Password and the Doe-Knob Contestant

Origin Many of us grew up being taught that there’s only one correct way to speak our native language, and that people who don’t speak like us demonstrate a deplorable lack of culture or education. As such, dialect speakers are commonly characterized as being of lower intelligence or just plain lazy, and this characterization is often used to stigmatize members of certain racial, ethnic, or national groups. In particular, linguistic arrogance has historically been a tool wielded by racists to foster a stereotype of Blacks as unintelligent, lazy objects of fun. An urban legend about a game show contestant fits this pattern, one in which a laugh comes at the expense of a Black game show contestant whose speech patterns trap him into making the wrong word association. His chance to earn some easy money is blown because he talks differently than the show’s (white) celebrities and audience. Not only does he lose the cash, he’s also roundly laughed at. His humiliation is crushing

Wheel of Fortune s Pat Sajak congratulates son on becoming a doctor

America s game show host is also one of America s proudest dads. Pat Sajak used air time during Monday s episode of Wheel of Fortune to give his 30-year-old son, Patrick Sajak, a congratulatory shout out. He asked his longtime co-host Vanna White if he could do a little parental bragging to honor his first born.  You know my son Patrick, you ve known him all his life, Sajak told White. He s made it through medical school and he is now officially Dr. Sajak.   The game show host said he is thrilled about his son s accomplishment, whom he shares with his wife Lesly, but there is one aspect of the new degree that Sajak is less thrilled about.

An old quiz show might underline what s wrong with today s higher education | The View from Mudsock Heights

It’s not nostalgia that leads me to think of a television show that all but disappeared more than 50 years ago. I bring up the once-famous “GE College Bowl” for an entirely different reason. College Bowl was a quiz show. A panel of four students from each of two schools would compete. They would be asked often-difficult questions that it was thought college students might be able to answer. The winning school would return the following week to take on four students from a different school. Winners could return for up to five weeks, at which point they would be declared undefeated champions. It was formatted in the fashion of an athletic event, with a “halftime” break during which short films promoting each school were shown. The original host was Alan Ludden, whom many may remember as later being the host of the “Password” game show or as Betty White’s husband. (I remember him as having one too many Ds to be a cough drop.)
