Top 16 Game Show Moments - Championship Matchup

While playing "Fast Money" on the Family Feud, the first contestant throws off host Richard Dawson with her answer to the question "at what month does a pregnant woman begin to show?".  Of course, Richard needs to ask the same question to the second player, and cannot bring himself to ask the question without bursting into laughter.  The second contestant must have been thrown off, considering she was in the soundproof booth during the first response, and has no idea what the commotion is about.  After numerous attempts, Richard finally gets through the round of questions, but not before blurting out the hilarious answer while he was in one of his fits of laughter: "September..."   

Before the days of Who Wants to be a Millionaire and super jackpot prizes, game shows in the 80s rarely gave out prizes totally more than 5 digits.  Which makes this clip of Michael Larson on the show Press Your Luck even more unique.  The premise of the show is that three contestants answer multiple choice questions to win "spins" on the Press Your Luck game board, a panel with various slides showing money, prizes and the dreaded whammy.  The contestant spins by pressing a button to stop the seemingly random images on the panel to get whichever prize they highlight.  But Michael Larson, an ice cream truck driver from Ohio, deciphered that there was a particular pattern to the game board, and that certain spots never contained the whammy, which was the equivalent of the Wheel of Fortune bankrupt spot.  Larson incredibly took over 40 spins without hitting a whammy, winning over $110,000 on the show.  CBS investigated the result before finally giving Larson his prize, and changing the way the board patterns so this could not have been repeated.
