Title: Which Game Show Would You Most Like to Appear On?
Post by: Ash on August 15, 2007, 04:30:55 AM
I watched Wheel of Fortune the other night and it got me thinking...

If you could appear on any current U.S. game show, which one would it be and why?

My list of shows for you to choose from above are game shows that are still going today. 
No past game shows that have been cancelled have been included.
(past game shows are for another thread)

I chose Cash Cab (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cash_Cab).
Most times, I can ace every question that driver Ben Bailey asks.
Every now and then though, he'll drop some bombs and I won't have a clue as to what the answer may be.

Cash Cab!  (will these contestants win?)

My second choice would be The Price Is Right.

How about you?

Now you've done it Ash.  I had to think long and hard about this one and I voted for Jeopardy.  If I could pick a sub category, Rock N Roll Jeopardy which I always seemed to do well on. 

Cash Cab is a good show and I usually do pretty good with it.  The best part of the show is the people's reactions when they first find out they're on a game show in a cab.

Deal or No Deal and I'd be happy to deal for 10 grand plus, assuming that offer would be made, rather than getting greedy and leaving with 10p like a lot of people do.

Jeopardy without a doubt.  I watch it every night and do quite well, surprisingly.  My wife and I will often count which of us gets an answer right and tally up the scores at the end of the show.  The scores are normally close but I'm usually the victor.

Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader?

I'd appear on that.

Definitely Smarter than a 5th Grader because I am smarter that a 5th grader.  6th grader is a bit trickier.

I ould say Jeopardy, as I can do pretty well on it, but there are some times when I'm completely at a loss.  Not to mention having to buzz in right away.

I would go for Who Wants To Be  Millionaire? everytime I watch that show the questions are so easy I could win a million easy.

My first instinct is to say Jeopardy, but some times I do really well when watching it and other times I don't do so great. With my luck, I'd get on there and they'd have categories I knew nothing about, like Ancient Druidic Philosophy or something similar. So I guess I'd choose Who Wants To Be  Millionaire?

When they had Rock n Roll Jeapordy on the air, I could answer almost every question on it correctly.

I could have cleaned house on that show.

As far as the rest listed, I could probably do good on Millionaire from the episodes that I've seen of it.

Let's make a deal or "Beat the Clock" if they were still on. Most of the new gameshows are crap - no real challenge and the dummies win obscene amounts of money

on "let's make a deal" you could trade your box for what was behind curtain #3 (which was usually a donkey)

It has long been my dream to appear in Jeopardy.  10 years ago I had saved up all my spare cash to go.  Then I git a knee injury and had to spend it on living. 
Stupid reality

Either Jeopardy or Millionaire ... I really like Cash Cab but just not enough money there to be won. I think the biggest winner was only $3000 ... I'm sorry $3000 isn't enough, might pay all my bills for a month.

I chose Jeopardy, watching it a home I usually do well, don't know how well I'd do in front of an audience though.
My second choice would be Ninja Warrior, mainly because it just looks like a lot of fun, and I like physical challenges
