Happy New Year! The Net Match Game - Hollywood Squares Hour is about to ride again. First, a few notes... \ This is my first NMG-HSH since Hurricane Katrina. I can tell you the neighborhoods of South Mississippi are recovering nicely. We've still got a ways to go toward a full recovery. If Santa left some spare money in your stocking and you want to send it to a Katrina recovery fund, visit http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2005/katrina/help.center/ for a few suggestions on where to send money. \ Now, on to a much happier matter. Our current champion, Andy Geller, has two wins and CY$65,300 in winnings. He'll either need to win the next Hollywood Squares match-up outright or collect another CY$34,700 or more. He, of course, plays the winner of Match Game, which you're trying to qualify for. \ Joining our usual suspects on the celebrity panel are some cast members of the Game Show News Net program "We Love To Interrupt". In case you've never seen it, check out www.gameshownewsnet.com and click on WLTI. \ Because we've got folks from GSNN and WLTI visiting us, all of the Match Game material deals with game and reality shows. Time to look for contestants. To play the Match Game portion of our internet game, please respond to this with the following... \ Your name \ Your e-mail address that you wish for the hosts to send you NMG-HSH-related e-mail \A sentence or two about yourself (like real game shows) \Your answer to this qualifying question... On October 31, 2005 at 4:00pm CST, we watched a GSN rerun of "Family Feud". How many total times did Richard Dawson kiss the female contestants in the half-hour episode? (Note: If Richard kissed a woman before a contestant plug or during the closing credits, it wasn't shown on GSN and, thus, we didn't count it.) (time passes) And we're all locked in. Survey said...
(ding) ...a dozen smooches. Who's the closest? Dauberdude 12 Oronde Jarratta 12 ("Greed" tie sfx) Woah! Our first perfect tie of '06. Well, to the rest of the universe, sorry, but these two beat you to the punch. Keep in mind we're planning an extended cyber-phone match audience game toward the end of this episode. Now then, who locked 12 in first? Dauberdude 12 I'm reasonably certain this is Rick Morris (please confirm if that's you either way). Oronde, you'll take the second desk. Let's play the fe... ah...
