Greatest Moments
It would be nice to include a list of the show's great moments. For example, Madeleine Albright bragging about her ability to bench press, and the continuing series of faux pas over the area code of the devil last year. Uucp
I nominate the one about GWB saying his greatest achievement of his presidency was catching a 7 lb-perch. Then the story got complicated... Wilsonbond 21:19, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

There was an awfully amusing time when the song "She's Gone" was played, and a contestant had to answer who the song was in reference to. The correct answer was Harriet Meyers, whose nomination had been recently withdrawn, but the contestant answered Rosa Parks :( . Googleaseerch
While I love the show, and I like the idea... I don't think a "Greatest Moments" section would really fit with in the NPOV policy of Wikipedia. --208.106.65.48 (talk) 03:03, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
"coordinates in conjunction"
Omizzle77 recently added information about We Interrupt this Week. I'd appreciate a clarification of what the last sentance of his edit is supposed to mean:
"...as the first game show ever to be televised on the Public Broadcasting System, which coordinates in conjunction with NPR."
As far as I know, NPR and PBS are seperate entities, with some natural crossover. Is this sentence erroneously trying to claim that they are the same entitiy, or is it saying PBS has a hand in coordinating only this program? I'm afraid I can't tell what the message was supposed to be well enough to correct it... ~CS 22:30, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
- Incoherency seems to be only one of its problems.
- My read is that the writer is trying to claim some sort of direct connection between PBS and NPR -- a common mistake -- but a bigger concern is the claim that WWDTM is based directly on this earlier TV show. I've never heard this nor of the show, and I'd like to some outside source for it.
- I've removed it pending a cite (like, say, a Doug Berman interview saying so). --Calton | Talk 23:44, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
