5/19 Quick News & Notes

-Last night's "SNL" was the last episode for Bill Hader & Fred Armisen; also appearing were Jennifer Garner, ALF, Anderson Cooper & Amy Poehler.
-Of the five "Price" winners that have won more than the Showcase winner this season, only one didn't win any cash on stage (Erin Kiyan, but she did win the $500 IUFB bonus).
-The all-time record-low for BR wins in a "Wheel" road trip is one, set in Phoenix in Feb. '97 (& it was the last two weeks w/ the original puzzleboard), so the current NYC one is guaranteed not to tie or break the record (two so far).
-Mariah Carey reportedly lip-synced on the "American Idol" grand finale this week, but that claim has been denied because the performance may have actually been pre-taped before last Thurs.
-Kree Harrison will make her Grand Ole Opry debut on Jun. 4.
-A "Wheel" BR SHUTOUT has occurred on the same week of an "Idol" finale four times ('02, '07, '11 & this yr.).

5/17 Quick News & Notes

-While watching John O'Hurley's "Family Feud" on GSN weekdays at 5 PM this week (it doesn't air on Thurs. when there's a new episode of "The American Bible Challenge"), I noticed that the same Q from last Wed.'s episode was used back then. Also, on today's first episode (which originally aired on 2/12/10), there was a lighting problem during the Triple points rd.
-Wayne Brady has chewed out Bill Maher for commenting that President Obama "wasn't black enough". Also, Wayne was the special guest co-host on "The View" today.
