I had a realization tonight while watching a supermarket sweep rerun on Netflix. (Don’t you fucking judge me asshole)

I have never seen a midget contestant on a game show. Ever.

You would think a guy that is watching a 90s game show on a Sunday evening would have seen at least 1 fucking midget in his lifetime of game show watching, but I can’t think of one.

Does anyone remember seeing one? You don’t have to specify episodes or anything, just honor code, have you seen a midget on a game show.

Game of Thrones?? Thats kinda like a game show

 

[tommycronin]

They don't have the best luck so game shows aren't their thing.

 

[teezzy]

Me neither, seems like they always come up short.

Meh, I think this is a pretty small problem.

Game shows are a tall order, don't dismiss it as small potatoes.

I think the term you are looking for is 'vertically challenged' you can't say midgets any more

What's with horizontally challenged vertically challenged people?

When I went skateboarding last weekend, I saw a quite tall and muscular dude who had a midget wife sitting there and a normal looking son he had with her running around.

In a perfect world this would not be spectacular, but oh boy, did I have weird thoughts about this whole situation they are in.

They might not go to game shows, but they can still make tons of money https://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/arts/11-of-the-worlds-most-famous-midgets-6572268

[ipukespiders]

There's less than 10 midgets on the entire planet so the odds of one making it on a game show are extremely rare.

I saw a midget on wheel of fortune once. She couldn't reach down to spin the wheel, so they had her just jump on the wheel and start running in place until she got tired. I thought it was pretty insensitive. The wheel landed on 500, but she landed on the Jackpot space which caused some confusion at the time.

That exact midget relay race footage formed the basis for how we came up with Scrapper's run in Pacific Rim 2 if anybody has seen that film. Had to have a sort of stocky physicality, but athletic. Sorry for the derail.

I think midgets have it worse than trans folks, they don’t even have bathroom considerations

They do in asia with those squat toilets, but I guess it doesn't help where if they slip and fall they'll fit inside
