Holy Inflation Batman! Link to original video: https://youtu.be/3UpXJTRFQdo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Yidn, shreibt un fershreibt" "The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them. At Rotterdam, London, Warsaw and half a hundred other places, they put their rather naive theory into operation. They sowed the wind, and now they are going to reap the whirlwind." -Bomber Harris | ||

I remember my cousin David, who was a few years older than me, commenting he'd kiss the bottom of one of the women. At the time I was quite puzzled by that comment. | |||

I can't believe how good he was from the very first episode - no first time jitters or awkwardness. What a pro! | |||

Two things were interesting for me. that the price is right with Bob Barker was a rehash of an old price is right. And it looks like the voice announcer was also the same one all these years with Bob. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

I think he was a game show veteran. My mom (70yo now) was on Let's Make a Deal with him at one point, before TPIR “The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false-face for the urge to rule it.”—H.L. Mencken | |||

I think I have heard stories that he might have bumped heads with Bob if he attempted that. ------------------------------ "They who would give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin "So this is how liberty dies; with thunderous applause." - Senator Amidala (Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith) | |||

Anyone remember the Mary Tyler Moore episode with Lou Grant reluctantly trying to persuade Ted Baxter not to quit and take a job as the emcee of a quiz show? " C'mon, Ted, do you really want people saying ' there goes Ted Baxter. He's a quizzzzzmaster' " I think of that every time I see one of these shows. | |||

Probably on a trip |
Oh man, that was classic. So much good stuff - the first item up for bids? A FUR COAT!!!! And the bids are..what, like 150, 300, 650, 1000? No one knows how to screw anyone else! This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears above ground he is a protector. Plato | |||

He hosted Truth or Consequences for nearly 20 years before TPIR. Then a few other shows. Don't think he ever hosted Let's Make a Deal, though. I'm gonna vote for the funniest frog with the loudest croak on the highest log. | |||

Whoops! That was the one. Truth or Consequences. I called her last night to ask. “The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false-face for the urge to rule it.”—H.L. Mencken | |||

They used to regularly have products from a mail order house in Chicago called Speigel. Wonder what happened to Speigel. My wife's grandmother won a bunch of stuff on Price is Right somewhere around 1980. | |||
