As you probably know, Dan Daniel. The voice you may recognized as announcer has died back on Monday. He was the only game show announcer who did "The Big Showdown". Before that, he was a NYC radio legendary DJ when he started at WMCA in the 1960's as one of the original "Good Guys" and then went to WHN, WNBC and then to WYNY in the 1980's when it was a country station and finally ended up at WCBS-FM in the 1990's until 2002. His final radio appearance was 7/7/12 where CBS-FM celebrated its 40th anniversary. We will be surely be missed. RIP: Dan Daniel 😰

Actually, "Triple D" (as "Dandy" Dan Daniel was also known as) had been at WYNY (originally 97.1 and later 103.5) from 1980 (when it was adult contemporary) until 1996 when it became the still-current WKTU-FM, joining CBS-FM initially on Sundays in 1996 and then taking over in September 1997 middays from Ron Lundy when Ron retired (I believe Ron may have actually had to retire due to his health) until 2002 when he retired from full-time only to return for a brief period in 2003.

Jim Peck got strict with the people in the audience who were accused of whispering. This episode of "The Big Showdown" was aired the first half of 1975 on ABC. Peck's other ABC game shows which didn't last so long were "Hot Seat" (1976) and "Second Chance" (1977). I admired Jim Peck as an ABC game show host when I was little (between 4 and 7 years of age).
@bmasters19813 жыл бұрын
If he got strict, I don't blame him thereto-- the name of the show is The Big Showdown, and when you have a game named like that, everything about it is bigtime and demands the utmost concentration and attention.

There is another way that $10,000 can be won. If the champion rolls the target number 20 times at $250 apiece and then rolls ShowDown, they would win $10,000. Saying that $250 x 20 = $5,000 + $5,000 for rolling ShowDown = $10,000.
@PREGO19669 жыл бұрын
Andrew Hain How can you roll a 20 on a pair of dice when the highest number on either is a 6 (or in the case of the showdown dice is 5).
@JeopardyandWheelFan9 жыл бұрын
I meant if you roll the target number a total of 20 times.
