Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In "Whammy!" does a double whammy give the contestant two whammies?

Answer: No

The "double" is only something coming down onto the contestant's head. It does not constitute a second whammy.

2. Was "Family Feud" the only game show John Ritter was on?

Answer: No

In memory of John Ritter, he was on "Family Feud," "The Dating Game," and "I've Got A Secret." John will be missed by many.

3. In "WinTuition," after what grade level is the first contestant eliminated?

Answer: 8

The first contestant is eliminated at the end of grade 8, and the second after grade 12.

4. In "Card Sharks," which host had only one third round "sudden death" question...Bob Eubanks or Jim Perry?

Answer: Eubanks

Eubanks' third round was only one question, unlike Perry's three questions.

5. Who took over as host of "Family Feud" in 2002?

Answer: Richard Karn

Richard Karn replaced Louie Anderson on "Family Feud" in 2002 as Anderson's contract expired.

6. How much did the winner receive in Rip Taylor's game show?

Answer: $1.98

Rip Taylor's game show was entitled "The $1.98 Beauty Show." The winner received $1.98, like the show title.

7. How much of Ben Stein's Money was the highest dollar value question?

Answer: $500

The first round consisted of questions ranging from $50 to $150. In round 2, while Ben was a contestant, question values increased from between $200 and $500. This series ended in 2002.

8. Which board game was made into a television game show in 1990?

Answer: Monopoly

In 1990, on Saturday nights, ABC had two game shows on. One was "Super Jeopardy!" in which contestants had a chance to win $250,000. Right after that, "Monopoly," came on. These series only lasted about 4 months.

9. How many spins does one get in the first round of "Whammy!"

In the first round, you go until you either freeze or get a whammy. Each time the three contestants get through without a whammy, more whammies are added.

Answer: Lisa Donovan

While the four are all singers, Lisa was the singer on "Face the Music."
