Well we have a famous breakfast club member, any famous contestants? Or contestants before they were famous?

Depending on your interpretation on famous, Brian Kendrick, a pro wrestler currently with TNA and formerly with WWE, was a contestant this season.
Signatures are overrated.

Not sure how I forgot this one...on October 19, 1993, there was a contestant named General Mills.

(Still not as good as Archelouse. :))

Douglas "Ox" Baker was a contestant on February 12, 1981. If you can find it (or just Act 2), it shall be well worth your time.
The above is my opinion and mine alone.

To answer your questions: yes, I am a guy and yes, I have a face. (I also have the occasional spurt of weirdness.)

Linda Cardellini (Freaks and Greeks, ER, Scooby-Doo) appeared on the show in '93.

We probably all remember Dr. Bummer from Episode #4253K.   :lol:

The most unusual I can remember is a tie between women named Cola (I think 1999ish) and Chandelier (I think 2002).

I call recall a couple interesting names I've heard on the show.
There are two shows from late 2001 there was a girl who was one of the first four contestants at the beginning of the show and Burton Richardson (filling in for Rod) called her name which was Xochitl and Bob struggled like crazy trying to get her name right.

There's another show where a woman named Trisha Bush is called to come on down and Bob goes "Your daddy is doing a fine job in the White House".

And there's a show from early 2002, a man is called to contestants row and his name was James Brown.
"Say whatever you want to about me, my artwork, etc, I don't really care.
If you don't want me or even like me, then I'm DAMN sure am not gonna let myself want OR
like YOU !"

^ That's my message to all you haters and people who are negative when it comes to me.

I have see the clip of Gay on the price is right-
My avatar has the woman named porn. Can anyone recall some interesting names of contestants on the show?

Porn is a quite common element in Thai names; I think it's mostly used on females, but can be put on males. (I'm on another board dedicated to first names; I've learned a lot)

Bizarre: Haywardetta.

Waaait...the only thing the board talks about is different first names?  Sounds more like an educational trip around the universe to me...

Oh God no. It was built on this. We snark at bad names, discuss parenting, and all sorts of personal issues and current events.

I remember seeing a man in the late '90s named Enough. I think he was the youngest of 18 children, and his parents decided they had had enough. There was also a female contestant named John, and a man named J (like Jay, but just the letter).

And while we're on names, I may have asked it before, but if I haven't, to the best of anyone's knowledge, was there ever a show to date where the first four people called down actually were named Andrew, Claire, Brian, and Allison (and/or John), for an Actual First Four Breakfast Club situation?  (and if not, what was the closest to this scenario anyone can remember?).

There once was a contestant named Robert Barker. And we had another named Andrew Carey recently.
