Game Night (from Game Show): Recent Episodes
The Incomparable
We go back to where it all started! Let’s play the feud… the actual original home game of Family Feud, with answers compiled by polling 1970s audiences standing in line to watch “Family Feud!” Survey Says… Host Monty Ashley with Tony Sindelar, Cicero Holmes, Glenn Fleishman, Jean MacDonald and Shelly Brisbin.
It’s Trust Me, I’m a Superhero—a game about mixing and matching super powers, arguing, and probably some yelling and shouting! (It’s available on Tabletopia if you’d like to create your own Hall of Justice.) Host Tony Sindelar with Dan Moren, James Thomson, K Benesh, Annette Wierstra and Kathy Campbell.
It’s the second-ever (and first public) episode of 7 or C! It’s a game where all the questions are about sevens or C. Seriously, that’s it. Host Tony Sindelar and James Thomson with Antony Johnston, Shelly Brisbin, Glenn Fleishman and Kathy Campbell.
Trust us, we’re doctors! Okay, not really. We simply played the delightful card game Trust Me, I’m a Doctor from Half-Monster Games. It’s available on Tabletopia if you’d like to try your hand at medical (mal)practice. Host Tony Sindelar with Dan Moren, Erika Ensign, Jane Ritt and Aleen Simms.
We return to Fiasco, featuring a visit to Space Station 119, generally considerd the bus station of space stations. From there, a complicated web of intrigue is spun, involving alpacas, poison gas, a hammer, and a very elusive piece of paperwork. Space paperwork. Host Tony Sindelar with Kelly Guimont, Cicero Holmes, Dan Moren and Monty Ashley.
Scheming elves, desperate reindeer, and strung-out misfit toys—what could this be? Why, it’s a very special Christmas-themed game of Fiasco! We bring disaster and misfortune straight to the North Pole for your delight and amusement. Host Tony Sindelar with Brian Hamilton, Dan Moren, Kathy Campbell, Kelly Guimont, Monty Ashley and Scott McNulty.
For our 100th episode spectacular, Kathy Campbell hosts a gigantic panel of players as we play mini versions of numerous Incomparable Game Show games, from Low Definition to Random Pursuit to Feuding Families to Inconceivable and beyond. Host Kathy Campbell with Tiff Arment, Steve Lutz, Monty Ashley, Allison Truj, Kelly Guimont, Jean MacDonald, Joe Rosensteel, David J. Loehr, Dan Moren, Brian Hamilton and Chip Sudderth.
Break out your utility belt, dust off your high school bookshelf, and step into the nearest available time machine, because we’re one episode short of the big Game Show 100th Episode Spectacular! To fill the time, let’s play one more round of Feuding Families, the game where our panelists try to guess your ridiculous answers to our stupid questions! Host Jason Snell with Chip Sudderth, Cicero Holmes, Brian Hamilton, Aleen Simms, Kathy Campbell and Monty Ashley.
If a train leaves from Montreal at five past the hour, how many cats will catch 100 mice in the barber shop? It’s time for Mindtrap, a game of brain teasers, puzzles, and atrocious puns. Host Brian Hamilton with Tony Sindelar, Jean MacDonald, Dan Moren, Kathy Campbell, Marisa McClellan and Scott McNulty.
Time for another Fiasco! This time our collaborative storytelling game goes to a research station in Antarctica, where there are penguins and broken relationships and illegal medications, as you might expect. Host Tony Sindelar with Erika Ensign, Brian Hamilton, Dan Moren and Kathy Campbell.
Inside a clerk’s office in a hotel in the old west town of Boomtown comes a story so dramatic and confusing that it must have been made up on the spot. Join host Tony Sindelar as he guides four players through a tale of greed, betrayal, and weird old-timey accents in the improvisational game Fiasco. Host Tony Sindelar with Mikah Sargent, Aleen Simms, Glenn Fleishman and Monty Ashley.
