Neville on Merv Griffin's Crosswords - Part 3 of 3

[LanIost]

Neville, I've never seen this show but... that was the most intense thing I've seen in a long time. Great, great stuff.

How was the trip? ... christ.

[nlyons162]

@LanIost Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

The trip was an amazing spring break... a lot of fun.

[rockstarrist]

How d hell is "do a hair raising job"=Tease .. that an american slang?

[nlyons162]

@rockstarrist No, it's sort of a lateral thinking clue that you sometimes see in crossword puzzles. If you tease your hair, you give it a lot more body, thus "raising" it.

[mgoldberg333]

Wicked job buddy.

Makes sense that this show is off the air. It is based more on luck than skill. If you get the last question right, you could end up the finalist.

[megamanj2004X]

That was a dramatic bonus round, there!

[bosneo1]

freaking awesome man!!!:)

[Deathify]

So awesome man! Very exciting to watch... I was on the edge of my seat when you answered rail! Man, that must of been a real thrilling experience!

[punkmonkey123]

Only 3,450? That's pretty sucky for a game show. D:

[Nevetsboy2]

My mom would soooo love to be on that show.

[drseafrog]

You have the same haircut as you did when you were on Jeopardy! :P

Seriously, great job, man. I would definitely never be able to do that! Those clues were HARD!

[ThirdEyeAbility]

this guy was on Jeopardy also? wow. impressive.

[mgdoran123]

The Labyrinth one was kind of funny.

[DaRkNaRutO2653]

aww dude he bet al your money..but grats sucks u didnt get other trips

[metaguru]

awesome show great job neville!

[johnissoevil]

This show is something GSN should go for if they want recent fare.

[shennille9utube]

congrats Neville.. u rock!

[PistoltheGreat]

When they asked "surrounded by beaches" I would say "me" if I was on that show.

[kitarofan87]

How can I get on the show?

[PTH4Fun]

Uh, It's on a hiatus now, kitarofan87.

[YoSniper]

Something I don't understand is why the grand prize sometimes includes an extra $5000, sometimes $2000, and sometimes just a trip.

[nlyons162]

It depends on when the episode was taped - the prizes were changed mid-season.

[Blink182plus44equ226]

Bitches don't know how to spell labyrinth

[PTH4Fun]

Is that the first taped and air episode?

[nlyons162]

This is the 27th episode taped, but the first one aired.

[PTH4Fun]

Thanks for your supporting then. But where's the first ever taped show?

[PTH4Fun]

Anybody noticed about the First taped episodes?

[PTH4Fun]

Uh, nlyons162... Were There any one of the first taped episodes of MGC where it had an alternate crossword extra rules?

[nlyons162]

I'm not sure I understand your question... This is the only episode I have on tape, though.

[nlyons162]

I have no idea. As an average viewer, I have no way of knowing episode numbers other my own. Sorry.

[piguy314159]

FYI... the correct spelling is "labyrinth"

[therealnick103]

"nlyons162", How'd you get your hands on the episode anyway? Do they give copies to all those that appeared?

[nlyons162]

Well, this is the episode I appeared on! You're looking at a copy I made off my VCR when the program originally aired. In general, game shows do not give copies of shows to the contestants, and this was no exception. However, a kind soul who had a copy on DVD because it was sent to him to review the program was nice enough to send me another copy - it's for 'screening purposes only' according to the text on the screen the whole time.

[therealnick103]

So, I probably wouldn't be as lucky to put the episode on YouTube if I appear on a game show sometime soon?

[nlyons162]

I wouldn't say that at all! They DO tell when your episode will air. So, they told me that mine would air Sept 11, 2007. It was my responsibility to record it, though, if I wanted a copy. After you record it on VHS or DVD, it's just like transferring any such video to YouTube.

[therealnick103]

Oh, yes. Alright.

I'll worry about that whole uploading process if and when it happens to me.

[PTH4Fun]

Hey, do they have any unaired episodes of Merv Griffin's Crosswords?

[nlyons162]

I wouldn't be the one to ask - maybe someone else knows?

[PTH4Fun]

Anybody Know the first taped episodes of MGC?

[MGHSHour2]

5 Lettwer Word

Jason from the careb ears movie might ask santa for one of these to listen to music on

[caravaggio]

How the !@!$? did you get that at the last second? Wow! Way to go!

[nlyons162]

It just came to me while going through some of the other answers, and when I got back to it, I went for it! :)

[TomHudd707]

woah they had isle in both this and when u were on jepordy! lolz

[sdbills2]

I can't believe some of those answers you got! Man, you need to go after the bigger prize, you're a sharp kid. Random thought, but I thought it was funny: Wasn't "isle" an answer in both your jeopardy AND your crosswords appearances?

[CANDYLIPS44]

I bet you brought Pam to antigua and hit that right?!?!?!?!

[animfan1]

Where is WFMZ-TV located?

[nlyons162]

WFMZ-TV is an independent network in Allentown, Pennsylvania.

[huggyface]

What time does WFMZ carry the show? I get it on WTVJ (NBC-6) in S. FL. at 4pm weekdays.

[nlyons162]

WFMZ carries a double run at 4:00 and 4:30 each weekday. I also get the show on KYW, the CBS affiliate out of Philadelphia but it airs only one episode a day at 9:30.

[huggyface]

You're fortunate to get a double-take of the show! Me, I only get it one-a-day, but I do get a double of "Temptation"...which is a LAME remake of the 80's classic "Sale of the Century." (I loved the classic show, but the new one just stinks)

[MrJeff3rs0n]

Richard betting all of Neville's money......

[nlyons162]

I know! What a jerk!

[huggyface]

But nonetheless you won...congrats! ;-)

[Boy3cool]

DAMN!!!! Neville you had less than  a second left. GOOD ON YAH!

[nlyons162]

Thank you!

[huggyface]

So did you take your trip to Antigua yet? I have a friend here in Miami that wants to check it out...any pointers?

[nlyons162]

No, I'm heading out in April - I'll get back to you! :)

[huggyface]

Funny, that's when my boy is planning on going there! Maybe you'll see him? Did you get your cash yet?

[nlyons162]

Yes - the check came last week!

[huggyface]

But you won it on the 9/10 premiere eppie...I've not been on a game show, but shoot is is customary for them to take so dang long to get ya the dough? ;-)

[nlyons162]

:) They often taken up to 4 months after the sir date.

[wheeloffortunefan]

And JUST in time! You managed to prevail exactly as time ran out!
