Here is the first one:

This person played a character on this 1990's sitcom AND he was also on a 1980's sitcome as well.  Can you name both shows, his real name and his character from this picture?

frameguy2704

Alfonso Ribeiro  who played Carlton Banks on The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air. in the 90's
he also played Alfonso Spears on Silver Spoons in the 80's

HoJofan206

Very good Frameguy2704

Here is the next one:
Im gonna make this one a bit harder since you guys are getting them so easily.

This actress played on a night time 1990's soap and in real life is married to one of her former cast members from that show.  Can you name her, her character, the show and as a bonus, who married from this shows cast?  :huh:

HoJofan206

No guesses so far?  Let me know if I need to leave another hint.  I might have gotten too hard with this one.

HoJofan206

OK, here is a hint:  The show played on FOX and was on Monday nights........

HoJofan206

OK, I must have gone too far with that one.  LOL

The actress is Laura Leighton, she played Sydney Andrews on Melrose place from 1993 to 1997.  She later married Melrose co-star Doug Savant, who now plays on the series Desperate Housewives.

HoJofan206

Here is the next one:

This person was the host of a daytime game show in the late 1980's/early 1990's.  He killed himself during around 1996 having bouts of depression.  Can you name him?  And the show he hosted?

HoJofan206

No guesses on this one? :huh:

beachgal26

It took me awhile to remember what show he was on, but Ray Combs was on "The Family Feud" from 1988-1994.  Despondent over many issues, he committed suicide in 1996.

HoJofan206

You are correct beachgal26, and sadly you are correct about him ending his own life in 1996.

Here is the next item up for bid:

This gameshow host was on this particular "fun" morning game show from 1984 to 1986.  Can you name the host, the show and the specific thing the show was known for?

Ameskid

I don't know who the host is, but I'm going to guess the show.
Either Trivia Trap, The All-New Let's Make A Deal, or Body Language.
