I thought Olga was the “up the butt” woman, not the “in tha ass” woman. But yeah, that’s a good one. ETA: found it on Snopes, “[Up the butt, Bob](http://www.snopes.com/radiotv/tv/newlywed.asp)”. This is appropo, too, because host Jim Lange just passed away the other day. Oh wait a minute, that’s The Dating Game, not The Newlywed Game. ---

I missed the edit window. Here’s more about Olga from that Snopes link, [Up the butt, Bob](http://www.snopes.com/radiotv/tv/newlywed.asp): > [@](#): > > [Collected on the Internet, 1994] > > Over a beer, friends and I are discussing TV bloopers. One friend says that she was watching The Newlywed Game one day and the bonus question was “Where is the most unusual place that you and your husband have ever made whoopee?” After receiving responses like “the bathroom of a 747” and “the kitchen table,” Bob Eubanks comes to a “not-too-literate” [black] lady who, after a lengthy deliberation, states “It be the butt, Bob”. > HOST: Where did your wife say you had your most unusual “whoopee session”? > HUSBAND: In the sink. > > HOST: I’m sorry; your wife said ‘in the butt.’ > HUSBAND: Damn, I almost said that. Olga and her husband, both are gems. ---

Oh wait a minute, that’s The Dating Game, not The Newlywed Game. The video is on youtube. It’s bleeped, but she clearly says “In the ass.” The transcript in your snopes link agrees. ---
