[ Ding-Dong ]Time now for our final Fame Game. And we have a $25 Money Card for one of you to answer it. Listen to the following clues... I am the youngest of three brothers and was raised in the Old Brooklyn neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio. I had played the cornet and trumpet in the marching band of James Ford Rhodes High School from which I graduated in 1975. I continued on to college at Kent State University (KSU) and was a part of Delta Tau Delta Fraternity. I was expelled twice for poor academic performance and left KSU after three years. Upon leaving the university, I had enlisted into the United States Marine Corps Reserve in 1980 and served for six years as a field radio operator in the 25th Marine Regiment in Ohio. I moved to Las Vegas for a few months in 1983 and for a short time worked as a bank teller and a waiter at Denny's. My early stand-up career led to supporting roles on television shows during which I developed the character of a hapless middle-class bachelor. In 1993, I had a small role in the film Coneheads as a taxi passenger. In 1994, I co-starred with John Caponera in The Good Life, a short-lived sitcom on NBC. After the show was cancelled, Bruce Helford, a writer on the show, hired me as a consultant for the television show Someone Like Me. After a stint on Someone Like Me, Helford and I developed and produced the storyline for my self-titled show. The sitcom revolved around a fictionalized version of me, as I took on the stresses of life and work with his group of childhood friends. The show premiered on September 13, 1995, on ABC. I began hosting the American version of the improvisational comedy show Whose Line Is It Anyway? in 1998. I would announce the improv cast, direct the games, and usually involve himself in the final game of the episode. The show ran for a total of 220 episodes until cancellation in 2006. I was contacted by CBS about replacing Bob Barker who had earlier announced his own retirement as host of The Price Is Right. After initially turning down the offer, I announced on Late Show with David Letterman that I would succeed Barker as host of the program beginning in the fall of 2007. My first episode of The Price Is Right was taped on August 15, 2007, and my shows began airing on October 15, 2007. In response to replacing Barker as host of the game show, I stated, "You can't replace Bob Barker. I don't compare myself to anybody... It's only about what you're doing and supposed to do, and I feel like I'm supposed to be doing this." When I began hosting, the set, theme music, and show logo were updated. I has retained the application of Barker's closing comment about spaying and neutering pets. In 2022, I celebrated my fifteenth anniversary as host of the show.*You have 24 hours to PM your buzz-code only. |
