the 90s.  And that's when CNBC took off.)

'twas TelShop.

TelShop was my introduction to shopping programming, since it was on overnights on one of the UHF stations in Chicago before I got cable and before HSN took over channel 60.  In retrospect, it was much quirkier in presentation and outlook then HSN and most of the other shopping shows--Michelle was extremely soft-sell much of the time (which made for a great late-night soundtrack, if you get my drift), and Todd Donaho and the other guy on the show whose full name I forget (he was John) did a *lot* of winking at the camera about the quality of what they were selling.  Quite a difference from HSN's stridency when they came into Chicago broadcast.

You're thinking about John Darin, who was a frequent sight in infomercials as well (not always as Darin).

Speaking of GS connections, one Pirie Jones was a TelShop host. IIRC, she was one of the models on the disaster that was Bargain Hunters. And, of course, Todd was the "Commissioner of Sports Trivia" when it was good to take Time Out for Trivia.

Pirie Jones used to be *all over* cable.  If she wasn't doing "TelShop" (I still remember that "finger snap" promo that ran on FNN), she was hosting on MovieTime, the predecessor to E! (along with some guy named Greg Kinnear), she was one of the first hosts of Encore in their early days (along with some guy named Mark DeCarlo), hosting on the Fashion Channel (or style. 15 years ahead of its time) or doing an infomercial.

And while Googling Pirie, I just happen to uncover this article (WARNING:  PDF file) that discloses that Pirie introduced one of our least favorite hosts to his wife.  Aw.
