Today's WWTBAM Rerun
Today's episode originally aired on 1/28/08. It seems like an odd choice to start the week, since the first contestant is a carryover in the middle of his stack of questions. I guess the show no longer cares about maintaining continuity.
Edit:
I may be wrong about the first contestant being a carryover. Maybe I just tuned in late. The transcripts indicate otherwise. Mea culpa.

This thread makes me very happy. While caught up in 27 different things at once, including the Monty Python marathon on BBCA, I missed Millionaire. Now I don't have to care.
Did you get that, Marley? That's BBC America, presumably to be found on your local cable lineup. They've already had the Spam and Lumberjack episodes, along with several other gems I had forgotten. Hours and hours of good stuff remains.

Yes, that was Jack Rotoni, in the episode that first aired on 1/28/08, as TheConfessor said.Kazoo65 wrote:I don't know which re-run you saw, but I saw the one with the optometrist from Staten Island who needed to ATA on what phrase describes someone who's "navel-gazing". This was the $1K question, I think.
Are the rest of this week's shows reruns, too? [/quote]
That's usually how they do things--in repeats for a whole week. Somebody will probably be able to confirm this tomorrow.

I can't confirm the original air date, but Jack Rotoni started the broadcast in Los Angeles with the $100 question. --BobTheConfessor wrote:Today's episode originally aired on 1/28/08.

If they follow the same schedule they have the last 2 seasons, the show will be in reruns for 2 weeks, followed by 3 weeks of new shows, which will end the season.earendel wrote:Maybe several, depending upon how long the show is in reruns.kayrharris wrote:Does this mean I get a week off?
Please say yes.

Man, you guys need to visit my site at least once in a while. It's wwtbam.biz for the uninitiated.
Two weeks of repeats then three weeks of new shows to close out the season, as luv2jog deduced. BBTranscriptTeam, enjoy your well-earned break.
There's also going to be a guest host the last week of the season, just like last year with Tim Vincent. I know who it is, but I haven't identified the name yet on my site. I will towards the end of the repeat episodes.
One hint - it's not someone that has guest hosted before. Another hint - it's someone you're more likely to have heard of than Tim Vincent.

Spoiler
Al Roker - he's the only other person I can think of who has guest hosted (excluding Billy Bush).

They should get old, retired, game show hosts to guest host.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

I was thinking of Rosie, too. She may has too many personality negatives for TPTB to choose her as a guest host now, but I remember what huge fan she was of the show, back in the good old days. A strange concept, huh, to have contestants and hosts who are fans of the game.takinover wrote:My guess is, <gulp> Rosie O'Donnell.
And, IIRC, all of the guests hosts have been men, so far. TPTB ought to be getting concerned about that gender balance thing.
