NMG-HSH is about to ride again. Some notes before we commence... \ Joining our usual suspects on the celebrity panel are a few old friends -- Will Morris (no relation to Ryan or me), Chris Wolvie and the dean of dealing, Dean Scungio. Also with us is Adam Nedeff, webmaster of GameShowUtopia.net -- home to salutes to four of the best emcees in the game show genre -- Bill Cullen, Geoff Edwards, Tom Kennedy and Gene Rayburn. \ Our previous champ retired undefeated. So, we're looking for three civilian players. The closest to the qualifying question becomes our designated champion in Hollywood Squares; the next two closest play against each other in Match Game for the right to advance to HS and play against our designated champ. \ As usual, if you were a civilian player in Match Game and/or Hollywood Squares over the last three episodes (to wit, Game 21, 22 and 23), please sit on your hands and let someone else in on the fun. Not sure when you played? Go to www.nmghsh.cjb.net and click on "archives". Time to look for contestants. To get in the 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 July 12, 2005 at 5:30pm CDT, we watched an i (formerly PAX TV) rerun of "On The Cover". How many total covers were correctly identified in the first round? (time passes) OK, how many covers were ID'd correctly.
(ding) I don't have the names -- but the first and last contestants each gave three correct answers and the middle player five. So, total of 11. Who's the closest? Robert McBride 12 Steve Michaels 12 ("Greed" tie sfx) Tie between Robert and Steve. Now, the player who locked in 12 first becomes our designated champion. And he is... Robert McBride 12 ...Robert. So, we'll see you later when you play the X's in Hollywood Squares. Steve, you'll get to pick first in Match Game. Next closest is... Michael Clifford 13 ...Michael Clifford. To everyone else, thanks for playing. NMG-HSH -- next. ====================================================================== Rich Jeffries: "So, You Think You Can Dance With The Stars On Ice?"
