How does a person get on a game show

[easyliving]

So I've been taking the Jeopardy online test for years and I've finally realized I have no shot. I have a fairly solid amount of pop culture knowledge. Anyone on here ever appear on a game show or came close to appearing on one? How does 1 apply for all these game shows and whats the easiest 1 to get on?

You have to make a full court hook shot.

Remember that guy in the 80's who figured out that game show?

That was my favorite game show growing up as a kid... and I can't believe I missed that episode. Thanks for the post Vodka! Unreal!

I can't believe that guy memorized the pattern. You'd figure the stage crew would of noticed that and changed something? Wow.

LOL I actually watched the entire hour long video at youtube. The patterns did change a couple of times. He avoided a whammy once in just a split second around the 75k mark. There was a pattern he was following... but a secondary pattern started screwing with his original. I think he had 2 patterns going on.

Not sure if anyone on this board can stomach Ira Glass, but he had a great way of telling this guy's story.http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radi...on-dollar-idea

At what point does he talk about it?

[GUMMO77]

At what point does he talk about it?

At the 38:15 mark.

And I was wrong: It's not Ira Glass on this one.

[LordVodka]

Seems like his life was a mess. What a poor bastard. Winning that gameshow was the only time he didn't scam someone.


There's also an interesting story about a guy who cheated on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire and won the million. He had to serve jail time for it.

Just google evey show. I think on old shows like lets make a deal and the price is right they just pick em out of the audience. But thats a good question so I will check into it. Anybody remember Slumdog Millionaire was a good movie.

One thing I know you win a car or something like that most people have to sell them because of the tax and fee's involved.

Want to laugh your ass off google SNL Jeopardy.

this guy was a genius.

he had to memorize several sets of patterns and execute them under pressure without practice.

it just sucks that in the documentary i watched, they made him out to be an evil guy...
