Title: Contestants Who Share Names With Celebrities
Post by: jlgarfield on September 02, 2023, 01:07:58 AM

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.

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!"

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