13 Game Show Heroes

By:

Game show producers bank on the audience’s connection with a contestant, and in these cases, they struck gold. Because, while curled up with a bowl of ice cream in the evening, or with a bowl of chicken noodle soup while home sick in the afternoon, we all like to picture ourselves up there on that stage, winning big and/or being adored by the masses. What else is there on this floating wet rock? Nothing!

Whether they won or lost, all it took was one solid game show appearance to win our hearts. And, because we got to watch the greats at work, we now know the recipes for game show heroism. You can either play the game at the highest possible level (or the lowest possible level), you can luck out with some completely unforeseen circumstance, or just be as funny and lovable as a professional comedian. Easy! Because hey, if these 13 game show heroes can get it done, then by golly so can we!
