Because many of us have been in game shows for some time, there's always someone around who can share a story of Johnny O or Jay Stewart that I never heard.
Over the long hours of taping 5, 6 or 7 episodes a day, we develop a great sense of family.
Because these show are live, script pages are being switched during the program and new commercial teases might be yelled in your ear with just enough time to scribble them on scrap paper before reading them.
If you have real passion for a career in game shows, be willing to serve an apprenticeship; it's the best way to learn.
'What's My Line' 1971 was a magical experience as I was still in my teens, and it was my first appearance. You know how they say you never forget 'your first'!
Of course watching a particularly exciting game or a wonderful contestant is always a joy.
