Truth be told, I already knew about a lot of them, like Vanna's turn on The Price is Right (no, she never got off contestants row.) Or Brianne Leary's jump from civvie to celeb on Match Game (the only one who ever made the journey across the stage.) But I didn't know that Simon Cowell of talent show infamy made his TV debut as a civvie on the UK Sale of the Century.
They introduced Simon as a motor racing fan and a keen go-cart racer. Maybe he offered sour opinions about his competitors' driving, as sort of a warmup for Idol. The thread runs through some other performers whose game show adventures I wasn't aware of, like actress Kellie Martin. She played on Card Sharks and later voiced Daphne on Scooby-Doo, among many other roles. Always thought the cartoon was a little unfair to Daphne, making her more brainless than necessary.
