Jeopardy! send up in a Walt Disney World Epcot Center ride. Its in the Energy
pavillion and features Alex Trebek asking Ellen DeGeneres questions which are
all about energy in a dream. She does badly in the first portion and enlists
the aid of... I can't remember his name, who takes her back in time to the
dinasaur period during a commercial break. She comes back to ace the Double
Jeopardy! portion. The actual Jeopardy! set is used and looks absolutely
wonderful on the 4 or 5 giant screens. The whole thing is a class act.

Actually, it is not the actual J! set. If I remember correctly it is a
cheap copy of the 1991-96 set and when they show the other side of the
studio there is no audience.

The first is called "Twice in a lifetime" (I believe) starring Gene
Hackman and Ellen Burstyn as a couple with marital problems with
Ann-Margret complicating things. Anyway, this couple and their family
are seen watching a lot of TPiR.
Second, if anybody saw "Twilight Zone-The Movie", you'll recall a
segment called "Kick the Can" where the old folks at the home were
watching segments of the original Jeopardy! with Art Fleming.
This is Michael Stokes speaking for Michael Stokes.

So that's the show that is in the beginning of Great Expectations. I
thought it was Hot Potato, but I couldn't quite tell. I could see Bill
Cullen, but wasn't sure. I remember when I saw it, my girlfriend and
her roomate turned to me and said, "Quick, Mr. Game Show, what show is
it?" and I didn't know.

Other movies with game shows that I can remember are:
Flight of the Navigator: There are clips from the Tom Kennedy Price Is
Right
Splash: Darryl Hannah is watching the $25,000 Pyramid at one point.
First Born: clips from TPIR (Bob making his entrance)
Inner Space: Martin Short watches Scrabble at one point
Cable Guy: during the opening segment when he is flipping through
channels, there is a clip from Press Your Luck
Groundhog Day: Bill Murray watches Jeopardy and knows all the answers
(or questions for that matter)
Serial Mom: Wheel of Fortune
White Men Can't Jump: Rosie Perez was on Jeopardy
any others?

Cable guy where a contestant screams after stopping on $4000 and a spin I
think Bob Eubanks was in that scene and Jaye P Morgan was too And Rain man had
Sale of the century, Pyramid, Jeopardy and wheel of fortune in them too! I
thought it was hilarious seeing Dustin Hoffman as rain man doing the wheel of
fortune introduction. Isn't the match game theme in the soundtrack of Private

Yep! It was actually called "Celebrity Ding-Dang-Dong", Bob Eubanks was
the host (you can her him do a plug for the Plaza Hotel at the end of
the "show"), and Rip Taylor was among the celebs!

And so was Gong Show panelist Jaye P. Morgan. She was the one with white hair.
She looked about 70-years-old in that scene.

"Little Voice," and there is a brief glimpse of "Bruce's Price Is Right" (with
a credit to Yorskhire Television at the end). Look for the scene where Brenda
Blethyn and her very quiet, very fat friend are watching TV after Little
Voice's no-show at the club.
In the few seconds they show, we see a board with what looks like a Showcase
bid ("ARP," "Your Bid" and "Difference"). Somehow, I thought that "Bruce's
PIR" did the same Range Game Showcase as the 1994 syndicated version in the
U.S. Am I wrong?

Err... essentially the same gameplay, just with a different appearance.
The main difference is that players get to say (as in speak) where they
want the bottom end of their range to be, instead of having to pull a
lever to stop the little doo-hicky sliding up the scale. ("Remember, you
can be as much as <x> thousand pounds under, but not one penny over.")
The other difference is that the ranges available are two, three, four
and five thousand pounds (one thousand was also available in the first
series in '95, I think) and that selection between them is done on-
screen, rather unconvincingly, by stopping a series of flashing figures
on a video wall, rather than off-screen.
Happy St. Stephen's Day!

I FOUND ANOTHER GAME SHOW IN A MOVIE
In "The People v. Larry Flint", The Joker's Wild is shown. It's the
mid-80's and Larry has caused quite a stir by refusing to divulge the
source of a videotape he has allegedly showing a drug deal between
government officials and John DeLorean. Larry is in his bedroom waiting
for the feds to come and get him and take him to jail. In his bedroom,
he has three televisions - one showing each major network. He is quite
happy two of the three have interrupted network programming to discuss
his case. The third, however (CBS) is showing TJW (with the neon lights
around the slot machine.) They show the three TV's two with the front
of Larry's home and the third showing a spin: US Constitution - Joker -
Joker (a $200 triple). Larry is mad - he wants to be on all three.
They show again the end of a game and the winning a round music is
audible. Flint yells to the TV, "Get your priorities straight" as they
continue to blow him off. Finally, the third tv cuts to his story too,
and Flint is elated.
I like the line about "Get your priorities straight", as I have
complained in the past about local preemptions of game shows for local
stories. Larry and I may have different priorities some of the time.

"Twilight Zone-The Movie" had the old version of Jeopardy with Art Fleming in
one of it's stories.

opening of a game show called "Lose A Million." I have never heard of the show
but the producers of the game are given a courtesy during the credits. Ergo,
the show must be real.

Wasn't that "Airplane II: The Sequel"? Been a while since I've watched either
of these, but it seems to me after someone tells Striker "You're putting all
these people in jeopardy!" (or similar phrase), Fleming turns up onboard with
the category being "Space Shuttle Disasters" and the answer "The Mayflower"
Someone will no doubt correct me if I'm wrong...

"Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex but were afraid to ask" in
which one of the skits was a "What's My Line?" spoof (with a touch of IGAS
thrown in for good measure) called "What's My Perversion?", hosted by Jack
Barry and with a panel of Pamela Mason, Regis Philbin, Toni Holt and Robert Q.
Lewis. One contestant says his perversion is exposing himself on subways, and
in an act-out-your-fantasy segment, Pam ties up a rabbi who is whipped by a
third-rate model while his wife is made to eat pork at his feet.
Eyeball-rolling, but one of the better skits in a wildly uneven movie that
saves most of its best for last.
WMP? probably doesn't count as an actual game show in a movie, but as a WML?
spoof it's terribly silly and amusing -- and Q has more hair than I've ever
seen on him.
So who exactly WAS Toni Holt?
