Yes

There's lots of spare time in the show. I don't understand.

Jason Larsen

What have we been meaning to say?

Jason Larsen

I know that this past week, Countdown was abbreviated due to the Cheltenham Festival Of all shows, why would it affect Countdown and why would Deal or No Deal still be on? On a side note, in my part of the US, they pre-empt The Price is Right with Drew Carey (another one of my favorite shows,) for a...

Jason Larsen

Ok.

Maybe that will do the trick.

My mom has a cold right now, and we haven't had a chance to speak for pleasure, but I'm sure we will soon.

By the way, I think she caught mine from last week.

Jason Larsen

You know, the person who advocated for me to get my computer works with Dell, which my computer is. He's not a bad person, but now I'm wondering where what he said came from.

My computer has 768MB of RAM.

Jason Larsen

Thank you.

It's too bad that we didn't realize this until now.

Jason Larsen

I'm glad to hear that, Mikey.

Also, it would be very interesting if there was an American Countdown contestant on in the near future.

If it were me, I would tell Des O'Connor that I admire him and tell him that I know he appeared on American TV 50 years ago, which he did.

Jason Larsen

It's been two years, and I have just realized that my computer needs a change. It has a lot of RAM, but it's still running slow. Now, I think I know what the problem is. I think my computer needs a new processor. It has a Celeron processor right now, but I think I should have a Core Duo 2 processor....

Jason Larsen

So, if they really wanted to they could change the name to Countdowno. In that case, I would bet they would make it similar to Bingo.

Jason Larsen

Is that just an idea?

Jason Larsen

Hi, Richard! You would definitely recognize me because I am in a wheelchair. I think I can visualize us meeting in the library because it is a quiet place. I am most active and awake in the aft4ernoon because I will have had time to refresh by then. Also, I am a very optimistic person and I know I c...

Jason Larsen

Ten-letter words?

If the game is going to change and get harder out of nowhere, that's the way to do it.

So, in other words all of you loyal friends are saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Jason Larsen

Mikey, first of all, how are you?

Also, I know that Des Chiffres et Des Lettres has been running just as long as The Price is Right here in America and Mastermind in the UK. It's not going anywhere anytime soon, so you have time.

Jason Larsen

Without question, I think the Winker stands as my choice to host Countdown here in America. Even though he may be more like Des Lynam, who was my least favorite Countdown host he deserves the position because he has been hosting game shows for so long. Honestly, I can't see anyone else doing it. And...

Jason Larsen

Kevin, are you talking about the US version of Lingo with Chuck Woolery?

Anyway, I forgot who it was that UK daytime gameshows are more reserved than UK primetime gameshows, but do you think that's actually true?

Jason Larsen

I know who he is, and he looks great.

Jason Larsen

Yes.

He's much better than you think he is, Kevin. In fact, he is the person who has hosted the most game shows here in America and is still alive.

Jason Larsen

I am 21, Martin.

Jason Larsen

You know, it is sometimes hard to determine what to do when you are sick like me. They say sleep is the best medicine, but too much sleep is not good for you.

That's why I watched Countdown this week.

Jason Larsen

Thank you, Jim.

Those were good words, and I'll be up in a few hours.

Jason Larsen

Nine-letter words, Jim?

Anyway, I'm feeling a little under the weather right now, so I'm going to relax for a little while. I'll see you later.

Jason Larsen

I usually don't post comments regarding game recaps because of my unusual nature, but I just have to let you all know my comments in regard to Friday's game. Friday's game was one of the most exciting Countdown games I have ever seen. I'm surprised Carol didn't react in a happier way when five of th...

Jason Larsen

It's more of a challenge for contestants. I'm neutral about that.

I just enjoy the game.

Jason Larsen

The minimum age to appear on any American game show is 18.

Martin, thank you for the good pointers there.

Jason Larsen

Thank you, Mr. O'Neill.

Your kind words are very much appreciated.

Jason Larsen

BB Code is enabled for me, Charlie.

Thank you.

Jason Larsen

I can introduce myself very well, though.

Jason Larsen

Where are the smiles?

If you want to know more about how I feel right now, please read my most recent thread in the Off-topic forum.

Jason Larsen

It seems like forever has gone by since that time.

I still have memories of Richard Whiteley, though.

