Alex Davis from BuzzerBlog, the Game Show Blog said in another game show forum I read says Michael Davies told him, "Brace yourself for the most exciting evolution of the format since Super Millionaire. All unique to the US at this point – we have not imported any of the international modifications."

Excuse me, Frogman lives in Texas, he's from back east somewhere. Now that's foreign. :wink:

Me, too, except I'm going to have to do it on Jeopardy!

Oh. You meant on Millionaire. Okay, I'm fine with having somebody win $1,000,000 there, too.

Makes me wonder what the "international modifications" are.

Absent?

There's this strange thing some people do at night. It's called "sleeping".

:P

Bring back some souvenir confetti for us, Jay!

I wonder if they've kept Norris on the payroll, ready to push that button? :P

Hey, I grew up in Yankee Country (BTW the rural parts of NY State are a lot closer to Deliverance then most people are aware of) and I lived in Switzerland for 8 years - doesn't that make me an honorary furner?

After you win the million, would you please try and find out when they are taping Halloween week.

So, does that mean you got a happy card and/or call? Or I am reading something in the above sentence that is not really there?

Sorry no card yet, (and if I had one it would not be a secret) as is par for the course on this bored, I am unrealistically optimistic, and I would sure hate to turn them down because of scheduling conflict. And since I am "all in" with the Halloween week I could keep my schedule open if I knew when it was.

I figured you would not keep it a secret, but it still made me ask. Btw, I did not respond when you gave your report, but from what I read I am thinking you have a most excellent chance fo the happy card. And with it being a "theme" I would assume most good cards for that would get called.
