The Jeopardy contestant search exam

That video was awesome. LOL at spin #22 mysteriously disappearing.

This must've been similar to Slumdog Millionaire. After about 5 spins, producers backstage must've been like "oh shit." :lmao:

He kept landing on the same two squares over and over :rofl:


RIP Michael Larson. Hope you enjoyed those cigarettes.
 
Yes! I meant to mention how he was clapping even before anyone could focus to see what he landed on.

lolololkll

yeah I read the article on Wikipedia last night and it mentioned one the tells he was cheating was that he celebrated before he could see what he got

how did they not notice that he kept going for the same two boxes?

better yet, what fool designed a system where the whammies wouldn't land on certain spots?

he did miss the spots a few times but got lucky and survived
 
nice play :up: guy deserves credit. Maybe he could've played it a little smoother. (but you only get one shot)

But beating the slimey network at their own game :bowdown:

getting on to begin with is hard I'm sure. I wonder if he had any trick for that.

Larson arrived in Hollywood from Lebanon, Ohio for an audition on Press Your Luck, having virtually no money to his name and using most of what he had to make the trip. In his tryout interview, he described himself as unemployed, and an ice cream truck driver during the summer season. The program's executive producer Bill Carruthers and contestant supervisor Bobby Edwards discussed whether to have him on the show after his tryout interview; Edwards was suspicious of Larson and his reasons for trying out, but Carruthers was not. The final decision was to let Larson on the show, so Michael was booked for the show and later chosen for the fifth taping of the day, intended as a Friday episode.[1]

sweet Matty :clap:

Monkey, it's a tough concern he had I'm sure. The bigger the amount the more likely they would try to stiff him. In fact today I would bet they'd claim he undermined the random nature of the game etc. And the court case would drag on for years.
Basically, it was pretty ballsy to take it that far.
