I loved it! It was tongue in cheek but also dead on true. I think you have to be of a certain age to get your play on the game show host and the losers' prizes, so I guess I'm of that age!

Earl, this is one crazy write. :) Stalin, Hitler, and Napoleon? Three of the world conquerors on a scene like the Price is Right. I got a laugh out of it. :) May be your first time but it has promise. This is a good offering for the Conversation with the Past contest.

I won't be kind because it is out of your comfort zone. I will be kind because I enjoyed your script once I got passed the humor involving such a**holes and bast**ds.
The only line I didn't like was where Hitler was sending them to the showers. But I really don't have a problem with pushing the envelope; it just surprised me.

Ha, Ha, HA, your entry had some explosive guests, maybe instead of Nappy you could've used Father Stalin-skaya:). The price they received is priceless:"Narrator: Well Blink each panelist will walk away with their very own version of Those Who Don't Know their History are Doomed to Repeat it home game and of course, a years supply of Rice-A-Roni, the San Francisco treat." Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest.

Hahaha, love it! You did a great job. I could see this as I read it. Love the 3 contestants AND their stupid answers--goes with the territory. I like the way you had AH respond in "German', and Nappy is hilarious.
Adolph:[ bold font the name Adolph] He's an amateur. People claim he's killed 200,000 with this virus, I could do that number in my sleep.
Best wishes.
Respectfully, Jan

I think it is cute and I'm glad you entered. I like the fact you made a quiz show out of it and got the people the people Lee and I used on to defend themselves, plus Uncle Joe. Very clever. You wrote a good script.

Super script, Earl! Sorry I don't have a six for you as I found your script hilarious and creative. I like how you make us think about the manipulation of the press, the treatment of people and laughed about the Rice-a-Roni!
The only one historical point I'd differ on is that Stalin killed a lot more with his own anti-Semitic pogroms. But Mao killed many more millions with his terrible decisions that resulted in country-wide famine.
Minor suggestions:
I tink I had a handle (sink) Germans tend to replace the voiced "th" with 'z' and unvoiced 'th' with 's'
to ask before hand, (beforehand)
runs on it's stomache! (its)
a years supply (year's)

And a fine first script it is, Earl. There's a real theme running through most of these scripts. I like your game show set up. Very neat.
Best of luck at the polls, Earl.
Peace, Lee

Comment from Mary Vigasin
Very creative idea and also teaches those who do not know history knowledge of these characters.
Where I am going to hit you is in the Adolph accent. The others did not have accents and made it difficult to read.
Hitler was known for his anger
So maybe all Caps to show is anger may have been easier

You've called the worst of totalitarianism in history, but you've left out Ghengis Khan, they were all incredibly efficient murderers, with the possible exception of Napoleon. Most imaginative, having these tyrants their say, and looking through their eyes with yours Earl. Well done, very amusing, blessings Roy
