I saw this on Wheel of Fortune. This lady is having the luckiest spinning round I have ever seen and has over $30,000 in her bank with the answer obviously being “Chocolate Custard Pie”. Her guess was “Chocolate Mustard Pie”.
I’ll never forget the Wheel of Fortune episode on which I first heard the expression “happy as a clam.”
It was “phrase”:
_ _ _ _ Y AS A _ _ _ M
One guy decides to solve. “Lucky as a worm,” he says.
Even now, years later, I occasionally stop to wonder in what way a worm could be considered lucky.
Hi monkfish, your appearance completely confused me, because I thought you had chosen your nick from the host of Family Fortunes, but then I realised thats Monkhouse 
Welcome in btw!
Oh, I left a good one out of the previous Family Feud thing:
Name a dangerous race.
THE ARABS
Wheel of Fortune:
Actual answer is “having a nightcap.” Man guesses “Hanging a nightcop.” Pat Sajak is incredulous, and shouts, “This is Wheel of Fortune!” as if to say that hanging policemen, no matter what time of day is not only strange, but not good game show fodder.
Some time ago, I read about outtakes from game shows. This one never made it to the air (and I don’t think it was ever shown in any of the blooper shows):
From Jackpot:
Q. What dance would you associate with Hugh Hefner?
A. The Hora!
Family Feud:
Q. Name one of Santa’s reindeer other than Rudolph.
A. Snippy
Wheel of Fortune:
All letters displayed except one: Pennsylvania D_tch
A: Pennsylvania Ditch
From Pyramid:
Tony Randall trying to get contestant to say “Shakespeare”, says, “Greatest playwright of the English language.”
Contestant says, “Neil Simon.”
Tony lies face down on floor & refuses to get up.
To Tell The Truth: Bill Cullen disqualifies himself cause he saw the parakeet trainer in the men’s room. Someone asked how he knew it was the guy. Bill’s response:
He had his bird in his hand.
There was a similar clip on the gameshow bloopers program that Fox aired last night. Last puzzle of the half-hour, category was things and the contestant guessed “pill pushers”. And Pat Sajak shouted “This is Wheel of Fortune!”
The thing about Family Feud is that dumb answers aren’t always dumb, because they’re frequently up on the board. Being dumb is definitely not a flaw on that show, just as long as you’re dumb in the same way that a lot of other people are dumb.
I’m thinking in particular of the “excited” answer (Name something people feel before they buy it). I like that answer a lot more than any ‘actual’ answers to the question.
Jeff–If it wasn’t “pill pushers” then what was it?
till pushers? bill pushers? pull pushers? I’m confused.
You know what? So am I! Too bad the real answer wasn’t included in that clip. 
Well wishers, I believe.
No offense, but you guys should sharpen your skills of wording if you ever want to get on the shows. Then again, so should I. “Wording?”
I thought there’d only be one wrong letter
Wheel of Fortune:
The category: Headlines
“FLORIDA MARLINS WIN _HE WORLD SERIES”
“The” - the guy/girl/whatever couldn’t get the word “the”!!!
Howard Stern quizes Strippers on general knowledge type questions for prizes. I recall some funny ones off hand:
Who won the Civil War? - We did
How many sides on a pentagon? - 7
He was the first president of the U.S.? - Lincoln
Who did the U.S. fight in World War II - Mexico
and many, many misses on questions like what is 5 times 20 (consistent answers like 60) or what is 120 dived by 40 (answers something like 20)…
I will/cannot swear this is not like WWE “entertainment sports” but I will say they seem to be trying
[Family Guy, watching WoF]
Board is showing: MY WIFE’S HAIRY _UNT
Contestant: “My wife’s hairy aunt”
[/FG]
The scene was actually like this, IIRC:
[All we can see of the puzzle so far is “GO UCK YOURSELF”]
Contestant:“Go tuck yourself in.”
[He is correct]
Chris: You almost got that one, Dad.
Brian: I’m still surprised he missed “My wife’s hairy aunt.”
A couple more from the British Weakest Link:
Which political party is led by US President George W Bush, the Republicans or the Democrats? The Democrats
In food, a ham and pineapple pizza topping shares its name with which island state of the USA? Chicago
So? How many Americans know Tony Blair’s party? And for the record, the President isn’t even the leader of his party.
I did once see an episode of Wheel of Fortune where the guy had the wheel down pat, consistently getting the $10,000 space (which is only a third of a normal space, flanked by two "bankrupt"s), but didn’t have any wording skills. He didn’t make any particularly spectacular blunders, though.
