BUT I WANTED TO SLEEP IN…

By Rex O’Rourke

Little Rock Arkansas – I don’t know if anyone’s heard but a team formerly known as The Titans is playing a team formerly from Baltimore for something called the Lamar Hunt Trophy, later today. You might have heard or read something in the papers about it. Seems it’s quite a story!

Top five game shows of all-time.

5. The original Hollywood Squares hosted by Peter Marshall featuring Paul Lynde in the center square. As campy as it gets.

4. Who Wants to be a Millionaire? with Regis Philbin. You always wanted to know the capital of Senegal, didn’t you?

3. Jeopardy with Alex Trebek in a squeaker over the original with Art Fleming. Really the gold standard of infotainment.

2. Match Game with Gene Rayburn. Sexual innuendo with Charles Nelson Reilly and Fannie Flagg. Who cares who wins! I wonder where I can get my hands on a two foot skinny microphone?

1. The Price is Right with Bob Barker. Drew Carey is doing an OK job but Happy Gilmore’s golfing buddy is still the gold standard. As smooth as a gravy sandwich. Those actual retail prices ($800 for a $200 grill, $4000 for a wire hammock) actually make it challenging. My only question is, when the first three contestants go $450, $600, and $350, why does the fourth invariably go with $850 instead of $601? How dumb are these people?

Finally, check out my boy Bob Ley today on Outside The Lines. Mark McGwire will be exposed for the liar and cheat that he is? Again!

Until next week,
Rex
