In the next week, the legendary William Shatner turns 95 years old. Our tribute to him is this entry from almost 20 years ago, which has Deal or No Deal tendencies but asks questions slightly more difficult than that show's title query. It remains a classic among us, though the general population didn't agree. We also get closure to what happened to the contestant on the final aired episode whose game was interrupted, never to be seen.

I honestly have no idea why William Shatner thought he could add game show host to his resume but whoever thought of Show Me The Money must've come up with an odd idea for a terrible game show. Because what Show Me The Money essentially was a knock-off of Deal Or No Deal with a mix of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. And Show Me The Money had simple gameplay which contestants were asked a question and if they got it right they had to select one of the models known as The Million Dollar Dancers which is another thing that Show Me The Money copied from Deal Or No Deal and why Show Me The Money had models was so they could have competition with Deal Or No Deal and The Price Is Right and why they were dancers is an odd thing. It's no secret why Show Me The Money was cancelled by ABC because this odd game show wasn't worthy of watching at all. I managed to see Show Me The Money when GSN aired reruns of it and the only thing it made me do was become a William Shatner fan and when I saw Show Me The Money I thought William Shatner was a wrong choice for hosting this show and you can see why William Shatner has never again hosted another game show since
