I added like the episode number of the show, and the (as of -date here-)

I think that I am not supposed to talk about the actual show on this page, but about the article. Hope I can add this!! :P I've only watched the 2nd episode, with the guy that won the half a million, and I'm thinking that this show is way too easy! Is it possible that the creators will make this harder in the future? Whcodered 04:55, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
I removed the trivia section from this article. The first entry was linkspam. The second entry was only mildly notable, and probably should go into an article about Ben Silverman instead of this one.
Please review wikipedia's official guideline regarding trivia sections; they are generally frowned upon, as information is better presented in other sections of the article context rather than a list. Dr. Cash 17:43, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
Any ideas on the identity of the CSI investigator from tonight's episode? I don't think they identified her on the show, but assuming that they're talking about one of the cast members of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, I've narrowed it down to either Marg Helgenberger or Louise Lombard. If I had to guess, I'd probably say Marg, but it's a tough call. Either way, the contest was smart by taking the $250,000; to me, it was obvious that #11 was NOT the CSI investigator.

This article is coming along well. I especially like the changes made to the Strangers section to specifically point out the celebs. Good work so far y'all! fmmarianicolon | Talk 18:23, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
On the Wednesday show, did anyone else see the Listerine commercial where it told you that the answer to the question was #1? I suppose they did this to avoid people skipping the commercial breaks using their TiVo, but was this the case for all of the other shows, or was it just the Wednesday show? I was going to add this to the article, but I decided against it, as it could have been a one-time thing. If you have any questions, please contact me at my talk page.

They definitely did that on the Tuesday show as well. Wjmorris3 00:47, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
"Tri-dentity cannot be used once only four people remain."
I'm assuming someone cited this based on information revealed in an episode. Is there any logical reason why one is not allowed to use tri-dentity with 4 people left? TheHYPO 09:39, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
"Who do you want to know more about?"
I'm adding info on this to the article, but I don't have record- has Penn done this every game (where he asks a stranger his/her name, and some other unrelated facts like he did with Bruce Jenner asking him what movie he'd seen and if he had dogs)... if anyone knows for sure if he has done this every game, and/or if there is a certain spot (after x correct answers), please add it to the article. Thanks TheHYPO 10:08, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
I could be wrong, but I assumed this was a first week test to see if the show would work, and then presumably the show would be produced for a weekly spot if it were successful. The intro paragraph has been changed to "was a game show" as if the game has no chance of being picked up. Is this confirmed? TheHYPO 21:46, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
Will the show be renewed? The intro of the article leads me to believe the show has been cancelled. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.23.51.27 ( talk) 06:11, 7 January 2007 (UTC).
Hey, IanManka: Your reworking to this bit was a big improvement, but still a little muddled; the wording made it seem like NBC places the answer during a commercial within the first 20 minutes of the show to encourage watching the commercials (as if placing it in the last 20 minutes would not). The entry in the rules is there so people won't call foul and say "No fair, you guys are just gonna keep saying it's 'coming up', and then it won't happen until the last five minutes of the show'; this way, NBC can point to the rules and say "That's not true, we guarantee it'll come up early, within the first 20!" and near as I can tell, it's fairly standard among game shows with "play at home" elements.I'll agree, though, that the passage has merit, so I've reworded it more fully. -- Max22 06:44, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
(PS: You were on Jeopardy! when you were the same age where going on Jeopardy! was my greatest dream, and for that reason I am in awe of you. You'd better believe that I would have gone on the kid's version, JEP, if I had only been an American citizen.)
(PPS: I have no idea how to do line breaks, so this whole edit looks like a big unreadable clump. Sorry.)
Who is that guy?
With the new season of Identity coming up, I'm worried about the "Strangers" section degenerating into an unencyclopedic list. It's probably okay for just a five-episode series, but as info from new episodes gets added, the large list could become gigantic. (Compare the huge list at 1 vs. 100 (US game show).)
I'm not saying the section needs to be completely removed, but it definitely needs to be "tersed up" - I would recommend removing the "episode" and "game" dividers, and removing all but the most famous/notable strangers. Matt 23:06, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
