That's still a decent amount of money, even though the IRS will be taking (at least) half of it away from him.

33783$ per day. That's a pretty good salery! (Guessing they tape a show in two hours that gives a hourly salery of 17k [wow] )

Well I heard he loses tonight, but the show isn't on for another hour and a half, right?

I think they tape them earlier and some news of his loss was leaked because I remeber hearing about it a few weeks ago, but I never heard a date or anything...

The show is on here at 4:00 PM central time...

Episodes are taped weeks/months in advance. They do something like 5 episodes a day, four days a week for two months, and then take the rest of the year off. Pat Sajak and Alex Trebek have the greatest jobs ever.

I have to get in touch with somebody to have them watch tonight's show...I'm stuck at school :(

You're on the right track, but almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

You are the weakest link. Good bye.

Things have the tendency of being relative in this little world of ours.

While you're correct in assuming my male sex slaves are employed by a firm I contract work out to, you're incorrect in assessing how often I utilize their services.

I liked how shocked that lady was when she was. Everyone was just like "No way!". I don't see why the guy should care. He made 2 million bucks on a freaking game show for chrissake.

The best part about Ken is that he's a software developer. At least he used to be; maybe he won't need to work anymore if he invests wisely.
