In Re the Tuesday game, "Michael Falk wins his first game".
I don't recall his name as one of the J! heavyweights, but I would put that teaser in third place behind:
1) The Muppets present a category, just one day after the first "Muppet Night Football" broadcast. (MNF was a hoot, and I'm glad I didn't jump right to the kickoff)
2) A contestant named "Lizard" who owns a 3 foot iguana is working on his dewlaps
3) the Michael Falk thing
I'm finding these old games (I've only seen one other) to be very frantic. Alex's delivery in this episode particularly feels phony. His clue reading cadence is much faster than modern shows to my ears. The contestants cadence seemed to vary, especially depending on their length of sentence. This may be confirmation bias for my suspicion that these shows are edited using that software (?) that speeds up speech without changing pitch. I think it is done by trimming dead air and pauses. Do any of our media or tech savvy know? Or is it just the evolution of the host and the tempo of the show?
