After all, game shows are not like working in a coal mine.
I've been a fan of 'Countdown' for as long as I can remember, and this is a dream job.
This is a "test."
'Wait, Wait' has been great. The humor is there, and we get to do a lot of action.
I think what makes 'Jeopardy!' special is that, among all the quiz and game shows out there, ours tends to encourage learning.
On 'The Chase,' I don't know what questions are going to appear, so they deliberately try and catch me out.
Everyone loves sport. And everyone loves a quiz.
That's why when I send a postcard I quiz people. "Hey, did you get that postcard?" "Yeah, yeah yeah." "Well what'd I say?" "Uh, you were havin-" "I was in jail"
Game shows are designed to make us feel better about the random, useless facts that are all we have left of our education.
Faith is more than getting a theological quiz right. Faith is to know, to assent, to put your trust in, and to cherish what is true.
I think I'm a trivia nerd. I love to learn about everything. I'm curious.
(The Weakest Link) is fascinating program. They ask a bunch of people questions and they keep getting rid of the dumbest person, so just the smartest person is left. It is kind of the opposite way we elect a president.
It doesn't matter how smart you are; to audition for 'Jeopardy,' you just have to luck out and know what they're asking you that day.
The story I get the biggest kick out of is when my name and e-mail appeared on 'Jeopardy' a couple of years ago. My mother was a faithful viewer, and she said she was happy that they finally had an answer she knew the question to.
You'll be tested every single day.
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? I don't.
I love games. When I first saw 'Celebrity Family Feud,' I literally, in all caps, emailed my team and was like, 'Why am I not on this?'
I've been obsessed with words since I was a little girl, and I am fortunate that each week as resident word expert on 'Countdown' I am ideally placed to quiz my guests in dictionary corner about the words and phrases they use.
Quick, name some towns in New Jersey
I got on the quizzing circuit, that's how I heard about the existence of 'The Chase'.
I'd love it if I could face off against the 'Eggheads.'
I like game shows.
Knowing lots of answers but being a millisecond slow on the buzzer is indeed very frustrating.
There's no point in doing an intelligent quiz with me sitting opposite Kerry Katona.
I'm slightly obsessed with Moomins. They were my specialist subject on BBC's 'Celebrity Mastermind' a few years ago!
