Since we lost the last one, I will restart it over here.

Have Appeared On
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire
Tony Danza Show (okay not really a game show, but I won money)

Also Have Tried Out For
College Greed - where my music weakness was truly exposed

Would Like to Appear On
Jeopardy!
Amazing Race - maybe
Survivor - maybe

Nothing else out there that I would jump through hoops for at this time.

OK, here's mine...

Have been on
Who Wants to be a Millionaire (primetime edition, December 2000)

Have tried out for and would like to appear on
Jeopardy!

I fleetingly entertained the notion of trying out for Merv Griffin's Crosswords but after having seen the show I'm not so sure. And I have also contemplated looking into Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader but I'm not sure I could handle the embarrassment (not from the show but from the razzing I'd get here

).

I'm some insanly jelous of all of you, I'm the only one here who hasn't acutally appeared on a game show

ulysses5019 · #21 Post by **ulysses5019** » Wed Oct 17, 2007 10:52 pm

shows I have been on

Jokers Wild 1974
Break the Bank 1976
Hollywood Connection 1978
Krypton Factor 1981
Sale of the Century 1983
Jeopardy! 1991
Greed 1999
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire 2005

shows I have auditioned for

Rhyme or Reason (Bob Eubanks called but I chose BtB)
1 Versus 100 (they called and they put me on hold)
Crosswords (they called but I put them on hold)
Singing Bee (they called and told me not to call back)

shows I'd like to be on

Grand Slam (they did call me, but somebody finally told them that I didn't actually win anything on Greed)

There's other boring stuff like working on Monopoly and Tic Tac Dough, but frankly, it's boring.....Oh yes, I too was on the Tony Danza Show but I haven't made it to Shokus Radio yet, even though I have a face made for radio!

In this thread, perhaps, but you're not the only one on the Bored.

No, you're not, as I've already alluded to. Many of us are too discouraged even to post about not wanting to post in this thread.

Besides, you're 18. You've only just become eligible to get on Millionaire. Some of us have been futilely trying to storm that castle since you were 10.

I'm trying to remain optimistic. Oh well. My friends really enjoy the story about how I got chucked out of MGM Studios. I didn't enjoy it at all at the time but a year later it's sort of funny.

That is one of the more unusual stories of AP rejection we've had here.
