(Actually it has more to do with the show being hilarious than just simply having Tina Fey... but having her sure helps it!)
Isn't that show her baby? Writer, creator etc?

For our next pick, in the category of Game Shows...
We want... BIG BUCKS!!... NO WHAMMIES!!
That's right, it's... Press Your Luck!
Quote:
Press Your Luck was an American television daytime game show that ran weekdays on CBS from September 19, 1983 to September 26, 1986, where contestants collected "spins" by answering trivia questions, and then used the spins on an 18-space game board full of cash and prizes. The person who amassed the most in cash and prizes at the end of the game won. Peter Tomarken was the show's host, and Rod Roddy was the announcer (although John Harlan and Charlie O'Donnell filled in).
The show was memorable for the "Whammy," a red cartoon creature wearing a cape. The Whammy's spaces on the game board took away the contestant's money, accompanied by an animation that would show the Whammy taking the loot—but frequently being chased away, blown up, or otherwise humiliated in the process. The animated Whammies were created and animated by Savage Steve Holland and Bill Kopp, and voiced by creator/executive producer Bill Carruthers. Throughout the show's run, approximately 80 different animations were used, and the Whammy became popular enough that at the end of many episodes, Tomarken would read a "Whammy poem", sent in by a home viewer. "Whammy poems" would also appear after the first round of the Big Board or after the second question round before going to commercial on occasion.
Edit: Switched out the video. Didn't realize the first one I used was all talking.
I don't think I had ever actually heard of that show. I had heard people say, "no whammies," but never had any clue what it was from...I learned something today.
Go ahead and AK me guys if I'm up next (I think I am), I'll have my pick up sometime today. Battling a cold/flu and not feeling up to up at the moment. I'll try and have something up later today!

I don't think you can AK Barnes until 15 hours after Ro AK'ed himself.

Hey peeps, I haven't even looked at this thread since Monday.
I hope everyone can be the draft whip. Just use Post #1 in the thread and you can see who is coming up next, and anyone can see when the 15 hours are up.
Having said that, yeah, Barnes has until 9:59pm tonight (15 hours after Ro's self AK)
Everyone barrage him with PMs!!!

Just spent the last two hours watching the first 5 episodes of Spaced, which was Sadora's 4th round pick in the world category. Loving it, great stuff! If you're a fan of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost it's a must see.