Jason Larsen

Well, I would probably deduce that "you are Jon Corby" unless you introduced yourself.

Ironically, I did not start watching Countdown on a regular basis until Des O'Connor became the host, so David O'Donnell and Jason Cullen are the only ones I know here by face and voice.

Jason Larsen

I was just wondering about this because my feelings have been a bit stronger than usual lately.

If any of you met me in real life, would you smile and say hi to me?

Jason Larsen

I don't know why, but whenever I post here I tend to be very nervous because I don't know what any of your feelings are going to be like at any given time.

Jason Larsen

I should ask, what did Martin just write?

Jason Larsen

Are you kidding, Damian?

Jason Larsen

I'm sorry, it was just an idea.

Damian, just so you know I will still be posting here.

Jason Larsen

Yes, but Sara is very sweet. If you take a listen to a few of her interviews at http://www.sarabronson.net, you will see that she is a great person. Her answer to one of the questions they had asked her was a sure sign that I thought she would be a great hostess on a US Countdown. I was hoping you w...

Jason Larsen

What is that?

Jason Larsen

That would be fine with me.

Jason Larsen

I know an American Countdown pilot was scrapped for being too intellectual, but I thought I would post here and try to let you all know how I would Americanize Countdown if I could. More information will be explained if needed. Here goes: Host: Wink Martindale (This show needs a veteran, and I think...

Jason Larsen

I think we've got friends in Kirk and Joseph here.

Jason Larsen

He's still shining. I love people who work for as long as he haqs.

Remember, if you get a minute, tell him, "A fan says hello," (and don't tell him it's me.)

Jason Larsen

I know we're not all that bad of people.

And Damian, it's nice to hear from you and thank you for getting this thread back on track.

How is Des doing?

Jason Larsen

I really wasn't expecting this thread to derail, Charlie.

If you would like to talk to me more about this, please talk to me privately.

Thank you.

Jason Larsen

I'm not sure what's gotten into everybody today.

Jason Larsen

Oh, I thought you were talking about me in your last reply to that thread. If not, I sincerely apologize, sir.

Jason Larsen

I am not at fault for anything.

Jason Larsen

Of course, I think the cast and crew made a great decision in hiring Des O'Connor to replace Des Lynam, and again, yes, Des O'Connor needs no introduction. By the way, I would like to send some credit out to Damian if he's around here. Damian, would you please tell Des that a fan in me says hello? A...

Jason Larsen

So, in this day and age, I know what they were thinking. They were thinking, "Des O'Connor? Yes. We know him. Everyone knows him. Let's hire him to be the new host of Countdown." And the show doesn't need an announcer, because a very cheery, "Good afternoon, Countdowners everywhere&qu...

Jason Larsen

I thought she meant it was the other way around.

Jason Larsen

Carey Countdown has been postponed.

Jason Larsen

Oh, so they thought Richard Whiteley was a household name.

As for John Humphries, I don't know.

Jason Larsen

If Peter Dickson talked just a little bit louder, he'd have that introduction down without a problem.

Jason Larsen

That is quite interesting.

Yes, I've seen full episodes of "Countdown," and Carol always says something like, "Sitting next to Susie Dent is the great..."

I also didn't know that a game show host being introduced with an upward inflection is strictly an American practice.

Jason Larsen

If I would have been there and he were still alive, I would have loved to meet Richard Whiteley.

Jason Larsen

Since I have watched Countdown, I have observed that there is no announcer on the show and the hosts do not introduce themselves. This has been true since Countdown's very first show with Richard Whiteley. Could it possibly be because the cast and crew think the hosts are household names? For exampl...

Jason Larsen

Oh, so that was just a flashback.

Richard Whiteley was a darn nice man, wasn't he?

Jason Larsen

Joseph, I was about to wish you good luck, but I have a question.

Are you due to appear on Countdown anytime soon?

I'm confused, you talked about two different events in one thread.

Jason Larsen

Thank you, Dinos!

Jason Larsen

Hi, Dinos!

For now, I will send you a PM on this forum, but please let me know when you are able to check your e-mail again.

Thank you!

Jason Larsen

Because no harm was done in whoever it was apologizing to you for being mean, you are definitely invited to play.

I'm still looking for Dinos, though.
