5 Point Bonus: Why did I use this particular Merry Man to host today's game?

On January 31, 2001, Ace made one of his typical smartass comments that he took note of the contestant sitting in Seat 9, who was brightly lit up and visible (something that somehow got "fixed" when the shows went to reruns on GSN), over Regis' shoulder all night licking his ear. That contestant, of course, was me... and the ear licking story stuck with me for a long time.... though apparently it has gone by the wayside since nobody who played the game was able to make the connection that it had been the anniversary of my WWTBAM airdate. One person did know, but though she intended to play this game, apparently got distracted, forgot, or maybe both....
