Was anyone else waiting for a circumcision joke in the Hilburn panel?
Silly dog. The host is Pat.
I agree with carlfink @1 – hair curls are definitely not the first thing I would think of when selecting a physical attribute denoting Judaism (especially not on an unclothed individual).
Is “Arf” their name for the letter “R”? Or is he giving his answer to the whole puzzle, correctly, by issuing a bark to indicate the guess “bark” ? Or is he giving his answer to the whole puzzle, INcorrectly, by overlooking the difference between an “Arf” and a “Bark”?
Going with the “all poodles are female” meme.
“Silly dog. The host is Pat.”
Well, there’s different language versions of the show, with different casts. And Pat isn’t the original host of the show. It ran for seven seasons as a network show before the syndicated version that still airs was developed. The original show was hosted by Chuck Woolery.

This one.

Re getting the wrong answer on Wheel (when the right one is obvious), you might enjoy this:
(The actual content starts about 30 seconds in.)
The side curls, or “payess”, are an Orthodox Jewish thing. If you live in or have visited New York City they probably would be the first thing you would think of for selecting a physical attribute of an unclothed Orthodox Jewish man.
Besides, they are easier to draw than that other attribute. And most American men of a certain age have that other attribute anyway because of aggressive sales techniques in maternity hospitals in the twentieth century.
I expected the starfish to have six arms…
This is a comic world, so I assume those are Bill Finger and Bob Kane.
Re: Mark in Boston
I want to add that curly payos are a mark of (most) Orthodox *Chassidic* Jews specifically. Pretty much no one else in the Orthodox Jewish world (and it is larger than the Chassidic world) have curly payos.
FWIW, when I read the comic my first glance was to the top of his head looking for a yarmulke. To me that is pretty much a universal feature (with varying shapes and sizes) in the Orthodox Jewish world.
Arthur: I dunno, that didn’t seem all that dumb to me. I mean yeah, the Achilles one looks silly, but it doesn’t seem particularly dumb to not know how to pronounce “Achilles.”
Wheel has tagged people for pronouncing the words with an accent, and for “lazy G”.
I’m not at all sure they should tag people for not knowing how to properly pronounce words if either it is obvious that they mean the right word, or the entire word is displayed on the board.
People who leave out words when solving the puzzle, because they get ahead of themselves, deserve the buzzer, though.

That’s why I don’t work on a game show, I guess.
