Four questions:
First, in the nonsense that happened around the turn of season 36 or 37 when the powers-that-were were very keen to disassociate themselves from the good ol' Price, I seem to recall something about the words "A Mark Goodson Production" being cut off the processing numbers worn by those outside in line. I want to say there was a story reported here about pages walking the line and literally cutting the words off the bottom of the numbers that were already given out one day during audience processing. Is this a figment of my imagination, or did that really happen?
Second, I also seem to recall it being said years ago that the CBS affiliate in St. Louis, MO, KMOV, was airing a day behind the rest of the network, something that I recall reading was going on for years until they eventually caught up and starting airing the same day's episode as everyone else. Does anyone know more about this and how long it lasted, and why this was even a thing? In the years before Innertube, did we have nobody around here who could have easily helped us out for pre-emptions if they were airing a day behind?
Third, what was the true story behind the shtick of Rod billing himself as "the official ambassador of Chaing Mai"? His profile on the show's website even stated this. I find it highly unlikely that some radio announcer moved to TV was carrying out official ambassadorial duties for a single city in a foreign country. It's the use of the word official that's always struck me strange with this. Anybody know more?
Fourth, Rod's CBS.com profile also used to say he hosted something called "the live $25,000 Game Show" at the Roy Clark Theater in Branson, MO. I've never seen any details on what this show was, which I am assuming was along the lines of the various game show stage show adaptations that Fremantle, Bob Eubanks and others have done with more recognition since. Anybody have any details?
