My 15 Minutes of Shame

[zachhoran]

Debra from the Trivial Pursuit episode here was on Joker in 1990.

[geniusinmath]

bill can you upload that game show designated hitter I have never seen a episode before. :) and btw I like the buckeyes as well. plz don't get mad about me liking clemson too.

[pricefan87]

RIP Ken Ober of 1994 Perfect Match.

[starpopcorn2]

Are you on the show?

[retroman51]

billy baker is this guy?

[lowellriggsiam]

You're 15 minutes of shame? Things are always easier on the other side of the camera.

[pricefan87]

At 1:37, a sound effect on Designated Hitter game show when buzzing in came from The Joker's Wild 1990-1991 is when running out of time using a definition of a word.

[pbskids1999]

Curt Chaplin was the narrator for The People's Court and the Court Reporter.

[djlamar2]

this game show is coming back on. the new game show is called america plays.

[howierules86]

Interesting set of game shows here. For those wondering, here's when they aired:

Trivial Pursuit - Summer 1993 (Family Channel)

Designated Hitter - Early 1994 (ESPN)

Free 4 All - Summer 1994 (USA)

Perfect Match (Ober) - Fall 1994 (ESPN)

Debt (Lifetime) - August 16, 1996 (Lifetime)

[trivia202003]

Free 4 All was probably better than Quicksilver during the game show block.

[baconhead2008]

Nice to see a very young Mark Walberg.

[animfan1]

Who hosted "Designated Hitter" on ESPN?

[gshowguy]

According to EOTVGS 2, Curt Chaplin hosted it.

[animfan1]

I have been waiting 5 years since "Russian Roulette" to watch Mark Walberg again.

[gshowguy]

Speaking of "Perfect Match"...

Did those podiums have eggcrate displays?

[djHaQ]

Man I'd love to see Trivial Pursuit make a return.

[gshowguy]

Technically, it is making a return... in syndication, and called "Trivial Pursuit: America Plays".

[djHaQ]

Well... Mark L. Wahlberg will do in place of the great Wink Martindale.

[animfan1]

I've been waiting a minimum of 4 years but a maximum of 5 years to watch Mark Walberg again.

[animfan1]

Mark Walberg used to host a show called "Temptation Island" which was on the same network as "The Moment of Truth" which he is now hosting.

[animfan1]

I don't know if you remember this but Mark Walberg is hosting a new show on FOX called "The Moment of Truth" which is on Wednesday nights at 9:00 after "American Idol."

[lobstertexas]

moment of truth is the worst game show ever to exist

[animfan1]

I like "The Moment of Truth" so much I'm trying to save the show forever by recording it on the VCR.

[animfan1]

I have been waiting 5 years since "Russian Roulette" to watch Mark Walberg again in prime time TV.

[gshowguy]

I guess you didn't have (or didn't watch) ION in 2004. (He hosted a show on that network that year called "On the Cover", which was a flop)

[animfan1]

I did have ION in 2004 and I did watch it.

[animfan1]

On The Cover took me back to my 2nd year in High School and I was a student when that happened.

[animfan1]

That took me back to the time I was in High School when I was 16 years old.

[animfan1]

To be honest with you, On The Cover took me back to the end of my 1st year going into my 2nd year when I was in High School. On The Cover refers to the minimum number of years I had to wait to watch Mark Walberg again which is 4.

[animfan1]

I've got some more good news for you; "The Moment of Truth" is going to return July 29 @ 9:00 P.M.

[namk19]

wait a sec wasn't free 4 all mark walberg's hosting debut?

[animfan1]

That takes me back to Elementary School.

[animfan1]

I haven't watched Mark Walberg since I was in High School.

[namk19]

u think he still wears converse shoes?

[Booboo9921]

the average of the day on your episode of "debt" was $7,415 right?

[Wheeloffortunefan999]

i think so.

[Noraa972]

u read my mind.

[GrandMasterGalvatron]

Holy crap dude you have Free 4 All! I've been looking for clips of that show! Would you be willing to upload or send that whole episode?

[EveryOtherWeekProd]

how'd you get on so many game shows? i am 14 and don't recognize any of these so pardon me if it's all the same show.

[tvpirate05]

They were all different cable shows from the mid-90s.

1. Trivial Pursuit-1993 (Family Channel)

2. Designated Hitter-1994 (ESPN)

3. Perfect Match-1994 (ESPN)

4. Debt-1996 (Lifetime)

5. Free 4 All-1994 (USA)

Unlike the daytime and primetime shows, there's no limit on how many shows you could appear.

[gameshowguy2000]

Wait, Perfect Match was on ESPN? (And I thought the first ESPN game show was 2-Minute Drill with Kenny Mayne)

[tvpirate05]

I think ESPN's first game was something called "Boardwalk & Baseball's Super Bowl of Sports Trivia", with Chris Berman c. 1988 or so. It was a quiz bowl type of show that maybe lasted a year or so.

