What did he do in RHPS again? Hate to sound calous, but it's really
tedious that anyone feels the need to post this kind of thing on an
RHPS newsgroup. Love you, Lavar, but this is silly.

> Curry? ; )
It's not new! We used to play that at our show every week back in the
late 90's, we called it It All Comes Back To Tim Curry. Three of our
audience members would shout out a name of an actor at the beginning of
the show, and we had until the end of the show to link them back to Tim
Curry in 5 steps or less, or they won a prize. In about 8 months of
doing it, there wasn't one person ever named that we couldn't do it
with (and, we also limited ourselves exclusively to movie roles and
actors, and had the rule that we couldn't go through Kevin Bacon to do
it - since 6 Degree Kevin was in a Few Good Men with Tom Cruise who, of
course, did Legend with Tim Curry, so it would have been too easy to
just link to Kevin and go from there for most people). Towards the end,
I could even do many link chains off the top of my head. We ended up
retiring the game because it became too much of a hassle to do it every
single week, and we were just getting a lot of the same names over and
over - we went out with a Halloween pre show number that linked Tim
back to every Film/Actor named in SFDF.
Curry Out,
