First of all, I believe Wheel of Fortune still claims to be "America's Game." And I think it was 75 appearences. But what does his Mormonism have to do with anything? I keep hearing people saying he's good, especially for a Mormon/be very nice for a Mormon/etc. Not that I am, myself, Mormon, but what's all the hype about it?
But I will agree that he, at least in part, won my heart after a while because he was so calm and pleasant throught the entire thing. That, and his EXTREME knowledge of trivia, for which I am sincerely jealous.