[mtiller2006]

Bill, incredible moments man! I enjoyed Trivial Pursuit and Debt, and I was surprised that Kurt Chaplin of The People's Court hosted something.

Gotta ask you something, Bill. I am the webmaster of a great game show website. Do you think we could do an interview someday?

[buckeyebillyb]

Anytime

There's lots of folks out there that have won a few shows.

[mtiller2006]

That's so true.

My game show website is linked on my profile page here at YouTube. If you have trouble getting to it, let me know.

[barber747]

What was the name of that show @ 4:33?

[gshowguy]

Not to be nitpicky, but I think his name is spelled "Curt", not "Kurt". (And I read in EOTVGS 2 that he was a DJ in NYC, but it may be wrong)

[jwgreek8606]

@mtiller2006 Mike, Curt Chaplin hosted both Designated Hitter and Grandstand. 

[jwgreek8606]

@mtiller2006 Designated Hitter by the way Mike, was created by Bill Carruthers of Press Your Luck fame.

[PokerJoker811]

My dad was on 4 game shows as well, Billy. He competed on Jeopardy, Win Ben Stein's Money, Russian Roulette, and Merv Griffin's Crosswords. One difference between him and you, though: You actually won one of them. My dad finished 2nd on all 4 of his shows. Props to you for winning.

[matthewmilad]

Lol wow, you've been on a lot of shows there eh?

[wheeloffortunefan]

What was that gameshow at 04:46?

[tvpirate05]

Free 4 All. It aired on USA in the mid-90s.

[animfan1]

Mark Walberg is going to host a new show that is going to premiere on FOX, what is the name of the new show?

[animfan1]

Who is the woman announcing "Debt?"

[Jnelson09Returns]

Julie Claire. Don't know much about her.

[Oddityworld]

Bill is it true that during each commercial break that a government employee stands behind you to make sure there is no cheating.

[buckeyebillyb]

No

Just the production assistants from the show

[the06bug]

Dang, I'd no IDEA Mark L. Walberg's gs career was that extensive!

[animfan1]

He's going to host a new show that's going to premiere on FOX.

[TVLubber]

This looks more like 8 1/2 minutes rather than 15 minutes. Where's the other 6 1/2 minutes of shame?

[SilentBob20]

I haven't seen Debt in such a long time.

I didn't know Mel Brooks was the host. LOL

Go Buckeyes!

[animfan1]

Debt was on Lifetime TV

[Wheeloffortunefan999]

i have a question bill, did your team win a prize for making it to the bonus round?

[buckeyebillyb]

yes

carpet / grill / door opener... about $1000

retail, of which we were W-2ed

[nihoward]

Can somebody on you tube download the following? Happy Days seasons6-8, Wheel of Fortune 1986-1996, the price is right 1979-1995, Jumble 1994, Every Second Counts 1985. This can expand your viewership, and provide more hits to your website.

[Wheeloffortunefan999]

i've never seen episodes of jumble or every second counts

[Wheeloffortunefan999]

unless i'm mistaken i think that stupid copyright filtering software is going to be launched on monday

[buckeyebillyb]

what will that mean to the site??

[Wheeloffortunefan999]

actually make that $133.33

[Wheeloffortunefan999]

$400 HA! THAT IS HARDLY A WIN!

[Wheeloffortunefan999]

of course assuming that was the show that u won on

[Wheeloffortunefan999]

i hate to say it, but i would hardly consider free 4 all a win

[Wheeloffortunefan999]

you gotta be kidding me, how the hell did u not know the producers?

[buckeyebillyb]

way before the play came back into popularity

[namk19]

how many game shows has ken ober hosted?

[Modor20]

3 or 4...

"Remote Control", "Perfect Match", "Make Me Laugh"...but I want to say there was another.

[namk19]

all I could remember was remote control

[CraigFoye80]

I always love my favorite game show of all time with Wink Martindale: "Debt".

[CraigFoye80]

Actually, the movie "High Anxiety" first premiered in movie theatres in 1977, not 1974.

[gshowguy]

Well, maybe it was MADE in 1974, CraigFoye80.

[jimousine]

lobstertexas, how were able to be on Lingo twice??? I thought that you could only appear only once on the show in which you were a contestant. Was it the tournament of champions or something?

Anyway, great vid Bill!

[lobstertexas]

well, it's ok.. I was on Lingo twice, about a year apart, BOTH TIMES Chuck Woolery hit on my partner and yet had no clue who we were :p

[lobstertexas]

so did wink remember you from trivial pursuit when you saw him on the set of debt? :D

[buckeyebillyb]

No he didn't. I was disappointed. He's done over 30 shows for 40 years.

[simpsonsfan89]

wow, it's has been a long time since i've seen this show.

[PatrickRox80]

That Trivial Pursuit joke was the lamest one I've heard in a while.

[TVLubber]

This looks more like 8 1/2 minutes rather than 15 minutes.

[TVLubber]

I haven't seen clips of Free 4 All in years.
