It must be so nerve-wracking being up there knowing that if you don't know the answer *immediately* (much less at all, lol) then everyone will think you are an idiot. Off screen I bet he knows what 5x2 is without even having to use his fingers! ;p But "Lights!Camera!Action!" can ruffle pretty much anyone I guess. And I thought he seemed like such a nice guy - real sweetie to think of his wife first when Foxworthy asked him what he would do with his money if he won.

Originally Posted By sun-n-fun I thought the idea was good, but I agree the pace of the show is way too slow. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that.

Originally Posted By Dabob2 Yeah, you can actually outthink yourself on this show. Once they asked "What's the closest star to the earth," and I was thinking Alpha Centauri (which I think we learned by 5th grade)... then I remembered, it was a first or second grade question and that made me say to myself "the sun, dummy, the sun." I haven't watched since it went to its new time slot opposite "The Office," though.
