I bet one of these days a contestant is gonna say "I'm in the middle of a bitter divorce. Thanks for reminding me"

I feel like a contestant has said that. It's just generic gameshow banter. He always seems just the tiniest bit uncomfortable when the contestant is gay.

I'm sure that has happened and then they had to edit it out.

They say things like "a retired teacher" sometimes, but otherwise, it does seem rare for contestants to be unemployed. There was a guy who was introduced as "a job seeker", though:

He's 73. He thinks we're still in the 60s or whatever where if you weren't married by 20 you were a waste of humanity.

The most famous unemployed game show contestant has to be Michael Larson, he's the only one I've seen where they actually say he's unemployed (at 24:56)

Do they do background checks? Wouldnt be surprised if people just lie and make shit up for a better chance of getting picked

I've heard they sometimes just have people make up a job if they're unemployed, because it just sounds bad to introduce someone as being unemployed. Like if I were to go on a show I'd probably identify myself as a home healthcare nurse even though in reality I'm just in the state CDPAP program and don't take care of anyone but my handicapped brother.

also I know this is a joke topic but he has cards that says the info of each contestant, so he'll only ask about marriage if someone wants to talk about it
