Random Elaine

With a slow news weekend for our little genre, I hit the random page button at U.S. Game Shows Wiki.

With my luck it took a while to get to an actual game show article. Instead I got several reality show and talent contest pages. Who's running this wiki, anyway? Game Show Newsnet? But finally a game show entry did turn up, a brief bio of Elaine Joyce.

The article says that Elaine is best known for Match Game, which is fair enough. The wiki also notes that she hosted a version of Dating Game in the 1980s, as the screenshot illustrates with plenty of '80s big hair. One thing I did not know: Elaine's birth name is Pinchot. Silly me, I thought Joyce was her last name, but it's actually her middle name.

The article credits Ms. Pinchot with "a countless number of game show appearances." I dunno, I guess somebody could count 'em if they had a lot of extra time on their hands. But I'm not going to try, even on a slow news weekend.
