Tom Bergeron is remarkably calm and nice given the nightmare guests he had to deal with one April Fool's Day. I like to think I would know I was being pranked, but I'm actually pretty gullible and would easily fall for this. (I'm not sure why Arthur Fonzarelli is in on the prank, though.)
It's not so much the game or the competitive spirit involved, it's the candid answers that make televised game shows so worthwhile to watch--especially when those answers hit a little too close to DUMB. Word to the Wise: If you make a habit of stealing lamps from hotel rooms, do yourself a favor and don't mention it on national TV! (Oh, and I heart Paul Lynde!)
The clock is ticking, there are millions of viewers watching at home, and the pressure's on. So it completely baffles me how game show contestants feel comfortable enough to blurt out the first idiotic thing that comes to mind while on television-- as if they won't have to live this moment down for the rest of their lives! And no, a delicatessen is not a drug store.
