Is a listing of "other notable celebbrity panelists" really necessary? Practically everyone who's ever sniffed fame has been on this show. Adding people to the list who don't have a wikipedia entry is especially ridiculous, but other than a handful of semi-regulars, I may just clip the whole thing entirely.

[edit] Tic Tac Dough?

I've never seen the original 50's version of Tic Tac Dough, but I've seen the 70's reairing, and it seems like Hollywood Squares in some ways is based at least a bit on the format. Two players, answering trivia questions for tic-tac-toe squares - like Tic Tac Dough meets Match Game... I was just wondering if there's any connection between Hollywood Squares and the original TTD in the form of inspiration or anything like that TheHYPO 16:53, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "For the win"

Participants on the show often used to the phrase "for the win" when picking a square that could seal their victory. This phrase has recently become a popular Internet slang term, usually abbreviated as "ftw". Did Hollywood Squares originate this phrase or does it date back further?

[edit] Grand Slam

Anybody recall the name of the guy on Bergeron's version that went 5 shows without a loss? Trekphiler 05:14, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
