Just that IT'S BEEN one year. Which is has. Even today, in April, he's still been one year healthy. If someone would prefer the exact hours and minutes, feel free to post. Because I'm not. The radio show was discussing his book, not his hospital prognosis, and the one-year comment was given in that context. It was not meant to mislead or upset anyone.

secnarf May 1, 2020 Share May 1, 2020 Buzzy Cohen is on the new Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, as one of the "backup players". He'll be continuing on the next episode, if anyone is interested (or wants to avoid). 1 Link to comment

When Buzzy walked on, all the VO said was, "Buzzy wears round glasses," which I found very funny. 4 Link to comment

Maverick July 21, 2020 Share July 21, 2020 I don't mind the vault episodes. I just wondered how much more time they had to fill than normal. I didn't realize that they normally only do 6 weeks of rerun in the summer so yeah, I see why they're re-airing all thee tournaments and older episodes. Overall, I thought the questions were easier in the first episode. Not sure if that's era or they just wanted to make sure people made money and the first episode was exciting. Other than the contestants ringing before Alex got two words out, the most annoying thing was the audience clapping every time someone got an answer right. Well that, and the one guy's balloon atom. 1 Link to comment
