But an odd variant of the old win-and-pay story has cropped up in Google News. This time the IRS is making life miserable for somebody before a game show. The individual in question is Earl Simmons, better known as rapper DMX. The Feds are after him for $1.7 million in back taxes.
Simmons made bail in the case but then cleverly flunked a drug test. (Brilliant idea, DMX.) So the judge has put him under house arrest, more or less, which means he can't travel to L.A. for his scheduled appearance on Hip Hop Squares. That's MTV's rewind of Hollywood Squares, in case you missed it.
It's tough when the IRS wipes out your money from a game show before you even get the check. But Simmons could have laid off the illegal substances for a little while, no?
