Game Producer
« on: October 24, 2014, 12:50:54 PM »
Perhaps you've noted the credit "Game Producer - Chris Donnan" in the end credits. Do we know exactly what he does as "Game Producer"? I don't believe this was ever a credited role during the Barker years. Does he select which games are played? Does he keep tabs on how often each game is played? Does he come up with the fake prices? Does he choose the grocery items or small prizes? Is he in charge of wheeling the props out onto the stage?

Commence wild speculation!

I believe MSTieScott could answer this question the best.

Here is one picture of Chris, informing contestants about the wheel:

Kyle, he's been speculated on my end for a quite a few months now; I think he's the one who set ups the games, a sentiment shared by my fellow mod therealcu2010. This, unfortunately, is no hint, or misdirection, just that your thoughts aren't alone.  Wish I had a connect, or recalled his name for the Youtube Social Media special to ask Sandler about, for more information about the description and tasks of this job. 

If he's setting up games, that's a heck of a fun job, I think, ditto lineup making, frequencies, fakes, prize selection (which I doubt-that's a prize coordinator's job), etc. are some of the most fun backstage jobs, personally.

But I might instead say that since Chris started after I left, and since there was no Game Producer title while I was at the show, I can't be sure which job duties he's taken on.

It isn't my place to divulge the exact responsibilities of anybody on the staff. Sorry.
