Nice Can-Con quotes Usivius.

Wikipedia wrote:Who Wants to be a Millionnaire? ... the original British version
Chris Tarrant invented "Is that your final answer?"

...I couldn't agree more! :P

actually my favorite is the famous football phase by Chris Berman on ESPN, "He-could-go-all-the-waaaay!"

And what about Eddie Murphy's lines on SNL like, "Buckwheat say O-tay!" and "I'm Gumby, dammit!" :biggrin:

or, "Welcome to Weekend Update. I'm Chevy Chase and you're not..."
