Curtis also had a helluva' good run on Sale Of The Century in the mid 80's!! Smart dude, for sure!! And I think he was an OS, also!

Your "basis of argument" is,...how shall I put this nicely...fuggin' DUMB!! Naturally, it'd be a virtual impossibility for me to prove, HOWEVER,...with this being said, I would not hesitate to wager 100 quid on the probability that Curtis Warren's I.Q. is at least EQUAL TO,...if not (very probable) HIGHER than that of Colin Wilcox's. But I TOTALLY get the "jab" for which you're (half-arsedly/unsuccessfully) attempting to pull-off here; Brits are to brain surgeons, what 'mericans is ta' refuse-engineers. NEXT....!!!

Elevation Nation Yes, this is the same Curtis Warren that won a ton on "Sale of the Century" in 1986. He was one of the biggest winners in the history of the show. Also worth noting, he had different wives on each show. During "Sale" he was married to Sharon. During "Greed", his wife was Phyllis. If anyone wants to see Warren on "Sale of the Century", his shows are running right now on GSN in the mornings.

+FireCracker3240 I didn't realize that. Of course, I was younger when Sale came on and didn't watch it religiously due to being at school at the time.

@sha11235 8 жыл бұрын

+FireCracker3240 I hope he invested wisely in his winnings on both shows.

@FireCracker3240 8 жыл бұрын

sha11235 I was also pretty young when Sale was on during it's original run. Luckily, as an adult, I was able to watch a bunch of episodes on GSN. I got really invested in this great game. I remember Curtis Warren specifically (along with some other big winners), as he had a really long run. Here's to hoping he did invest all of his winnings well.

true story about that moment When I was living at home with my mother and brother me and my brother watched the show in our bedrooms and when Daniel went for it I thought he was going to get it and then the final answer came up wrong and my brother flat out walked over to my room (it was basically next door separated by a closet) and said he though the show was rigged I don't think the show was "rigged" but can someone tell me what smell "Chocolate" has (cos yes the question was about "smells" if I remember right)

From 4:09, some of the credits appeared and the production card (Dick Clark Productions). Then, half the credits started again with the same background (where they do the introduction for Greed) 'til it reaches to "(C) MM dick clark productions and FOX Broadcasting Company all rights reserved." and another production card (20th TELEVISION) appeared. That's what I love about the credits and the show on GAME SHOW network for syndication.

Curtis was definitely an actor & a bad one at that. Think the Jeffersons white boy wigga (actor Jay Hammer) from the later episodes. I'm talking shit acting. I speak from experience at the highest level. Everything here smells scripted to me. he was a shitty actor throughout the whole show if you pay attention. It's not even convincing in the slightest as far as I'm concerned. I'm talking low-level soap opera acting at best. IMO, this shit was staged.
