Daniel Benfield (that would be me :) is a Co-Administrator of and semi-frequent contributor to the Wheel of Fortune History Wiki who was born on August 23, 1988 and lives in Deerfield Beach, Florida.

My main thing on this Wiki is fixing info where needed, removing needless redundancies, and adding links (mostly YouTube) to various pages – usually for unsold pilots or short-lived/rare shows.

Other Game Show Wikis of Note

 * Mark Goodson
 * Bob Stewart
 * Canadian Game Shows
 * Australian Game Shows
 * British Game Shows

I've also contributed a little bit to the Jeopardy! History Wiki (mainly, making the network timeline similar to the Wheel History Wiki), but that place is a bit of a mess (for instance, a spam page sat around for over five months).

Video Archives
If you've seen my work at the Wheel Video Archive and/or UltimaGanon's Sale of the Century Video Archive, you know that I and the other contributors tend to search on YouTube semi-regularly for game show stuff. I've been surprised time and again at what I've found, including uploaders who don't quite seem to realize just what they have.

Over the past year or so, I've made various documents and YouTube playlists for a myriad of games, and with the two exceptions above I've mostly been sitting on them. Given that this is a Wiki for game shows in general, I might as well make use of 'em. :)

(Note that the unlinked pages below are planned, and nothing regarding their existence is set in stone. For those pages that are linked, any help or additions are welcome. :)
