There was a time where two hardcore game show aficionados and another growing game show superfan met. Discussions began, plans hatched, and soon they hatched the idea of a podcast. This is that very podcast. We've all wished that Life Was Like a Game Show, but the question is...how would we run it? Well, Erik, Jon, and Harry hope to answer that question.

11 MAY 2022 · CBS. 1983-86. One of the greatest game shows of all time gets the deepest dive LiLaGS can possibly give. Granted, given the state of the fandom for three of the four hosts here on the show, it's to be expected.
It's May. It's Press Your Luck. Tonight, it's the OG, as we discuss the Peter Tomarken (RIP) years.
Our Salute to Javan Hamilton is in thanks to some of the footage shown here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tDFRrGZkmc&t=10s

3 MAY 2022 · As a special treat to all of our viewers, when we finally had a chance to schedule the makeup episode ahead of Press Your Luck Month, we thought...why not make it a YouTube exclusive? So here it is.

13 APR 2022 · HEADPHONE WARNING! WE WILL GET LOUD AT TIMES!!
Did you think we could go a week without another news desk? Well, in the words of the late Gilbert Gottfried...YOU FOOL!
The Password is indeed news desk, as there's been a hosting announcement made.
For the following, there is a trigger/content warning, as this week's episode will discuss the topic of suicide. If you or anyone else you know is suffering from thoughts or ideations, you are not alone. PLEASE call (800) 273-8255 or visit https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/.
However, our main focus of tonight's show is Family Feud. On the first of a two-part deep dive, we'll be taking a look at the middle years, after Richard Dawson's run ended in 1985, CBS brought the show back in 1988, and the syndicated run started in 1999. We'll be discussing the CBS run as well as the early syndication, saving Steve Harvey for next week.

13 APR 2022 · The LiLaGS family is saddened by the passing of Gilbert Gottfried (1955-2022), so tonight we will have a special episode as a tribute to his finest game show moments including one of the most iconic Hollywood Squares moments of all time, as well as others throughout his illustrious career. This episode will start with a moment of silence.

7 APR 2022 · The news desk smiled upon us, waiting until this week to hit us with EVERYTHING. The Price is Right, Jeopardy!, and Wheel of Fortune all had something happen one way or another (little of it good), and ABC made their announcement for this year's Summer of Fun and Games. What goes, what stays?
Also, somewhat scarily fittingly, this week we take a deep dive into Card Sharks, three different iterations, and three different hosts throughout the years, but one thing always stayed the same. Aces are high, deuces are low, call the cards, and win the dough!

31 MAR 2022 · This is it, the end has come, as it does with all good things. For our final episode of Price is Right Month, we take a look at the extra things we haven't mentioned over the last four weeks, and our favorite moments through the show's history.
It's gonna be a pretty clip-intensive show to say the least, but we promise you will enjoy the ride.

24 MAR 2022 · When it comes to The Price is Right, there are the versions you know, and the versions you *may* know. This week, we're taking a look at the latter. International versions? Check. Syndicated versions? Check. Special events and one-offs? Check and double-check. All that this week, as we continue Price is Right Month.
Be warned, SOMEONE may decide to do some more yelling as part of the intro.
