Contestants Who Share Names With Celebrities

[jlgarfield]

Here's a fun Q: How many contestants in the half-century of TPiR had the same name(s) as celebrities? I have never seen it before, but there is a good chance it has. XD

There was an Erik Estrada on TPIR once several years ago. Can't remember the exact season.

There was an Erik Estrada on TPIR once several years ago. Can't remember the exact season.

That was the all-Plinko show early on in Season 42, #6435K, which aired on September 27, 2013 (intended for the following Friday).

Also, I do remember there was a contestant named Elizabeth Taylor on January 2, 1997.  She played Squeeze Play.

A contestant named Winston Churchill was called down on the Nighttime show in the mid-80s. Tom Kennedy said "It is an honor to have you here!"

There was also a contestant named Robert Barker.

Not exactly a celebrity, but late in Season 31, there was a contestant named Holly Wood.
