Here's a question I got that should be easy for all you game show fans...

Jamie writes, "Can you help me figure out the name of a game show that I watched about 20 years ago? It was like a board with words on it and you had to win to get to pick the covers off the board and it would like reveal for instance a needle + N + (then a pile of hay) with the answer to the puzzle would be a needle in the haystack!!! PLEASE HELP ME!!!!"

Well, I am hardly a game show expert but that sounds like Concentration to me. Although if you watched it twenty years ago then you were probably watching the relaunched version called Classic Concentration hosted by Alex Trebek.

A couple of years ago, I got to meet the man who created all of the rebus puzzles for the original series, Norm Blumenthal. He was an amazing talent who spent time transforming random names into rebuses. After watching him for an hour or so it became clear that the show would be very hard to update without finding somebody equally talented to design the puzzles.

Now for this week's question...

Aside from Pat Sajak and Chuck Woolery, name two people who have hosted Wheel of Fortune.

Excellent work Benjy! The correct answer was Rolf Benirschke and Bob Goen.
