TONY: You're right again... (applause)And Sam now has 70 bucks.  (ding)(Fame Game sound)Time now for our final Fame Game. Whoever answers this Who Am I? question right will have chance to earn as much as the $25 money card. Pay attention to this clue. Born in November 9, 1933, I started out as a singer in Special Services after college (University of Pennsylvania), working on Armed Forces Radio during the Korean War. After the service, I worked for a short time at General Electric and then replaced Eddie Fisher as the staff vocalist at Grossingers in the Catskill Mountains and later did comedy working with Sid Caesar as his straight man for several years (which included a three-year stint with Caesar in Las Vegas). My first appearance as a TV host came in Canada with the popular game show Fractured Phrases. Afterwards, I presided over several other game shows, including Eye Bet and The Money Makers (aka Bingo at Home), the latter also airing on syndicated television in some US markets for 13 weeks in 1969. Although I'm an American by birth, me and my family emigrated to Canada in the early 1970's and moved back to the U.S. in the late 1970's when I was hired to host Card Sharks. Then in 1983, I was the host of both NBC and syndicated (1985) programs $ale of the Century. I still hold citizenship in both countries. Who am I?*You have 24 hours to PM your buzz-code only. |
