Has been a singer for events such as weddings and bar mitzvahs for over 30 years.
He feels almost like part of the families he sings for as they have invited him back for subsequent events.

Spoiler

Howard Johnson: Fe is Iron. S is Sulfur. Iron and sulfur is probably going to be, I think I'd gotta go with B. If you have a strong inkling I'd probably go with that.
Hey, you're a wedding singer and probably don't need money anyway.

I haven't watched all of the seasons of the show but I know that Emmitt Smith (football player) and Helio Castroneves (race car driver) have won. So I'd go with ATA on this one.

First off, Howard needs to do a better job of selling his answers. Giving his opinion and then saying, "If you have a better answer, go with it" isn't exactly confidence-building and forced Eddie to use another lifeline.

Second, why did the PAF keep saying "fluoride"? Did he think that "Fe" was an abbreviation? Too bad Eddie had to waste a second lifeline on this question.

Eddie mentioned that TR was a hunter, which could narrow it down a little. Unfortunately Eddie had to use up his lifelines. As for me, I'd be going for $100K with ATE, PAF and DD still available.

Eddie "I have never seen this show"

Neither have I. But I do know that Emmitt Smith (B) and Drew Lachey (C) have won. John O'Hurley also won, but I'm not sure about the other winners.

I got the $25K and $50K questions easily. I would've been in great position if it hadn't been for that damn $4,000 question.

Even though he's a veteran of the Hot Seat, Howard needs that "How to be an Expert" lesson from Ogi.

Eddie's appearance gets a brief mention, far down in this column.

Horwitz says he had a lot of fun doing the show but wished he would have met Meredith Vieira, who was off this week.

Awwww! Samantha let you sing (twice) and everything!



BTW, the URL refers to the lead item in the column: Willie Aames needs a date tonight. Attention, Philadelphia area BBs!

I haven't watched yet, but perhaps Eddie didn't spell like he should've, and his PAF thought he said "FeF2"?
That would definitely throw off even the most chemically savvy of us.



Three lifelines on this question is painful.
