Richard Dawson: “Name a noisy bird.” Contestant: “Uh-uh-uh… **CHIPMUNK!** ” That’s on of my favorites… People will say some really nutty things under pressure. ---

I remember a Family Feud episode with the short guy hosting (Ray something? the one who commited suicide). There was a black family named “the Blacks” versus a white family named “the Whites”. ---

I remember an episode of the Gong Show when EVERY act sang “Feelings”! It wasn’t until the third one started singing that I caught on to the joke…the gongs were flying that day! ---

Maybe the contestant was Canadian. I only ask b/c I know of a Canadian band, they have a song with a line that starts “it was an Easter Monday Morning…” Must go ask Canadian friends… I love Richard Dawson! ---

Show: Wheel of Fortune When: Mid-80’s, I’m thinking 1984-5. Amount of $$ to be won by the player who had the spin: $65,000± The Clue: “T-e T–ll of V-ctory and T-e Agony of Defeat” Their Answer: “The Troll of Victory and the Agony of Defeat?” :lol: ---

Are you sure it was TPIR? I remember a story (though it sounds kinda urban legend-ey) that I contestant on Let’s Make a Deal once picked the curtain with a hippo behind it and after the show, knowing that such an animal was probably expensive, demanded that he be allowed to keep it! A legal battle ensued and he was awarded a sizeable cash settlement. ---
