I think I posted this transcript directly to the Main Forum, rather than to the Transcript Forum. That's what I get for rushing.

I think you are right about that. I've done this myself as well as posted under my own handle. I think an admin can move it back and forth.

Speaking of moving, is your move all done? Hope it was a smooth one.

If he wins the million, he'll let Meredith cut his hair live on TV. His girlfriend (in the audience) looks thrilled to hear it.

Meredith asked him to make that deal and (aside from the improbability of ever having to pay off) I was wondering what would Randy get out of that deal. He's already been cast for the show, Meredith; you're not going to feed him an answer or anything, are you?

Question 4 - Cameo Roles

What legendary performer played pianist Chandell and his evil twin harry on the 1960s TV series "Batman"?

A: Elton John B: Jerry Lee Lewis

I watched Batman, but I don't remember Liberace being one of the villains. Small wonder, since he was only on for two episodes.

I had to laugh at this question. My husband works until late at night and one of the shows he'll turn on before going to sleep is the old Batman. I always make fun of him (usually by pointing out I used to watch it, but outgrew it like 40 years ago). Usually I sleep through it all, but one episode I remember seeing recently through half closed eyes was one with Liberace - so I had to tell the hubby today that maybe his juvenile latenight viewing was good for something , especially since I'm sure I wouldn't have remembered that otherwise since it was so long ago.

So now it appears that TPTB have decided not to show an unrandomized stack.

Sounds like Randy is aware of the "2nd strong response" phenomenon.
