Ep. 31 The History of Game Shows

from Fascinating Nouns

Adam Nedeff (Pronounced Knee-Deaf) has an almost encyclopedic knowledge of game shows. As am matter of fact, he has written a 4 volume set entitled "This Day in Game Show History" Volumes 1-4. He also wrote the book "Quizmaster" which is about Superstar Game Show Host Bill Cullen. He has appeared as a contestant on several game shows, Trivial Pursuit: America Plays, Catch-21, and Who's Still Standing, as well as worked on The Price is Right and Wheel of Fortune. We talk about the guy who cracked the random code on Press Your Luck, the silliness of the phrase "Making Whoopie", and the Mythological Hero A Chi Less.