We return with yet more stupid guesses about your stupid answers to our stupid questions! Two “families” of Incomparable panelists compete for glory and adulation, and also something about Cool Cat. Host Jason Snell with Brian Hamilton, Dan Moren, David J. Loehr, Erika Ensign, Jean MacDonald, Tiff Arment, Mikah Sargent and Steve Lutz.
Based on a survey of Incomparable listeners, it’s time once again for a battle between two “families” of podcast panelists, who will attempt to guess the strange answers our listeners gave to innocuous questions! Along the way we’ll build a hamburger, discover monsters, and ponder the mysteries of Benedict Cumberbatch. (Kathy had the baby the next day. She has returned to Team Pacific Northwest.) Host Jason Snell with Glenn Fleishman, Kelly Guimont, Monty Ashley, Aleen Simms, Shannon Sudderth, Tony Sindelar, Cicero Holmes and Kathy Campbell.
On this episode, we play the new game, You Think You Know Me, created by Ami Baio, a card game in which you win by knowing facts and beliefs of the people with whom you’re playing. If Cards Against Humanity is “a party game for horrible people,” You Think You Know Me is somewhere on the other end of the scale. This trans-Atlantic episode features notable cultural confusion, accidental personal insights, and discussions of mortality! Hilarity, as they say, ensues. Host Glenn Fleishman with Antony Johnston, Dan Moren, Kathy Campbell, Lizbeth Myles and Tony Sindelar.
Join us for our second visit to the Victorian Parlour, where we shall play more amusements and delights that would be as at home in the parlours of England as in the rail cars of America. It’s elemental, dear listener. Host Monty Ashley with Antony Johnston, Kathy Campbell and Jason Snell.
If you like The Incomparable’s other Game Shows—well, this isn’t them. This is Clickthrough, a quiz show driven by the erratic behavior of its host, Glenn Fleishman, and Wikipedia’s random article feature. It’s like reading the encyclopedia, if it were written by flat-earth conspiracy theorists. Panelists receive points for correct answers, points for interesting answers, and points for making fun of Glenn. Correct answers lead to clicking through and falling down the rabbit hole of more articles. Host Glenn Fleishman with Brian Hamilton, Dan Moren, Kathy Campbell and Monty Ashley.
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Monty Ashley requests your presence in his parlour for a series of entertainments that are sure to delight you. Host Monty Ashley with Mikah Sargent, Brian Hamilton, Kathy Campbell, Allison Truj and David J. Loehr.
Presented to you: an experiment in storytelling. Five people, five unbelievable stories of the amazing adventures of Glenn Fleishman, who knows everyone’s cousin and has seen things you wouldn’t believe. From the shores of Hawaii to the Arctic Circle, from Florida to Scotland, we tell you some completely amazing stories of Glenn! Host Jason Snell with David J. Loehr, Dan Moren, Glenn Fleishman and Brian Hamilton.
Once more we return to our survey of Incomparable listeners from last summer, which allows two teams of humans to collectively feud while guessing what listeners answered to our ridiculous questions. It’s Feuding Families time! How Glenn ever won on “Jeopardy!” we’ll never know… [Edited by Steven Schapansky.] Host Jason Snell with Glenn Fleishman, Monty Ashley, Aleen Simms, Justin Michael, Erika Ensign and David J. Loehr.
The Game of Matching returns! Recorded live at the Gallifrey One convention in Los Angeles, our contestants try to guess the responses of three panelists, just like a game show from the 1970s, but totally different! Questions have a distinct British TV flavor, of course. Host Jason Snell with Erika Ensign, Chip Sudderth, Deborah Stanish, Rachel Donner and John O'Connor.
It’s been a while, but we’re back with another game of Introvocabulum, the game show that’s definitely not Password. Pull up a chair and practice your Care Bear Stare in preparation for this exciting episode! Host Aleen Simms and Justin Michael with Jason Snell, Erika Ensign, David J. Loehr and Mikah Sargent.
From hell’s heart, five players take a stab at answering “Star Trek” trivia questions from game master and Star Trek expert Scott McNulty. He tasks us, and we shall have him! Or not. Host Scott McNulty with Lizbeth Myles, Tony Sindelar, Jason Snell, Justin Michael and David J. Loehr.
