Viewer Sees a Familiar Face on a Game Show Then Calls the Police

In 1988, Patrick Quinn was a contestant on the game show “Super Password,” a game show where contestants use their smarts to win large cash prizes. But there was something about him that he didn’t want anyone to know about.

Unfortunately for him, an audience member in Alaska noticed something about the bearded man that was quite familiar and possibly dangerous.

Despite the story Quinn originally told producers about his life, it seemed like his lies had finally caught up to him.

Famous and Rich? Yes Please!

In 1984, “Super Password” premiered on NBC. Everyone wanted to be a contestant on this show for the simple fact that they could be on TV and potentially earn tons of cash. That’s exactly what one particular bearded contestant had in mind, too.

He Captivated the Audience

In 1988, a man by the name of Patrick Quinn appeared on the show as a contestant and he captivated audiences with his confidence and ability to answer anything that was thrown at him. But he was hiding a dangerous secret.

He Was Very Alluring

Quinn was quite a charmer, which is why the host, studio audience, TV viewers and even the other contestants connected with him right away. He was also pretty good at playing “Super Password,” too.

So, what happened next wasn’t really much of a surprise to anyone.

He Came to the Show to Win

Quinn had obviously watched the show since it started airing because he was a pro at winning the various challenges. In fact, he was so good that he made it to the final round. But getting the grand prize became the least of his worries.
