Could you be a contestant on a game show?

I had a neighbor who won Name That Tune. She was normally wacky.
I had another friend who was getting together a team for Family Feud. She could be the level of animated the producers want, but didn’t get pat the audition.
I don’t have that combination of craziness and cuteness.

I could but I have no desire to be on television for any reason.

I wouldn’t do well. I’d feel self conscious and I’d not be able to concentrate.

I was when I was a kid.

I was a TV high school quiz bowl team member. We dominated except for making the mistake of not having someone on board who knew sports.

I would do much the same on Jeopardy today. I would kill the history/science/literature questions and get killed on sports and recent pop culture.

Sure, we play Jeopardy every night. I’m very competitive.

I could do Jeopardy.

I could also do Jeopardy.

Except when they did the break for contestant anecdotes, I’d say, “Miyam, let’s bypass my forgettable autobiographical tidbits and GET BACK TO THE GAME!”

@Caravanfan What show were you on?

Nope. Have no desire to be on TV anyway. And things are different with hosts when are off camera. When I was a kid, I was on a local kiddo cartoon show with my Cub Scout group, where the host asks questions of kids, like what grade are you in, how old are you, etc. The guy was cool on camera when they cut to a cartoon or commerical and we got chatty .and loud, as boys will do, he yelled out, “You kids shut up!” And when my bud asked him if his gun was real (he was a cowboy character) as we left the studio he told the guy that “Yes it is, and if you and your pal (meaning me) don’t get out of here I’ll shoot you with it”. I wouldn’t go near a game showmor a TB host for love or money. Hell with it. And that my friends is a true story.

TV host I meant. Stupid typos driving me nuts.

Depends on the game show. There’s no way I could ever be on Family Feud, I couldn’t stomach being all fake and over the top. But I definitely think I’d do well on Wheel of Fortune or Jeopardy.

Put me on The Price is Right. I’ll act crazy. I’m also familiar with pricing.

I wanted to be on Wheel Of Fortune from the time the first episode aired.
Anybody else old enough to remember that nobody won cash in the first version?
I would be good at it, but I would need someone to spin the wheel for me. Leaning so far and reaching out, of itself, would cause terrible issues.
I went to an “audition stop” in Reno. It was a nightmare. Outdoors, cold, windy, and a huge, unruly crowd. Things began with a drawing. Of over a thousand people, they drew maybe a dozen names. A large number of the entries blew away because the people gathering them didn’t care. Nobody tried to retrieve them. We didn’t know if our names were even in the cage. It took all day, and yet nothing was accomplished.
I didn’t watch the show again for some time. After months I drifted back. It was great for my daughter. Seven years old, and she could do better than some of the contestants. I took to recording it, and then let her watch that. Then I could pause it just before they solved to see if she knew it.
That made it fun for me again, for a couple of years.

Don’t have the personality for it.

I can’t even remember my own name when I get nervous, so I can’t do it.
As a teenager, I went on a children’s show to show off my dog’s tricks and that went very well. I didn’t have to talk.

That is inconceivable. I don’t even watch them.

Could? Anybody could. Would I want to? Sure, it may be fun though I’ve no desire to win any of the prizes.

@Dutchess_III and @Brian1946 We really enjoy watching old episodes. I think it’s on Netflix.

@Jonsblond: There’s a documentary out now about a guy who did really well on Price is Right. He had Excel charts with products and options and prices. He memorized charts and charts and was really gung-ho about Price is Right.

I’d probably say something stupid.

@RocketGuy I’ve been around you a lot. It doesn’t take a game show for that to happen. :-)

Lol!

But at least it doesn’t get broadcast to 100M people when I do that.

@RocketGuy I can absolutely guarantee that the game show I was on as a kid wasn’t broadcast to 100M people.
