@nextbarker Yes. Watch a promo for this show that WhatsAYak uploaded and you'll find one.

Starting at 0:53 that sound effect is the same as the 3-second think music for the High-Five Challenge.

@gshowguy: I think he would've gotten the job had the show been based in L.A. But, since the show's based in Atlantic City (probably because it was cheaper to produce it there), they had to get an East Coast announcer.

@gamshwfan he was going to host 3rd Degree but he got screwed out of the job

Peter Marshall, as I said in my review for All Star Blitz, seems to be typecasted as far as game shows are concerned. Always getting gigs on celebrity based shows; he interacts with them well but on Yahtzee he goes a little too far and doesn't attempt to claim chemistry the had with people like Rose Marie and Paul Lynde.

This bonus round seems like two much luck and not enough skill with the way the questions go and Peter Marshall looking like he was learning the rules himself & maing some up.

Yes.

I think I can follow this game, but the presentation is less than clear. And I recall that learning the board version of Yahtzee took me awhile too.

There is too much going on in the show, coupled with JoAnne Worley who is so obnoxious. Peter Marshall was just trying to get through the first show I think as he goes on and the format gets simplified then he'd be more at ease.

[gshowguy]

And I think they needed a better announcer, too... Johnny Gilbert was the first thing that came to mind.

Anyone ever hit the $100,000?
