who was hysterical But I stayed on to be a team player But by the time I got home I felt like a sponge that had been wrung He had a few other problems that week "I got on a plane that had engine failure and they had to abort the he said This guy should stay in bed for a while no? when I was a kid in the he said used to dream about just being in the audience of the Johnny Carson show Now been

clues and the winnings are guaranteed But even has changed since the days when Fleming presided over it Although it ranks second among all syndicated shows (right behind of is not the show it once was he said asked me to do the show a couple of years ago but when I asked the parameters they wanted to make it easier" Fleming said in a phone interview wanted to update it and updating in Hollywood means more glitz And they wanted me to move back to Los Angeles and LA is not one of my favorite cities that seen the show glad I do it not the way the old was a very fine show but when we had the game we were on the network (NBC) Now it's in syndication we had it all three players won whatever they won Now only one winner a little disappointed in that because throughout the game telling you that you have $1000 you have $2000 you have $4000 But you really have that the end of the game they say that only the top money winner will receive any money so the guy who comes out in second place with say $3995 he gets a supply of dog And not the only difference Fleming detects under host Alex Trebek questions are fairly he said understand Alex has to read the entire answer before you can buzz