Not a feud! No families! Nine Incomparable panelists take sides to guess your dumb answers to our dumb survey questions, live from Anaheim. Host Jason Snell with Aleen Simms, Dan Moren, Brian Hamilton, Erika Ensign, Steven Schapansky, Steve Lutz, Monty Ashley, David J. Loehr and Joe Rosensteel.
Our panelists predict your stupid answers to our stupid questions. Host Jason Snell with Steve Lutz, Dan Frakes, David J. Loehr, Tony Sindelar, Dan Moren and Tiff Arment.
Representatives from three different nations square off in a battle of 1980s trivia! (Trivia from the 1980s, not trivia about the 1980s.) Canada invented Trivial Pursuit and we’re playing from the U.S. edition, so they’ve got the upper hand. Will our UK players be confused by strange American questions? Will the very definition of geography be disputed? Yes! Host Jason Snell with Erika Ensign, Steven Schapansky, Monty Ashley, Chip Sudderth, Antony Johnston and Lizbeth Myles.
We’re back with another edition of trivia from the 1980s, as we play the original Trivial Pursuit and struggle with questions about geography, railroads, and famous mobsters, all the while grappling with the very definition of the word “leisure.” (Also, we’re not sure if Glenn Fleishman is very good at trivia.) Host Jason Snell with Dan Moren, Glenn Fleishman, David J. Loehr, Philip Michaels, Steve Lutz and Dan Frakes.
Pre-taped from the Internet, it’s a new game show that involves pairs of players guessing a magic word with single-word clues. If this sounds like the classic game show “Password,” IT IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING LIKE PASSWORD. Host Aleen Simms with Erika Ensign, Monty Ashley, David J. Loehr, Steven Schapansky and Justin Michael.
Live from the Gallifrey One convention in Los Angeles, a special “Doctor Who”-themed edition of The Game of Matching! Awkward answers to silly questions! Telepathy gone awry! And more fun than you can shake a [blank] at. Host Jason Snell with Chip Sudderth, Joe Rosensteel, Erika Ensign, Lizbeth Myles, Deborah Stanish and Shannon Sudderth.
In this edition of Game Night, we play a game called The Game of Matching that is totally not at all like a celebrity panel show from the 1970s. Also, Glenn does poetry. Host Jason Snell with Mikah Sargent, Aleen Simms, Erika Ensign, Steve Lutz, Glenn Fleishman, Philip Michaels, David J. Loehr and Monty Ashley.
“Family Feud 1977” returns, as our six contestants face off in an attempt to guess what game show audiences in 1977 were thinking. Let’s play the feud! Host Monty Ashley with Aleen Simms, Steve Lutz, Glenn Fleishman, Brian Hamilton, Dan Moren and David J. Loehr.
This month on Game Night, we take a second spin at playing Trivial Pursuit—the original Genus Edition from the 1980s, of course. Strangely enough, things get a little scatological when we get to the brown spaces. Host Jason Snell with Monty Ashley, David J. Loehr, Erika Ensign, Dan Moren, Tony Sindelar, Steve Lutz and Philip Michaels.
It’s game night! In this installment we’re playing the mid-1970s “Family Feud” home game, which forces our two teams of modern players to guess the thoughts of 100 people waiting in line to see a TV show sometime in the mid-’70s. So put on your spats and your feather hat and join us in the mountains for this whale of a good time. Host Monty Ashley with Jason Snell, Erika Ensign, Steven Schapansky, Chip Sudderth, Shannon Sudderth, Steve Lutz, Glenn Fleishman and David J. Loehr.
Our friends play an entire Trivial Pursuit game. The whole thing. Eight players, the original Genus Edition, no waiting. (Originally posted as Total Party Kill #19.) Host Jason Snell with Philip Michaels, Steve Lutz, David J. Loehr, Scott McNulty, Dan Moren, Monty Ashley, Erika Ensign and Glenn Fleishman.
