The late Ray Combs did the exact same thing on _Family Feud_ in Fast Money whenever the first player reached or surpassed the requisite 200 points. He'd trick the second contestant into thinking their teammate only scored 20 points in the five questions and then asked crazy questions to sell the joke.
No one had done this before and no one's done it since. Name Game has one those great game show bonus rounds like Dick Clark's Pyramid or Password of the 70's and 80"s.
Absolutely incredible to see that happen. 1st time in CNG history with a perfect score for just 1 contestant to get. And this is shades of Ray Combs back on Family Feud in the early 90's when he jokingly tells the player he/she got only 8 points & tells them after the time's up, won the money when the player got over 200+ points in the 1st half alone. Craig did it well right there. "Uhh, your partner got 0! jk he got em' all!" lol
you can back in the Richard Dawson/Ray Combs era, but this era, you are right. If you seen a few episodes from the 70's-90's, it's happened a few times.
It would've been funnier if they actually made him start the whole round over and tell the celebrities to play dumb so the time could run out while they were still stuck on the first clue. :P
If you noticed that Kyle and Ray also appeared on different game shows including Price Is Right (Barker), South of Wilshire and Minute to Win It (GSN version)
some celebrities completely suck at this game (yeah stacey dash i'm looking at you) but ross matthews is BOSS! lol i love when the celebs are not only good, but just as stoked to win as the contestants....
+highdesertsukari The that makes you a clodpoll...oh forbid someone has an opposing viewpoint these days and go against the liberal narrative..the whoa is me crowd..grow up.....life must really suck to hold on to all that anger over nothing...I am sure she will lose sleep over some random nobody calling here a name..dolt...I am sure you needed spell check to spell imbecile correctly..
+Str8Jaket3d Sounds like it's you who has the anger issues here, buddy boy. It's okay, no one is asking you to take that Stacey Dash poster off your bedroom wall. Oh, and as far as spell check goes, the saying is "Woe is me."
just leave the last one up - so he thinks it will be a slam dunk - and have the celebs play really dumb . . . (you know - - Stacey Dash kinda dumb) and run out the clock.
Beautiful game show moment. Next time that happens, mess with the second contestant even more: start with 0, play it through, and have the celebrities act confused and give wrong answers.
that was the funnest when I've ever seen. also like Ross Martin. Hes niw on the day time celebrities show. Don't remember the name of the show. I quit watching it until he came on their. Think you save the show.
I absolutely loved this show, and I’m not a game show kind of guy. It would’ve been great if it had made it into syndication. No other game show has really done it for me.
This show deserves a syndication run. Cancelled way before its time...probably because no one had sob stories and the gameplay wasn't dragged out over an hour
Yes, I absolutely loved this show, and I’m not a game show kind of guy. It would’ve been great if it had made it into syndication. No other game show has really done it for me.
Woulda been fun to say that he got all but one . . . and have the celebs purposely say anything but the correct answer. Then break the real news after he thought he lost.
Technically The judges should have never gave the contestant credit for number 8 when Cat Deely said Jar Jar Brinks when it is actually Jar Jar Binks but they did.
+henry farrell To be fair the judges were rightly lenient there, similar to Pyramid back in the day, the key essence of the name was close enough so it's fine.
+Sam Hodkin The judges were lenient they usually do not give you credit for that kind of mistake on that game show but they did and I was surprised that Craig did not hear her say that because he usually catches it.
+henry farrell I've seen this episode on TV a couple of times, and I've watched this clip on RU-vid several times. I didn't hear Cat say "Jar Jar Brinks" myself until you pointed it out. All in all, most likely, the boys would have won anyway since the second guy would have most likely finished up the round and got the rest of the clues.
Do they use photos anymore? I probably wouldn't have known Jar Jar Brinks if it didn't appear on the screen. Of course I wouldn't have been able to describe it anyway.
They get given 20k by the show, but then the tax man comes in later when they file. How much you're taxed depends on your income and the state you live in. If you don't pay you may end up going to jail. So you must not spend it all and allow that some maybe paid months later. It might be 10% to tax man, but if the 20k pushes you into a higher income bracket, that could end up being much more. So between 2k and 5k in taxes is a good idea. (don't forget you gonna pay around $500 of the winnings to have a tax accountant help you) If you were to win 1 million on like Survivor show, you will be pay OVER HALF to the tax man. $450k is what they end up having for themselves. If you don't do your taxes right, you can go to prison, like the first winner of Survivor did.
One guy won $10k on a game show and found out he would have to give $5k to his ex-wife and then pay taxes on his $5k, so he only would get around $3.5k. He decided it was not worth it, and didn't want his ex to get any, so he declined the prize altogether. Many people end up declining prizes on shows because of this kind of thing. You remember when Oprah gave "free" cars to the audience? Not free. Each person had to pay around $7k in tax to have the car. Many could not afford it, declined the car and got nothing. That was a big con. She didn't give people free cars, she gave them tax nightmares. Only people with money benefited.
+Chillimonz I remember the whole Oprah "free car " debacle.. All's anyone hears is free and then realize it really isn't. I still don't know why she didn't pay the taxes on the cars..it's not like she couldn't afford it.
John Johnson But to get the car you need $7k to pay the taxes on it, then you can sell it. You cannot get the car without $7k first... not everyone in the audience has that or a way to get that. (It's a free show to go to, working class people go to that show). That's the problem with what Oprah did. That's the problem with all these shows... you need several thousand dollars to get the prizes... many people on the Price is Right do not claim their prizes because they cannot afford to get them, especially cars. The only prize you want on these shows is cash, then you are okay and take the taxes out of that.
