One of the funnniest answers I've ever seen, one that deserves to be in one of those "Game Shows Gone Bananas" retrospectives, came on a special TV-themed episode of Greed (airdate: 3/3/00).
As cut-and-pasted from the
Greed: The Series Fan Page, it went something like this:
Dennis [contestant] - for $25,000: Which show did NOT feature Chuck Woolery as a regular host?
Is it...Love Connection, Scrabble, Wheel of Fortune, or Singled Out?
Dennis says Wheel of Fortune, Darrell [team captain] accepts it, and they're absolutely WRONG!! Of COURSE it was Singled Out!I love this moment because: 1) the question,
about Chuck Woolery, 2) was read
by Chuck Woolery, 3) to a contestant who prefaced his answer by saying he was a big
fan of Chuck Woolery and had followed his career, and 4) because the answer was incorrect, the team was eliminated; since this was the first question, three of the team members didn't even have a chance to play (as per the rules of Greed).
